Erica Porter - Biography:
Never hunt what you can't kill and that's
the law of the jungle and if your not careful you might just
end up splattered on the mat!
This young self-proclaimed tomboy got bit
by the wrestling bug fairly early in her life but she never
though it would be a career option for her. The fiery Guatemalan-born
wrestling phenom held a slew of odd jobs from construction worker
to owning and running a gymnastics company before she found
W.O.W. Erica auditioned for W.O.W thinking it was some kind
of women's fantasy show but was delighted whens he found out
it was an actual wrestling program.
When WOW Women of Wrestling hit the airwaves,
she made a huge impact as the female Tarzan of the ring Jungle
Grrrl and other than one lost to Terri Gold (who she also holds
a victory over) she was undefeated. She splattered ladies with
her vicious Splash left and right and then came Beckie the Farmers
Daughter. Beckie proclaimed on live television that she had
the best Splash in the biz and that light a fire under Jungle
Grrrl! The two ladies started a nasty fude, which went on for
weeks and would finally end in a Splash Match at W.O.W Unleashed,
W.O.W.'s 1st PPV. The two rookie wrestlers put on a great match
which ended when Jungle Grrrl climbing a 20 foot ladder, jumping
off and crashing into Beckie with a fantastic splash. After
that it was clear that Erica had a future in the business and
she continued to dominate the women of W.O.W and when it looked
like she was gonna win the ladies title from Terri Gold and
W.O.W got cancelled.
After that, she worked Indy matches for a
while getting more experience, beating ladies such as Lexie
Fyfe and then in late 2002 she signed a deal with UPW. Erica
was a stand out student at Ultimate University and was quickly
propelled into the ever-growing UPW ladies division and it was
only a matter of time before she won the UPW Ladies title. After
she eliminated Looney Lane in a battle Royal Erica won the chance
the battle Savvy for the UPW ladies title and when she did,
Erica proved too tough for the little spitfire Savvy, she defeated
her and then gave her the splash too add insult to injury.
Erica had a try out match with the WWE and
even though they did not sign her, it's well documented that
they are interested and have their eye on her. She has UPW gold
right now and can WWE gold be far away?
