Crystal Fire

When you play with fire, you WILL get burned.

Height: 5-foot-6
Weight: 145 pounds
Hometown: Cleveland, Tenn.

A deadly combination of technical wrestling skills and powerful physique, Crystal Fire is one of the most dangerous women in professional wrestling. Just ask her.

"I have competed against some of the toughest women in the wrestling profession today," she snarls. "I give the fans 150% every time I wrestle. My opponents know they will get the fight of their lives whenever they step into the ring with me."

Crystal can count on family connections to further her already impressive career. She married into one of wrestling's most prominent families. Her father-in-law, Bill Russell, was a major contender for many years, and her husband, Slick Rick, is among the most respected competitors on the independent circuit. The wealth of knowledge and ring tricks these men possess gives Crystal a tactical advantage in every match.

Despite her training and background, Crystal has the heart of a brawler. Strong and tough, she often physically overpowers her opponents with brute force, battering and pounding them into submission. It's no surprise her finisher is called the Fire Crusher, which usually leaves her opponents stunned and defenseless against the pin.

"The only thing I like more than seeing my opponent lying helpless in the center of the ring is having my arm raised in victory," Crystal says. "That's what my opponents need to remember. I will not just pin you. I will beat you into the canvas."

Crystal has worked for almost 20 different wrestling groups and has worn the championship belt in three different federations. She has her sights set on winning the MLW belt, too.

"I look good in gold," Crystal says. "The MLW belt will look real good around my waist."
