Professional wrestling career

Thatcher won a contest to receive formal training at a professional wrestling school, called the SAW, in New Jersey.[3] While there, she was trained by Corvis Fear, The Soul Brothers and Skinhead Ivan.[3] After that school closed down, she began training at another school in New Jersey, the AWA, where she was trained by Fear and Jay Lethal, as well as others.[3]

After debuting in 2005, Thatcher appeared for a multitude of independent promotions.[1] In 2006, she wrestled for World Women's Wrestling, Jersey All Pro Wrestling (JAPW) and the East Coast Pro Wrestling (ECPW), competing against wrestlers including Mercedes Martinez, Alicia and Synndy.[4] On October 6 of that year, she won the National Wrestling Superstars Women's J-Cup.[5] She defeated Princess Jana and Alicia to make it into the final, where she defeated Martinez.[5] Thatcher finished out the year continuing to wrestle for JAPW and ECPW.[4][6]

In 2007, Thatcher began wrestling for Ring of Honor (ROH) and Shimmer Women Athletes.[4] She made her ROH debut on February 16 at Fifth Year Festival: NYC, teaming with Daizee Haze in a loss to Sara Del Rey and Allison Danger.[7] After losing to Haze at a JAPW event on March 17, she began competing for Shimmer in April.[4][8] At the DVD tapings for Volumes 9 and 10, Thatcher lost to Ariel, and competed in a four-way match, which was won by Rain, and also involved Malia Hosaka and Josie respectively.[9][10] She returned at the Volume 12 taping on June 2, where she was attacked by Alicia, during an interview with Becky Bayless.[4] In July, Thatcher began competing for Women Superstars Uncensored (WSU), taking on Nikki Roxx, and Alere Little Feather.[11][12] On August 17, Thatcher won the WSU Championship by defeating Alicia.[13] She held the title for just one day, before dropping it back to Alicia.[13] In September, she began a feud with Cindy Rogers, having two matches end in a draw.[14][15] She returned to Shimmer in October, at the tpaings for Volumes 15 and 16, losing to Cheerleader Melissa, but defeating Ashley Lane.[16][17] In November 2007 she wrestled two matches for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling under the name "Alexa Jade", losing to both Gail Kim and Awesome Kong.[4][18][19] Her last appearance of 2007 were for WSU, where she wrestled for the WSU Championship, but was unsuccessful.[20]

In January 2008, Thatcher returned to ROH, losing first to Daizee Haze in a singles match at Proving Ground, before she and Ernie Osiris lost a mixed tag team match to Chris Hero and Sara Del Rey at Transform.[21][22] Throughout the rest of 2008, she continued to compete for WSU and American Championship Entertainment.[4] This was until she retired from wrestling in June for personal reasons, pulling off of any scheduled shows.

On May 8, 2010, Alexa Thatcher appeared on a Pro Wrestling Syndicate show with former Reality Check partner, Kevin Matthews, managing him to a PWS World Championship win against Butterbean. The PWS website hints that a stable of Alexa Thatcher, Kevin Matthews, Velvet Sky, Devon Moore, and Danny Demanto, as Reality Check, will continue to reign as PWS continues to run shows.

Personal life

Thatcher watched wrestling growing up, and is a fan of Trish Stratus and Christian.[3] Thatcher is dating fellow professional wrestler, Corvis Fear, whom she met when she was sixteen.[3] Although she had been a fan of wrestling, it wasn't until she met Fear that she thought that she could realistically accomplish becoming a professional wrestler.[3] Fear later helped to train her.[3]
