Cactus Jane

Janine Sand, better known by her ring name Cactus Jane is a professional wrestler currently working for the Waifu Wrestling Alliance as the reigning WWA Hardcore Champion.
== Early Life ==
Sand was born just outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. Instead of moving into the big city, Sand instead opted to move out into the desert to hone her craft as a hardcore wrestler.
== Professional Wrestling Career ==
=== Early Career ===
Cactus Jane forged her way around the Nevada independent circuit, making a name for herself as a death-defying and dangerous hardcore wrestler. She proved able to shrug off numerous attacks, and take a great deal of punishment. A notable feud with The Mesmerizing Mulatto Mia, also known as Triple M, gave Jane enough exposure to be signed with the WWA.
=== Waifu Wrestling Alliance (WWA) ===
==== Early Matches ====
Cactus Jane debuted in the Waifu Wrestling Alliance (WWA) somewhere between the second and third crop of talent, Cactus Jane came to prove she was the best hardcore wrestler in the world. Jane was expected to make her debut in the Waifu Rumble at the WWA's first major event, Waifus Collide. Jane would enter the Waifu Rumble at number 13, and was responsible for eliminating C.A.M.O.. Jane lasted until the final three before being eliminated by eventual winner, Kuro Noire. Soon after, Jane would team with Sola Fire to face the team of Warhorse (as Fire was responsible for eliminating Mare Equine), but would lose this match when Mare pinned Fire with the Uma Double Stomp.
==== Feud with Cassie Kade ====
In the build up to Waifus Collide, Jane exchanged words with Cassie Kade, with the two vowing to settle the score somewhere down the line no matter the outcome of the Rumble. The two would meet very briefly in the Rumble, but were not able to settle any issues, and were both eliminated. 
Following Waifus Collide, Jane and Kade continued to trade words, though not necessarily directly to each other. At the grand opening Kade's Club Xtacy, Jane broke into the building's backstage area where she and Kade had a brawl. Security footage deemed Kade the "winner", though no arrests were made nor was Jane located at the scene. After Skelly Skelly vacated the WWA Hardcore Championship due to her new duties as World Champion, both Cassie Kade and Jane were entered into the tournament to crown the new champion. It was hoped and expected Jane and Kade would meet at some point in the tournament, however this was not to be the case. 
Jane would face the debuting Syber in a first round match. The match would go on to be one of the most violent and hard hitting matches in WWA history, but Jane would ultimately be defeated after having a kendo stick splintered across her head, and being hit by Syber's Brain Dance cyclone kick. Meanwhile, Kade would go on to the finals of the Tournament where she too would face, and fail to defeat, Syber. This crowned Syber the new WWA Hardcore Champion. Soon after the tournament was concluded, Jane and Kade would finally meet in a Last Waifu Standing match. In a back and forth contest, where each woman came close to winning at numerous time, Jane would finally defeat Kade when Kade was distracted taunting the crowd, and Jane locked in the Mandible Claw, keeping Kade down for the count. Following this, Cactus Jane would step back from the public spotlight, owing to the newfound prominence of the likes of Kade, Syber and Ava Mortis in the hardcore division, but would ensure her desire for a future bout with Ava Mortis was known. 
==== Hardcore Champion ====
Despite defeating Cassie Kade in the Last Waifu Standing match, the history between the two was not finished. Following Ava Mortis' winning the Hardcore Championship at Showdown in Spaghetti Town, Mortis would call out both Kade and Cactus Jane for a three way elimination match. In the build to that match, Cactus Jane and Sola Fire would reunite as Desert Heat to battle both Cassie Kade and her younger sister Nikki Kade in a tag team contest. The Kades would win the match when Nikki pinned Jane. Notably, Jane was never able to tag in Sola Fire, which did draw some frustration from Fire after the match.
The Extreme Rules Triple Threat match would take place at the beginning of April 2023 at WWA133, and would see Jane pin Mortis to win the WWA Hardcore Championship for the first time. In the match, all three women would attack each other with a variety of weapons such as a sledgehammer and a hockey stick, as well as use a baseball bat in a callback to Kade's match against Mortis in the Hardcore Championship Tournament. Notably, in the match, Kade would show impressive power and deliver a double F-5 to Jane and Mortis simultaneously. Due to the confusion surrounding whether this match was intended to be elimination style or one fall to a finish, a Three Way Dance was officially announced, and took place following the conclusion of The Rookie Cup. In this match, Jane would successfully defend her WWA Hardcore Championship when she pinned Cassie Kade and then submitted Ava Mortis in consecutive falls.
Jane's next match would be an open challenge at WWA 154, which would be accidentally answered by Robyn McDaid, ironically a relation of Cassie Kade. The two would meet in a regular singles contest, in which McDaid would emerge victorious. As no other contenders to the Hardcore title emerged, Cactus Jane would presume that Robyn was her upcoming opponent at Bishoujo at the Beach, and head to Club Xtacy once more to send McDaid a personal message. At the club, Jane would bite off the tongue of a drunken patron who attempted to force himself on her, and Jane would later mail the tongue to McDaid, along with a postcard officially offering McDaid the championship contest. The two would meet at the event, where Jane would emerge victorious to retain her title.
Following this event, SpaghettiDog, through executive official Thea Thority, would announce an impending WWA Championship Hardcore Clusterfork match, an 8-waifu elimination match contested under no disqualifications and falls count anywhere rules. Cactus Jane would of course become the first entrant, and her seven challengers were chosen over the following shows, where the winner of seven hardcore matches (or match with hardcore-like rules) would gain entry. The final line up ended up being Jane defending against BSD, Red Hands, Riley Rumrunner, Electra Hellswing, Robyn McDaid, Ratasha, and Keron Croakie. In the Clusterfork, Cactus Jane was pinned by Electra Hellswing following a DDT on the ramp, and her signature Hellswing manoeuvre. In this match, Red Hands would become the new WWA Hardcore Champion. Following the Clusterfork, Cactus Jane would disappear.
==== Return, Warehouse Warfare & Waifus Collide II ====
Following Judge, Yuri & Executioner, and the announcement of the B1 Climax 2023, a handful of carboard boxes would be found at various locations across Spaghetti Town, with notes seemingly inviting select persons to an abandoned warehouse in the Downtown area. Each box contained a small cactus, and a note purportedly from Cactus Jane.
Karna was the first to arrive at the former steel mill warehouse converted into a wrestling arena, and she and Cactus Jane engaged in a hardcore brawl. Though the match was unsanctioned by the WWA, Cactus Jane would score a pinfall over Karna, but request to keep the violence going, as the two awaited more "playmates". Soon after, TRIN-NITY would arrive to join the fight, and a triple threat match was determined to take place (though still outside of officially sanctioned WWA bouts) with the Multiversal Championship on the line. Karna would leave this match victorious and take control of the Multiversal Championship. Enraged, TRIN-NITY and Cactus Jane would continue their fight, including a recorded and aired "Warehouse Warfare" match where TRIN-NITY was victorious.

Following this brief rivalry, Cactus Jane would officially return to the Waifu Wrestling Alliance, emerging from the crowd to challenge Ava Mortis to a singles match a long time coming for many of the WWA fanbase. This match was soon set for Waifus Collide II, where the Hardcore Championship would main event a PWE night for the first time ever. Cactus Jane would win a violent brawl across the arena to claim her second Hardcore Championship.
== Professional Wrestling Style and Persona ==
If the scars and wounds on Jane's body don't signify this already, she works an incredibly dangerous and reckless style. Jane is relentless in the ring, and won't hesitate to break the rules if it means she can give out, or take, some more punishment. In extreme cases, Jane has been known to spit her own blood into her opponents eyes to blind them and gain an advantage. Jane has been seen to use a variety technical kicks, which can be surprising for opponents only expecting car crash offence.
Cactus Jane is not known for her promo work, which often come across as rambling or mumbling more than anything. She had a habit of repeating her opponents' names in her promo, like some sort of insane mantra. In rare cases, Jane can string together several words, such as clearly thanking Syber for their hardcore tournament match, even though Jane lost.
Despite her ring name, Jane does not want to simply be a copy of Cactus Jack, but instead use her shared love of hardcore wrestling to carve her own path.
