WXW Wrestling's 7th
Annual Elite 8 Women's Tournament was held this past Saturday,
November 15th in Leesburg, Florida. Fans were not disappointed as
history was made by Mercedes Martinez who became the first woman to
win the prestigious honor for the second time.
Mercedes became the 2006
Elite 8 winner after beating Amber Oneal in round one, Hailey Hatred
in round two and Kacee Carlisle in the finals. This year she once
again held her own by defeating Ferrari in round one, Rain in round
two and Lexie Fyfe in the final round. All of the women participants
gave their all and are all winners in their own right.
(Quote from Afa) "The
Elite 8 Tournament is special to WXW because it gives women the
spotlight on their own ALL WOMEN event to allow them the chance to
showcase their athletic ability and wrestling skills with hopes of one
of them being recognized by the big league for all of their hard
work."
