description About

Right out of high school, Heather Owens began her training at Les Thatcher's Main Event Pro Wrestling Camp in Evendale, Ohio in 2002. After only a few months, she left due to personal reasons. In May 2005, Owens returned to the wrestling ring and started training under Ronnie Longworth at Queen City Wrestling in Mt. Healthy, Ohio. She was only training for a few months before she became a referee. She left Queen City Wrestling in December 2005 and went back to Heartland Wrestling Association (HWA) to train under Cody Hawk. Heartland Wrestling Association (2005–2007) On December 30, 2005, Owens defeated 70+ men and women in her first match at the HWA World War III Battle Royal, one being veteran Helena Heavenly, which lead to Owens first singles bout. Though Owens fought hard, she was no match for Heavenly at HWA "Cold As Ice" on January 21, 2006. Owens went on wrestling and refereeing for HWA all through 2006 in which she wrestled both females and males. Her biggest feud was with Nevaeh. On March 10, 2007, Owens defeated Nevaeh in a bloody "Leather, Whips, & Chains" match at HWA "Cyber Clash 2.0". World Wrestling Coalition (2009–present) On March 14, 2009, Owens debuted in a singles bout against Super Oprah at "King of Extreme" in Aberdeen, Ohio where she won with a tornado DDT. She feuded off and on with Kara Kildare through 2009 but on February 13, 2010, Owens masked herself and became known as "Malo Pescado" so she could wrestle guys. Finally on October 9, 2010, Malo unmasked herself in a match against Eddie Gonzales and got the win. After months of proving that she can be a part of the men's division, Owens got a shot at the WWC North American Championship which was being held by Jimmy Mallory. During the match, Owens faked an injury and while the ref was checking on her, Eddie Gonzales hit Mallory with the belt and Heather picked up the victory and the belt. Owens is the first women to hold the World Wrestling Coalition North American Championship.
