Velvet Sky

Jamie Lynn Szantyr (born June 2, 1981) is an American color commentator and retired professional wrestler best known for her time with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and the NWA under the ring name Velvet Sky.

She is a former two-time TNA Women's Knockout Champion and is a former TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion as part of The Beautiful People (with Madison Rayne and Angelina Love, with the group defending the title under the Freebird rule).

Szantyr was trained by Jason Knight at the House of Pain Pro Wrestling Dojo in New Britain, Connecticut.

After completing her training, she began working as a valet and wrestler on the independent circuit using the ring names Miss Talia, Talia Doll, and Talia Madison.

On the independent circuit, she formed a tag team known as T&A with April Hunter.

Talia made her debut for World Xtreme Wrestling (WXW) on March 3, 2004, where she defeated Alere Little Feather.

She won her first championship in professional wrestling, the WXW Women's Championship, after winning a battle royal on May 29, 2004.

Talia went on to successfully defend her title against April Hunter, Cindy Rogers, Psycho and Ariel.

On August 28, Talia teamed up with Alicia in a winning effort defeating Cindy Rogers and Mercedes Martinez in a tag team match, and defeated Becky Bayless in a bra and panties match on September 9.

Talia continued her undefeated streak, successfully defending her title against Alere Little Feather, Luscious Lily, Cindy Rogers, Officer Mercy, and against Feather and Alicia in a triple threat match.

On November 27, Talia teamed up with April Hunter in a winning effort defeating The Moonshiners (Lulu and Trinity H. Campbell).

On December 11, Talia successfully defended her title against Krissy Vaine.

The following week, Talia teamed up with The Moonshiners (Lulu and Trinity H. Campbell) defeating Alicia, Cindy Rogers and Mercedes Martinez in a six-woman tag team match.

Talia's winning streak ended after she was defeated by Martinez on April 25, 2005.

On July 8 at the WXW Spotsfest event, Talia lost the championship to Martinez.

On September 12 at the WXW Tour, Talia unsuccessfully challenged Martinez for the title in a rematch.

At the WXW 4th Annual Women's Elite 8 event, Talia unsuccessfully challenged Martinez again, this time in a triple threat match also involving Krissy Vaine.

Szantyr made a few appearances in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2005 and 2006.

On the February 24, 2005 episode of WWE SmackDown!, she appeared as an extra during the JBL "Celebration of Excellence" party.

She was then defeated by Victoria on July 11 in a match taped for WWE Heat.

On January 2, 2006, she and Trinity were planted in the front row of the audience to be selected to dance with The Heart Throbs after their match in another Heat segment.

As Talia Madison, she held Defiant Pro Wrestling Women's title, which she won on April 8, 2006, after defeating Alere Little Feather and Nikki Roxx in a triple threat match.

Later that year, she debuted in MXW Pro Wrestling and defeated Alere Little Feather at Brass City Battle.

She also wrestled in Women's Extreme Wrestling (WEW), where she mainly worked in tag team matches.

She found championship success here as half of The Simple Girls/The Madison Sisters with her (kayfabe) sister Nikki Madison, and as the "T" half of the T&A tag team with April Hunter, defeating Team Blondage's Amber O'Neal and Lollipop to win the titles on WEW's April 6, 2006 pay-per-view.

She also auditioned for the 2007 Diva Search, but did not make the final eight.

She also held the WEW World Women's title, defeating Angel Orsini on May 5, 2007.

When Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) announced the creation of their women's division in 2007, Szantyr, using her Talia Madison ring name, was announced as one of the ten wrestlers in a 10-woman gauntlet match to crown the first TNA Knockouts Champion at the Bound for Glory pay-per-view.

Before the show, she made non-wrestling appearances on the October 5 episode of TNA Today and the October 11 episode of Impact!, standing at ringside for the debut match of Amazing Kong along with the other gauntlet match participants.

In the weeks following the gauntlet match, her ring name was changed to Velvet Sky.

At the December Turning Point pay-per-view, Sky and Angelina Love formed an alliance and were dubbed Velvet Love Entertainment, later renamed The Beautiful People.

After defeating ODB and Roxxi Laveaux early in the show, Love and Sky assisted Gail Kim in her match against Awesome Kong.

They assisted Kim again after another match against Kong on the December 6 episode of Impact!, and at the Final Resolution pay-per-view, helping to stop a post-match brawl.

On the March 13 episode of Impact!, Sky and Love attacked Roxxi Laveaux and later that night Gail Kim, thus becoming villainous characters for the first time.

At Lockdown, Sky and Love participated in the first ever Queen of the Cage match, which was won by Laveaux, when she pinned Love inside the cage.

Sky and Love participated in the Make Over Battle Royal-Ladder Match at Sacrifice, which was won by Gail Kim.

Around this time, Sky and Love added another factor to their gimmicks, placing brown paper bags over their opponents heads after defeating them.

Soon after, Moose joined The Beautiful People, but she was quickly removed from the stable and the TNA roster after suffering an injury on the independent circuit.

On the July 17 episode of Impact!, Sky won a Knockouts battle royal to become the number one contender to the TNA Knockouts Championship, but lost the title match the next week, as well as two more title matches immediately following, to then-champion Taylor Wilde.

The Beautiful People began associating themselves with Cute Kip, who become known as their "fashionist".
