Martinez vs. Cruise II

When Mia Martinez faced Melanie Cruise last month in Chicago Land for POWW wrestling, Rob Myers was at ringside to capture the action. We saw what happened in that match just a few weeks ago here on G.L.O.R.Y.'s Picture Of The Day. Mia fearlessly took on Cruise but was unable to overcome the obvious size disparity. Martinez went down to defeat that night. But that didn't stop her from trying again last weekend when the two ladies once again stepped into the ring for POWW in Oswego, Illinois.

Still upset by the result of their last meeting, Martinez could barely wait for the bell to ring before she charged across the ring to get at Cruise...immediately throwing forearm shots into her enemy [Picture #2]. But once again, that size difference came into play. Going toe-to-toe and brawling with the six-foot tall Cruise soon took its toll on the smaller Martinez and she found herself being manhandled by the strong brunette. In fact, Melanie seemed to be smiling as she picked up Mia in preparation for a body-shattering sidewalk slam in the middle of the POWW ring [ #3].

Then it started to look like a replay of their last match: Cruise simply threw the rule book out the window and started to maul the crowd favorite. A standing strangle against the far ring ropes [ #4] rocked Mia...and a follow-up choke down on the mat furthered the torture being inflicted on La Chica Diamante [ #5]. Apparently, trying to out-brawl Melanie Cruise is not a winning strategy!

Mia, luckily, came to a similar conclusion and shifted to a more technical strategy. Using holds such as this front sleeper/spine-stretch [ #6], Martinez was able to turn the tide of the match. The result: a roll-up cradle pin [ #7] for the win!

After two matches, the tally stands at a win apiece. Will POWW be hosting the rubber match between these two talented wrestlers? If they do we sure hope that Rob will be there to record all the action for us. Meanwhile, check out all of Rob's shots of this match on his MySpace page. Just click on the link below...
