After facing the best competition in Europe, Miss Rachel has traveled all the way from the southern coast of England to tangle with the stable of wrestling talent in the Magnificent Ladies Wrestling.
"I like to be tested by the very best," says Miss Rachel, who hopes someday soon to compete against the legendary lady wrestlers of Japan. "I will travel wherever necessary to fight the best, which is why I'm in Tennessee. There's an Magnificent Ladies Wrestling championship belt to be won."
She's physically imposing enough to battle male wrestlers and counts as one of her proudest moments pinning a man in a championship bout. But Miss Rachel is far more than a pretty package of power.
She's mastered the technical side of wrestling, too, in bruising matches with international stars such as Amazing Kong, Wesna, Malia Hosaka, April Hunter and Candi Divine. Opponents are just as likely find themselves trapped in a skillfully applied Boston crab as they are to have their head snapped back by a powerful forearm smash. And why not? Miss Rachel began training at the famous NWA-UK Hammerlock School of Wrestling when she was only 14 and was the only female in her class. The male wrestlers did her no favors during long hours of grueling workouts.
"It was a tough school, but that toughness has come in handy many times over the years," she declares. "I'm rough. I enjoy power moves and brawling, but there are a number of clever tricks I can pull out of my bag when needed. My opponents need to know that I don't ask for their respect. I demand it."
While Miss Rachel has both the power and the skills to defeat most opponents without resorting to illegal maneuvers, the British star can become a fearsome force of destruction when she loses her temper in the ring. Opponents who try to brawl toe-to-toe with her are asking for a trip to the local emergency room.
"It's not my goal to hurt the other girls," Miss Rachel says with a laugh. "But if you're going to face off with me, you'd better be ready for the fight of your life."
