Vicky Hughes (born 6 August 1987) is a female British professional wrestler, better known by her ring name Jetta, who wrestles for various independent promotions.

Career

Midlands Professional Wrestling

Jetta started her career at the Midlands Professional Wrestling (MPW) training school near where she lived, in her hometown of Coventry. She showed little interest in wrestling until late '90s wrestling boom in America. She trained under the tutelage of NWA UK Hammerlock veterans Majik and Psycho Steve. Jetta wrestled many matches for MPW, eventually establishing herself as one their most talented performers, mixing it up with both the male and female wrestlers. Although she denies having any influences, having started wrestling so late, she admires World Wrestling Entertainment's Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan, as well as British talent Dynamite Kid and World Association of Wrestling's Ricky Knight and Sweet Saraya. Her career was temporarily impeded in July 2005 when she broke both forearms and had to have metal plates inserted, stopping her wrestling for the rest of the year.

LDN Wrestling

Jetta made her television debut on LDN Wrestling in a match against "The Jezebel" Eden Black who she would fight across various promotions in the next few years. The match took place at "Caesar’s Beatings" on 15 July 2006, in Jezebel's hometown of Romford. Black managed to pick up the victory which did nothing but anger Jetta, who swiftly demanded a rematch.cite web|url=http://www.ldnwrestling.com/site/pastresults.html|title=LDN Results|accessdate=2008-06-08|publisher=LDN Wrestling] Jetta had her wish on the televised 10 September 2006 show but she was beaten once again by her rival. Jetta had to wait until "Born to be Wyld" in November before she could proclaim victory over Eden Black, in a fatal four way elimination match including Skye and Violet. The feud grew into a scheduled mixed tag match at the "LDN Anniversary Show" including Jetta's manager John Chapman, however the match went to a no contest after Black's partner, JP Monroe, turned on her nine minutes into the match. Skye reclaimed victory from the fatal-four way the following year in a singles match on 14 April. As well taking on, and defeating, male opponent Stevie Lee, Jetta has made a guest appearance commentating for the Capital TV programme.cite web|url=http://www.ldnwrestling.com/site/Capital%20TV/Capital%20TV.html|title=Capital TV|accessdate=2008-06-08|publisher=LDN Wrestling]

HIMMER Women Athletes

In what was probably Jetta's biggest match to date, she put her long standing issues with Eden Black aside and both women represented the United Kingdom in a SHIMMER guest match, for Ring of Honor. The match took place on 4 March 2007 at ROH's "Fifth Year Festival Finale" in Liverpool, during their tour of the United Kingdom. Jetta and Jezebel were defeated by United States representatives, Sara Del Ray and Allison Danger, but still managed to show a strong effort against the experienced duo.cite web|url=http://www.rohwrestling.com/pastresults/|title=Ring of Honor Results|accessdate=2008-06-08|publisher=Ring of Honor] Jetta would return to the promotion across the pond making her SHIMMER video debut in Berwyn, Illinois, as part of Volume 15 & 16, recorded on 13 October 2007. Volume 15 saw Jetta defeat Serena Deeb, but on Volume 16 she fought alongside The Home Wreckers (Lacey & Rain), wrestling as the International Homewrecking Crew, taking the pin from Daizee Haze who had teamed up with "The Jezebel" Eden Black and MsChif,cite web|url=http://www.visuex.com/shimmer/modules.php?name=Events&file=shows/vol15and16|title=SHIMMER Results Vol 15 & 16|accessdate=2008-06-08|publisher=Visuex] who she had defeated in Real Quality Wrestling earlier in the year. Jetta would soon become a SHIMMER regular the following year, reuniting the International Homewrecking Crew (sans an absent Lacey who was missing as part of an angle in ROH at the time) with a win against Danya and Jennifer Blake during Volume 17cite web|url=http://www.visuex.com/shimmer/modules.php?name=Events&file=shows/vol17and18|title=SHIMMER Results Vol 17 & 18|accessdate=2008-07-17|publisher=Visuex] and another victory opposite Ashley Lane and Neveah in Volume 20.cite web|url=http://www.visuex.com/shimmer/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=133|title=SHIMMER Results Vol 19 & 20|accessdate=2008-07-17|publisher=Visuex] Despite a singles loss to Haze, she still impressed as a singles wrestler by winning the Volume 19 battle royal, entering seventh out of twenty one competitors and earning a SHIMMER Championship match later on that same evening, although she lost to MsChif's desecrator.cite web|url=http://wrestleuropeboard.freeforumzone.leonardo.it/discussione.aspx?idd=7677841|title=Jetta's First Blog|accessdate=2008-07-17|publisher=WrestleEurope]

Real Quality Wrestling

Her match against MsChif took place in the umbrella promotion Real Quality Wrestling (RQW) on 20 April 2007 in a tag team contest that saw two feuds collide. Jetta teamed with Cheerleader Melissa to take on their respective rivals "The Jezebel" Eden Black and MsChif in a winning effort.cite web|url=http://www.realqualitywrestling.tv/news.php?id=16|title=RQW Results 20th April|accessdate=2008-06-08|publisher=RQW] Later on that year, on 16 June, Jetta attempted to gain RQW gold from her nemesis in a four-way elimination match, also including Amazing Kong and Wesna that ultimately saw Wesna pick up the victory, winning the title from Eden Black.cite web|url=http://www.realqualitywrestling.com/news.php?id=18|title=RQW Results 16th June|accessdate=2008-06-08|publisher=RQW] Jetta made a further attempt for the RQW Women's Championship in December by making a backstage assault on Eden Black at "Not Just For Christmas", sending a message to champion Wesna and demanding a title shot.cite web|url=http://www.realqualitywrestling.tv/news.php?id=32|title=RQW "Not Just For Christmas" Results|accessdate=2008-06-09|publisher=RQW] The match, refereed by Sweet Saraya at "No Pain, No Gain" the following month came to an abrupt end when Jetta walked out, resulting in a count out, due to a legitimate injury that caused her to collapse afterwards.cite web|url=http://ukff.com/index.php?showtopic=102899&st=0&p=1672734&#entry1672734|title=RQW "No Pain, No Gain 2008" Results|accessdate=2008-06-09|publisher=RQW]

Sweet Saraya's presence as referee harked back to her feud with Jetta in World Association of Women's Wrestling, a promotion under RQW, where Jetta won the WAWW British Championship from Saraya, putting her out of action for over six months as a result.cite web|url=http://www.realqualitywrestling.tv/news.php?id=3|title=Coventry Queen; Jetta's British title reign in jeopardy?|accessdate=2008-07-17|publisher=RQW] Saraya earned a right at the title in a non-title match up on June 22 2008 and the two fought in a point-based eight rounds match on the following Sunday with Jetta losing 2-1 from a boston crab in the final round and instantly demanding a rematch, blaming distraction from Saraya's husband. cite web|url=http://www.realqualitywrestling.tv/news.php?id=13|title=Jetta still bitter|accessdate=2008-07-17|publisher=RQW]

ChickFight

Jetta made her ChickFight debut at the Liquid Nightclub in Gloucester on 22 April 2007, at "ChickFight 8". In the first round Jetta won a bout with fellow LDN alumnus Skye, but she fell to SHIMMER rival MsChif in the semi finals.cite web|url=http://www.chickfight.tv/results/|title=ChickFight Results|accessdate=2008-06-08|publisher=ChickFight] "Chickfight 9: Our Final Chance" took place on 17 July 2007, at the Orpington Halls in Orpington, Kent, otherwise known as the home of . Jetta was eliminated from the tournament in the first round by Blue Nikita.

Despite, or perhaps because of this loss, she is fast becoming the premiere heel of the promotion. At the next event, "ChickFight 9.5", she berated the Skegness crowd before viciously defeating Skye in two straight falls. Before the night was over she cost Eden Black her contest with Wesna due to interference, leading to a hastily scheduled match between the pair which quickly degenerated into a ringside brawl before Jetta screwed Black, pinning her using the ropes. To top off an already mischievous evening, Jetta then reported Cheerleader Melissa, who was on already on a warning, to the CF management leading to her suspension.cite web|url=http://www.chickfight.tv/2008/02/17/run-jetta-run/|title=Run Jetta Run|accessdate=2008-06-08|publisher=ChickFight] She continued to interfere in others' business at the 4 May 2008 CF taping; she came to the ring after Melissa and Wesna's fight, defending the losing Wesna claiming company bias due to Melissa's new television fame (Wesna returned the favour by interrupting Jetta vs Melissa, saving Jetta from the Kudo Drivercite web|url=http://www.chickfight.tv/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=20|title=ChickFight 4th May Review|accessdate=2008-06-08|publisher=ChickFight] ) and later, as Black was announcing her retirement due to a severe shoulder injury, Jetta interrupted and cut a promo demanding The Jezebel recognise Jetta as the real reason she was retiring, this resulted in the two being booked for the main event on the 3 August ChickFight card.cite web|url=http://www.chickfight.tv/2008/06/02/chickfight-3-aug-ipswich-black-vs-jetta-one-last-round/|title=Black vs Jetta: One Last Round|accessdate=2008-06-08|publisher=ChickFight] The event, hampered by injuries, saw Jetta attempt to send a message to Black by squashing Faith Lehain in 28 seconds early in the show but, despite spending most of the match working on The Jezebel's injured and taped up shoulder, Jetta would tap out to the Garden of Eden after twenty minutes. cite web|url=http://www.chickfight.tv/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=25#p102|title=ChickFight 11 Results|date=05/08/2008|publisher=ChickFight|accessdate=2008-10-02]
