Amazing Kong vs. Mercedes Martinez
Even though Kong powered Mercedes around the ring with ease, she had a hard time hitting her. But Martinez didn’t have a hard time getting a headlock on Kong. It wasn’t until Mercedes was on Kong’s back when everything went downhill. Kong crushed Mercedes between herself and the corner before clotheslining Martinez. To add insult to injury, Kong sat on Mercedes while biting her boots. And an avalanche splash was just as disturbing for Mercedes body. After a leg drop couldn’t get a pin for Kong, she tried to camel clutch Mercedes. Martinez used a jawbreaker to free herself before unleashing some punches and knees to rock the roped Kong. Mercedes momentum ended with a Mongolian chop, followed by a thrust to her throat with her pointy nails.
Mercedes avoided the running big splash, regaining her wind as Kong did the same. A running dropkick knocked Kong down for a two seconds. The next two dropkicks only angered Kong. And the barrage of forearms didn’t help Mercedes either – running into the Implant Buster for her trouble. But Mercedes refused to say die, turning the Amazing Bomb into a face buster. After a couple of seconds, both women rose. Martinez avoided Kong’s attack, using a few of running kicks to wobble the much larger athlete. Fisherman Buster on Kong … for a near fall!
What strength by Mercedes! Also, for the first time in SHIMMER history someone kicked out of the Fisherman Buster follow up pin. Kong also turned the tides, Amazing Bombing Mercedes moments later … to earn a two count due to a rope break!
Mercedes ducked the spinning back fist follow up, Saito suplexing Kong on her head. Kong jumped to her feet like it didn’t even hurt her and grabbed Martinez with another Amazing Bomb to end this contest.
Winner: Amazing Kong (9:43)
Is It A Classic: Another great “David vs. Goliath” style match from the ladies of SHIMMER where Martinez attempted to hit hard and fast, but couldn’t land enough significant shots early on in comparison to her eventual conqueror.
