Amber O'Neal vs Mercedes Martinez

Two veterans square off in a Best of 3 Falls Match, with special guest ref Lexie Fyfe , who has more than a little trouble getting Amber to take the instructions seriously. Eventually, Amber tones down the posturing and the match begins. Things start off carefully enough with Amber working over Mercedes' arms at a slow, deliberate pace and she is more than a little surprised when Mercedes busts out a reversal that even impresses both Amber and the referee! The match continues at this pace, with lots of time mixed in for Amber to complain about the ref's (alleged) slow counts and short attention span. Mercedes takes the First Fall with a quick submission out of an excruciating hold and for the Second Fall, things get a bit nastier, with kicks and closed fists replacing the armbars and Full Nelsons of before. This is right up Amber's street as she has no problem countering with rope and boot chokes of her own, weakening Mercedes enough for Amber to tie the score with an impressive looking pin. With the score tied, both ladies pull out all the stops with the action going back-and-forth until one competitor is knocked out cold with a high-impact move that even the slowest counting ref in the world count get to 3 on.
