is "The Future Queen... of Professional Wrestling!" TAMMY...
AAAAAAAAPOLLO!!!
[The fans give an awesome pop then the lights dim… and the fans
rise
up
in anticipation. Then a dance beat hits, and red lights flash in time.
A bar later, blue lights join those red lights in alternating fashion.
By the fourth bar, red, purple and blue pyro shoots from random parts
of the stage. "Drop the Pressure" by Mylo continues and the place
goes
WILD as Tammy Apollo, in hed and black ring attire, comes out to the
stage and the ovation is OFF THE CHARTS!
Tammy claps to the beat of the song and the fans follow, then she jogs
down the aisle, tagging everyone's hands around ringside, before
leaping up onto the apron and entering the ring, poses to the crowd on
one side and red pyro BOOM! explodes from the ringposts.
She then poses the other side and this time blue pyro BOOM! explodes
from the rafters! All the while the crowd are going nuts as Tammy
begins warming up in the corner.]
Does your wrestler have a valet/manager:
Not a valet or manager as such, but she is being mentored, so to speak,
by Annabelle Stone.
Wrestler History:
Tamara Apollo was born in Baltimore, and is the cousin of FTW superstar
and former multi-time women's tag team champion, Cherry Apollo. After
making her wrestling debut, with limited guidance from her cousin, in
early December 2003 in the Baltimore area, she moved to the United
Kingdom and was snapped up rather quickly by XTreme Wrestling
Aaasociation-UK in London.
Tammy was incredibly successful, winning the XWA-UK Junior Heavyweight
Championship in her debut match. Weeks later, she was made an offer by
former XWA-UK alumna, Joss Katz, to train with her.
Tammy spent February to August 2004 shuttling between London and
Baltimore, where Joss was based, and trained under her. Tammy was so
pleased to be working under Joss's tutelage, when Tammy won the XWA-UK
Women's Championship in July 2004, she immediately offered Joss a title
shot.
At the XWA-UK's final show in August 2004, the two wrestled a thirty
minute technical masterclass that ended in a draw, to a great reaction
from the live crowd, as the match had fulfilled what it set out to
achieve. It allowed Joss to say her farewells to the British fans who
had been loyal to her for so many years, and it allowed Tammy to take
her first big step up to the plate in the United States.
Tammy was given a tryout for the Illinois-based Online Wrestling
Association in late 2004, but declined a contract, preferring to
wrestle in her new base of operations, her hometown of Baltimore.
She engaged in an awesome feud with rising star in the Baltimore area,
Flicky Stevens (who was her cousin Cherry's best friend), and Tammy and
Flicky traded victories and championships through the east coast until
Flicky signed with the Chicago-based Magnum Wrestling Association in
July 2005.
The next few months saw Tammy travel the entire United States, taking
on whatever competition she found on the independent scene, before she
took a hiatus in November 2005 to rest up after nearly two years of
competing non-stop.
She returned in June 2006, with a new focus, to make it to a federation
that had made it's home in her hometown of Baltimore, Full Throttle
Wrestling.
Tammy was scouted by her old trainer Joss Katz, who contacted a party
involved with the Greater Canada Federation, an FTW-affiliated
developmental company based in Mississauga, Ontario, and at the
company's inception, Tammy was signed, and her chance to step up to the
major leagues had come.
Tammy garnered immediate success in GCF, winning the GCF Women's
Canadian National Championship on Sunday August 13th 2006, in
Mississauga, Ontario, by winning a gruelling three-way match-up.
A month and a half later, Tammy made her FTW pay-per-view debut in her
hometown of Baltimore at FTW: The American Revolution, on October 22nd
2006.
She then joined a large faction of young female performers who were
scattered around the FTW developmental leagues, called "The Future
Queens of Pro-Wrestling", a definite factor as to why her nickname
outside of FTW is indeed "The Future Queen".
After becoming a show-stealing performer in GCF throughout the rest of
the calendar year, with title defenses in opening matches exceeding 20
to 30 minutes of back and forth action, Tammy seriously began opening
eyes in other federations.
FTW alumna and contender to the CWF World Women's Championship at the
time, a certain Annabelle Stone, had contacted CWF higher-ups to act as
a talent scout for the CWF, and Tammy was unsurprisingly first on her
list.
Tammy participated in a try-out match on the pre-show to CWF's ''Fire
and Fury'' pay-per-view on February 25th 2007 against Annabelle.
Despite coming up short in what was simply billed as an exhibition, CWF
management were impressed, and in March 2007, Tammy has since joined
the CWF, with Annabelle mentoring her in and out of the ring.
Tammy came to the CWF with two goals.
First is to one day, reign the CWF as World Women's Champion.
Secondly, a more short-term goal. To prove in CWF that the coming of
Annabelle Stone and Alexis-Michelle in 2006 was only the beginning of a
renaissance of CWF's already amazingly talented women's division, a
goal that she undoubtedly fulfilled during her tryout match for CWF.
However, a third goal seems to many to be obvious - to join the hunt
for the US Women's title, a championship her mentor Annabelle held on
her road to world title glory, or perhaps to team up with Annabelle to
become a Women's Tag Team Champion. The bottom line is, for this Future
Queen, the possibilities are plentiful...
