Female Wrestlers Before They Were Stars, Part 4

Now for the last three female wrestlers from the TNA Knockout roster......


Taylor Wilde
Shantelle Malawski started wrestling in June 2003.
Before TNA, she was featured in the two-part wrestling documentary, Slam Bam, which aired on the Discovery Channel.
Taylor wrestled for New Vision Pro Wrestling, she did a a three-show tour of South Africa, she wrestled in Monterrey, Mexico, Shimmer Women Athletes, Ring Divas' Battle Angels, Twin Wrestling Entertainment, Blood Sweat and Ears, Deep South Wrestling, Women Superstars Uncensored and Pure Wrestling Association in Southern Ontario.


Traci Brooks
Tracy Brookshaw had a long career in wrestling before TNA.
She made her pro wrestling debut in January 2001 as "Tracy Brooks".
Traci has wrestled for Border City Wrestling, the Apocalypse Wrestling Federation (where she had a feud with Gail Kim who was then billed as La Felina), Blood Sweat and Ears, NWA Cyberspace, 3X Wrestling, All Star Championship Wrestling, Coastal Championship Wrestling, Downsouth Championship Wrestling, Great Lakes Championship Wrestling, New Ohio Championship Wrestling, Southern Championship Wrestling and World Xtreme Wrestling.


Velvet Sky
Jamie Szantyr has wrestled under the names Velvet Sky (for TNA), Talia Madison, Miss Talia, Talia Doll and Talia.
Even though this young lady might look like a model, she has wrestled for Defiant Pro Wrestling, Georgia Wrestling Alliance, TNT Pro Wrestling, Universal Wrestling Association, Women's Extreme Wrestling and World Xtreme Wrestling besides TNA.
Plus she has held five womens wrestling titles and one tag team title.

So why did I do this?
To show the lack of depth in the WWE Diva roster as opposed to the TNA Knockout roster?
Yeah, a little.
It annoys me that with so much talent out there, the biggest company in wrestling feels like it needs to pull in models and dancers to fill it's ranks.

But it's also to show you that when you go out to these indy wrestling promotions and watch these ladies performing, you may be seeing the female wrestling superstars of tomorrow.
I cannot stress enough how much these young ladies put on the line every week just to do what they love, and give the people a good show.
Their lineage goes back to Mildred Burke, June Byers and the other great pioneers of women's wrestling.

Jaime Dauncey is a Canadian professional wrestler, better known by her ring name, "The One and Only" Jamie D. Currently employed by Border City Wrestling, Dauncey is perhaps best known for her appearances with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in 2006 as Sirelda.

Dauncey trained under Scott D'Amore, Joe E. Legend and Petey Williams at D'Amore's Can-Am Wrestling School in. She debuted in 2004 in D'Amore's Border City Wrestling promotion under the ring name Jamie D..

On October 16, 2004 on Atlanta, Georgia, Dauncey took part in the "Gut Check Challenge", a talent recruitment event organized by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in conjunction with TrimSpa as part of the Show of Strength Pro Championship weekend. The event saw entrants rated on the basis of their performance in five categories: "back bump", "mat techniques", "ring interviews", "running the ropes" and "squat challenge". The female and male events were won by Dauncey and Jon Bolen respectively, with Dauncey and Bolen rewarded with a $4,000 USD cash prize and a subsequent appearance on TNA programming. In 2005, Dauncey attended the TNA pay-per-view Bound For Glory 2005, and TNA announced that she had been signed to a developmental deal.

Dauncey returned to TNA programming on June 18, 2006 at TNA Slammiversary 2006, helping A.J. Styles and Christopher Daniels defeat America's Most Wanted for the NWA World Tag Team Championship by chokeslamming and then carrying away Gail Kim, the manager of America's Most Wanted and a perennial distraction to their opponents. She continued in her role as "neutralizer" on the subsequent episode of TNA iMPACT!, preventing Simon Diamond from interfering in a match between Styles and Daniels and The Diamonds in the Rough. During this time she was not referred to by name, with Jim Cornette referring to her as "that big Amazon woman". Her name was later revealed to be Sirelda during a video package on TNA's website.

At TNA Victory Road 2006, Dauncey, Styles and Daniels defeated America's Most Wanted and Kim in a six person tag team match to retain the NWA World Tag Team Championship. After losing to Kim in a singles bout at TNA Hard Justice 2006, Dauncey left the promotion. She returned two months later at TNA Bound for Glory 2006 as an entrant in the "Kevin Nash Open Invitational X Division Gauntlet Battle Royal" where she was quickly eliminated by A-1 after a brief flurry of offense.

Jamie is now also wrestling for Pro Wrestling Xtreme and Twins Wrestling Entertainment.
