Editing Joanne Steel Expanded History

==Background:==
Joanne Steel was born on the 24th August 1985 and was born and raised in the Queens district of New York. Joanne was not a big wrestling fan growing up and although aware of it had shown little inclination to become involved in it. It wasn't until she attended a roadshow event held by a independent promotion in Liberty Bay, Oregon that Joanne saw her first professional wrestling event. She first became interested in actually becoming a wrestler after a online war of words on Twitter with the then VAW Women's Champion 'Queen' Gina Rose culminating in Rose and her entourage visiting Santa Ramona Valley, California where Joanne currently resides to further inflame the situation between her and Gina. Another exchange of words ensued and this ended with the threat of violence and saw Joanne (who had a permit to carry in Santa Ramona) pull out her handgun in self defence hastening the decision by Rose and her entourage to flee the area. After this things seemed to quieten for a time until the war of worlds on Twitter started up not too long after. Knowing the only way to shut Rose up was going to be to beat her at her own game Joanne resolved that she would try to pursue a career in wrestling for the chance to finally face her one on one.

==Early Career:==
===VAW (Virtual Attitude Wrestling)===
Gina Rose was employed by Virtual Attitude Wrestling (VAW) and so Joanne contacted the company secretly to sign up to their training school, with a view she hoped of being able to be good enough to eventually make it into a professional wrestling ring and one day shut up her mouthy adversary. Joanne was trained by Victory Muller and Pasta Lopez. At this time VAW Owner Henry Parker was looking to create a new path for the company and VAW transitioned, breaking away from the history of the company to forge their legacy when owner Henry Parker & Pinky Devon folded VAW and started a new phoenix promotion, Rogue Wrestling Alliance (RAW), retaining the then current in-ring talent and backstage staff.
===RWA (Rogue Wrestling Alliance):===
Joanne would continue her training with Rogue though she was not prepared for just how much work it would be and how much time and effort she would need to give to get herself in shape for the rigors of performing. Behind the scenes over the weeks the relationship between RWA management and Gina Rose had increasingly soured and it all came to a head as Gina chose to leave the company to join another promotion. Joanne was livid still seeking revenge against Gina and made the decision to leave RWA to would follow the self proclaimed 'Queen' to Digital Championship Wrestling Federation (DCWF) where she hoped to be able to continue her training with the aim to eventually get that all elusive match against Gina Rose. Later on Joanne would admit regretting the way she left and that she wished she had of stayed.

==DCWF (Digital Championship Wrestling Federation)==
Steel joined the DCWF . She would be employed with the company for 16 months up to early October 2020.

== Leaving DCWFedit | edit source ==

===Leaving DCWF===
Steel made sporadic appearances after the FPV and failed to win any of her remaining matches with the company. On 13th October 2020 Joanne Steel announced that she had left DCWF, after a disagreement with a booker who had gone on an expletive laden rant against her in a private meeting. Steel having had previously behind the scenes issues with the same person and had already quit once because of them, this time however she completely severed ties with the company stating that

'''''"I liked and respected Numbers Rossini, and I never wanted to leave the DCWF but I could not stay there any longer while certain unprofessional people were negatively controlling and manipulating my destiny behind the scenes."'''''

After meeting with officials from the company, Steel officially signed a contract to join [https://slwrestling.fandom.com/wiki/Premier_Wrestling_(PW) Premier Wrestling]

==Premier Wrestling==

Joanne Steel signed a contract to join Premier Wrestling on 15th October  2020. She was quoted as saying that with two episodes left of Season 7, she would be using her time till the start of Season 8 to prepare for the new challenge ahead of her as she tries to make a name for herself with her new employer.

'''''"It was like a dream come true, I walked in and I saw all these huge names in our sport that I recognized from watching Premier's shows and I was made to feel welcome. I feel more inspired and more motivated than before and while I know there is going to be a lot of hard work ahead I'm looking forward to that challenge."'''''

'''''"There's two shows left of Season 7 and then a break before Season 8 begins so I'll be using this time to get to the gym and preparing myself for the challenges that lays ahead for me as I attempt to make a name for myself in Premier."'''''

In the last weeks of October and early weeks of November 2020 Steel did as stated and used the down time between seasons to get back in ring shape after a period of time away from the ring and now well over a month since her last documented match and nearly another month since the match before. Steel has set herself the goal of trying to be ready so she can make her Premier debut at a house show. It is also rumoured that Steel may possibly make her onscreen debut during the 8th Season of Premier Wrestling popular weekly television show having already implied an interest in the Premier Wrestling Women's Title held by Rebel Sweetheart.

Joanne Steel made her in-ring debut for Premier Wrestling on Sunday 22nd November 2020 at an 'Unplugged' House Show, from Pink Moon Garden. In the opening match of the night Joanne would lose to Mizu Sayuri in a Steel Cage match when Mizu Sayuri escaped the cage to win the match.  On Twitter Joanne would demand a rematch for the following weeks 'Unplugged' at Eternal Knights. Mizu accepted the rematch and on Saturday 28th November Joanne would defeat Mizu via pin-fall after the 'Steel Trap'.

On December 3rd 2020 in the first episode of Season 8 Joanne Steel competed in a losing effort as part of the Main Event match against current Premier Women's Heavyweight Champion Rebel Sweetheart.  On Saturday 5th December at Premier's 'Unplugged' House Show Joanne faced Izzy Baum in a hard fought match, applying the Kirifuda Driver to gain the victory by submission. On Episode 2 of Season 8 Joanne Steel defeated Jasmine Tryce.  She then faced Honey Potts in a match she'd lose at the "Unplugged" House Show on December 12th .  18th December at "Unplugged" in a return match from a previous show and after some back and forth on Twitter Joanne would lose to Izzy Baum, the following week she was interviewed in a backstage segment during Episode 3 where she issued a challenge to both Jasmine Thryce and Rebel Sweetheart (who had just been defeated by her) for a triple threat match the following episode.

It was announced that the match on Episode 4 (30th December) would be a two on one handicap match, Joanne Steel and Jasmine Thyce vs Rebel Sweetheart.  All three women were in the ring and the match was just about to start when Izzy Baum came out, saying she had spoken to the boking committee, accepted Rebel's apology and would now team with her against Joanne and Jasmine, in a tag-team match that they would win when Rebel Sweetheart pinned Jasmine Thyce.

On 14th January on Episode 6 of Season 8, Joanne Steel defeated Honey Potts in a very competitive back and forth match, Joanne eventually managing to finally defeat Honey, after numerous attempts by both women to gain the victory.  On 16th January at the "Unplugged" House Show Joanne Steel faced Mizu Sayuri in a much anticipated match given the continuing war of words between Joanne and Mizu's translator Paul Slater, going back to her debut in November. The match was part of the tournament for the new Unplugged Extreme Women's title.

Joanne would go to the ring with Siegfried Montgomery Falkenrath (SMF) in her corner, anticipating that Mizu would bring Paul Slater to the ring in her corner. this plan however backfired as Paul Slater took to the stage and said he had asked for a special guest referee, none other than "The Knave" Declan Navarro, someone Joanne has a war of words with on Twitter, and who was involved in a heated rivalry with SMF, after 'The Knave' had hit him with a beer bottle during a SMF match he had interfered in a few of weeks earlier.

The match went back and forth, with 'The Knave' counting slow for Joanne when she attempted a pin but ten counting faster when it was for Mizu. This happened throughout the match much to Joanne's and SMF's annoyance till finally the two women ended up outside where Joanne and Mizu fought up the ramp. Joanne would put Mizu in the Kirifuda Driver making her pass out but the referee ('The Knave') fast counted to count both women out while in the ring SMF hung Paul Slater in the Tree Of Woe in the corner, removing his pants and exposing Slater's pink panties.

General Manager Dante would come out, unimpressed with the outcome of the match and declare that as Vi Winchester needed an opponent in the final, both women would qualify for the match the following Tuesday and the match would now become a triple threat hardcore match for the Unplugged Extreme Women's Title.

==Unplugged Extreme Women's Champion==
On the 19th January Joanne Steel, Mizu Sayuri and Izzy Baum competed in a triple threat no disqualification hardcore match to decide the first Unplugged Extreme Women's Champion.  The match was originally set to include Vi Winchester but she was viciously attacked by Izzy Baum at the top of the ramp as Mizu and Joanne were stood in the ring, and she called out GM Dante, demanding she be allowed to replace Vi (who received medical treatment for the vicious beating with a sledgehammer and was taken on a gurney to the back to receive further medical treatment), a request Dante agreed to.
[[File:Joanne_Title_01.png|alt=|right|325x325px]]

<nowiki> </nowiki>The match was a hard fought match with Mizu and Izzy teaming up on their mutual enemy Joanne however the alliance broke down as Mizu tried to claim the title by pinning Joanne.  The match would end with Joanne setting up a table outside, putting Izzy on the table and her hitting a Shooting Star Press from the top turnbuckle sending herself and Izzy through the table, before sending her back into the ring for her Coney Island wonder Wheel and the three count for Joanne to become the first ever Unplugged Extreme Women's Champion. 

On Friday 22nd January Joanne faced Izzy Baum in the final of the tournament to decide the number one contender for the Premier Wrestling Women's World Title, currently held by Rebel Sweetheart, Izzy would win the match via submission and post match confronted Rebel, who was in the audience ahead of their match in the Season 8 finale (Episode 8). Joanne then competed the next day (Saturday 23rd January) in a tag team march at the Unplugged House show where she teamed up with Honey Potts in a match against Abby Henderson and Izzy Baum which they would lose when Abby Henderson pinned Honey Potts. 

After the end of the season Joanne's next match would be on the 7th February Edition of "Unplugged" from Port Chacona where she would face off against Abby Henderson, at the start of the show it was announced by GM Dante that he wanted fighting champions and if Joanne lost to Abby she would have to defend her Unplugged Extreme Women's Title on the next show.  Izzy Baum was the match official as Joanne Steel lost to Abby Henderson.  Abby clotheslined Joanne out of the ring and while the ref checked on a Joanne who was busted open after hitting the announcers table, Abby removed the turnbuckle pad, keeping the referee distracted long enough for Abby to hit Joanne with a empty bedpan, Joanne would subsequently be counted out handing Abby the win however Dante came out unimpressed and said Joanne lost and would have to defend the title, however as Abby cheated she would not get the title shot and Joanne would defend the title instead against Izzy.   

On Wednesday 10th February at Pink Moon at the next edition of Unplugged Joanne was scheduled to defend the title against Izzy Baum.  However before the match and while Joanne was in the ring, Abby came out announcing that Izzy would not make the match and she was responsible, also stating that it would be her replacing Izzy.  Commentary quickly received word from the back from GM Dante that Abby would not be getting the title shot and a back-up plan was in place and that a new opponent had be chosen and that opponent was to the crowds surprise and delight, "The Huntress" Nakita.  Joanne struggled against the taller and more powerful opponent and seemed to have an opportunity to win the match when Abby ran out sliding into the ring to attack Joanne and costing Nakita the match as she was disqualified for the interference.  Frustrated by her interference Nakita followed Abby out of the ring and gave her the "Jungle Driver" in retribution for Abby costing her the match.  At Mr. Reds on the next edition of Unplugged on 13th February, Joanne would manage to pull off a victory against Nakita to retain her title after hitting her with numerous moves, and finally using a steel chair to get the unlikely pin fall win.
