Courtney Rush is the stage name of a Canadian female professional wrestler. She has worked for promotions such as BSE Pro, BCW, Maximum Pro Wrestling, NCW Femmes Fatales and SHIMMER Women Athletes. She currently co-holds the SHIMMER Tag Team Championship with Sara Del Rey.

Early life

Rush grew up in Stonewall, Manitoba and attended University of Manitoba where her major was film studies. After graduation, she decided to follow-up on a childhood interest in pro wrestling and attended Scott D'Amore's school in Windsor in May 2007 where she was taught by Tyson Dux and Johnny Devine as well as D'Amore. She initially used the name P.J. Tyler (reflecting her love of Aerosmith) but later changed it to Courtney Rush.[2]

Professional Wrestling Career

Early career

She made her debut in Pro Wrestling for PTW on January 30, 2008 in a losing effort against Haley Rogers as Casey Maguire. Two months later, on March 28, 2008, she changed her name to PJ Tyler and got her first victory against Haley Rogers, this time wrestling for RSW. She was scheduled to take the position of Jennifer Blake as PWX Commissioner but her position was taken by "Danger Boy" Derek Wylde in a controversial way. She soon started a feud with Haley Rogers during a tag team with Jennifer Blake against the same Haley Rogers and Jade Chung. During this contest she broke Haley's nose and she aggravated this injury during a single contest the following week. Those two athletes met different times during the 2008 and GLORY Wrestling dedicated them an article about the match that took place on September 12, 2008.[3] During the first part of 2009 she competed in different matches with Cherry Bomb, Jennifer Blake and Holly Hilton, including a match with Amazing Kong that she wasn't able to win. On the day of her 26th birthday she was able to win her first title in career defeating Deanna Conda in the final of the WILD Tournament 2009 to win the GCW W.I.L.D. Championship.[4]

NCW Femmes Fatales

Rush (as PJ Tyler) debuted for NCW Femmes Fatales on February 6, 2010. At the beginning she was scheduled to take on Kacey Diamond but plans were changed and she teamed with Mary Lee Rose to take on the team of Anna Minoushka and Anastasia Ivy. She was able to hit with her finishing manouvre but the team of Anna and Anastasia got the win via pinfall.[5] Due to her being the current WILD Champion she is entering the first ever NCW FF Tournament for the NCW Femmes Fatales Championship. In the first round she faced Portia Perez in a first time ever match but was unable to score the win.[6] In October 2010, Rush defeated Cat Power and Sassy Stephie in a triple threat match.[7]

In March 2011, Rush (now appearing as Courtney Rush) defeated Cat Power in a street-fight.[8] At the July 2011 card, Rush faced Madison Eagles in the semi-main event but lost to her.[2][9] In October 2011, she faced and defeated Kellie Skater.[10]

SHIMMER Women Athletes

PJ Tyler was announced to debut for SHIMMER on March 22, 2010 on the SHIMMER Board.[11] She made her first appearance for SHIMMER Women Athletes as part of the SPARKLE Division on April 10, 2010. During the SPARKLE Match she was defeated by Anna Minoushka. She made also a second appearance as part of the SPARKLE the following day teaming with Leva Bates defeating the team of Anna Minoushka and She Nay Nay.[12]

In March 2011, she faced Mena Libra,[13] Daizee Haze[14] and Kellie Skater[15] as Courtney Rush as part of the main SHIMMER division but lost to all three. At the next set of tapings in October 2011, Rush faced Yumi Ohka,[16] Nikki Roxx[17] and Sara Del Rey,[18] where Rush picked up a win against Roxx but lost to the other two wrestlers. After two wins on March 17, 2012 over Rhia O'Reilly and Sassy Stephie, on March 18, Rush formed a tag team with Sara Del Rey, first defeating Regeneration X, and then winning a four-way match to become the new Shimmer Tag Team Champions.[19]
