Forte Model's Model Spotlight: Valerie W
Forte Models is proud to represent Valerie W. Aside from being a great model in all genres of the business, Valerie is best known as an American professional wrestling valet, So Cal Val. She is currently signed to TNA Wrestling. After she was "discovered" while attending a local wrestling event, Valerie W debuted on March 30, 2002 for the Golden State Championship Wrestling independent promotion as the manager of Pinoy Boy, who she promptly betrayed by berating him after he was defeated by Scott Lost and then leaving with Lost. She appeared for several other promotions in Southern California before her family moved across the country to Orlando, Florida when she was sixteen. Valerie developed the character of So Cal Val, a wealthy, petulant, ruthless heel.
In addition to working for multiple independent promotions, Valerie has appeared with World Wrestling Entertainment, modelling a John Cena t-shirt on WWE.com and appearing on WWE SmackDown! as part of a vignette featuring Luther Reigns. She regularly appears with the Orlando based promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, working variously as a ring girl, spokesmodel, merchandise model and interviewer. She appeared at the TNA No Surrender 2005 pay-per-view on July 17, 2005 alongside ring announcer Jeremy Borash, and is currently an interviewer on TNA Global iMPACT!.
Valerie W continues to work for promotions throughout Southern California, most prominently Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, where she was the commissioner at one point. In July 2006, Valerie was contacted by Playboy about doing a spread for the magazine. She commented about it on her MySpace blog, saying: "It's a very serious thing to consider and the jury is still out on how I am going to handle this one. I've spoken to the people in my life whose opinions I value most, and each has been very supportive. For that I am grateful....but this is one I'm going to have to decide all on my own." She would end up declining the offer.
In August of 2006, So Cal Val officially signed with TNA - which means she will appear more frequently on television, and be involved in more storylines. On August 18, 2006 So Cal Val got kicked out by the Women Extreme Wrestling promotion at their PPV Tapings event Twisted Steel and Sex Appeal. On the December 14, 2006 episode of iMPACT, Kurt Angle dragged her in the ring and threatened to break her ankle until Jim Cornette talked him into letting her go. On the March 8, 2007 episode of iMPACT, So Cal Val got injured after receiving the Black Hole Slam from Abyss.
As you can see, Valerie is enjoying a very exciting and interesting career. Please call Don at 407-465-0300 if you need a gorgeous redhead for your next event, convention or print campaign. Valerie is, and this pun is intended, a serious knockout. www.orlandomodelagent.com
