Mercedes Martinez was taken to the hospital tonight during the ROH show in Hartford, CT after a match with Jimmy Jacobs, against BJ Whitmer and Daizee Haze.
Mercedes took an Exploder from Whitmer and then took a nasty bump on a lariat from BJ. She seemed to have hurt her neck on the lariat, and was carried from the ring. ROH staff members said she was taken to the hospital after the match.
Hopefully she'll be OK. It goes without saying, but Mercedes was awesome tonight (as was Daizee) and really got the crowd behind the match. She's an amazing talent, and like all these guys and girls, gives her all out there. Hope she's alright.

I was told she got knocked out as a result of the lariat, but they still finished the match. She was taken to the hospital later in the night. She sustained a terrible concussion, but the full extent of her injury isn't clear just yet. ROH officials last heard that she was feeling a little better, for what it's worth. We'll let everyone know as soon as we get any updates on her condition.
Mercedes has always been one of those wrestlers who hits very hard, and is willing to absorb just as much punishment in return from her opponent. She truly puts her own well being on the line every time she steps into the ring, to give the fans the best match possible. We all wish her a quick recovery.

Gabe Sapolsky posted the following this morning at ROHwrestling.com...
-Mercedes Martinez suffered perhaps the worst concussion I've ever seen and had trouble moving in the back. It was a really scary scene. She was taken to the hospital in an ambulance and last word I got a couple of hours ago was that she was doing much better. Get well soon Mercedes!!!
