Professional wrestling career
World Championship Wrestling (2000)
In 1999 after Hunter appeared in Playboy, she was hired by World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as a member of the nWo girls.35 Along with four other models (Tylene Buck, Kim Kanner (Shakira), Midajah and Pamela Paulshock), she accompanied members of the nWo to ringside for their matches.
Independent circuit (2001–2007, 2009-present)
Hunter trained to become a professional wrestler with Killer Kowalski in Boston.3 She was the only female in the class and soon began working on the independent circuit and overseas. Hunter formed a tag team with fellow Kowalski graduate Nikki Roxx in World Xtreme Wrestling known as The Killer Babes.6
On August 28, 2002, Hunter appeared for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). She was introduced (and defeated) by then-Miss TNA Bruce as part of his Miss TNA Challenge.1 She returned for several other appearances in TNA, including matches against Desire, Eric Watts and John Walters.1
She then worked as the manager for Slyck Wagner Brown. Together they held both Pro-Pain Pro Wrestling's 3PW Tag Team Championship and Jersey All Pro Wrestling's JAPW Tag Team Championship. April was the first female in pro wrestling history to hold the (male) tag team title.
She traveled to Canada for the first time in December 2005, working for Action Wrestling Entertainment and wrestling against Sarah Stock.7 In February 2006, Hunter worked for Carmen Electra's Naked Women's Wrestling League (NWWL).8 While in the NWWL, Hunter broke her nose, which limited the moves she could perform while working for the promotion.8
In Women's Extreme Wrestling (WEW) in April 2006, Hunter formed a tag team known as T & A with Talia Madison.1 On April 6, they defeated Team Blondage (Amber O'Neal and Lollipop) for the WEW Tag Team Championship.1 A month later, Hunter andJ.D. Maverick debuted together for TNT Pro Wrestling.9 In September, Hunter challenged Madison for her TNT Women's Championship.9 She defeated her for the title on September 23.1 During her time in TNT, Hunter appeared in the Glamour, Glitz & Divas—The Untold Story of American Women's Wrestling DVD, alongside Madison and Michaels.10
Hunter won Queens of Chaos's World Queens of Chaos Championship in November 2006 by defeating Sweet Saraya in the final round of a championship tournament.1 She also won Great Canadian Wrestling's GCW W.I.L.D. Championship from Miss Danyah on April 13, 2007.11 She held the title for one day before losing it to Cherry Bomb in a four-way match.11 Because of wrestling-related injuries, however, Hunter retired from professional wrestling later in the year.3
In late 2009 Hunter came back from her retirement and returned to the ring. Her mother was diagnosed with stage four cancer and her return to the ring was to help out financially.12 Hunter toured Europe with American Rampage Wrestling between November and December 2009 with Rob Van Dam, Sid Eudy (aka Sid Vicious) and Sabu.
