* How It Started: I started out believe it or not as a valet for my boyfriend at the time. My gimmick was "Princess Tessa", and I'd come down to the ring wearing scantily clad outfits, posing & preening at ringside. But I yearned to be the one in the ring. So I started training under a woman named Jae Hiroki. Man was she hard on me. But I'd already had years of training in Karate, Judo and Ballet, so I guess there was a reason. 9 months later, I was wrestling dark matches for my 2nd company of employ, and sure enough I was signed as a wrestler soon after. I haven't looked back since.
* Gimmick: These days I'm just me. I wouldn't say it's a gimmick. I just let it all hang out, I mean you only live once after all.
* Wrestling Style: I've been called a "Jumping Bean" plenty of times. *Giggles* My style is fast paced, frenetic and always uptempo. So many women these days want to be good at everything. Me, I've worked on the area that brings me to the dance, speed and agility. I think it's worked out well for me thus far, dont'cha think?
* Gear/Outfit/Costume: This year I'm going for the more traditional look instead of coming out dressed like a Raver Girl. *Giggles*
* Titles Held: Well I've been VCW Light Heavyweight Champion twice, the 1st female to ever hold the title. (Yes, I'm not afraid to mix it up with the boys, either.) But the one that stands out is obvious the XWA Diamond Title. It's my 1st major title, and I couldn't be more proud to represent the company that's redifined women's wrestling in North America.
* Biggest Win: That's easy, The Diamond Devil's Playground 2008. The night I became champion. I was one of the 1st two females in the chamber, and me winning was an after thought considering the level of competition I was facing. But I survived the onslaught and made it to the bitter end, not only winning the match...but pinning the then reigning and defending champion Jamie Fury to do so. It's a match I'll never soon forget.
* Worst Loss: That would be a match I had in VCW against Helena Troy. A match where she beat the hell out of me. I've not since to this day forgotten that match, and how it felt to taste my own blood face down on the mat. She's got her comeuppance coming one day, and soon.
* Favorite Type of Match: I love me a good ladder match. I can be pretty creative with a ladder, ya' know.
* Favorite Moves/Holds: I love the Lucha Libre style of wrestling, so naturally any move that's come from the style I enjoy performing. Moonsaults, Hurracanranas, Planchas, the works.
* Finisher: It's called The Crescendo, and it's basically a 180 degree elevated neckbreaker.
* Biggest Allies: John Trudeau (aka. Johnny Aces/Phoenix), Cameron Marley and Alundra Jade. We've been friends it seems for ages now.
* Most Hated Enemies: Helena Troy. Nuff said.
* Favorite Wrestlers: Well there's my mentor Jae Hiroki, then there's Alundra, who I've admired since my days as a valet. They're both veterans, and true professionals. They compete with class and respect, which I personally think is a lost art form in the business these days.
* Wrestling Ambition: To be the best champion I can be. To imrpve and grow as a wrestler. And maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe to meet me a cute guy.
Tanden's Personal Notes...
I've come a long way in the last three years. From ditsy manager, to Independent fire cracker, to World Champion. But I'm not done yet. Only a fool would become complacent. I know that I have to work twice as hard to stay on top of the mountain, and three times as hard to get back up it when I eventually get knocked off. But I'm willing to do exactly that and then some. The best has yet to come, that's a promise.
