Katarina Leigh Waters (born 10 November 1977)[10] is a German-born English American filmmaker, actress, and retiredprofessional wrestler. She is best known for her time withImpact Wrestling under the ring namesKatarina orWinter and for her time inWWE under the ring nameKatie Lea Burchill. She spent many years on theindependent circuit, particularly in theFrontier Wrestling Alliance, where she used the ring nameNikita.
After signing with WWE, she competed in their formerdevelopmental territoryOhio Valley Wrestling, where she became atwo timeWomen's Champion,[11] before being called up to the main roster. After being released from the WWE in April 2010, Waters joined TNA in August 2010, adopting the new ring nameWinter. During her first year in the company, she won both of the promotion's women's championships, first teaming withAngelina Love to win theKnockouts Tag Team Championship in December 2010 and then winning theKnockouts Championship two times in June and August 2011.
At a young age, Waters read an article about the main event ofWrestleMania VI and believed theUltimate Warrior's mysterious origins to be true. When she came to England at 18, she was under the impression that wrestling companies only existed in America until she saw a local show advertised in London. However, the show's style was catered more towardsBritish wrestling thansports entertainment and Waters once again retired thoughts of becoming involved in wrestling until she sawAlex Shane and Dominator onThe Jerry Springer Show with their more outrageous gimmicks and became interested again, seeking out National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) UK Hammerlock and being trained by Jon Ryan. Originally, Waters used the name Kat but afterStacy Carter began using this name in theWorld Wrestling Federation (WWF), she changed her name to Nikita after the television programLa Femme Nikita.[7] After being trained Waters made her debut in February 2000[9] onITV Meridian'sTransAtlantic Wrestling Challenge, a tournament between British and American wrestlers of the NWA where she won the Women's Championship.[7]
After starting her wrestling career, Waters sought theFrontier Wrestling Alliance (FWA) and began training with Alex Shane, who inspired her onThe Jerry Springer Show. With Shane she began hosting a talk radio programme onTalksport which helped FWA gain national notoriety among the wrestling community. Because of her association with the show she was placed on the card for their February 2002 event, Revival, where she lost toLexie Fyfe.[12] However, the match was badly reviewed backstage and Waters began training twice a week to improve herself.[citation needed] To keep exposure while improving her in-ring skills, she began to frequently tag team with fellow newcomer Hade Vansen in mixed tag team matches, including a match against British female veteranSweet Saraya,[12] until August when she impressed with a singles match against Paul Travell. This led to a feud where Travell dominated until the end of 2002[12] but in the first FWA event of 2003 Nikita picked up her first singles victory in the company over Travell and went on a singles winning streak for a month until she lost in her third bout againstAndy Simmons.[13]
While Nikita had become successful as a solo wrestler, however, her rivalry with Travell had escalated when he became part of The Family,[7] a group of villainous wrestlers who becameFWA Tag Team Champions. The feud escalated after Nikita and Shane failed to win the Tag Team Championship a number of times[13] and led to one of Waters' most famous moments in wrestling[7] when, at the Frontiers of Honour co-held with American promotionRing of Honor (ROH) in MayAlex Shane,Ulf Herman, and Nikita took on The Family (Travell, Brandon Thomas, and Scott Parker) in ahardcore six-man tag team match.[13] Though The Family won, Nikita gained notoriety when she jumped from the top tier in the arena onto the ground, landing on The Family and their feud ended. Waters spoke about this moment in Alternative Wrestling Magazine saying "So the crowd saw what I was about to do and started reacting and cheering before I had even done any-thing, and just that moment standing up there in the light and hearing that was, well, let's just say I wanted to stay up there forever".[14] It was later announced to be the tenth most memorable moment of the FWA's first decade in theirYouTube Top 20 Countdown.[15]
With her rivalry against The Family over, Nikita began a new storyline where an anonymousbounty had been put on her head. As she took on all comers trying to claim the bounty, Nikita went undefeated in the rest of 2003[13] and 2004.[16] By June 2004 she had faced and defeated most of the company's major wrestlers which led to the return of the World Association of Wrestling's veteran Sweet Saraya who revealed the bounty had been placed on Nikita by the jealous ring announcer, Jane Childs. Saraya claimed the bounty with a non-sanctioned assault on Nikita, delivering a tombstone piledriver at the Carpe Diem event putting Nikita out of action for months and off the FWA roster for over a year.[17] She returned in October 2005 in a losing effort againstSimply Luscious. She was victorious on the next show in a six-man tag team match, with her and Luscious on opposing teams.[18] Though Nikita would not wrestle after this point, she realigned herself with former tag team partner Hade Vansen and at New Frontiers 2006 helped him win theFWA British Heavyweight Championship[7] in a five-way event featuringJoe Legend, Alex Shane,Jody Fleisch, andJonny Storm. She remained at Vansen's side until June's FWA VsAll Star Wrestling event year when she announced her retirement from the company as she had been scouted forWorld Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and sent toOhio Valley Wrestling (OVW) for training.[17]
In 2005, she flew to France to take part in the Fighting Spirit Federation's subordinate promotion Queens of Chaos. In an exhibition match she aligned herself with German wrestler Sick (Dejan Stegar) in a losing tag team effort toKid Kash andTrinity. However, in the Queen of the Rumble match with the World Queen of Chaos Championship on the line she entered second and became the winner, besting competition from England, Ireland, America, and Japan.[19] She defended the title all over France and in Switzerland until almost exactly a year later when, after defending the belt againstSkye in atwo out of three falls match, she announced she had exclusively signed with WWE and had to relinquish the title undefeated.[20] During her time onthe Continent she made a guest appearance in German Stampede Wrestling (GSW), losing toWesna withNora Greenwald as referee International Impact III.[21] She returned to GSW for Night In Motion VII: A Few Good Men in July 2006 to take on the promotion's other premiere female wrestler and namesake, Blue Nikita. The Greek Nikita won the match and since then Waters has used the name Katie Lea instead.[22]
Just before she lost her Nikita name to Blue Nikita, Waters took part in the video tapings forShimmer Women Athletes in May 2006. Playing afan favourite inVolume 5, she defeatedLacey but then forVolume 6 became avillain by using underhanded tactics and was pinned byDaizee Haze.[23]
After relocating to the United States, Waters began using the ring name Katie Lea,[24] having lost a match to Greek wrestler and namesake Blue Nikita. She made her debut with adark match victory over Melody on 23 August. A week later she teamed withODB to make her television debut, losing toBeth Phoenix andSerena. At the time ODB, seeing herself as the best wrestler in OVW, created theOVW Women's Championship for herself and defended it in a battle royal, in which Lea unsuccessfully participated.[25] On 13 September she had another chance in a four-way match but Serena won the belt, besting Lea, Phoenix, and ODB.[26] Her next title opportunity, on 11 October, ended in disqualification when an angry Serena, who had lost the belt to Phoenix, interrupted her three-way match also including ODB.[27] Lea consoled herself by winning a Halloween costume contest.[25]
The day after Halloween saw the OVW Women's Championship contested in a gauntlet match, which Lea won by last pinning Serena, earning her first Women's Championship.[28] She held the title for 212 days, giving her the longest single and combined reigns until Melody went over that mark in June 2009.[26] Phoenix did not take her loss well as it was not in a straight singles match and tried to earn a rematch but lost to Lea in a mixed tag team match the following week, with El Aero Fuego and Charles Evans as their respective partners.[25] Lea tried to defend her belt against Serena but the match ended in disqualification when a jealous Phoenix attacked Serena for having a chance before her[29] and so on 22 November the three were put in a no-disqualification non-title match which Serena won. Having already defended her belt against Serena, though, Lea continued to defend against newcomers, such as ODB andJennifer Fit.[25] She also began to host an in-ring talk segment entitled "Kat's Kradle.
After this match, on 6 December, Phoenix made her way to the ring and announced herself as still being champion with her own belt. Troubleshooter, or authority figure,Danny Basham announced that as ODB had created the belt for herself neither belt was official but promised to settle the matter.[11] At 13 December OVW television tapings he announced that the dispute would be settled in OVW's first ladiesladder match and the winner would be officially recognised as Women's Champion. In the last television episode of 2006, Lea climbed to the top of the ladder to retrieve both belts and become the undisputed OVW Women's Champion as the year closed.[25] Their feud closed on the first episode of 2007 when Basham went to present the OVW Women's Championship, giving it official recognition in the company, only for Phoenix to snatch it from him. However, this proved to be a show of sportsmanship as Phoenix presented the belt to Lea herself in recognition of their competitive ladder match.[30]
She then began a feud withCherry Pie after two successful title defences against her resulted in an assault from Pie's stablematesThe Untouchables (Deuce andDomino) untilJon Bolen andRyan Reeves saved her. Days later at a non-televised event, Lea and Bolen defeated Cherry and Domino in a mixed tag match. However, the televised rematch was a three-on-two handicap with all three Untouchables defeating Lea and Bolen. At the end of January all the women in OVW competed in a two out of threetug of war which Lea was on the winning side. This led to the Miss OVW competition which saw the women compete in a variety of competitions and matches withODB gaining the crown on 21 March. After this ODB picked up a non-title victory on 11 April and win by disqualification the following week and with a battle royal victory earned herself contention for the title.[30] On 1 June, ODB brought Lea's reign as champion to an end in singles action at OVW Six Flags.[26] After a series of mixed tag team contests between the two, ODB retained her title in a three-way match also featuringVictoria Crawford on 21 July. She pinned Phoenix in August for another shot at the belt but came up short at the end of the month.[30]
Milena Roucka then won the belt from ODB in a six-way dark match, in which Lea participated.[26] After defeating Roucka twice in non-title matches In late October, Roucka attacked Lea in a game ofduck, duck, goose and subsequently defeated Lea in a Kiss My Foot match in December to retain the title.[30] In 2008, Lea began receiving presents from a secret admirer including a telegram, flowers, and an outfit. By late February,Paul Burchill revealed himself to be her admirer[31] and helped her win the Women's Championship for the second time. She lost the title a week later to Josie in a dark match[26] because WWE had severed ties with OVW and called her up to their programming.[32]
Waters made her television debut on 11 February'sRaw (airing on tape delay from the previous week)[33] as theon-screen sister of fellowFWA alumnus Paul Burchill, becoming Katie Lea Burchill.[4] The two originally displayed early signs of a gimmick based aroundincest[34] with Paul using the catchphrase "whatever Katie wants, Katie gets", but owing to the WWE changing its television rating to PG (Parental Guidance) later that year, the incest indications stopped.[4] AtWrestleMania XXIV, Lea was one of thelumberjills in thePlayboy BunnyMania Match, in whichBeth Phoenix andMelina defeatedMaria andAshley.[35]
After appearing alongside Burchill onWWE Heat, Lea made her in-ring television debut on 28 April episode ofRaw defeatingSuper Crazy in anintergenderHandicap Match along with Burchill.[36][37]
On 19 May, onRaw, she had a confrontation with theWomen's Champion,Mickie James where she insinuated James had used her relationship withJohn Cena to sleep her way to success.[38] Two weeks later, Lea teamed up with Beth Phoenix in a winning effort defeating James and Melina, in which she pinned James.[39] On 16 June episode ofRaw, Lea and Burchill defeated James andMr. Kennedy in amixed tag team match, where Lea pinned James a second time, thus earning a title shot[40] At theNight of Champions pay-per-view, Lea challengedMickie James for theWWE Women's Championship but was unsuccessful in capturing the title.[41] On 14 July episode ofRaw, Lea once again challenged James for the Women's Championship, but was unsuccessful. After she and her brother beat James andKofi Kingston,[42] she received another chance at James' title in August but failed to win.[43]
She closed out the year by appearing tag team matches, regularly teaming withJillian Hall.[44] On the lastRaw of the year, she made her final appearance in a battle royal to determine the next challenger for the Women's Championship, which was ultimately won by Melina.[45]
Two days later, on 30 December, it was revealed that Lea and Burchill had been moved to theECW brand, but failed to make an impression with Burchill losing to continueDJ Gabriel's winning streak.[46] Going into 2009, Lea made a better impact in herECW on Sci Fi debut with a win against Gabriel's partnerAlicia Fox.[47] However, the Burchills lost a tag team match against Gabriel and Fox the following week.[48]
On 5 April 2009, she competed in the25-Diva Battle Royal atWrestleMania XXV, but the match was won bySantina Marella.[49] Lea wrestled again in July 2009 against the newly draftedBella Twins. First facing Nikki, Katie took the advantage but Nikki swapped places with her twin sister, fooling both Katie and the referee, causing Katie to lose.[50] Two weeks later onWWE Superstars, the twins made the same switch in reverse order after the referee could not differentiate between the two and Lea lost again.[51]
From August towards the end of 2009, Paul became embroiled in a rivalry with backstage interviewerGregory Helms, over whether he was also in-ring performer The Hurricane. They agreed to settle the matter in a match on 17 November episode ofECW, which saw Hurricane's mask put up against Burchill's career on the ECW brand. Despite many attempts, Paul could not secure the pin and subsequently lost the match, resulting in both he and Katie Lea leaving ECW.[52] The following week onECW, Katie Lea and Paul, now sporting masks and calling themselves The Beautiful Nightmare and The Ripper, respectively, appeared in a backstage segment with General ManagerTiffany and asked for a contract, which Tiffany said they would receive if The Ripper could defeat The Hurricane the next week onECW.[1] However, The Ripper was unmasked by Hurricane and subsequently defeated in their match, resulting in Katie and Burchill remaining off ECW.[53]
On 11 January 2010, Lea moved back to the Raw brand without her brotherPaul Burchill, by competing in a first round tournament match for the vacantDivas Championship but lost toEve Torres.[54] At theRoyal Rumble pay-per-view, Katie Lea teamed up withMaryse, Natalya, Hall, andAlicia Fox in a losing effort to the team of Kim, Kelly Kelly, Eve Torres, and The Bella Twins.[44] On 26 February, Paul was formally released by WWE leaving Katie to appear on her own, but she was released from her WWE contract two months later, on 22 April, ending her five-year tenure with the company.[55][56]
After her release from WWE, Waters briefly returned to the independent circuit, wrestling under the ring name Kat La Noir.[5] On 23 August 2010 Waters wrestled in a tryout dark match forTNA at the tapings of theirImpact television show, losing toMadison Rayne;[57] it was reported on 15 October that TNA had signed her to a contract.[58] Waters debuted on 21 October episode ofImpact!, using the name Winter, admiringAngelina Love during a backstage segment in a somewhat supernatural appearance.[8] After weeks of appearing only in front of Love, Winter was seen for the first time by otherKnockouts on 25 November episode ofImpact! when she saved Love during a large backstage brawl.[59] On 9 December at the tapings of 23 December episode ofImpact!
