Julie Somers

Julie has a lean-athletic build, long, brown, wavy hair (she pulls it behind her head when wrestling) and brown eyes. She wears a red halter top and matching Spandex shorts that come just above her knees. She also wears red kneepads and white wrestling boots.

Julie Somers is the niece of Eric Somers, former UWF, MBC and AWA wrestler. Julie made regular appearances alongside her fraternal twin brother Howie in MBC when they were teenagers and Eric wrestled there, so she was exposed to the business at an early age. She wanted to become a pro wrestler, too, and learned the basics from Sarah Sharpe, who worked as a manager at the time. Julie made her pro wrestling debut at the age of 18, focusing mainly on independent promotions where her brother also competed. At the age of 19, she and Howie debuted in MBC as the masked tag team called The Chromosomes. They competed under the masks for many months, winning the MBC tag team championship, and they were unmasked on the final MBC show.

She and Howie then pursued wrestling opportunities on the independent scene, sticking mostly to the New England Wrestling Association based out of Massachusetts, that promoted smaller shows in the New England area. Because intergender wrestling had been limited to cult promotions, Julie now focused on singles wrestling and had a run of success.

Her brother got a call from Sarah Sharpe, now working in the AWA front office as a talent scout, inquiring about Howie's availability for the tag team division. Howie settled with Daniel Harper as his tag team partner and Julie agreed to become their manager, but secretly longed for the opportunity to wrestle again.

After seeing Miyuki Ozaki challenge anyone to a match at Rising Sun Showdown 2, Julie wasn't sure what to make of it. She didn't think much about responding, but watched as Melissa Cannon did and put on a show fans wouldn't forget. After seeing Melissa plead for the AWA to finally launch a women's division, Julie knew what she had to do, and push for the same, especially because of her desire to prove she can represent the next generation of women’s wrestlers.

Since the AWA officially launched its women's division, Julie has made her mark. She earned the right to face Charisma Knight at SuperClash VII and avenged an earlier loss, pinning the bigger and more experienced wrestler, and formed a tag team with Melissa Cannon that was largely popular with the fanbase.

Her opportunity to become the first ever AWA Women's champion saw her get a late entry into the first women's Rumble match, but after she eliminated Erica Toughill, Julie was eliminated when Erica pulled down the top rope. That led to a heated rivalry, in which Erica assaulted a number of women out of anger over her perception that Julie had earned her laurels because promoters liked her more.

After Erica injured one of Julie's mentors, "Lady Lightning" Lori Wilson, Julie agreed to face Erica on her terms. At SuperClash VIII, the two met in a falls count anywhere match, in which Julie overcame a lot of punishment and pulled out a victory, finishing off Erica after a moonsault off the stage.

Since SuperClash VIII, Julie has formed a friendship and partnership with Victoria June, then a friendship with actress Gal Gadot, that led to her and June teaming up at Memorial Day Mayhem, with Gadot in their corner. They came out with a win, followed by Julie becoming among the many who made her stand against Kurayami. The Spitfire, in her pursuit of the Women's World title, teamed with Melissa Cannon to face Kurayami and Violence Jacobs in a tag team match, in which Julie got the pin over Kurayami.

Though Julie failed to win the title in a match against Kurayami at Estrellas en el Cielo, she continued to push for a rematch, earning one when she defeated Lauryn Rage in a steel cage match on Fight Night on Fox. That set up the match between Kurayami and The Spitfire at SuperClash IX, a hard-fought match between the two in which Julie realized her goal -- winning the AWA Women's World title.

Having cemented her status as one of the top women in the AWA, The Spitfire now looks to new challenges on the horizon, all while encouraging every girl who admires her to live their dream.

1. Great agility and light on her feet
2. Great conditioning and can go the distance.
3. Energetic... she'll come at you with everything she has.

1. She can't brawl, though she may try, and that can put her in a bad position.
2. She may not always think before going for an impact move.
3. She's not particularly good at mat wrestling.

[The voice of Shakira comes in over the PA system.]
"Oh oh oh oh oh"
[That signals the start of her song "Try Everything" from the movie Zootopia. Then you see one word flash up on the videoscreen, red lettering on a white background.
"SPITFIRE"
That's followed by three words, also in red lettering.
"LIVE THE DREAM"
The fans cheer as those words alternate on the videoscreen.]
RA: Hailing from Boston, Massachusetts and weighing 135 pounds... ladies and gentlemen, she is "THE SPITFIRE" JULIE SOMERS!
[Julie Somers emerges from the entranceway. She wears a red halter top with matching Spandex shorts that come just above her knees, red kneepads and white wrestling boots. Somers also wears a red cape.
She stands at the top of the ramp, then spreads her arms diagonally upward, then motions with her hands to encourage the cheering fans.
After a moment, the Spitfire heads down the ramp and aisle, reaching out to slap hands with fans. Upon reaching the ring, she slides underneath the ropes, rolling to her feet and heading to the corner. She climbs onto the second turnbuckle and raises her arms, once more motioning with her hands to encourage the fans' cheers.
Somers then hops down from the turnbuckles and removes her cape, handing it to a ringside attendant.]
