April Hunter vs La Tigresa - IWA

I haven't done anything about April Hunter in awhile.
April was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and wrestled a lot here in the States, but she still has quite a following in Mexico from the time she spent working for various wrestling promotions there.

Besides making her mark in Mexico, she has also wrestled in Puerto Rico, for the wrestling promotion International Wrestling Association (IWA).
I've mentioned IWA here a few times before, but it's been a pretty good while.

The IWA was actually started in Japan by promoter Victor Quiñones in 1994.
In 1999, the Hispanic version was created and up until 2001, IWA was a member of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA).
From 1999 to 2001, it was also a a WWE Developmental territory.

Anyway, here is a match from IWA's Juicio Final 4 back in 2004, with April taking on a Puerto Rican wrestler, La Tigresa.



Now normally April has the weight advantage on her opponents, because she is a big, powerful lady, but not this time.

La Tigresa enters the wrestling ring first, followed by April (accompanied by someone in an evening gown?).
April gets into the ring and La Tigresa wastes no time, going after April before the bell.

Some right hands and kicks from La Tigresa, then she throws April into the ropes giving April a chance to reverse and come back with with a flip and a clothesline that sends La Tigresa out of the ring and looking for cover.



La Tigresa starts pointing and yelling at whoever that is outside the ring, which gives April a chance to hit her with a baseball slide, and hammer away at La Tigresa outside the ring.

Once back in the ring, La Tigresa gets the upper hand again and whips out the heel playbook, using eye gouges, hair pulling, biting and a modified camel clutch complete with mouth ripping and face clawing.

And that's only about half the match!

April Hunter is an American professional wrestler, pro wrestling valet and model.

April Hunter was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but moved to Enterprise, Alabama with her father when her parents divorced. At the age of sixteen she returned to Philadelphia. She attended college, majoring in English, Biology and Chemistry, but dropped out after several years. At the age of nineteen she began working as a dancer, but found that she disliked the industry, so she became a fitness model instead.

In 2000 Hunter was hired by Terry Taylor on behalf of WCW as a member of the "Black and White" nWo. Along with four other models (Tylene Buck, Pamela Paulshock, Midajah O'Hearn and Kim Kanner) she accompanied members of the nWo to ringside for their matches. When the nWo split up, the models remained with Scott Steiner, and were identified as his "freaks". Hunter left WCW later that year following a pay dispute.

After leaving WCW, Hunter decided to become a wrestler, and in 2001 she moved to Boston, Massachusetts to train under the venerable Killer Kowalski. She began working on the independent circuit, and eventually met Slyk Wagner Brown, who she would both manage and form an intergender tag team with known alternately as Team SWB and Big Red or Team Underground. Hunter also formed a tag team with fellow Kowalski graduate Nikki Roxx in World Xtreme Wrestling known as The Killer Babes. Hunter went on to form tag teams and win titles with Talia ("T &A") and J.D. Michaels.

Hunter has competed for multiple American promotions, fighting and defeating both men and women including Ring of Honor and TNA Wrestling, and has toured Europe, Japan. Puerto Rico, Canada, UK/Ireland and Mexico several times.

On August 30, 2006, April married her Canadian wrestling boyfriend, J.D. Michaels, in a small, private ceremony at the Graceland Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

April fathers side is from Edinburgh, Scotland. Her mother's side is from Naples, Italy. They met in Philadelphia and April was conceived in Hawaii on her fathers military break from Vietnam.
