Victoria (Vicky) Swain is an English female professional wrestler best known by her ring name Vicky Skye, often shortened to Skye. Still early in her career, at the age of 19, she is in the top ten women wrestlers in the United Kingdom. She is also a qualified fitness instructor.

Skye describes her gimmick in wrestling as "No-nonsense, sweet yet very tough girl with a wild streak." Skye works a mixed style of wrestling, as she has been taught in the British old-school style, however she is known to mix this up with new school, and high flying styles. Skye's ring gear is often blue, but she previously wrestled in a school girl costume.

[edit] Career

Swain would be first trained in the Dropkixx academy before debuting in 2002 under her own name and for a short-time Minx. However, Swain would quickly adopt the name Vicky Skye which was later shortened to Skye and ring name she has continued to used through out her independent circuit tours of the United Kingdom and Europe.

A year after first competing in a wrestling ring, Skye would be given a chance to perform in a tryout match for American promotion World Wrestling Entertainment during a European tour, Insurrextion 2003. Though unsuccessful in gaining a contract she would be invited back to the states to train with Chris Beniot, Dave Taylor, William Regal, and Bryan Danielson in Atlanta during the end of 2003 into 2004.

Back in Europe, Skye would continue to compete on the independent cicuit teaming with male wrestler Ashe as well as facing off against top British female talent, Jennidee, Erin Angel, Ashley Page, and most notably Nikita. Skye would feud with Nikita all over Europe in unsuccessful attempts to take Nikita's Queens of Chaos title.
