29. Mercedes Martinez

Intensity is the name of the game for Mercedes Martinez, who wrestles under her own name. There are very few wrestlers out there, male or female that match Martinez's passion in the ring when she's performing. Despite not being on some of the major wrestling platforms, she's one of the most popular personalities in the game amongst true wrestling aficionados. It doesn't matter if she's wrestling men or women, she has the ability to punish her opponents with multiple suplexes every match as a tribute to Eddie Guerrero and her finishers in the Surfboard Dragon Sleeper and Fisherman Buster are amongst some of the most brutal in the game.

Prior to ever considering a pro-wrestling career, Martinez excelled as a basketball player. Unfortunately, due to an injury sustained while in college she ditched the hardwood for the mat and began to pursue wrestling in 2000. Since then. Mercedes Martinez has become an independent circuit queen, currently holding the WXW Women's championship, the Phoenix Of RISE Championship, World Association of Wrestling's Bellatrix World Championship, the IndyGurlz Championship, the Indy Gurlz Australian Championship, and the AWS Heavyweight Championship. Martinez just can't lose.
