Jamie Lynn Szantyr, better known by her wrestling moniker, Velvet Sky, is one of those homegrown wrestling acts that you can't help but love despite her being a heel character. Velvet Sky has been apart of two collective groups that have dominated in multiple organizations including The Beautiful People alongside Madison Rayne and Lacey Von Erich and The Allure including Angelina Love and Mandy Leon. While Velvet Sky isn't particularly athletic, she's a great performer and can execute one hell of a Headscissor.
The Connecticut-native got her start in the sport by way of World Xtreme Wrestling (WXW) in 2004. Then Szantyr made a few appearances in the WWE the following two years. Her peak popularity came when she was on the TNA roster from 2007-2011. Sky made brief stops throughout the independent circuit including stints in Mexico's Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide and promotion companies in Puerto Rico before making her way back to TNA. Throughout her career, Sky has racked up some belts including the TNA Women's Knockout Championship (2x), TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship (1x), TNT Women's Championship (1x), and more. While she says her in-ring days are a wrap, she currently is under contract with Ring of Honor (ROH).
