Mary Beth Grant, better known by her ring name Lexie Fyfe (or simply Lexie), is an American professional wrestler. She has wrestled in various independent wrestling promotions, most notably for SHIMMER.

Early life

Grant was born in Denville, New Jersey where she spent most of her life, attending Morris Knolls High School.Seegers, Sandy. [http://www.dailyrecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080827/SPORTS/808270446/-1/LIFEFRONT "Enjoying life inside ropes: Pro wrestling has provided Denville native rich experience"] , "Daily Record (Morristown)", August 27, 2008. Accessed August 28, 2008. "A co-worker, Brandi Wine, asked Fyfe, a native of Denville, if she'd like to train with her and become a professional wrestler. Soon, Fyfe, known as MaryBeth Bentley during her days at Morris Knolls High School, was in the ring."] She spent a couple of years in Toledo, Ohio and St. Petersburg, Florida when she was very young.

Grant went to Elon College in North Carolina and now resides in Tampa, Florida after a couple of years in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

Career

While working in billing at LabCorp, Grant met co-worker Brandi Wine who asked if she had an interest in training to become a wrestler. Brandi was valeting at the time for the Beastmaster Rick Link and Tim Blaze. She introduced Lexie to some local promoters who were looking for female wrestlers. Ken Spence, who runs a wrestling school in Winston Salem, North Carolina, talked her into coming early to one of the next shows. She got in the ring with a couple of the wrestlers and learned some simple moves. She started training at Ken's school right after that in April of 1995.

She stayed at Spence's school for a little over a year while learning the basic techniques of wrestling. Feeling that she needed to become more versatile and learn different styles, she left Spence's school. Then she had met Matt Hardy on a show and he invited her down to their training place. In fact, she was thinking about leaving wrestling because she didn't feel that she was progressing in the ring. She learned so much there especially about the psychology of a wrestling match. Also, she had the chance to learn valuable skills from the "unpredictable" Johnny Rodz, who has trained stars including as Tazz and Perry Saturn. She visited his school at least six times on various trips to the New York area.

Grant has since joined SHIMMER as a full-time wrestler where she also teams with Malia Hosaka.
