Will dress up in dresses/skirts for going out or signings. She prefers boots over sneakers, but will wear sneakers if the situation calls for it.

WRESTLING INFORMATION
Wrestling Style: technical/high flying
Alignment: Face
Years Pro: 18
Finishers:
Tourniquet - Anaconda Vice - very tenacious/tight grip, will not release until the opponent taps/passes out, or told to do so by the ref due to rope break. Even then she'll get close to the 5 count.
BlackOut - With the opponent dazed, but on their feet, Amy will climb the turnbuckles to the top rope, face the ring, and leap. Grabbing their head, she will flip with a DDT, planting their head into the mat. (think Ember Moon/Athena's Eclipse, only head to the mat instead of stunner-like; less pop-up from the opponent, they just drop)
This can be done from the top rope itself in a springboard maneuver when she needs a quick/surprise finish, and also from the tops of ladders, cages, anything high up in specialty matches.
Signature Moves:
Lightning Strike – superkick
Vortex – twist of fate
Event Horizon - Gory Special into neckbreaker - AKA Widow's Peak (could end a match)

Corner moves:
choke with foot
shoulder block to the gut
elbows
running facewash
Style:
-Has started to go more technical and less flying due to her bad knee, but will go more high risk if she deems it necessary. Depends on her opponent and the match type. She will try to match her style to the opponent as best as she can to counter their style.
-HIGHLY unlikely to use any kind of underhanded/cheap shot/cheating tactic. Goes back to the honor thing. May do so rarely against a big rival; would have to be someone she hates who has previously betrayed/disrespected her and doing so would be a form of retribution.
However if the match is a no DQ match type, all bets are off. If there are no rules, she will go all out if necessary.
-Easily angered by anything she feels is disrespectful, to either herself, a championship, or people she cares about.
Strengths:
-quickness and ring awareness helps her against opponents larger than her
- well-conditioned cardio-wise, great endurance
-not easily fooled by mindgames, lies, BS (she has a degree in Psychology)
-quick witted
-strong sense of right vs wrong, loyalty, etc
Weaknesses:
-can attempt certain moves on people she isn't strong enough to lift them for (although if angry she can get it done, see next item lol)
-short temper
-tendency to take things too personally
-that sense of right vs wrong and loyalty can sometimes lead her to defend others to her detriment, especially people she cares about
- complete reconstruction of the left knee (previous injury: ruptured patellar tendon, fractured patella, multiple hyper-extentions). Will bother her if attacked viciously. If that happens, makes it difficult to launch the BlackOut. May try anyway (desperation maneuver), 50/50 to fail. Will use her technical/submission game instead.
-------------------------------
Character note for segments: Amy will never use the locker room showers, and will try her best to stay away from them period (like not poking her head in just to talk to someone). She was attacked/raped in them at MSG for an HVW PPV in 2008 and has avoided them ever since.
-------------------------------
Entrance:
Blue and white lights flash in time with the music and the words up on the Tron:
"Tear me down, it won't build you up"
Amy Chastaine comes through the curtain just as the tempo of New Years Day's "Relentless" picks up with the chorus, the lights flashing to keep up. With one hand she flips her hair out of her face, with a confident grin, gazing out at the cheering crowd.
"Never gonna stop
Won't quit till I'm not breathing
Chase me all you want
It won't be enough"
Amy starts down the ramp, greeting and touching hands with a few fans along the way.
Phillips: "Making her way to the ring, from New Orleans, LA... Amy Chastaine!"
"Never gonna stop
Even if these wounds keep bleeding
I'm not giving up
It won't be enough"
The music continues as she gets into the ring. Amy hops up on the apron, and enters the ring between the bottom and middle ropes. She goes to the corner near the ring steps, and hops up on the middle ropes, one hand in the air overhead, and the other on her hip, posing for the cheering fans. She hops down and runs to the opposite corner, doing the same pose. Amy then hops down as the music fades out and the lights return to normal.
(Note: Less corner posing if its a heated/feud match, more staring her opponent down.)

Biography:
Amy Chastaine made her professional wrestling debut on January 30th, 2005, with the now-defunct WOF. This was the new start she had been looking for after leaving her abusive ex-husband, taking her daughter with her. She trained for a few years with two friends from high school, brothers Heath and Wyatt Lancaster. First in a self-defense class led by Wyatt, then in wrestling school led by Heath. After her debut, Amy won her first title, the WOF Alternative Championship, in a 4 Corners of Hell match in which she defeaded Joshua Gytrike, which was just her 4th professional match. She went on to capture the WOF Trans-Atlantic Championship from Grave Digger, who immediately kidnapped her and held her captive for two weeks. During this time, he convinced – some would say brainwashed – her into believing her then-boyfriend Wyatt and their daughter had left her behind, and that her only choice was to join his Dark Army. For the next year, Amy did just that, fighting at Grave Digger's side, running roughshod over the WOF roster. Shortly after Amy joined Grave Digger, they went on to add another person to the Dark Army, Dustin Diablo.In January of 2006, there was a split in the company, with WOF being taken over by one of the shareholders, and a new company, HVW, being created in the aftermath. This new company would be owned and operated by the very man who trained Amy, her high school best friend Heath Lancaster. Amy's Trans-Atlantic Championship was renamed the International Championship, which she held until May 2006, losing to Sakura Hyotei.
Amy and Dustin would grow tired of taking orders from Grave Digger, who was the HVW World Champion. In July of 2006, they turned on him in the middle of a six-man tag match, and Amy demanded, and was given, a shot at the World Championship. She failed, and was out of action for a few weeks with a neck injury, and very nearly did not return to the ring. But with encouragement from Dustin – who she had begun dating – and from fans, she did go back, and demanded a rematch. It was granted, and on 10-15-06, Amy became HVW World Champion, defeating Grave Digger in a First Blood match. She held that title for 7 months, losing to “Wildcat” Lynn Brewster in May of 2007. During this time, she also worked in FTWO, and in May of 2007 she defeated Michael Black to reclaim the Trans-Atlantic Championship that she had never lost when HVW split from WOF. She held that title for only a month before she had to vacate it, right after losing the HVW World Championship, as she was forced to take a leave of absence from the ring, due to a surprise pregnancy.
Amy gave birth to her son in January of 2008, and returned to the ring in March. Amy spent her time slowly getting back into the shape she was in pre-pregnancy, and did some work in the Women's division, as well as the tag division, forming a short-lived group called Synergy, along with Dustin Diablo, Blood Reign, and Odin Knyght. In May of 2008, she and Diablo were married. Shortly after, while at the Mistakes & Glories HVW PPV event at Madison Square Garden, Amy was attacked and raped by an unknown assailant in the locker room showers. Her attacker was eventually revealed to be a member of the roster, Rick Adams, and the attack had been set up by Diablo's twin sister Elektra Langton. But before Adams could be arrested and brought up on charges, both Adams and Elektra fled, and have never been found. To this day Amy avoids locker room showers in any arena.
In October of 2008, tragedy struck when the owner of HVW and Amy's best friend, Heath Lancaster, was killed by a drunk driver. In his will, the ownership of HVW was left to Amy. She put the company on hiatus until January 2009 to work out legalities and deal with the grief. On the reopening of HVW, Amy decided to step back from the ring to focus on running the company. But not ready to retire, she went back to FTWO, with the intention of recapturing the Trans-Atlantic Championship, that once again, she never lost. In August of 2009, she branched out further by signing with the company that had been HVW's biggest competition, VWA. In VWA, Amy rose quickly through the Women's division (as then VWA did not allow women to vie for every championship, and had very few intergender matches), and on 6-11-10, she became VWA Women's Champion, defeating Black Rose. In the meantime,back in FTWO she failed to recapture the Trans-Atlantic Championship, losing to Cam Davitt on 6-15-09.
Due to a struggling roster and other behind the scenes issues, FTWO closed in 2009, merging with HVW. This left Amy with a larger roster to handle as owner of HVW, and once again only actively competing in one company. In December of 2009, Diablo was on tap to join Amy in VWA, where they planned on entering the Tag division, breaking VWA's tradition of keeping men and women separate. But that never happened, as the night Diablo was supposed to debut, doing a run in to help Amy in her match, he never showed up. The resulting argument led to Amy and Diablo's split and divorce.
In February of 2010, after a year of running HVW and many disagreements with the members of the board, and also with the roster, Amy decided that the company had run its course and ceased operations. HVW's last show was held on 2-1-10. This left Amy with just VWA to concentrate on. Having lost many things important to her so closely together, Amy became bitter and selfish, much to the fans' distaste.She continued in VWA for another year, holding the Women's Championship for 6 months, losing it to Natalie Burrows (now Bateman) on 12-19-10. During this time, she struck up an unlikely friendship with fan-favorite Andrew Raynes, trading witty cheap shots that turned into flirty banter. In February 2011, VWA also closed its doors. Amy took this as a sign that it was time to hang up her boots after a storied and successful career. She went back to college and finished her degree in Psychology. She also became active at her local gym, doing some personal training, and a bit of wrestling training. During this time she kept up with Raynes for a while, until an argument that left them both too angry to call the other and try to work it out.
In July of 2014, Amy received a letter in the mail from VWA – they were reopening and wanted her to return. It didn't take long for her to agree to come out of retirement, especially since VWA had done a complete turn around in its policies, and were now allowing all competitors- men and women- to vie for all championships. With thoughts of becoming a World Champion again, Amy signed her VWA contract and returned to the ring for the first time in over three years on 8-31-14. Then, on 2-15-15, Amy won the 7th Circle of Hell match (Elimination Chamber + I Quit) became the VWA High Voltage Champion, becoming the first female to win said match, and also the first female in VWA to hold a major title other than the Women's Championship. During this time she reconnected with Andrew Raynes, after randomly running into him while on a short vacation trip. They soon rekindled their relationship, and became an official couple over Christmas 2014. However, just before Thanksgiving 2015 Amy broke up with him, after a few months of lack of communication and bickering. She did not been take it well and developed a fondness for alcohol.
On February 3rd 2016, Amy faced and defeated Dylan Howell in her hometown of New Orleans, but Howell attacked and injured her previously injured left knee after the match. She was given medication for the pain, and she took them when she got home, along with her usual stiff drink. The combination led to an accidental hydrocodone overdose. Amy was found unconscious the next morning by her daughter's father, Wyatt, and rushed to the hospital. Following the near-death incident, Amy vowed to stop drinking, and began seeing a therapist, as well as a pagan-based addiction support group.
On March 6th, 2016 at Retribution, Amy did what few thought she was capable of and defeated Regan Street to become the SCW World Champion, one month shy of a full year after signing with SCW. She successfully defended the title at Breakdown on March 30th in a rematch against Regan, marking the 3rd win over her and breaking Regan's 4-year streak of never losing on Breakdown. The following week, April 6th, on Breakdown, Amy fought a grueling near-40 minute match against Syren in her second defense, and was defeated.
Soon after losing the World Championship, Amy struck up an unlikely friendship with David Miller, a polarizing figure well known to SCW. She'd heard stories and rumors about his history, but never one to judge, she largely brushed it off, deciding to find out for herself. Their 'relationship' (as it was never really official) was brief, fiery, and ended tumultuously when she finally found out the truth behind the rumors.
August 2016 would be a very eventful month for Amy, as on August 4th, VWA announced they were ceasing operations, just one day before a scheduled show, Rapture. Amy had been pushing for a World Championship match, and with the closing not only was she losing her home company but also the chance to become it's champion, which is what she came out of retirement for. However, days later, a match she had scheduled at a final VWA house show (which they were contractually obligated to hold) was turned into a World Championship match. With this final opportunity, Amy threw herself into preparations. In the meantime, in SCW Amy defeated Shilo Valiant on the 24th to become the Television Champion. Days later, on the 28th, Amy fought in that last VWA match, a Hell in a Cell, against the champion William Hush and another challenger, Kaji Fireson, and walked away as the final VWA World Champion.
In between those 4 days Amy had ended her relationship with Miller, after a few arguments about her prying into his past. After one backstage the same night she won the TV Title, he'd taken a swing at her, and for her that was the line that couldn't be uncrossed. The morning of the 28th, before her HIAC match, news broke of his death. Amy couldn't help but blame herself, and the entire situation sent her back to bottle at one point, and also back to her therapist.
One bright spot was that after VWA's closing, Amy's friend Kara Abheri needed somewhere to go, having grown tired of staying in a Chicago hotel suite, and Amy offered Kara and her daughter a place in her home. Kara happily accepted and the two friends vowed to help keep each other strong while making sure their kids were well cared for.
At the end of 2016, Amy became the SCW United States Champion after defeating Finnegan Piper, a hand-picked proxy by Vixen Cain, who was deemed unable to compete. Amy also was placed into the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament, and after only losing one match in the round robin portion, she went on to defeat Donovan Kayl in the semis and AJ Helms in the finals to become the 2017 Shot of Adrenaline winner.
During this time, Amy also renewed her relationship with Wyatt, and in February of 2017 they were married.
After only losing one match in 2017 (to Tyler Tucker in the Shot of Adrenaline tournament) Amy lost the US Championship to the same man, also breaking an 11-match win streak, at Broken Beliefs in April. The following Breakdown, Amy faced Adrenaline Champion Christy Matthews in a Submission Match, the stipulation chosen by Amy as part of her reward for winning Shot of Adrenaline. In the match, Amy caused Christy to pass out with the Tourniquet, earning her the Adrenaline Championship.

Biography:
Amy Chastaine made her professional wrestling debut on January 30th, 2005, with the now-defunct WOF. This was the new start she had been looking for after leaving her abusive ex-husband, taking her daughter with her. She trained for a few years with two friends from high school, brothers Heath and Wyatt Lancaster. First in a self-defense class led by Wyatt, then in wrestling school led by Heath. After her debut, Amy won her first title, the WOF Alternative Championship, in a 4 Corners of Hell match in which she defeaded Joshua Gytrike, which was just her 4th professional match. She went on to capture the WOF Trans-Atlantic Championship from Grave Digger, who immediately kidnapped her and held her captive for two weeks. During this time, he convinced – some would say brainwashed – her into believing her then-boyfriend Wyatt and their daughter had left her behind, and that her only choice was to join his Dark Army. For the next year, Amy did just that, fighting at Grave Digger's side, running roughshod over the WOF roster. Shortly after Amy joined Grave Digger, they went on to add another person to the Dark Army, Dustin Diablo.In January of 2006, there was a split in the company, with WOF being taken over by one of the shareholders, and a new company, HVW, being created in the aftermath. This new company would be owned and operated by the very man who trained Amy, her high school best friend Heath Lancaster. Amy's Trans-Atlantic Championship was renamed the International Championship, which she held until May 2006, losing to Sakura Hyotei.
Amy and Dustin would grow tired of taking orders from Grave Digger, who was the HVW World Champion. In July of 2006, they turned on him in the middle of a six-man tag match, and Amy demanded, and was given, a shot at the World Championship. She failed, and was out of action for a few weeks with a neck injury, and very nearly did not return to the ring. But with encouragement from Dustin – who she had begun dating – and from fans, she did go back, and demanded a rematch. It was granted, and on 10-15-06, Amy became HVW World Champion, defeating Grave Digger in a First Blood match. She held that title for 7 months, losing to “Wildcat” Lynn Brewster in May of 2007. During this time, she also worked in FTWO, and in May of 2007 she defeated Michael Black to reclaim the Trans-Atlantic Championship that she had never lost when HVW split from WOF. She held that title for only a month before she had to vacate it, right after losing the HVW World Championship, as she was forced to take a leave of absence from the ring, due to a surprise pregnancy.
Amy gave birth to her son in January of 2008, and returned to the ring in March. Amy spent her time slowly getting back into the shape she was in pre-pregnancy, and did some work in the Women's division, as well as the tag division, forming a short-lived group called Synergy, along with Dustin Diablo, Blood Reign, and Odin Knyght. In May of 2008, she and Diablo were married. Shortly after, while at the Mistakes & Glories HVW PPV event at Madison Square Garden, Amy was attacked and raped by an unknown assailant in the locker room showers. Her attacker was eventually revealed to be a member of the roster, Rick Adams, and the attack had been set up by Diablo's twin sister Elektra Langton. But before Adams could be arrested and brought up on charges, both Adams and Elektra fled, and have never been found. To this day Amy avoids locker room showers in any arena.
In October of 2008, tragedy struck when the owner of HVW and Amy's best friend, Heath Lancaster, was killed by a drunk driver. In his will, the ownership of HVW was left to Amy. She put the company on hiatus until January 2009 to work out legalities and deal with the grief. On the reopening of HVW, Amy decided to step back from the ring to focus on running the company. But not ready to retire, she went back to FTWO, with the intention of recapturing the Trans-Atlantic Championship, that once again, she never lost. In August of 2009, she branched out further by signing with the company that had been HVW's biggest competition, VWA. In VWA, Amy rose quickly through the Women's division (as then VWA did not allow women to vie for every championship, and had very few intergender matches), and on 6-11-10, she became VWA Women's Champion, defeating Black Rose. In the meantime,back in FTWO she failed to recapture the Trans-Atlantic Championship, losing to Cam Davitt on 6-15-09.
Due to a struggling roster and other behind the scenes issues, FTWO closed in 2009, merging with HVW. This left Amy with a larger roster to handle as owner of HVW, and once again only actively competing in one company. In December of 2009, Diablo was on tap to join Amy in VWA, where they planned on entering the Tag division, breaking VWA's tradition of keeping men and women separate. But that never happened, as the night Diablo was supposed to debut, doing a run in to help Amy in her match, he never showed up. The resulting argument led to Amy and Diablo's split and divorce.
In February of 2010, after a year of running HVW and many disagreements with the members of the board, and also with the roster, Amy decided that the company had run its course and ceased operations. HVW's last show was held on 2-1-10. This left Amy with just VWA to concentrate on. Having lost many things important to her so closely together, Amy became bitter and selfish, much to the fans' distaste.She continued in VWA for another year, holding the Women's Championship for 6 months, losing it to Natalie Burrows (now Bateman) on 12-19-10. During this time, she struck up an unlikely friendship with fan-favorite Andrew Raynes, trading witty cheap shots that turned into flirty banter. In February 2011, VWA also closed its doors. Amy took this as a sign that it was time to hang up her boots after a storied and successful career. She went back to college and finished her degree in Psychology.

With thoughts of becoming a World Champion again, Amy signed her VWA contract and returned to the ring for the first time in over three years on 8-31-14. Then, on 2-15-15, Amy won the 7th Circle of Hell match (Elimination Chamber + I Quit) became the VWA High Voltage Champion, becoming the first female to win said match, and also the first female in VWA to hold a major title other than the Women's Championship. During this time she reconnected with Andrew Raynes, after randomly running into him while on a short vacation trip. They soon rekindled their relationship, and became an official couple over Christmas 2014. However, just before Thanksgiving 2015 Amy broke up with him, after a few months of lack of communication and bickering. She did not been take it well and developed a fondness for alcohol.
On February 3rd 2016, Amy faced and defeated Dylan Howell in her hometown of New Orleans, but Howell attacked and injured her previously injured left knee after the match. She was given medication for the pain, and she took them when she got home, along with her usual stiff drink. The combination led to an accidental hydrocodone overdose. Amy was found unconscious the next morning by her daughter's father, Wyatt, and rushed to the hospital. Following the near-death incident, Amy vowed to stop drinking, and began seeing a therapist, as well as a pagan-based addiction support group.
On March 6th, 2016 at Retribution, Amy did what few thought she was capable of and defeated Regan Street to become the SCW World Champion, one month shy of a full year after signing with SCW. She successfully defended the title at Breakdown on March 30th in a rematch against Regan, marking the 3rd win over her and breaking Regan's 4-year streak of never losing on Breakdown. The following week, April 6th, on Breakdown, Amy fought a grueling near-40 minute match against Syren in her second defense, and was defeated.
Soon after losing the World Championship, Amy struck up an unlikely friendship with David Miller, a polarizing figure well known to SCW. She'd heard stories and rumors about his history, but never one to judge, she largely brushed it off, deciding to find out for herself. Their 'relationship' (as it was never really official) was brief, fiery, and ended tumultuously when she finally found out the truth behind the rumors.
August 2016 would be a very eventful month for Amy, as on August 4th, VWA announced they were ceasing operations, just one day before a scheduled show, Rapture. Amy had been pushing for a World Championship match, and with the closing not only was she losing her home company but also the chance to become it's champion, which is what she came out of retirement for. However, days later, a match she had scheduled at a final VWA house show (which they were contractually obligated to hold) was turned into a World Championship match. With this final opportunity, Amy threw herself into preparations. In the meantime, in SCW Amy defeated Shilo Valiant on the 24th to become the Television Champion. Days later, on the 28th, Amy fought in that last VWA match, a Hell in a Cell, against the champion William Hush and another challenger, Kaji Fireson, and walked away as the final VWA World Champion.
In between those 4 days Amy had ended her relationship with Miller, after a few arguments about her prying into his past. After one backstage the same night she won the TV Title, he'd taken a swing at her, and for her that was the line that couldn't be uncrossed. The morning of the 28th, before her HIAC match, news broke of his death. Amy couldn't help but blame herself, and the entire situation sent her back to bottle at one point, and also back to her therapist.
One bright spot was that after VWA's closing, Amy's friend Kara Abheri needed somewhere to go, having grown tired of staying in a Chicago hotel suite, and Amy offered Kara and her daughter a place in her home. Kara happily accepted and the two friends vowed to help keep each other strong while making sure their kids were well cared for.
At the end of 2016, Amy became the SCW United States Champion after defeating Finnegan Piper, a hand-picked proxy by Vixen Cain, who was deemed unable to compete. Amy also was placed into the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament, and after only losing one match in the round robin portion, she went on to defeat Donovan Kayl in the semis and AJ Helms in the finals to become the 2017 Shot of Adrenaline winner.
During this time, Amy also renewed her relationship with Wyatt, and in February of 2017 they were married.
After only losing one match in 2017 (to Tyler Tucker in the Shot of Adrenaline tournament) Amy lost the US Championship to the same man, also breaking an 11-match win streak, at Broken Beliefs in April. The following Breakdown, Amy faced Adrenaline Champion Christy Matthews in a Submission Match, the stipulation chosen by Amy as part of her reward for winning Shot of Adrenaline. In the match, Amy caused Christy to pass out with the Tourniquet, earning her the Adrenaline Championship.
