[edit] Career

[edit] Early career

Davis trained under Strawberry Fields, Leilani Kai and Gary Royal at the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Academy in Charlotte, North Carolina. After training for six months she debuted in July 1999 in the PGWA as Amber Holly, wrestling Leilani Kai in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. In 2002, Holly began wrestling for the Carolina Wrestling Federation, where she furthered her training under Gemini Kid and Mikael Yamaha at the CWF Dojo Camp. In May 2003, Holly suffered a knee injury, tearing her anterior cruciate ligament and patella tendon and suffering cartilage damage. She was obliged to undergo reconstructive surgery and transplants, and was inactive for slightly under a year while rehabilitating.

Holly returned to the ring on May 16, 2004, adopting the ring name Amber O'Neal (to differentiate herself from fellow wrestler Molly Holly) and the gimmick of a motocross racer. In late 2004, O'Neal formed a tag team with Krissy Vaine known as Team Blondage. The team wrestled primarily on the North Carolina independent circuit, appearing with promotions such as SHIMMER and Women's Extreme Wrestling.

Team Blondage defeated Clehopatra and Navaho to win the vacant WEW Tag Team Championship on May 8, 2005 at the WEW pay-per-view "No Ho's Barred". In the course of their reign, Vaine signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. Vaine was subsequently replaced within Team Blondage by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling alumna Lollipop. On the April 6, 2006 WEW pay-per-view, O'Neal and Lollipop lost the WEW Women's Tag Team Championship to T and A (Talia Madison and April Hunter).

In April and May 2006, O'Neal wrestled at several TNA house shows produced in conjunction with the United Wrestling Federation.

O'Neal appeared on the June 5, 2008 edition of TNA iMPACT!. She was planted in the audience along with fellow wrestlers Daffney and Becky Bayless. The three women volunteered to wrestle Awesome Kong in the 25,000 dollar challenge. Daffney was selected and lost to Kong.
