* Height: 5'6"
* Weight: 145lbs
* Hair: Blond
* Eyes: Green/Gray
* Hometown: Philadelphia, PA
* Age: 25
* Years In Wrestling: 3
* Theme Song: Kanye West - Diamonds Are Forever
* How It Started: I'd been wrestling independently in Philly for a couple months before I got the call from XWA. But other then that, XWA's been the one place I've wrestled for professionally. My career started here, and chances are it'll end here. And I've had a blast competing for the XWA fans.
* Gimmick: If being one's self is a gimmick, I guess that's what it is.
* Wrestling Style: My style has always been submission based, but thanks to some extensive and at time extreme training with Alundra Jade I've added some new techniques to the bag of tricks. It never hurts to add new moves here and there, keeps people on their toes.
* Gear/Outfit/Costume: This year I'm going for a look based on one of my childhood heroes, Debra Miceli...aka Alundra Blaze/Medusa.
* Titles Held: The XWA Diamond Title. Not only was I the 1st to ever hold it, but I also to this day have the longest reign as champion.
* Biggest Win: Defending the Diamond title against one of my dear friends Sayuri Irabu in her homeland of Japan. We both gave our all in the match, and afterwards, we embraced in the middle of the ring with the Tokyodome cheering us on. It was an awesome feeling.
* Worst Loss: Losing at XGames I. It was a tornado tag steel cage match between me and Heather Fierhart against Bianca Dianaco and Nicole Roland. Me and Nicole were left in the ring, and she kicked my ass something fierce before exiting the cage. I of course got my payback the next season.
* Favorite Type of Match: What else? Submission matches.
* Favorite Moves/Holds: The Sharpshooter. It's been one of my core moves since I started wrestling, and a move I've won countless matches with.
* Finisher: The Diamond Cutter. It's quick and effective. I can snap it off out of no where, just like the gentlemen who innovated the move, Diamond Dallas Paige.
* Biggest Allies: Sayuri Irabu, Chloe Lockheart, Heather Fierhart & Alundra Jade.
* Most Hated Enemies: The Black Diamonds...All of them. But most notably my older sister Helena Troy and my arch nemesis Bianca Dianaco.
* Favorite Wrestlers: As mentioned before, Debra Miceli, as well as Trish Stratus and Amy Dumas.
* Wrestling Ambition: To continue getting better in the ring, and performing for the greatest wrestling fans in the greatest wrestling prganization on the planet.
Ashley's Personal Notes...
Since it all started, it's been like a whirlwind. There's been ups and downs and times where I've felt that things weren't going to go my way. But I stay strong, and true to my belief that one person can make a difference. It's been an ideal I've lived by all my life. The world is missing it's heroes. Those people that you can look up to. That you can draw strength from. I'm proud to carry the moniker or "Ms. XWA." It's more then a nickname to me, it's a statement. I am the original XWA Diamond. And my career has run parallel to the success of the company. Three years later and we're still getting better. Three years later and there's no sign of us slowing down. Three years later and we're still hungry for more. As good as I am, I'm still not the best. Despite what everyone says or thinks, you'll never hear those words out of my mouth. I'm far from my best. I've still got a lot to learn, and a lot to prove. I've never been the prettiest girl, I'm certainly not the strongest, and not the toughest either. What I am is the hardest working. And I'll continue to work hard, get better and take on every challenge as I have in the past...so that one day I will be "The Greatest".
But rest assured, you've not seen the best of Ashley Diamond yet.
