as PICTURE BASE: Jacqueline Bracamontes
PERSONAL. BIRTH NAME: Mercedes Alicia Vargas Castaños de Ortega NICKNAME: N/A AGE: June 25, 1980 HEIGHT: 5'07" (1.70 m) WEIGHT: 125 lbs. (57 kg; 8.9 st) HOMETOWN: Buenos Aires, Argentina RESIDES: Los Angeles, California OUT OF RING APPEARANCE: Whatever she feels to wear that day
PROFESSIONAL. PREFERRED BRAND: Thursday Night Showdown PERFORMER NAME: Mercedes Vargas ALIAS: "The Argentine Assassin", "Mercy V", "The Black Rose Mamba/La Mamba Rosa Negra", "The Black Rose Bombshell/La Rosa Negra Bombón", "Latina Heat", "The Verbal Napalm Bomb","Spanish Fly" BILLED FROM: Buenos Aires, Argentina ALIGNMENT: Tweener (leaning to heel) WRESTLING STYLE: Lucha libre, technical RING PSYCHOLOGY (GIMMICK): Although a tweener, she's a proper heel, no backtracking or running away. Loves playing up to the crowd and intimidating opponents when having the upper hand. Outside of that, what you see is what you get. She's outspoken and her sharp tongue usually leads to her being hated by her co-workers, who find her anywhere from being delusional and a motormouth to extremely annoying, depending on the context, and she can't seemingly forget a grudge, going as far as relaying the history on what led to the event in question. On occasion, she is shown to be obnoxious and breaks into accented, finger-waving Spanish to annoy the crowd or her opponent, which she finds invaluable assets, especially when it comes to trash talking, which she finds herself surprisingly good at. SUPPORTING CAST: N/A WEAPON OF CHOICE: Steel pipe PREFERRED MATCHES: Singles competition and multi-person matches (triple threat, fatal four-way). HATED MATCHES: Not so much hated per se, but she would rather win or lose matches on her own merits IN-RING APPEARANCE: When it comes to ring attire, functionability, flexibility, and sex appeal are the keys that Mercedes values above all else. Mostly wears two-piece PVC ring gear consisting of midriff revealing tops (usually of the crop top/halter top/tank top/vest top variety) and black pants or a crop-top/shorts combo. Fingerloop gloves and black boots are standard parts of her ring gear.
STRENGTHS: • Experience/Veteran Status: Mercedes has been wrestling for 11 years, so she knows her way around the ring (she’s wrestled over 500 matches in that time). She’s a decorated champion and an international superstar, having traveled the world (over 200 cities in over 40 countries on six continents), including most of the United States (save for three states: Delaware, Kansas and Vermont), Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, the Middle East, Africa, Germany and Australia. • Versatility: Mercedes can put on a good match with just about anyone in about any situation. She's able to mesh with the various styles of her opponents and instantly becomes the plucky underdog when wrestling larger opponents. She isn't afraid to mix it up in a brawl if the situation calls for it. Due to her chameleon-like skills she can put on a match that is at least good. • Fighting Style: Mercedes complements a well-rounded mat game with a pretty lucha libre style and often lethal stiff kicks, so she can slow down or speed up the pace of the match on a dime.
WEAKNESSES: • Getting Under the Skin of Opponents: Mercedes isn’t afraid to speak her mind and is very proud of her feisty, genuine personality. She generally keeps to herself, but when someone speaks ill of her, she brings the house. If she’s pushed, she’s not afraid to push back. • Showboating and Arrogance: Inside the ring, Mercedes loves playing to the crowd and takes any and every opportunity to showcase her superiority, especially against inferior opponents. she normally goes for the intimidation game and loves to taunt her opponents to no end when she has the upper hand. If she is challenged early on in the match, she'll use the outside of the ring to rest, or ducking into the ropes to slow the match down. And if things REALLY become unbearable, she can become sadistic with a mean streak that can carry over into dangerous extremes. While she feels she's too good of a wrestler to resort to cheating, that doesn't mean she won't if the situation presents itself, usually to retaliate against an opponent who did so to her. Mercedes looks to prove her worth as an in-ring competitor, and isn’t shy on letting the entire world know about it. Basically, she's full of herself. At least that's how everyone else sees her. Somewhat hovering between confident and cocky, those who come across her usually end up asking themselves, “Who the hell does she think she is?” It usually doesn't take long for them to figure it out, though. Also, she can’t seem to forget a grudge and goes as far as relaying the history on what led to the event in question. • Strength Disadvantage: When facing opponents that utilize a power game, Mercedes adapts to hit-and-run tactics and outsmarting her opponent
ENTRANCE THEME: link U2 - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
ENTRANCE: Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.
RING ANNOUNCER: Making her way to the ring, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, weighing in at 125 pounds…MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS! (Viene entrando su camino a la cuadrilátero, de Buenos Aires, Argentina…pesando de 56 kilos…MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!)
Cheers, boos and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. She vaults into the ring and walks over to the opposite corner where she relaxes along the corner ropes while waiting for her opponent(s) to arrive.
Match Writing Note: During singles or multi-person matches, if Mercedes isnt the first competitor introduced, she simply looks down at her opponent(s) with disdain from the turnbuckle than looks out towards the crowd before entering the ring.

BIOGRAPHY. Originally from Buenos Aires, where she remained until 21 (the legal age of majority at the time in her home country) before moving to the United States. Mercedes never took wrestling seriously, but eventually changed her mind when she settled in the States. She split her time between Chicago and Moline, Illinois, where she joined a wrestling school and graduated in 15 months while taking up the occasional modelling, acting or singing engagement to help pay for travel. It didn’t take long to impress talent scouts of her natural wrestling abilities and she started out touring the Illinois and Midwest independent circuits for two years before putting her career on hold to focus on modelling and acting full time. After three years, Vargas picked up her wrestling career and returned to the independent circuit for a few months until signing with the all-female London promotion Divas Unleashed in late December 2008, making her debut in January 2009
Mercedes has traveled the world, has gone on to win various awards and honors and became a multi-time champion, including being a multi-time world champion, tag team champion and reigns as a television and international champion and all in less than ten years in the business. In addition to Spanish, Mercedes is also fluent in English, French, German and some Italian.
An avid sports fan, she supports her native Argentina side in football and follows the major sports leagues in the United States, mostly the New York teams (the Knicks of the NBA, Rangers of the NHL, Giants of the NFL and Mets in MLB) and college sports on occasion. Mercedes became a US citizen in 2009 while maintaining her Argentinian citizenship.
