Official Women Of Wrestling (OWOW) - Indie Tracy Brooks Home Page

Having born two sons, Traci Brooks' (Tracy Brookshaw) mother was pleasantly surprised when her newest was a baby girl. Thinking it would be nice having someone to dress up and bake cookies with mom eventually discovered Tracy had other ideas and directions in mind for herself.

Raised in the little town of St. Mary's in Canada, Tracy worked on her parents pig and chicken farm, while exploring the world of sports and other 'tomboy' stuff. Still she managed to keep a very feminine side to herself and during her college years she won the Toronto Sunshine Calendar Contest and was named Miss June 2000.

The wrestling 'bug' bit her at a young age, while she was viewing a WWF Saturday Night Main Event broadcast in the 6th grade. Miss Elizabeth escorted her man Randy "Macho Man" Savage out and then just stood at ringside "clapping and looking good in a dress!" Tracy knew that there had to be a bigger and better role for women in professional wrestling.

She went on to train in Ron Hutchison's Pro-Wrestling gym in Toronto, Ontario, Canada where she learned all she could, including some extremely athletic moves such as the Tilt-A-Whirl Headscissors and the Hurricanranna - her two favorites.

Brooks appeared with numerous independent promotions, including Border City Wrestling and the Apocalypse Wrestling Federation. During her time in AWF, she worked a program feuding with Gail Kim (then known as La Felina). On August 30, 2001, Brookshaw(as Miss Apocalypse defeated Joey Knight to win the AWF heavyweight title.

Brooks debuted in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling on April 30, 2003 in Catholic schoogirl apparel, attacking Lollipop, a dancer who entertained the live audience during intermissions. The following week, Brooks demanded to be entered in a gauntlet match in which the winner would receive a shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, threatening to sue NWA official Bill Behrens for sexual discrimination if he did not comply. When her threats failed, Brooks instead attempted to charm Behrens into allowing her into the match. Behrens then placed Brooks in a triple threat match with fellow female wrestlers Desire and Trinity, with the winner gaining entry into the gauntlet match. After Kid Kash ambushed Trinity and David Young accidentally punched Desire, Brooks won the match. Later that evening, she was attacked by Lollipop as she approached the ring to enter the gauntlet match. After she entered the ring, Brooks was quickly pinned and eliminated by Kid Kash.

On the June 18, 2003 TNA pay-per-view, Brooks formed an all-female stable known as "Bitchslap" with Nurse Veronica and Valentina. The stable quietly disbanded shortly thereafter when Veronica turned down a proffered TNA contract and Brooks was removed from television for repackaging.

Brooks returned to TNA on November 5, 2003, helping Shane Douglas defeat The Sandman. On November 26, Douglas and Brooks (known now simply as Traci) helped Michael Shane defeat Sonjay Dutt. Following the match, the trio celebrated, and Douglas announced that they were to be called "The New Franchise".

In late-2004, Traci turned face by becoming the assistant of the TNA Director of Authority, Dusty Rhodes. However, Trinity also wanted to be Rhodes' assistant, so he told each woman to recruit a new tag team. The teams would face one another at Destination X 2005 on March 13, 2005, with the winning team's manager becoming Rhodes' sole assistant. Traci's team "the Disciples of Destruction" defeated Trinity's team "Phi Delta Slam", making her Rhodes' assistant.

Traci began managing Shane once again and stayed with him when he changed his name to his real name, Matt Bentley. When Bentley sat out during contract renegotiations in August 2005, she did some interview work for TNA. At Unbreakable on September 11, Traci acted as a backstage interviewer throughout the event.

On the May 15th, 2006 taping of iMPACT!, she wrestled Gail Kim in the first woman's match in over a year. The match was taped purely for the forthcoming TNA Knockouts DVD and not for the Spike TV program. Gail Kim gained the pin after interference from America's Most Wanted. At Hardcore War 2006 she defeated Gail Kim with Christy Hemme as referee.

Traci was announced as Robert Roode's manager at Bound for Glory 2006, and now goes by the name "Ms. Brooks."
