Sonya Robbin's Profile...
* Height: 5'9"
* Weight: 138 lbs.
* Hair: Red, and natural too.
* Eyes: Green
* Hometown: Washington, DC
* Age: 25
* Years In Wrestling: 2
* Theme Song: "Burn" by Sister Machine Gun (sent to admins)
* How It Started: I got into wrestling by watching wrestling. I've always been a fan. I went to all the shows when they came to DC, and soon enough I was getting close enough to ask questions about how a girl like me could break into the business. I was told I needed to train first, so I took the money I was getting from dancing (yes, I was an exotic dancer as well) and joined a wrestling school. It helped that I was also a black belt in Karate as well that I was able to excel, and before I even graduated I was already wrestling small indy shows. I guess I must've been doing pretty good, since last year was the year I was scouted personally by Sarah Warfield to join the XWA.
* Gimmick: I'm a rabid, redheaded pitbull who's hungry for success. If that's what you call a gimmick, then there you go.
* Wrestling Style: I'm technical, but I rely a lot on my martial arts background. That means I kick...hard. And often too. You've been warned. ;D
* Gear/Outfit/Costume: Single shoulder top, tights, pads and boots made for stomping the competition. I wear red & black, but who knows...purple is starting to wear on me. Maybe I might surprise someone out there with a color change down the road.
* Titles Held: The XWA Pearl Title.
* Biggest Win: Winning that very title, and in doing so being the only woman to pin Jamie Fury in a one-on-one match all of 2008. Seeing as she's a Diamond Dominator, that's a big deal in my book.
* Worst Loss: Losing in the finals of GirlFight 2008. There I was, that close to making it into the main event of XGAMES2, and I was dominating too! I just ran out of gas and couldn't recover. It taught me to be a more patient competitor and not to go in for the kill so early. Now...I know when to strike the hardest.
* Favorite Type of Match: I don't have a favorite, but I don't have an objection either.
* Favorite Moves/Holds: Like I said before, I like to kick. My Karate training is probably the one asset that has helped me succeed in the ring.
* Finisher: The Red Red Kroovy, which my rendition of the Death Valley Driver and of course Seeing Red. Remember how I said I kick hard? Well...that's the hardest one I've got.
* Biggest Allies: Syrus of course! He's so great, I'm trying not to blush too much here. Other than him I was kind of a loner last year, so I didn't make too many friends. That'll change this year I'm sure.
* Most Hated Enemies: I wouldn't call her an enemy, but Amber Gianni is one hell of a rival. She beat me for the Pearl Title and then did it again in my rematch, so naturally I have my eyes on retribution someday with her.
* Favorite Wrestlers: My favorite wrestlers are the ones who give 100% in the ring. It doesn't matter what style they have, I can tell when they're putting it all on the line. Those are my kind of people.
* Wrestling Ambition: My goal in 2009 is to reach the top of the mountain and become the XWA Diamond Champion. I think I've paid my dues already, don't you?
Sonya's Personal Notes...
All that I have to say is that 2009 is going to be the "Year of the Redhead"! I'm coming in stronger, smarter and better than before, so all the rest of you Diamonds had better have worked on knowing how to take a hit. These "educated feet" are going to take you to school!
