Electra Hellswing

Wrestling Attire

Electra Hellswing (aka Claudia Vroomen) is a hardcore wrestler currently signed to the Waifu Wrestling Alliance. With a long history of both lucha libre and hardcore wrestling, Electra seeks to bring her experience to a global audience.

## Early Life

Claudia Vroomen was born the second of five children in her family, her family having moved from the Netherlands to live in Belgium. Her Dutch father, Roger, ended up taking the unlikely route of becoming a professional wrestler after an unfulfilling career in the postal service. Her Sicilian mother, Francesca, cared for the household while he was away. Acting as Rockin’ Rog Vroomer, the carny wrestling business gave his family enough to make ends meet, but ultimately, it was not enough to keep Roger and his wife together. They would divorce in the 1990’s, around the time Claudia was born.

With her family separated, Claudia followed in her father’s footsteps, helping him with his trade wherever he went. The turn of the century allowed Claudia to begin learning how to wrestle, something she struggled with and took years to learn. Rather, she wished to become a writer, taking inspiration from her favorite book, Dracula by Bram Stoker. Deciding to choose for her, Roger would bestow upon Claudia the ring name “Electra Hellswing.”

Electra, despite her limited abilities, became a hit in her home state, depicting a fervent, religious crusader. She was best known for the Hellswing, a giant swing move that challenged her to rotate her opponent around as many times as she could, with her highest count being at one-hundred and nine. However, Electra quickly became tired of the constant shows for chump change, and ended up leaving home at the age of eighteen. Her father assumed she was going off to college in an American student exchange program, but instead, she traveled to Mexico to learn Lucha Libre.

## Wrestling Career, Pre-WWA

In Mexico, Claudia joined Consejo Esposa de Lucha Libre (CELL), and slowly adapted the high-flying style of lucha libre while maintaining her character of an inquisitorial foreigner. She became friends with Lula Salgado, aka La Misquita; initially rivals, the two came to respect each other, and put on high-quality matches. All of this changed on Lula’s birthday; at the end of the match, La Misquita was meant to lose after going through an announcer’s table, but when it did not break on the first try, Lula was adamant that Claudia should put her through by any means necessary, resulting in Lula shattering her spine. The experience branded Electra Hellswing as an unsafe worker, despite it being Lula’s demand to appease the audience.

While the two remained friends following the incident, Claudia and Lula were unable to see each other in-person. Claudia was soon hounded by local papers about being a U.S.-born wrestler made to deliberately injure up-and-coming lucha libre blue chippers. Three months after the end of Lula’s in-ring career, Claudia packed her things and returned to the United States.

Returning to the United States, Claudia toured across various indie promotions in the country, often delivering her signature Hellswing to a variety of opponents. She was once rumored to have been part of a short-lived hardcore promotion known as Global Bloodshed Hellfights, where most of its matches took place in a run-down church and focused on copious amounts of blading and blasphemy. While she does not talk about her hardcore history much, her public image is solidified as a technical-based wrestler with a few lucha moves in her sleeves. Outside of wrestling, she is a practicing member of an undisclosed Christian church, and makes frequent donations to it. She is also becoming known for her acts of vigilantism against various shady businesses, such as "movie-makers" who attempted to use poorer members of society, such as Robyn McDaid, for their own means.

## WWA Career

At the start of May, Electra made her WWA debut, making the Prayer to St. Michael before she revealed herself, and declared she would be pursuing the Hardcore Championship. She then faced off against her old rival La Misquita in the ring, earning her first victory in the company. After being called out by Ava Mortis for her faith, Electra responded in agreement to an Extreme Rules match, which she won through two Giant Swings applied to the Norwegian pagan. This allowed Electra to qualify for the Hardcore Championship Clusterfork, facing off against other hardcore (and not so hardcore) wrestlers for the title. She was able to follow up with another victory, teaming with Cactus Jane to defeat Dia Shirley Burroughs and Robyn McDaid. This victory streak soon ended, at the Clusterfork, where she was pinned by Keron Croakie.

As she made infrequent appearances around Spaghetti Town, she reappeared during Onsen a Lifetime, selling her wares. She would make two more in-ring appearances, one against the lunatical Kasumi O'Brien, and another against Cassandra Kade, earning her a win and a loss respectively. Further plans would have resulted in her facing off against Cassie, as a matter of purity versus hedonism between two members of the faith, but it was abruptly cut short due to internal issues within the WWA.

Since then, Electra has made a modest living off of training Spaghetti Town enthusiasts about HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts), and very few buyers for her Christian Bible store. Time will tell if she will ever return to the WWA.
