Before TNA, she wrestled for Deep South Wrestling (DSW), Japan's Pro Wrestling ZERO1-MAX (as Panther Claw), Full Impact Pro, Women's Extreme Wrestling (as Black Barbie), Professional Girl Wrestling Association (as Naomi Banks) and NWA Great Championship Wrestling.

Before TNA, Sarah Stock wrestled for Top Rope Championship Wrestling, Can-Am Wrestling, Real Action Wrestling, Main Stream Wrestling, Afa Anoa'i's World Xtreme Wrestling (WXW), Hybrid Wrestling Coalition, Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling, Monster Pro Wrestling and Premier Championship Wrestling.

She went to Mexico, donned a mask and became the very popular "Dark Angel".
While in Mexico she wrestled for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Federación Internacional de Lucha Libre and Lucha Libre Feminil.

Before TNA, Josette Bynum worked for Ohio Valley Wrestling, 3X Wrestling, Midwest Intensity Wrestling, NWA Midwest, World League Wrestling, Impact Zone Wrestling, Shimmer and Ring of Honor and I'm sure I missed a few.

I'm sure I dont have to tell you much about Lisa Marie Varon's background.
Of course she was Victoria in the WWE and started wrestling in June of 2000.
But before that she was a fitness and figure competitor, competeing in several major contests like the Debbie Kruck Fitness Classic, the ESPN2 Fitness America Series, the Lifequest Triple Crown, the National Physique Committee's Inland Empire and Team Universe competitions and the 1998 Ironwoman Tri-Fitness.
And NOW she wants to get into MMA.
