SESSION MOTH MARTINA SIGNS WITH.......... by Mike Johnson @ 12:59 PM on 9/11/2019
Irish female star Session Moth Martina has signed a full-time deal with Ring of Honor and will be appearing regularly for the company very shortly. We are told her ROH deal will allow her to continue to work for STARDOM in Japan and work independent dates in Europe.
Martina is a former ICW Women's Champion and has held the Over the Top Wrestling Women's Championship as well as the OTT Gender Neutral Championship.
WWE had been pursuing Martina of late, offering her a contract for the NXT UK brand, but Martina turned the deal down, choosing instead to sign with ROH.
Martina has been competing since 2011.

I’m sure she has her reasons, but Ring Of Honor in its current state ain’t exactly a hotbed for women’s wrestling. For her sake, I hope she gets the opportunities to help turn that around.

I'd ask if she'd been drinking before signing but... well...

Honestly, I see the logic even with ROH’s issues.
The big thing from what I can tell for her is keeping the gimmick. It’s marketable, it draws, she’s travelled the world off the back of it. If she signs with NXT, no guarantee she’ll be able to keep it or it’d be toned down.
Considering how ROH has its women’s division right now, people might see it as a good stepping up point to a bit more national exposure in America with fewer dates then, say, an NXT UK or even a regular NXT. Worse case scenario, she’s there for a cup of coffee, she can bank on the fact she was in ROH and it won’t affect very much else since it is ROH at the end of the day. Best case scenario, she can be one of the pieces of a new rebuilt WOH with people like Manic and the like. The latter is less likely but still.
The only real curiosity is how often she’ll be in Ireland and the UK for, mostly because for OTT at least, she’s doing the next Belfast show but not the 5th Anniversary weekend double header. Not sure about other shows.

Interesting move. I’m assuming they’re bringing her in to feud with The Allure. If nothing else, it’s a chance to get a US work visa do some time in the states, and see where your value is at the end of the contract.

OOF. Another poor soul to be lost in nepotism central, jobbing to Kelly Klein and that Allure bullshit.

Random non ROH question, has she ever teamed with/faced ODB? Because that I'd like to see some time.

I mean, not-so-great as ROH is, if she's getting better money just for hanging around ROH and still having the freedom to work the UK and Stardom, that's a net gain for not really much more, as opposed o however much WWE wanted for NXT UK purgatory, assuming there was even a decent offer there.

Per Urban Dictionary, a Session Moth is an Irish woman who is a party animal, always up for drinking or fighting and other "craic". Martina drinks quite a lot, even during matches, and has an ever increasing (or sometimes decreasing) amount of children. Of which two she has accused me of fathering.

Session Moth Martina sounds like a random one-off that some brewery would have on tap.

I have the feeling ROH will continue recycling TNA storylines, and have Martina feud with the Allure ala ODB feuding with the BP.

Selfishly, I am pleased she got a deal that means she will still be on the indies.
Keeping the gimmick is a great thing too. No way it would fly in WWE, and taking its teeth renders it pointless.
I hope ROH don't f*** it up completely.

As always with ROH and women, I hope this will be a turning point, but they have had quality women under employ before that didn't do anything to change ROH's indifference to their women's division. So, I'm pessimistic on this, but would love to be wrong.
