K   KARA DREW Wrestler: Cherry Real Name: Kara Elizabeth Drew Birthday: July 15, 1975 Hometown: Morristown, New Jersey Height & Weight: 5'6" - 134 lbs Trained by: ECPW Debut: January 1999 Previous Gimmicks: Miss Kara (Indy), Kara Slice (Indy), Cherry Pie (OVW/WWE), Cherry (WWE) Finishing Move: The Stunner Notable Feuds: Cody Runnels, Shawn Spears, Natalya Neidhart, Maryse Ouellet Drew became a fan of professional wrestling after watching the first WrestleMania pay-per-view event in 1985. Her favorite wrestlers included Miss Elizabeth and Macho Man Randy Savage. Drew never thought she would get the opportunity to become a professional wrestler, but one of her co-workers was related to the founder and promoter of Stars and Stripes Championship Wrestling based in Nutley, New Jersey, where she debuted under the ring name Miss Kara. She was invited to attend Independent Wrestling Federation (IWF) shows by Kevin Knight and received an "up close and personal" look from a "behind the scenes" perspective. In January 1999, Drew began working as a manager in IWF. She worked as a manager and an occasional wrestler in various federations on the east coast, including East Coast Pro Wrestling (ECPW), the National Wrestling Alliance in New Jersey, ISPW, State-Side Championship Wrestling and Northeast Wrestling. In 2002, she worked for National Wrestling Superstars, and later with Phoenix Championship Wrestling, where she feuded with Alexis Laree. By 2003, she was working primarily as a singles competitor. She wrestled in various independent promotions until September 2005. The same year, Drew started wrestling for Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), the developmental territory for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), and relocated to Louisville, Kentucky. In late 2005, Drew began working for OVW. She eventually signed a developmental contract with WWE in January 2006. Drew used the ring name "Cherry Pie" and was the manager of the tag team The Throw-Backs, comprising Deuce Shade and Dice Domino, the latter of whom was her storyline brother, in OVW. She became part of their 1950s in-ring persona, wearing poodle skirts and roller skates and chewing gum at all times. In mid-2006, during their time together, the team underwent an image change, including changing their name to "The Untouchables" and dropping Pie, Dice, and Shade from their respective names. In late 2006, the team of Shawn Spears and Cody Runnels defeated The Untouchables in a tag team match and won the services of Cherry. Cherry accompanied Spears and Runnels to ringside, and soon Spears began to have a crush on her, which began interfering in their matches. Cherry betrayed Spears and Runnels, however, and helped Deuce and Domino win the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship. For their first match with WWE, where they debuted on the SmackDown! brand, the team underwent a name change to "Deuce 'n Domino". They debuted on the January 19, 2007 episode, where she managed Deuce 'n Domino in a tag team match, which Deuce 'n Domino won. During this time that Cherry was rarely physically involved in their matches. On the April 20, episode of SmackDown!, Cherry was in the corner of Deuce 'n Domino when they won the WWE Tag Team Championship by defeating Paul London and Brian Kendrick. On the October 12 episode of SmackDown!, in a backstage segment, Jamie Noble revealed to Deuce and Domino that he had heard Jimmy Wang Yang making suggestive comments about Cherry. Later that episode, Yang defeated Deuce in a singles match. After the match, however, Deuce 'n Domino double-teamed him, and Cherry slapped Yang. This later developed into a feud between Deuce and Domino, and Yang and his partner, Shannon Moore. On the March 7, 2008 episode of SmackDown, Cherry competed in a Swimsuit Contest, along with WWE Divas Maryse, Victoria, Eve Torres, and Michelle McCool. On the March 28 episode of SmackDown, Cherry transformed into a fan favorite by teaming with McCool to defeat Victoria and Maryse. She made her WWE singles match debut defeating Victoria with a roll-up, following a distraction from McCool, on the April 18 episode of SmackDown. On April 27, at the Backlash pay-per-view, Cherry made her pay-per-view debut in a 12-Diva Tag Team match, in which her team lost. In a WWE.com exclusive video, she was dumped by Deuce and Domino for Maryse when they announced that they wanted nothing more to do with her after her unannounced departure from them. Maryse proceeded to provoke Cherry after their announcement, only to get slapped for her troubles. She went on to pick up a singles victory over Maryse. Cherry then went on into a minor feud with Natalya, who debuted with a win over Cherry via the Sharpshooter, a submission move. Over the weeks to come, Natalya continued to defeat Cherry, including at Vickie Guerrero's wedding. As a condition of catching Guererro's bouquet, Cherry won a match against Guerrero, but first had to face Natalya, who defeated her with the Sharpshooter. Following this loss, Guererro immediately had a match with Cherry, quickly pinning her for the victory. Cherry was released from her WWE contract on August 15, 2008. As Kara Slice she returned to Northeast Wrestling in October 2008. On her myspace page, she updated everyone in December 2009, by saying: 'I want to put it out there that I am NOT going to be involved in any type of wrestling in the near future. Give it a year or two. I would love to be apart of TNA also but I do not like the way that they try to start wars with WWE, when WWE could not care less. Maybe someday I can join them knockouts but as for now I am going to answer your questions and wishes with no, I wont come back to WWE and I am not joining TNA. For now I am just enjoying my free time. Thanks all. Love you guys.'   KAREN ANGLE Valet: Karen Smedley-Angle Birthday: October 12, 1972 Hometown: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Height: 5'10" Trained by: Kurt Angle Debut: August 2, 2006 Notable Feuds: Samoa Joe, Sting, Kevin Nash, Sharmell Karen Angle (née Smedley) (born October 12, 1972 in Greensburg, Pennsylvania) is an American former professional wrestling valet and personality. She is most famous for her stint in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling from 2007 - 2008. She is the former wife of professional wrestler and Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle, and currently engaged to marry current TNA founder and wrestler, Jeff Jarrett. Karen was never involved in a storyline in World Wrestling Entertainment while her husband, Kurt Angle, was under contract. She, herself, was never under contract - but she briefly appeared at Unforgiven in 2001 as a part of the big celebration with the Angle family following her husband's victory over Steve Austin for the WWF Championship. She also made an appearance on the WrestleMania XX DVD set in a bonus segment regarding Kurt and Brock Lesnar. Karen Angle was introduced in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) in the summer of 2007 when Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle were feuding for an all-at-once Triple Crown Championship (Kurt held the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, and Joe held the TNA X Division and TNA World Tag Team Championship). Karen was supposedly wanting to divorce Kurt, claiming that he was emotionally abusive toward both her and their children. At the Hard Justice pay-per-view, however, Karen betrayed Joe during his match with her husband, resulting in Kurt winning the Triple Crown (thus turning her heel). In the following weeks, her character began to develop into a manipulative vamp, such as when Karen claimed that Sting slapped her at No Surrender when, in fact, he had not. This led to Kurt and Sting losing the Tag Team titles to Team Pacman after Kurt executed the Olympic slam on Sting. Another feud then erupted between Kurt Angle and Sting in which Sting had Karen arrested for violating a restraining order and Kurt stalking Sting's son. At Genesis, Karen persuaded A.J. Styles and Tomko into helping Kurt retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship during the tag team match for the title. In late 2007, Karen began to have issues with Booker T's wife Sharmell, claiming there was only room for one "queen" in TNA (a direct reference to Booker T's and Sharmell's last WWE gimmick, where they were self-believed royalty after Booker won the 2006 King of the Ring tournament). This led to a catfight at the December 12 TNA Impact! tapings. Karen suffered a broken foot after jumping from the apron after an in-ring segment. She did not miss any time as a result of TNA's taping schedule. On the February 14, episode of Impact!, Karen was scheduled to renew her wedding vows to Kurt, but in the storyline, she was pronounced married to A.J. Styles after the priest, who had just been knocked down by Samoa Joe, awoke and married the two, mistaking Styles for Kurt. Kurt then started to emotionally attack Karen for not ending the "marriage." Recently she proposed to separate from Kurt Angle (kayfabe) which Kurt Angle supported to "concentrate on his upcoming match with Samoa Joe at Lockdown." Since then, hints of a relationship with A.J. were given, after Kurt continued to ignore Karen, even having her ejected from her ringside seat at Lockdown. On the May 22 episode of Impact!, Kurt Angle asked Karen to the ring to forgive him for not performing his husbandly duties and to ask her to come home. Karen then left a begging Kurt in the ring after he pleaded for a second chance. At the end of Impact!, Karen came to the ring to the aid of A.J. Styles who was being beaten four on one by Booker T, Team 3D, and Tomko. After being ejected, Karen ran to the back to enlist Kurt's aid, who came out with a chair. Kurt threatened the four with the chair, only to turn around and see his estranged wife hugging a bloody AJ. Kurt freaked and hit AJ with the chair, thus prompting the four back in the ring. Team 3D held Karen up while Kurt held AJ's head, yelling at Karen, telling her this was all her fault. Kurt is quoted as saying to Karen, "This is your fault! You deceived me!" On the May 29 edition of Impact! after being assaulted backstage before his entrance, A.J. ran to the ring to help Karen only to be beat down by Team 3D and Kurt Angle for the second week in a row. Christian Cage came to the ring to aid Styles but was viciously assaulted for his trouble as well. It was then announced that at the Slammiversary pay-per-view it would be A.J. Styles one-on-one with Kurt Angle. Karen then interfered helping A.J. Styles win his match against Kurt Angle at Slammiversary. Shortly thereafter, Angle was given her own interview segment, Karen's Angle on iMPACT, interviewing Kaz on the show's premiere on July 24. On the October 9 episode of Impact!, it was announced that Karen had to step down as the host of Karen's Angle to focus on her family. Her profile and Knockout photos were taken off TNA's official website, but were put back up only a couple days later. Her profile has since been removed from the TNA roster page.   KATARINA WATERS Wrestler: Katie "The Kat" Lea Real Name: Katarina Waters Birthday: November 10, 1980 Hometown: Born in Germany, Lived in England Moved to Louisville, Kentucky Marital Status: Once Dated Alex Shane, Now Single Height & Weight: 5'8" - 135 lbs Trained by: Jon Ryan (Hammerlock), Mark Sloan (FWA Academy) Debut: Febuary 2000 Previous Gimmicks: Kat, Nikita (UK), Katie "The Kat" Lee, The Beautiful Nightmare Finishing Move: Spinning Neckbreaker onto Knee Favorite Moves: Samoan Drop, Insi guri, Various Backbreakers Notable Feuds: Paul Travel of 'The Family', Beth Phoenix, ODB, Super Crazy, Mickie James, Mr. Kennedy, Alicia Fox (ECW), Hornswoggle, The Bella Twins, The Hurricane Katarina Waters (born November 10, 1980) is a German-born English professional wrestler and valet. She is best known from World Wrestling Entertainment, performing on its Raw brand under the ring name Katie Lea. Prior to signing with WWE, she spent many years on the independent circuit, particularly in the Frontier Wrestling Alliance, where she used the ring name Nikita. Waters was born and raised in Germany before relocating to England to attend university. She is fluent in both languages. When she joined the FWA, she entered into a relationship with Alex Shane, though they later broke up. They have since remained friends and continued to share a flat in London. At a young age, Waters read an article about the main event of WrestleMania VI and believed the Ultimate Warrior's mysterious origins to be true. When she came to England at 18, she was under the impression that wrestling companies only existed in America until she saw a local show advertised in London. However, the show's style was catered more towards British wrestling than sports entertainment and Waters once again retired thoughts of becoming involved in wrestling until she saw Alex Shane and Dominator on The Jerry Springer Show with their more outrageous gimmicks and became interested again, seeking out National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) UK Hammerlock and being trained by Jon Ryan. Originally Waters used the name Kat but after Stacy Carter began using this name in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), she changed her name to Nikita after the television program La Femme Nikita. After being trained Waters made her debut in February 2000 on ITV Meridian's TransAtlantic Wrestling Challenge, a tournament between British and American wrestlers of the NWA where she won the Women's Championship. After starting her wrestling career, Waters sought the Frontier Wrestling Alliance (FWA) and began training with Alex Shane, who inspired her on The Jerry Springer Show. With Shane she began hosting a talk radio programme on Talksport which helped FWA gain national notoriety among the wrestling community. Because of her association with the show she was placed on the card for their February 2002 event, Revival, where she lost to Lexie Fyfe.[ However, the match was badly reviewed backstage and Waters began training twice a week to improve herself. To keep exposure while improving her in-ring skills, she began to frequently tag team with fellow newcomer Hade Vansen in mixed tag team matches, including a match against British female veteran Sweet Saraya, until August when she impressed with a singles match against Paul Travell. This led to a feud where Travell dominated until the end of 2002 but in the first FWA event of 2003 Nikita picked up her first singles victory in the company over Travell and went on a singles winning streak for a month until she lost in her third bout against Andy Simmons. While Nikita had become successful as a solo wrestler, however, her rivalry with Travell had escalated when he became part of The Family, a group of villainous wrestlers who became FWA Tag Team Champions. The feud escalated after Nikita and Shane failed to win the Tag Team Championship a number of times and led to one of Waters' most famous moments in wrestling when, at the Frontiers of Honour co-held with American promotion Ring of Honor (ROH) in May Alex Shane, Ulf Herman, and Nikita took on The Family (Travell, Brandon Thomas, and Scott Parker in a hardcore six-man tag team match. Though The Family won, Nikita gained notoriety when she jumped from the top tier in the arena onto the ground, landing on The Family and their feud ended. It was later announced to be the tenth most memorable moment of the FWA's first decade in their YouTube Top 20 Countdown. With her rivalry against The Family over, Nikita began a new storyline where an anonymous bounty had been put on her head. As she took on all comers trying to claim the bounty, Nikita went undefeated in the rest of 2003 and 2004 including her favourite match against Darren Burridge in March 2004. By June 2004 she had faced and defeated most of the company's major wrestlers which led to the return of the World Association of Wrestling's veteran Sweet Saraya who revealed the bounty had been placed on Nikita by the jealous ring announcer, Jane Childs. Saraya claimed the bounty with a non-sanctioned assault on Nikita, delivering a tombstone piledriver at the Carpe Diem event putting Nikita out of action for months and off the FWA roster for over a year. She returned in October 2005 in a losing effort against Simply Luscious. She was victorious on the next show in a six-man tag team match, with her and Luscious on opposing teams. Though Nikita would not wrestle after this point, she realigned herself with former tag team partner Hade Vansen and at New Frontiers 2006 helped him win the FWA British Heavyweight Championship in a five-way event featuring Joe Legend, Alex Shane, Jody Fleisch, and Jonny Storm. She remained at Vansen's side until June's FWA Vs All Star Wrestling event year when she announced her retirement from the company as she had been scouted for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) for training. In 2005 she flew to France to take part in the Fighting Spirit Federation's subordinate promotion Queens of Chaos. In an exhibition match she aligned herself with German wrestler Sick (Dejan Stegar) in a losing tag team effort to Kid Kash and Trinity. However, in the Queen of the Rumble match with the World Queen of Chaos Championship on the line she entered second and became the winner, besting competition from England, Ireland, America, and Japan. She defended the title all over France and in Switzerland until almost exactly a year later when, after defending the belt against Skye in a two out of three falls match, she announced she had exclusively signed with WWE and had to relinquish the title undefeated. During her time on the Continent she made a guest appearance in German Stampede Wrestling (GSW), losing to Wesna with Nora Greenwald as referee International Impact III. She returned to GSW for Night In Motion VII: A Few Good Men in July 2006 to take on the promotion's other premiere female wrestler and namesake, Blue Nikita. The Greek Nikita won the match and since then Waters has used the name Katie Lea instead. Just before she lost her Nikita name to Blue Nikita, Waters took part in the video tapings for Shimmer Women Athletes in May 2006. Playing a fan favourite in Volume 5, she defeated Lacey but then for Volume 6 became a villain by using underhanded tactics and was pinned by Daizee Haze. After relocating to the United States, Waters began using the ring name Katie Lea, having lost a match to Greek wrestler and namesake Blue Nikita (see above). Nicknamed 'The Kat' to go with her original ring name, she made her debut with a dark match victory over Melody in August 23. A week later she teamed with ODB to make her television debut, losing to Beth Phoenix and Serena. At the time ODB, seeing herself as the best wrestler in OVW, created the OVW Women's Championship for herself and defended it in a battle royal which Lea participated in but ODB retained. On September 13 she had another chance in a four watch match but Serena won the belt, besting Lea, Phoenix, and ODB. Her next title opportunity, on October 11, ended in disqualification when an angry Serena, who had lost the belt to Phoenix, interrupted her three way match also including ODB. Lea consoled herself by winning a Halloween costume contest. The day after Halloween saw the OVW Women's Championship contested for in a gauntlet match where Phoenix outlasted the first five contenders but Lea proved too much for her, pinning Serena last to win her first Women's Championship. She would hold the belt for 212 days, giving her the longest single and combined reigns until Melody went over that mark in June 2009. Phoenix did not take her loss well as it was not in a straight singles match and tried to earn a rematch but lost to Lea in a mixed tag team match the following week, with El Aero Fuego and Charles Evans as their respective partners. Lea tried to defend her belt against Serena but the match ended in disqualification when a jealous Phoenix attacked Serena for having a chance before her and so on November 22 the three were put in a no-disqualification non-title match which Serena won. Having already defended her belt against Serena, though, Lea continued to defend against newcomers, such as ODB and Jennifer Fit. She also began to host an in-ring talk segment entitled "Kat's Kradle. After this match, on December 6, Beth Phoenix made her way to the ring and announced herself as still being champion with her own belt. Troubleshooter, or authority figure, Danny Basham announced that as ODB had created the belt for herself neither belt was official but promised to settle the matter. On the next week's TV taping he announced that the dispute would be settled in OVW's first ladies ladder match and the winner would be officially recognised as Women's Champion. In the last television episode of 2006, Lea climbed to the top of the ladder to retrieve both belts and become the undisputed OVW Women's Champion as the year closed. Their feud closed on the first episode of 2007 when Basham went to present the OVW Women's Championship, giving it official recognition in the company, only for Phoenix to snatch it from him. However this proved to be a show of sportsmanship as Phoenix presented the belt to Lea herself in recognition of their competitive ladder match. She then began a feud with Cherry Pie after two successful title defences against her resulted in an assault from Pie's stablemates The Untouchables (Deuce and Domino) until Jon Bolen and Ryan Reeves saved her. Days later at a non-televised event, Lea and Bolen defeated Cherry and Domino in a mixed tag match. However, the televised rematch was a three-on-two handicap with all three Untouchables defeating Lea and Bolen. At the end of January all the women in OVW competed in a two out of three tug of war which Lea was on the winning side. This led to the Miss OVW competition which saw the women compete in a variety of competitions and matches with ODB gaining the crown on March 21. After this ODB picked up a non-title victory on April 11 and win by disqualification the following week and with a battle royal victory earned herself contention for the title. On June 1, ODB brought Lea's reign as champion to an end in singles action at OVW Six Flags. The following week ODB and Lea were tied winners in a bikini battle royal leading to a hot fudge tug of war to decide the winner, which ODB won. A musical chairs contest the next day ended abruptly when Lea hit ODB with a chair but in the subsequent eight-woman tag team match saw Phoenix pin Lea when ODB retaliated with a chair shot of her own. She won a subsequent musical chairs contest on June 15 at Six Flags. After a series of mixed tag team contests between the two, ODB retained her title in a three way match also featuring Victoria Crawford on July 21. She pinned Phoenix in August for another shot at the belt but came up short at the end of the month. Milena Roucka then won the belt from ODB in a six-way dark match that Lea participated in. After defeating Roucka twice in non-title matches in late October, Roucka attacked Lea in a game of duck, duck, goose and then defeated Lea in a Kiss My Foot match in December to retain the title. In 2008, Lea began receiving presents from a secret admirer including a telegram, flowers, and an outfit. By late February, Paul Burchill revealed himself to be her admirer and helped her win the Women's Championship for the second time. She lost the belt a week later to Josie in a dark match because WWE had severed ties with OVW and called her up to their programming. Waters made her television debut on February 11's Raw (airing on tape delay from the previous week) as the on-screen sister of fellow FWA alumnus Paul Burchill, becoming Katie Lea Burchill. The two displayed early signs of a gimmick based around incest with Paul using the catchphrase "whatever Katie wants, Katie gets." At WrestleMania XXIV, Lea was one of the lumberjills in the Playboy BunnyMania Match, in which Beth Phoenix and Melina defeated Maria and Ashley. After appearing alongside Burchill on WWE Heat, Lea made her in-ring television debut on the April 28 edition of Raw defeating Super Crazy in an intergender Handicap Match along with Burchill. On May 19, on Raw, she had a confrontation with the Women's Champion, Mickie James where she insinuated James had used her relationship with John Cena to sleep her way to success. Two weeks later, Lea teamed up with Beth Phoenix to defeat James and Melina, in which she pinned James. On June 16, Lea and Burchill defeated James and Mr. Kennedy in a mixed tag team match, where Lea pinned James a second time. She faced James for the title at Night of Champions, but came up short. After she and her brother beat James and Kofi Kingston she received another chance at James' title in August but failed to win. On the last Raw of the year she made her final appearance in a battle royal to determine the next challenger for the Women's Championship, which was ultimately won by Melina. Two days later, on December 30, it was revealed that Lea and Burchill were moved to the ECW brand, but failed to make an impression with Burchill losing to continue DJ Gabriel's winning streak. Going into 2009, Katie made a better impact in her ECW on Sci Fi debut with a win against Gabriel's partner Alicia Fox. However, the Burchills lost a tag team match against Gabriel and Fox the following week. On April 5, 2009 she competed in the 25-Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXV, but the match was won by Santina Marella. Lea wrestled again in July 2009 against the newly drafted Bella Twins. First facing Nikki, Katie took the advantage but Nikki swapped places with her twin sister, fooling both Katie and the referee, causing Katie to lose. Two weeks later on WWE Superstars the twins made the same switch in reverse order after the referee could not differentiate between the two and Lea lost again. From August towards the end of 2009, Paul became embroiled in a rivalry with backstage interviewer Gregory Helms, over whether he was also in-ring performer The Hurricane. They agreed to settle the matter in a match on November 17's ECW, which saw Hurricane's mask put up against Burchill's career on the ECW brand. Despite many attempts, Paul could not secure the pin and subsequently lost the match, resulting in both he and Katie Lea leaving ECW. The following week on ECW, Katie Lea and Paul, now sporting masks and calling themselves The Beautiful Nightmare and The Ripper, respectively, appeared in a backstage segment with General Manager Tiffany and asked for a contract, which Tiffany said they would receive if The Ripper could defeat The Hurricane the next week on ECW. However, The Ripper was unmasked by Hurricane and subsequently defeated in their match, resulting in Katie and Burchill remaining off ECW. On January 11, 2010, Lea moved back to the Raw brand by competing in a first round tournament match for the vacant Divas Championship but lost to Eve Torres. On February 26, Paul was formally released by WWE leaving Katie to appear on her own. She was released from her WWE contract, on April 22, 2010 along with several other wrestlers. As well as wrestling, Waters had a small career in film, directing the British independent film Welcome To Hell and acting in Utopian Pictures' Tough Justice.

She also began modelling for posters and magazines before being approached be a close friend to work as a wrestling valet on the Independent circuit. She and her friend began training together and worked all over the Florida State. Kathy's most prominent time on the independent circuit was in the IWF as Cousin Brandy Mae where she was valet of Hillbilly Cuzin Ray and later The Tennessee Mountain Boys. Their characters were that of "hick" types and were popular with fans. Dingman was hired by Terry Taylor while he still worked for the WWF after she sent videos of herself wrestling and photos into them. She made her debut on the Thanksgiving 1999 edition of Smackdown, after a Gravy Bowl match between Ivory and Jacqueline with Miss Kitty as the referee. Dingman came out to help the distressed Kitty and gave her the Heimlich maneuver to dislodge an object from her throat. Ivory went after the EMT, tore her top open and then threw her into the gravy. The following Monday on Monday Night Raw, Michael Cole introduced Dingman as Barbara Bush, whose friends call her "B.B." She challenged the Women's Champ to an Evening Gown Match. Ivory came to the ring to run down the registered nurse, as Ivory accused her of just trying to win friends with the "perverts" in the audience. The two went at it, with Ivory tearing off BB's shirt. The next week Michael Cole was scheduled to interview BB, but Ivory interrupted the interview saying what BB lacked for brains she made up for in bra size. At Armageddon 1999, BB was the second participate eliminated from the swimming pool match when both Ivory and Miss Kitty stripped her. On December 20 edition on Monday Night Raw, a "Holiday Topless Top-Rope Match" took place; BB was in the corner of Val Venis while Terri was in Hardcore Holly's corner. Unfortunately for BB, Val was tossed twice in the contest, and Triple H was there to make sure that she disrobed as he blocked the crowd's view of BB, making it so that he was the only person to see her topless. Three weeks later Jerry Lawler welcomed BB and the other participants of the Miss Royal Rumble Swimsuit Competition into the ring for an interview. BB told Jerry and the fans she was sure they wanted to see 'bigger'. The King made the joke during the contest that they call him "The Burger King" but B.B. has "the Double Whoppers." The segment quickly ended when Ivory complained, saying that the fans were perverts for wanting to see this type of event. A brawl between the participants quickly ensued. The contest ended with a Mae Young being crowned Miss Royal Rumble. The following Monday, BB was one of the lumberjill in the first Snow Bunny Match between The Kat and Harvey "Hervina" Whippleman. On February 10, Edge and Christian took on the Dudley Boyz. After the match, Bubba appeared to be injured, bringing out the EMTs. It was all a set-up to get BB though a table. This would be her final appearance before her release. Kathy turned up as Papaya in WCW with red hair as the on-screen wife and valet of Kwee Wee. She appeared only twice before disappearing. Later, rumors emerged that her supposed husband Hardcore Holly had told her not to continue working there. In 2002, Cathy appeared in TNA as Taylor Vaughn. She took part in and won the Miss TNA Lingerie Battle Royal, also involving nine other ladies including Francine, Elektra, Shannon Spruill and Alexis Laree. After the match Francine then got back in the ring, and started to whip her with Ed Ferrera's belt. The following week they had a match in which Francine took a leather strap out of her boot and started to whip and choke Taylor with it. Referee Scott Armstrong grabbed it and took it away but Taylor grabbed it from the referee and proceeded to whip and choke Francine with it. The referee tried to stop her, but Taylor hit him too causing her to be disqualified. On the July 31 Don West brought out Miss TNA Taylor Vaughn. As he was about to talk to her, Bruce came out to the ring. Bruce said that he was listening to The Truth earlier and said that he too wants to be treated with respect and wanted to be Miss TNA and Taylor accepted his challenge by hitting him in the groin.

She began competing in All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling (AJW) as a teenager under the ring name Bull Nakano. As a wrestler she was a villain, who often teamed with her mentor Dump Matsumoto. In Japan, she held several of AJW's singles and tag team championships. Nakano's career as a professional wrestler began in All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling (AJW) organization in Japan when she was 15 years old. After winning the AJW Junior Championship at the age of 16 in 1984, her ring name was changed to Bull Nakano. In July 1985, she won the AJW Championship, which she held for the next three years. Meanwhile, she teamed with Dump Matsumoto—who was also her mentor—as a pair of villains. With Matsumoto as her partner, Nakano won the WWWA World Tag Team Championship in August 1986. Nakano and Matsumoto briefly wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation in 1986 against the team of Velvet McIntyre and Dawn Marie Johnston.

After being phased out by the company in the early 1990s, she traveled to North America. Nakano traveled to Mexico in June 1992, where she was a finalist in a 12-woman battle royal and later defeated Lola González to become Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's first World Women's Champion. She lost the title to Xóchitl Hamada in March 1993. She then made her way to the United States and competed for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) once again. Debuting as an associate of Luna Vachon, Nakano competed against the WWF Women's Champion, Alundra Blayze in August 1994 at SummerSlam, but failed to win the title. Nakano, however, eventually defeated Blayze for the title on November 27, 1994 in Tokyo. Nakano held the title for approximately five months, until losing it back to Blayze on the April 3, 1995 episode of Raw. The WWF had planned on bringing in Bertha Faye to feud with Nakano while Blayze got plastic surgery on her nose and breasts, but Nakano was found in possession of cocaine and quickly fired from the company. She also competed in World Championship Wrestling (WCW). In 1995, Nakano also traveled to North Korea, where she was part of the New Japan Pro Wrestling event in Pyongyang that set a record for attendance at a professional wrestling event with 150,000 spectators. At the event, Nakano and Akira Hokuto defeated Manami Toyota and Mariko Yoshida. Later that year, she competed at World Championship Wrestling (WCW)'s World War 3 pay-per-view event, teaming with Akira Hokuto to defeat the team of Cutie Suzuki and Mayumi Ozaki. Nakano—with Sonny Onoo as her manager—continued her feud with Blayze, who was now known as Madusa, at WCW's Hog Wild event in August 1996; Madusa defeated Nakano in the match with the stipulation that she was then allowed to destroy Nakano's motorcycle. In subsequent years, Madusa called Nakano "a good-hearted person" and an "incredible talent", with whom she had some of her best matches. Although she retired from professional wrestling in 1997, Nakano teamed with Dump Matsumoto in wrestling matches in 2001. Nakano became a professional golfer in 1998. In November 2004, Nakano played in the Futures Tour Qualifying Tournament in Florida, but ended the tournament in 250th place of 251. The following year, she ended the tournament in 261st place of 271. As a result, she failed to qualify for the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA). Nakano later qualified for the LPGA and joined the Duramed Futures Tour in January 2006.   KIA STEVENS Real Name: Kia Michelle Stevens Birthday: September 4, 1977 Hometown: Carson, California Marital Status: Single Height & Weight: 5'10" - Trained by: All Japan Women's, Inoki L.S.

She is currently working for Shimmer Women Athletes, National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), and various independent promotions in the United States and Japan. Stevens grew up in Carson, California and has a younger brother. Prior to becoming a professional wrestler, she was employed as a social worker. She also owned a business that put vending machines in several high schools. Stevens's family and friends helped her fund her career in wrestling, when she went to train in Japan. In 2002, Stevens appeared on the Discovery Health Body Challenge as a contestant trying to lose weight in hopes of becoming a professional wrestler. Afterward, Stevens trained at the School of Hard Knocks out of San Bernardino, California. Soon, she was able to have her first professional match in the Empire Wrestling Federation. Stevens continued training in Japan in the women's wrestling promotion, All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling (AJW), debuting as Amazing Kong in October 2002. The ring name was an invention of Masatsugu Matsunaga, who needed a replacement for Japanese female wrestler Aja Kong in several matches. Stevens, as Kong, worked for multiple women's promotions in Japan, and she defeated Ayako Hamada for the WWWA World Heavyweight Championship in late 2004. Later, Stevens cited Hamada as one of her favorite opponents. She also formed a tag team named Double Kong with Aja Kong, and the two women held several tag team championships, including the predominantely male Hustle Super Tag Team Championship, using the ring names Margaret and Erika. In early 2007, Kong also won the AWA Superstars of Wrestling World Women's Champion in Tokyo, Japan. On May 5, 2007, she defeated MsChif for the NWA World Women's Championship, but Kong lost the title back to MsChif approximately one year later. The following month, Kong competed at the IPW:UK produced Chickfight 9, winning an eight-woman tournament. Throughout 2006 and 2007, Kong also competed in nine of the fifteen Shimmer Women Athletes events released on DVD. On October 13, 2007, Kong got her first Shimmer Championship title shot against Sara Del Rey, losing when she did not answer the referee's ten-count. On May 3, 2008 she teamed with Del Rey against Ashley Lane and Nevaeh in a Shimmer Tag Team Championship match, losing by disqualification. On November 8, 2009, at the tapings of Volume 27 Kong and LuFisto went to a double count out so both of them were declared #1 contenders at the Shimmer Championship. Later that same night on Volume 28, Kong suffered her first pinfall loss in Shimmer, after being pinned by MsChif in a 3-way elimination match, which also included LuFisto. Stevens debuted on the October 11, 2007 edition of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA)'s Impact! as a villainous character, defeating Gail Kim. At Bound for Glory, Stevens—billed as Awesome Kong—participated in a 10-Knockout Gauntlet match to crown the first TNA Women's Knockout Champion, but she was eliminated by the combined effort of Angelina Love, ODB and Gail Kim. Two months later at Turning Point, she lost a Women's Knockout Championship match to Kim via disqualification. At Final Resolution in January 2008, Kong was defeated by Kim in a No Disqualification match for the Women's Knockout Championship. Later that week, however, on the January 10 episode of Impact!, Kong defeated Kim to win the Women's Knockout Championship with an unknown woman wearing a burkha accompanying her to the ring, later named Raisha Saeed. At Lockdown, Kong and Saeed teamed up for the first time, losing a tag team match to Kim and ODB. On the May 8 episode of Impact!, Kong issued a $25,000 dollar challenge to any females in the Impact! audience (actually planted wrestlers), defeated her opponents week after week. Kong then defeated challenger Taylor Wilde, who after two unsuccessful attempts, defeated Kong on July 10 to win the $25,000 Challenge and the Women's Knockout Championship. Kong then failed to regain the championship from Wilde during a rematch at Victory Road. On the live October 23 edition of Impact Kong defeated Wilde to become a two-time Knockout Champion. Two weeks later, Rhaka Khan turned on Wilde, who had been her tag team partner, and aligned herself with Kong and Saeed. The alliance of Kong, Saeed, and Khan—with the later addition of Sojourner Bolt—became known as The Kongtourage. At Turning Point, Kong and Saeed were defeated in a tag team match by Wilde and her partner Roxxi. Months later, Bolt and Khan left the Kongtourage when Bolt became the number one contender to Kong's championship. On the March 26 edition of Impact! Kong and Saeed were defeated by The Beautiful People (Angelina Love and Velvet Sky), and after the match The Beautiful People tried to cut Kong's hair. They accomplished the task on the April 16 episode of Impact!, and Kong became a fan favorite by attempting to retaliate. At Lockdown, Kong lost the title to Love in a 3-Way Six Sides of Steel match, which also involved Taylor Wilde. After losing the title, Kong defeated Love's allies Sky, Madison Rayne and Cute Kip in separate Stretcher matches. Love also defeated Kong at their title rematch at Sacrifice. In August 2009 Kong and Saeed entered the tournament to crown the first TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions. In the first round of the tournament, the team was able to defeat The Main Event Mafia (Traci Brooks and Sharmell), after Saeed blind tagged Kong and pinned Brooks, much to Kong's dismay. Three weeks later they were eliminated from the tournament at the hands of the eventual winners of the whole tournament, Taylor Wilde and Sarita, when Wilde pinned Saeed. Subsequently, Kong began rivalries with Tara and Knockout Champion ODB. At Bound for Glory, Saeed inadvertently cost Kong the Knockout Championship while interfering in a match between Kong, Tara, and ODB. On the following edition of Impact! Kong defeated her now former manager and afterwards powerbombed her through the entrance stage. After interfering in two of Tara's matches, Kong and Tara wrestled at Turning Point in a Six Sides of Steel match, which Tara won. On the December 17 edition of Impact! Kong formed a tag team with Hamada as they won a three-way non-title match against The Beautiful People (Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky) and the TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions Taylor Wilde and Sarita, when Kong pinned Rayne. On the January 4, 2010, live, three-hour, Monday night edition of Impact! Kong and Hamada defeated Sarita and Wilde to win the TNA Knockout Tag Team Championship. On January 19, 2010, Bubba the Love Sponge claimed on his radio show that Awesome Kong had legitimately (not apart of a storyline) attacked him, while backstage for the tapings of TNA Impact! the previous day, due to his negative comments concerning the Haiti earthquake relief project. Kong, who had been a driving force in the wrestling community in raising funds for Haiti, was reportedly sent home from the tapings following the altercation. On January 19, 2010, Stevens reportedly asked for her release from TNA. After she refused to take part in TNA's January 2010 tour of the United Kingdom, the company suspended her. The following month, Stevens filed a lawsuit against Bubba for an alleged threatening phone call. She was reportedly released from TNA on March 1, 2010. On the March 8 edition of Impact! Kong and Hamada were stripped of the Knockout Tag Team titles after allegedly failing to defend them in 30 days, even though in fact the team defended the titles just 21 days prior against Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky. TNA later released a statement claiming that Stevens had requested her release due to personal reasons. Stevens later revealed that she had asked for her release due to monetary issues and recent changes to TNA management. She has since worked for Combat Championship Wrestling and Ring of Honor. She is an investor in Nu Skin Enterprises, a line of skin and nutritional products. Stevens is currently dating Dan "Freight Train" Ouellette.

Shortly before she graduated from Auburn University with a degree in public relations and journalism in 1990, Kimberly met Page Falkinburg (Diamond Dallas Page) at his Florida nightclub the following year, and started dating shortly after. Falkinburg was then a manager in World Championship Wrestling, while Kimberly graduated with a master's degree in advertising from Northwestern University in 1991 and worked in the industry for a brief time before joining him in the wrestling business. She appeared with actor Sebastian Siegel on the covers of both Physical (January 2003) and Iron Man (November 2003). Her first WCW television appearance was as one of Page's The Diamond Dolls. The couple married on December 1, 1991, and she did not make any more appearances on WCW television until 1994, when she became Page's regular valet. Before then, she worked as a public relations coordinator, account executive, aerobics instructor and as a waitress.[citation needed] Page was engaged in a feud with Dave Sullivan, who objected to how Page treated her. Page won that feud but ended up losing Kimberly in a match to Johnny B. Badd in 1995. Johnny promptly freed her and she became his valet, simply going by the name of Kimberly. After Mero departed for the Worls Wrestling Federation, she became The Booty Babe for The Booty Man, who had recently shed his "Zodiac" gimmick and left the Dungeon of Doom. The gimmick lasted until late 1996. Kimberly did not appear on WCW programming again until a March 1997's Uncensored, when she rejoined Page (now a face after having refused to join the New World Order) as part of his feud with "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who had interrupted a Gene Okerlund interview with Page. Miss Elizabeth then flashed an NWO-defaced centerfold of Kimberly from the 1997 edition of Playboy's Nude Celebrities, after which Kimberly herself appeared from backstage having been spray painted off-screen by the NWO. The segment was also the first public revelation of Page and Kimberly being an actual married couple. After the Page/Savage feud ended, Kimberly formed the Nitro Girls in July. They danced during breaks on WCW Monday Nitro to entertain the fans. The Nitro Girls were given their own official website, while she and several members appeared in a non-nude pictorial in the September 1998 issue of Penthouse, and filmed a 1999 pay-per-view. In February 1999, Kimberly became involved in an angle in which she was being stalked by Scott Steiner, which culminated in Page attacking Steiner in the arena parking garage on the February 8 episode of WCW Monday Nitro as Steiner followed her to her car; Steiner then stole the car with Kim inside, and attempted to run over Page in the garage. He then threw Kimberly (actually a stunt-woman) from the car, and she was later taken away in an ambulance. Following the end of the angle, Kimberly departed the Nitro Girls later that year and again accompanied Page to the ring as his valet, then took part in a match against David Flair at Mayhem on November 21. In 2000, she turned on Page to join Vince Russo and Eric Bischoff's New Blood stable. In the storyline, she decided it was "all about me" instead of Page, and it was hinted she was romantically involved with Bischoff. She had small feuds with Miss Elizabeth and Miss Hancock, and was also briefly paired with Mike Awesome, before her departure from WCW that year. Page and Kimberly amicably separated in July 2004, then divorced in 2005. While living in Atlanta, Kimberly took acting jobs at the Alliance Theatre, then moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting as a career. Her first film role was a deleted scene in 2001's Rat Race that was included in the DVD extras, and her first starring role was in 2004's The Scam Artist, in which Page also appeared. Kimberly played Catwoman in the 2004 short fan film Grayson, in 2005, she appeared on CSI: Miami as Horatio Caine's murdered girlfriend in the episode "Under Suspicion."

According to the storyline, Raven used her to replace Beulah McGillicutty, his former girlfriend and valet, who had announced that she was pregnant with Tommy Dreamer's child on January 7 at ECW's House Party pay-per-view event. On April 20, 1996 at Hostile City Showdown, Shane Douglas, with Kimona by his side, called out Dreamer to inform him that Beulah had been cheating on him.
