[edit] Career

[edit] Midlands Professional Wrestling

Jetta started her career at the Midlands Professional Wrestling (MPW) training school near where she lived, in her hometown of Coventry. She showed little interest in wrestling until late '90s wrestling boom in America.[2] She trained under the tutelage of NWA UK Hammerlock veteran Majik.[1] Jetta wrestled many matches for MPW, eventually establishing herself as one their most talented performers, mixing it up with both the male and female wrestlers. Although she denies having any influences, having started wrestling so late, she admires World Wrestling Entertainment's Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan, as well as British talent Dynamite Kid and World Association of Wrestling's Ricky Knight and Sweet Saraya.[2] Her career was temporarily impeded in July 2005 when she broke both forearms and had to have metal plates inserted, stopping her wrestling for the rest of the year.[1][2]

[edit] LDN Wrestling

Jetta made her television debut on LDN Wrestling in a match against "The Jezebel" Eden Black who she would fight across various promotions in the next few years. The match took place at Caesar’s Beatings on 15 July 2006, in Jezebel's hometown of Romford. Black managed to pick up the victory which did nothing but anger Jetta, who swiftly demanded a rematch.[4] Jetta had her wish on the televised 10 September 2006 show but she was beaten once again by her rival.[4] Jetta had to wait until Born to be Wyld in November before she could proclaim victory over Eden Black, in a fatal four way elimination match including Skye and Violet.[4] The feud grew into a scheduled mixed tag match at the LDN Anniversary Show including Jetta's manager John Chapman, however the match went to a no contest after Black's partner, JP Monroe, turned on her nine minutes into the match.[4] Skye reclaimed victory from the fatal-four way the following year in a singles match on 14 April.[4] As well taking on, and defeating, male opponent Stevie Lee,[4] Jetta has made a guest appearance commentating for the Capital TV programme.[5]

[edit] SHIMMER Women Athletes

In what was probably Jetta's biggest match to date, she put her long standing issues with Eden Black aside and both women represented the United Kingdom in a SHIMMER guest match, for Ring of Honor. The match took place on 4 March 2007 at ROH's "Fifth Year Festival Finale" in Liverpool, during their tour of the United Kingdom. Jetta and Jezebel were defeated by United States representatives, Sara Del Ray and Allison Danger, but still managed to show a strong effort against the experienced duo.[6] Jetta would return to the promotion across the pond making her SHIMMER video debut in Berwyn, Illinois, as part of Volume 15 & 16, recorded on 13 October 2007. Volume 15 saw Jetta defeat Serena Deeb, but on Volume 16 she fought alongside The Home Wreckers (Lacey & Rain), wrestling as the International Homewrecking Crew, taking the pin from Daizee Haze who had teamed up with "The Jezebel" Eden Black and MsChif,[7] who she had defeated in England earlier in the year.

[edit] Real Quality Wrestling

Her match against MsChif took place in the umbrella promotion Real Quality Wrestling (RQW) on 20 April 2007 in a tag team contest that saw two feuds collide. Jetta teamed with Cheerleader Melissa to take on their respective rivals "The Jezebel" Eden Black and MsChif in a winning effort.[8] Later on that year, on 16 June, Jetta attempted to gain RQW gold from her nemesis in a four-way elimination match, also including Amazing Kong and Wesna that ultimately saw Wesna pick up the victory, winning the title from Eden Black.[9] Jetta made a further attempt for the RQW Women's Championship in December by making a backstage assault on Eden Black at Not Just For Christmas, sending a message to champion Wesna and demanding a title shot.[10] The match, refereed by Sweet Saraya at No Pain, No Gain the following month came to an abrupt end when Jetta walked out, resulting in a count out, due to a legitimate injury that caused her to collapse afterwards.[11]

[edit] ChickFight

Jetta made her ChickFight debut at the Liquid Nightclub in Gloucester on 22 April 2007, at ChickFight 8. In the first round Jetta won a bout with fellow LDN alumnus Skye, but she fell to SHIMMER rival MsChif in the semi finals.[12] Chickfight 9: Our Final Chance took place on 17 July 2007, at the Orpington Halls in Orpington, Kent, otherwise known as the home of IPW:UK. Jetta was eliminated from the tournament in the first round by Blue Nikita.[12][13]

Despite, or perhaps because of this loss, she is fast becoming the premiere heel of the promotion. At the next event, ChickFight 9.5, she berated the Skegness crowd before viciously defeating Skye in two straight falls. Before the night was over she cost Eden Black her contest with Wesna due to interference, leading to a hastily scheduled match between the pair which quickly degenerated into a ringside brawl before Jetta screwed Black, pinning her using the ropes. To top off an already mischievous evening, Jetta then reported Cheerleader Melissa, who was on already on a warning, to the CF management leading to her suspension.[14] She continued to interfere in others' business at the 4 May 2008 CF taping; she came to the ring after Melissa and Wesna's fight, defending the losing Wesna claiming company bias due to Melissa's new television fame (Wesna returned the favour by interrupting Jetta vs Melissa, saving Jetta from the Kudo Driver)[15] and later, as Black was announcing her retirement due to a severe shoulder injury, Jetta interrupted and cut a promo demanding The Jezebel recognise Jetta as the real reason she was retiring, this resulted in the two being booked for the main event on the 3 August ChickFight card.[16]
