Sassy Stephie Stephanie Sager ( March 18 , 1984 ) is an American professional wrestler , better known by her ring names Sassy Stephie and Sassy Stephanie . She regularly performs for many independent promotions in the Midwest and the East Coast , such as Shimmer Women Athletes , Jersey All Pro Wrestling , WSU and OCW . She also has experience in Ring of Honor and Chikara . Career . Sassy Stephie began her career ring announcing for a local wrestling promotion in the Akron , Ohio area . She was given a chance when the regular announcer had to sit out . One of the commentators suggested her to the promoter , since she had previous experience as a DJ at a bowling alley . After becoming the regular ring announcer , it was suggested to her that she get trained , since she loved wrestling so much . Stephie jumped at the chance and began training at Jeff Cannon ' s school in Coshocton . OCW . She made her wrestling debut in Cannon ' s promotion Ohio Championship Wrestling at their first annual all ladies ' show in March 2007 . She lost to Lexi Lane ( who would go on to become TNA ' s Madison Rayne ) in the first round of the tournament . Although both were friendly at this point , this match would ignite a rivalry between the two . She also competed in a tag team match later in the night , teaming with Lorelei Lee to lose to Josie and Jessicka Havok . Lane went on to win the tournament and become the first OCW Women ' s Champion , and Stephie would get several shots at her title over the next couple of years . She did manage to beat Lane in a no disqualification Catfight Brawl , but suffered an injury in that match that caused her to miss significant ring time . Stephie competed against Lane in both singles and tag matches , often utilizing partners such as Angel Dust or Hailey Hatred to take on Lane ( later renamed Ashley Lane ) and her partner Nevaeh . At the second annual Ladies Night in 2008 , Stephie once again competed in the tournament . She had a chance to win a bye to the finals in the opening battle royale , but came up short . She lost her first round match , a four - way between herself , Allison Danger , Ashley Lane and Lorelei Lee . Later in the night , she teamed with Josie and beat Lorelei Lee and Alere Little Feather in tag team action . In April 2009 , she competed in the third annual Ladies Night tournament . Although she lost her first round match to Lorelei Lee , all the losers of the first round got a second chance and she won a triple threat against Nevaeh and Mary Elizabeth Monroe to advance to the semi - finals . However , she came up short against Jessicka Havok and was eliminated . In the summer , she suffered a controversial loss to Amber O ' Neal , after Ashley Lane appointed herself the special guest referee . SHIMMER . Stephie made her way to SHIMMER in October 2008 , competing on SPARKLE , the SHIMMER taping ' s pre - show . She lost her match to Rachel Summerlyn . In May 2009 she would again compete on SPARKLE . On the first night she teamed with Kimberly Kash to lose to Rachel Summerlyn and Rayna Von Tash . On the second night , she lost to Kash in a singles match . Her luck finally turned around at the November 2009 taping , when she teamed with Kacey Diamond to beat Leva and Kimberly Kash . This earned them the right to compete on the Volume 28 taping , but she and Diamond lost their match to Nevaeh & Ashley Lane . JAPW : WD . Stephie competed on the first ever JAPW Women ' s Division show in January 2009 , where she lost to Roxie Cotton .
