Indie Watch is our regular series that looks at all of the amazing talent working the independent circuits around the world. Some are veterans revitalizing their careers, some are indie prospects hitting their peaks, while others are names to be on the watch for! This edition looks at one of the women who star with the UK’s Pro Wrestling EVE, “The All American Canadian” Addy Starr, who returned to wrestling after a two year hiatus.<\/em><\/p>\n

Born in Guelph, Ontario, a small city about an hour west of Toronto, Addy Starr<\/strong> began wrestling at the age of 17 years old when an ex-boyfriend thought she’d do well in the indie death matches, which he himself was working. “I actually didn’t grow up watching wrestling, so I never had personas that I imagined before I started training,” she said in an AMA on Reddit<\/a> in 2012. “I was introduced to it at the age of 17 when I was actually brought to a training school and put in the ring without really knowing anything about it.” Debuting in 2005, she took to the new sport. “He decided it would be a great idea for me to do the same so I could get over really quickly. I was inexperienced, so I just went along with it,” she said in the AMA. “Luckily, it worked, and I got over, but I soon realized I was also a good wrestler, and didn’t have to just rely on the hardcore stuff to be respected.”<\/p>\n
