Haley Rogers' Profile...
- How It Started: I have a brother who is five years older than I am and I thought he was really cool. Because I wanted to be cool like him, I did what he did...and he watched wrestling! I watched it since I was three years old and went to all the live events that came to my hometown. Then when I was 17, I achieved one of my dreams: to attend a Wrestle Mania. Wrestle Mania 18 was in Toronto and my friend and I flew to Toronto and sat in the nose bleeds just to say we were there. I got home from Wrestle Mania and that is when I decided that as cool as it was to sit among 70,000 people, it would be AMAZING to be in front of 70,000 people!
- Gimmick: I'm a cocky babyface and an even cockier heel. When I'm babyface, I like to come out and fire up the crowd and make fun of my opponent. As a heel, I LOVE to antagonize the crowd and still make fun of my opponent!
- Wrestling Style: I like to mix it up when I can. While I don't hit the top rope too often, I try to mix technical wrestling with a few high flying moves here and there for something a little flashier. I'm also not adverse to bending the rules from time to time.
- Gear: Black and blue with my new cat and cross bones symbol.
- Titles Held: Pro Wrestling Xtreme Women's Championship.
- Biggest Win: My biggest win came when I defeated Danyah in front of about 750 people at the North Sydney Forum in North Sydney, Nova Scotia, in September
of 2008. That's where I used to go watch wrestling when I was a kid and to go back there and actually wrestle was an amazing feeling! - Worst Loss: My worst loss came in Techumseh, Ontario, when I was defeated by Danyah after she kept deliberately using special guest referee
Jamie D to help her in the match. Jamie finally had enough and choke slammed me and counted the three for Danyah. - Favorite Type of Match: My favorite type of match is a good, hard hitting singles contest or intergender match.
- Favorite Moves/Holds: Side Russian leg sweep; double knees in the corner; bulldog; monkey flip.
- Finisher: Flatliner; figure-four leg lock.
- Biggest Allies: I don't really have any allies in the squared circle. They always seem to turn on me if I get too close to people.
- Most-Hated Enemies: Anyone whose turns on me better watch their backs!
- Toughest Opponent(s): Nikki Roxx; Serena Deeb; PJ Tyler.
- Career Highlight: Wrestling in front of family and friends in North Sydney, Nova Scotia, was for sure a highlight so far. Getting to wrestle with my trainer Tyson Dux against Dangerboy Derek Wylde and Jennifer Blake in PWX was a great experience and one I'd LOVE to do again!
- Favorite Wrestlers: Tyson Dux; Edge; Christian; Rowdy Roddy Piper; Bret Hart; Johnny Devine; Shawn Michaels.
- Wrestling Ambition: To get as much experience as possible in all different areas and aspects of wrestling, and to one day be able to make a living out of doing what I love to do.
Haley Rogers' Personal Notes...
When I'm not training, saying my prayers and taking my vitamins, I watch old wrestling tapes.....I have three tattoos: one is bamboo with the Chinese symbol for my name in the middle, another is a black maple leaf with a green clover in the middle, and, finally, the word "fighter" on my right wrist.....I hate being at home too long. I get bored and start to go stir crazy after a while! So I really love being on the road, traveling and meeting new people.
