Miklosi was trained by Homicide and began her career under the ring name Miss Led with the Long Island Wrestling Federation and spent her time honing her skills all over the Northeast independent circuit. She also appeared in numerous other independent wrestling promotions, managing multiple wrestlers and feuding with multiple others. In Jersey All Pro Wrestling, she managed Dixie and had her first professional match against April Hunter. Mikosi also managed Nick Berk and Z-Barr in Liberty All-Star Wrestling in Philadelphia and NWA Florida. Miklosi also had a career long feud with Alexis Laree. The two faced each other up and down the East Coast in KAPOW!, Southern Championship Wrestling, and Dangerous Women of Wrestling. Miklosi has also teamed with the Ballard Brothers in various promotions. She even toured Alaska and wrestled matches for the troops in the Middle East. And as J-Love, she feuded with Pogo the Clown in Xtreme Pro Wrestling. In one match, Elizabeth flipped Tracy Brooks down to the mat by the hair.
Miklosi also had a brief stint as a TNA Knockout in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. She first competed as JV Love on TNA Xplosion in a match against Tracy Brooks[4][5]. She was then repackaged as a new character named Cheerleader Valentina and replaced Brooks as the partner of Nurse Veronica (Veronica Stevens) in the all-female stable known as Bitchslap. In their first appearance together,they attacked the TNA cage dancers during a dance routine, but were separated by TNA security.[6] A match was finally scheduled between Bitchslap (Stevens and Miklosi) and the TNA cage dancers (April Pennington and Lollipop). However, before the match could fully start it was interrupted by Trinity, who revealed herself as the newest member of Bitchslap and attacked Pennington and Lollipop.[7] The TNA cage dancers retaliated against Bitchslap the following week. They summoned Bitchslap to the ring; however, Trinity forced Stevens and Miklosi into the ring to fight the cage dancers. Pennington and Lollipop attacked Stevens and Miklosi with leather straps until they fled up the entrance ramp to rejoin Trinity.[8][9]
The storyline with Bitchslap was then dropped because TNA didn't have enough female wrestlers to compete against the group,[10] and Stevens turned down a two-year contract with TNA, instead attempting to sign with either WWE or a company in Japan.[11] Brooks and Trinity were then placed into other storylines and TNA stopped booking Miklosi.
After her time with TNA, Miklosi debuted for Ultimate Pro Wrestling in California and began managing Pro Wrestling Guerrilla heavyweight champion Adam Pearce. Miklosi then auditioned for the 2005 Diva Search held by World Wrestling Entertainment; however, she was not selected as a finalist.[12]
In 2006, Miklosi performed in the short-lived MTV wrestling series Wrestling Society X under the ring name Lizzy Valentine as a valet and girlfriend for Matt Sydal.
Miklosi came to Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) along with Juventud Guerrera, whom she started managing in the Mexican independent wrestling scene. Their stay, however, was a short one. She left the promotion in March 2009 after witnessing an incident in a locker room. According to an interview with Guerrera, the incident involved him finding his bag with human feces in it. He believed Konnan was responsible. Jack Evans attacked Juventud from behind, after he was hit by both of them, resulting in Guerrera's nose being broken.[13][14]
In early 2009 Miklosi took part in the first season tapings of Wrestlicious, where she performed under the ring name Kandi Kisses.[2] The show premiered on March 1, 2010. She debuted in the first episode, lip syncing to a song in front of the crowd.[15] She made her in-ring debut on the sixth episode, losing to Lil Slamm.[16]
Lizzy worked a Bra & Panties Match for Xtreme Pro Wrestling in August 2009. Monica Massaro beat her in the match by stripping Valentine to her bra and thong. The loser had to go topless; however, Lizzy called out a girl from the audience who went topless for her.
On December 21, 2009, at the tapings of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's Impact! television show Valentine defeated Amber O'Neal in a tryout dark match.[17]
Lizzy now appears on Lucha Libre USA as Lizzy Valentine Carter.
When Miklosi is not wrestling, she works as a model. She has recently begun acting and has had a small part in Nip/Tuck.
