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 a rising star in the Texas indie scene who has become a staple on the hardcore circuit in the one and only Allie Kat.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In early 2019, rising indie star <strong>Allie Kat<\/strong> declared she was taking a hiatus. Following a hard break-up with another pro wrestler, she had decided to work on herself and remove herself from the industry to work on her mental health and home situation. But just weeks later, a chance debut with <strong>Game Changer Wrestling (GCW)<\/strong> made her refind her love for the game and in the past year, she has broken out as a national indie star in the US with unlimited potential. Oh, and her hardcore game is on point.<\/p>\n<p>Allie Kat began in the wrestling scene in 2015, when she began training in her native Texas. It was early on that she discovered her Allie Kat persona. &#8220;I trained in Austin with <strong>George De La Isla<\/strong> and he\u2019s very old school,&#8221; she told Smark to Death <a href=\"https:\/\/smarktodeath.com\/2019\/07\/19\/allie-kat-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in an interview last year.<\/a> &#8220;He comes to form the 70\u2019s, 80\u2019s, that time. He would say \u2018you guys just wanna put on kick pads and be wrestlers. Well, you gotta have a gimmick.\u2019 So, everybody at the school at a gimmick. We had a cowboy, we had an Irish guy, things like that. So, when we had girls in the school it was like \u2018oh, what are we gonna make the girls.\u2019 And then he comes up to me and goes \u2018Allie, I got an idea. Tell me what you think about this. Tell me what you think about Allie Kat.\u2019 And he\u2019s my trainer, I\u2019m not gonna tell him no, I\u2019m gonna do what my trainer tells me and literally that was it. I\u2019m gonna make do with what George gave me. I was like, I\u2019m gonna literally be a cat then. The next week he came up to me and then said \u2018alright, maybe if you don\u2019t like Allie Kat tell me what you think about this\u2026 Allie Kazaam.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018I think I\u2019m gonna stick with Allie Kat, George.\u2019\u201d She would start out in regional indies, working at places like <strong>River City Wrestling (RCW)<\/strong> in San Antonio and Austin&#8217;s <strong>Total Championship Wrestling (TCW)<\/strong>. In 2016, she won the RCW Women&#8217;s Championship.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Allie Kat vs. Laynie Luck vs. Delilah Doom - RCW Angels Title | RCW - River City Wrestling\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GGBR9_jp3EE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In 2016, she made the jump into the top indies in the Texas circuit, including <strong>Anarchy Championship Wrestling (ACW), Inspire Pro, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UdMRg1lm_Qc\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WrestleCircus<\/a><\/strong>, and others, working with other Texas indie stars like <strong>Thunder Rosa, Angel Blue, Jessica James, Christi Jaynes<\/strong>, and <strong>Laynie Luck<\/strong>.

This is what keeps me sane and this is what makes me happy. I love all these locker rooms I am in, I love these fans that I meet. I was like, yeah there is no way I\u2019m taking any time off&#8230;I\u2019m not gonna lie, on Thursday I went into GCW and I said, \u2018look guys, I\u2019m ready to do dumb stuff [in the ring]. I\u2019m not in a good place.\u2019 So, I said yes to everything. I wasn\u2019t going to get in my head, I\u2019m gonna say yes to everything and we\u2019re gonna do whatever.
