Match/Stipulation: Mercedes Martinez vs. Xia Li [with Boa & Mei Ying;] Singles Match

Match Attributes:

Match Quality: 6/10

Match Slot Storyline: 8/10

Crowd Participation: 6/10

On Commentary: Vic Joseph, Wade Barrett & Beth Phoenix 8/10

Satisfying Conclusion: 6/10

Recommend Watch: 6/10

Match Total: 40/60 - this match is good

Comments: this match is solidly good, but I have a fair bit to say on it now. I know that the back body drops that Martinez performs on her opponent Li looked mostly okay it is just they look a bit wonky in the final phase of this move. I don't know if I have said this before, but if I have or haven't it is a good time to point out. I prefer the style of back body drops that requires both hands so it gives the receiver enough time to more often than not flip over on to their back, instead of basically the over the shoulder version, because it seems to be more controlled by both wrestlers preforming the move. But in the interest of fairness and balance here, maybe they chose this version because is more down to space and of course with the shoulder version you can limit the spacing distance to go up and over. I feel sorry for this match/match slot, because having to follow what this audience has just seen in the opening match/match slot is and was going to be hard work. To be fair to the crowd they were there for this match/match slot but as my marking would suggest they were there but on the whole mixture between burnt out and/or reserving their energy. Barrett says "Snapping the back of the neck Martinez against the middle roper" [when Martinez is perched on the ropes sitting and Li performs a running dropkick to take Martinez threw them.] I just found it odd when he said roper instead of rope, I am not clutching onto this draws here. But it is one of those kind of things that sticks out even though it is just one word.]
