1978

Jessica Nora Kresa (born June 6, 1978) is an American professional wrestler, actress, entrepreneur, and former collegiate ice hockey player, better known as ODB (One Dirty Bitch).

Best known for her time in TNA Wrestling, she is a four-time TNA Women's Knockout Champion, and a one-time TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion.

Kresa has an athletic background in ice hockey, which her father encouraged her to pursue.

She was the captain of the first girls' team at her high school and played at St. Cloud State University for two years.

She began watching professional wrestling as a child, and watching wrestlers such as The Killer Bees.

She originally desired to be on the show American Gladiators.

She hired a personal trainer in anticipation of her wrestling training.

Kresa tried out for the first season of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE)'s reality show, WWF Tough Enough.

She made the top 25, but missed the final cut.

Back home in Minnesota, she began training and was soon wrestling in independent wrestling promotions in the Midwest, facing male wrestlers such as Ken Anderson and Shawn Daivari.

2003

Kresa received her first national exposure in early 2003 as ODB, wrestling Trinity in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).

2004

She returned to TNA in early 2004 as Poison and was placed in a brief feud with Trinity.

She appeared again in TNA during October 2004 and defeated Tracy Brooks.

2006

On June 5, 2006, Kresa debuted in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) as a villain under the ring name ODB, her gimmick being a woman who was a tough, loud, and crude bargirl, losing to Daisy Mae.

Three days later, she lost to Mae in a rematch, beginning a feud between the two in the process.

After losing to Mae in a tag team match on June 9, ODB finally defeated her in a tag team match on June 16.

She then defeated her in a singles match on June 28 to culminate their feud.

On July 12, 2006, ODB began declaring herself as the Women's Champion, even though OVW did not recognize a women's champion at the time.

She repeatedly cut promos saying that she was the new Women's Champion, and OVW owner Danny Davis conceded and recognized the Women's Championship as an official title.

ODB lost her title to Serena Deeb in a four-way match on September 13, 2006.

2007

In the spring of 2007, ODB won the first ever "Miss OVW" crown with help from Victoria Crawford.

After Deeb dropped the title to Katie Lea, ODB engaged in an ongoing feud with her which led to a match between the two on June 1, 2007, where ODB regained her title and ended Lea's reign.

ODB lost her title for the second time when she dropped it to Milena Roucka in a six-way match on September 19, 2007.

During her time in OVW, she gained praise for her matches, but Johnny Ace thought she didn't fit with the WWE Divas division and Triple H encouraged her to sign with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.

Kresa was contacted by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) to appear at their annual pay-per-view Bound for Glory.

She made her in-ring re-debut at the event, participating in a 10-Knockout gauntlet match to crown the first-ever Knockout Champion.

She was eliminated by Roxxi Laveaux, and the match was eventually won by Gail Kim.

She was originally booked as a villain in the women's division, but her abilities while "drunken" created positive crowd reactions, resulting in a naturally gradual fan favorite push.

On the January 24 episode of Impact!, Kong attacked Gail Kim after Kim was named 2007 TNA Knockout of the Year, but was saved by ODB.

At Against All Odds, ODB was defeated by Kong.

At Destination X, she lost a three-way match, which included Kim, to Kong.

At Lockdown, ODB and Kim defeated Kong and Raisha Saeed.

The following month at Sacrifice, ODB participated in the first-ever Knockouts "Make Over Battle Royal", which was also won by Kim.

2008

On the January 3, 2008 episode of Impact!, ODB won an 8-Knockout gauntlet match to determine the rankings of the Knockout's division in TNA.

On the January 17, 2008 episode of Impact!, she defeated Angelina Love, and then challenged Awesome Kong to a title match at Against All Odds.

In mid–2008, ODB began feuding with The Beautiful People (Angelina Love, Velvet Sky and Cute Kip) alongside Rhaka Khan and Rhino.

On the October 30 episode of Impact!, ODB joined A.J. Styles, Samoa Joe, Jay Lethal, Consequences Creed, Petey Williams, Eric Young and The Motor City Machineguns to form a faction of younger wrestlers to oppose The Main Event Mafia.

At Genesis, after scoring the pinfall in a six-woman tag team match, it was announced that ODB would get a shot at the Knockout Championship.

In this time, ODB feuded with The Kongtourage with most results as wins.

At Against All Odds, she unsuccessfully challenged Awesome Kong for the championship.
