7 Ups & 3 Downs From IMPACT Wrestling (18 Nov)

6. Mercedes Fires Up

In one promo, Mercedes Martinez vs. Mickie James now feels like the biggest story in IMPACT Wrestling.

It was Martinez speaking last night, addressing the history between herself and the current Knockouts World Champion. When she hit James with an Air Raid Crash, though, the respect between the two was no more. Continuing on by explaining her dominance in IMPACT thus far, Mercedes effectively promised to be crowned the new champion at Turning Point.

Legitimately, the excitement for this match is now through the roof. Mercedes has always been a typically excellent promo, but here, it was something else. There was this fire around her that truly set the promo above par. Putting the strap on her would be more beneficial than having it remain on a legend, no disrespect intended towards Mickie. It's simply the right time for Martinez to be at the forefront of a prominent women's division.
