Entrance Theme:
“My Own Worst Enemy” by Blameshift
Finishers:
Belladonna Poison Arrow - With the opponent in a tree of woe on the ringpost, Bella climbs up the same ring post from the outside and stands on the top before jumping up and hitting a double foot stomp to their chest, usually causing them to collapse to the canvas below.
Sleep Tight, Princess: With the opponent slumped against the middle rope, Bella turns and breaks for the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. Bouncing off, she comes back and hits a vicious knee strike while crashing the ropes and her opponent, hitting them square in the head.
Signature Moves:
Not Today, Satan - Done as a counter: with the opponent running at her, Bella uses their momentum to lift the opponent up and over her own head, slamming them down with a suplex. Can either be bridged for the pin attempt or she can release as soon as the move hits. AKA the Cutie Special by Arisa Nakajima
Crotch Slingshot - With the opponent’s back turned towards her, Bella steps forward and slips her hands between their left, cupping their crotch as she lifts them up and over with a modified back suplex. Can be done to men or women, but obviously more effective against male opponents. AKA the Ballsplex by Candice LeRae
Gimmick:
Bella is a law unto herself, and has her own moral compass that she lives by, rather than the idea of good or bad. She is feisty, has a mouth on her, isn’t afraid to stand up to people and has something of a chequered past to say the least. She’s old beyond her years thanks to that though and while she may come across as a bit goofy at times when in a good mood, she’s definitely street smart.
Biography:
Bella Downing has not had an easy life. She has a rap sheet as long as her arm and has been arrested so many times that half the local officers in her neighborhood know her by name without having to even ask. She was literally in last chance saloon when she was forcibly enrolled at AnteUp Wrestling Academy, owned by David Helms and Thomas Valentine, as part of the rehabilitation program that the two men had been running on and off since 2010.
Bella eventually formed a strong bond with AJ Helms while training at AnteUp and slowly began to turn her life around during that time. Graduating from AnteUp, she moved cross-country to New Orleans where she enrolled at BlackOut Academy, owned by Amy Chastaine, in order to continue her education. She made some great friends at BlackOut too, including Amy’s daughter Jaina, but more importantly, she was able to get the attention of GCW too. With a new contract signed and rubber stamped, she’s ready to begin her own journey in a business she has no interest in only two years earlier. How far she’ll go with that, who knows.
