Natasha Booth

**Natasha Marie Booth** (b. March 29th, 1989) is a manager, road agent, and commissioner as well as a semi-retired professional wrestler currently apart of the front office of Pro Wrestling Nova. She is known for her business savvy and preference for putting the efforts of hard working talent before money.

Natasha was once the manager of both the Dark Circle and Rogue Horsemen stables in the 2000s before a series of events lead her to taking more behind the camera backstage roles in various companies before finally entering a state of semi-retirement until she was hand selected by Chris Slayton to serve as his choice for the commissioner of the Defiant brand of his new promotion.

## **Early Life**:

Tasha was born on the 29th of March, 1989 in Mount Albert, Auckland, New Zealand to a teacher and member of the local police. She was very active as a child as she played football and later rugby as she got older, not caring if she was developing in to a beauty as she was more focused on having fun. It was roughly about her mid-teens when she first discovered professional wrestling when her father took her to an International Championship Wrestling Alliance pay per view that was happening in Auckland proper at the North Shore Events Centre (now known as the Eventfinda Stadium).

Shortly after her first introduction to professional wrestling, Tasha decided that was her goal in life and she started to train under local wrestler Xena Bradford while continuing her education, eventually completing her training at the age of 18, she would also go onto earn a bachelor's in business administration from the University of Auckland to make sure that she had something to fall back upon in case a career in professional wrestling didn't actually work for her, but thankfully it did and in a stroke of luck, she was noticed by a visiting Conrad LeRue, the vice president of the Armstrong family owned Omega Wrestling Alliance where she was soon introduced to a young man who would be an important part of her life to come;

Devon Slayton.

## **The Armstrong years**:

Tasha was first introduced to the fans of the Omega Wrestling Alliance, later to become Omega Wrestling Entertainment, on the 17th of September 2002 when she was used as a plant during a match between the recently formed Dark Circle stable (Reno Dumont, Chris Morton, Zell Hunter, & Devon Slayton) against Kerry Master's Enterprise stable (Kerry Masters, Ricky Nova, Plague Dog, & Connor Knight) when Knight threatened to hit the "Knightfall" (a Ganso Bomb) on Tasha if Devon didn't eat a pin and give Knight's team the victory.

However things didn't go as planned when Plague Dog forced Knight into hitting the move at which point everything just exploded into a full on brawl between the two groups, but the iconic image of Devon throwing everything away to carry an injured Tasha into the back was considered a major moment of the companies second year of operation.

Tasha would go onto be the manager/valet for not just Devon, but the Dark Circle as a whole, eventually earning her place in the group in one crazed situation after another as she proved herself more than willing to throw herself into the thick of things even with Devon and Tasha seemingly starting to become even closer as the weeks wore on until an infamous pipe bomb moment by Robbie Stevens laid everything bare that the two had been seeing each other since two thousand and one, something that Tasha and Devon deny as, in their own words, "knew exactly when they got together".

Tasha was there for all of Devon's greatest moments- the end of his brutal Electrified Barbed Wire Barricade Double Hell match against Maverick Feral to win his first of three OWA Hazard championships to the day that Devon stopped being the "Forgotten Son" after Team Dark Circle defeated Team Rogue Horsemen (of which Devon's own father, the Reaver, was a member) during the 2004 Summit Wrestling Alliance Summit Games.

Life was good...until it wasn't.

It's unknown when or how it happened, but the relationship between the two had somehow come to a sudden end with neither party explaining why other than a random cryptic comment on Tasha's behalf to Devon's future wife in Lexi Gold during a brief encounter over a decade later: "Just be careful with your mistakes and don't choose your career over your heart".

## **Time in the Frontier Wrestling Alliance**:

After the OWA closed in 2005, Tasha found herself recruited into the FWA by Miss Tara as the older woman was working hard to rebuild the company's women's division following it being gutted when Madeline Freechild lead most of the division over to the newly formed Impact Zone Wrestling promotion and had a pretty solid run but before she could win any championships in the FWA, she ran afoul of Jessica Perkins who took exception to Tasha's combination of beauty and talent before simply trying to wreck the other woman's career at every single chance that she got.

Things eventually came to ahead at the 2008 FWA "Turning Point" pay per view where the two women had a no holds barred match to try and end six months of violent attacks by Perkins on Tasha, the match was a very physically demanding affair but the worst point came when Tasha missing a diving knee drop from the top turnbuckle to a table on the outside where Perkins had been just a moment before which was then followed by Perkins picked Tasha up and slamming the already damaged knee as a hard as she physically could atop the near-by ring steps before locking in a steel chair assisted figure-four leglock, all the while ratcheting up the torque on the knee until finally Tasha passed out from the sheer pain of it without submitting.

However in the end, the damage had been done and Tasha's right knee cap had been forcefully separated from the rest of her knee assembly as well as her ACL in that leg had been almost sheered off of the bone which meant that Tasha's wrestling career was effectively over for the time being and Tasha disappeared for the next eight months from FWA television.

However she was not idle as Tasha, after having the surgery on her knee and leg, soon found herself doing more work behind the scenes for the FWA and eventually she was able to help land several major contracts that would help the company in the long run by helping to sign up and coming talent such as Lord Thomas Imperious, Jeremiah Snake, and the "Canadian Ninja" Lori Mendoza to contracts as well as helping to book several angles for the promotion as well, eventually moving into the position of Assistant Booker for the FWA as well as essentially becoming the company's Assistant Producer for their "Saturday Night Asylum" shows before it was moved to Thursdays in 2013.

In May of 2014, Natasha was offered a job offer by the last person she expected and soon found herself leaving the FWA after being there for nine years.

## **Time in the International Championship Wrestling Alliance**:

The job offer came from none other than Marcus Alexander Slayton Senior, the man once known internationally as the "Reaver" & Devon's father, who had taken over operations of the company that helped to establish him in the United States in the ICWA, with Tasha being offered the spot of Producer for the Monday "Kingdom" and the Friday "Explosion" shows, which she also helped to book as well by being Co-Booker with Jacob Sikes (FKA "Maverick Storm", the "Shockmaster" Jacob Sikes).

## **Personal Life**:

As previously stated, Tasha was once engaged to fellow Dark Circle member Devon Slayton during their time in the Omega Wrestling Alliance/Entertainment promotion in the 2000s with the relationship ending on an unknown yet sour note. She also dated Zach Hunter for two years, but is currently single.

However this did not effect her relationship with the larger Slayton Dynasty within the Summit Wrestling Alliance as a whole as she was the Producer and Co-Booker for Marcus Senior's ICWA promotion and later still the Commissioner of the Pro Wrestling Nova promotion by its owner, Chris Slayton.

She is a card carrying supporter of her hometown rugby team in the Auckland Blues and has lifetime tickets to their matches due to her public support of them over the years.
