Professional wrestling career
United States (2002–2012)
Reece was trained at Heartland Wrestling Association’s (HWA) wrestling school and made her professional wrestling debut in July 2002 under the ring name Bobbi Jablonski.[2] After branching out to other Midwestern independent promotions like Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling, Far North Wrestling, Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South, Midwest Regional Wrestling and Totally Lethal Wrestling, Reece changed her ring name to Hailey Hatred.
Hatred won her first title on June 6, 2004, when she became the inaugural Totally Lethal Wrestling (TLW) World Women’s Champion. Though TLW went out of business later that year, Hatred held the TLW World Women’s Championship for 3,345 days.[5] On October 29, 2004
Hatred took part in the inaugural ChickFight tournament, losing to Nikki Roxx in the first round.[2][6] She has since returned to take part in the ChickFight III, IV and VI tournaments, each time losing her opening match in the tournament.[2] On November 18, 2005, Hatred defeated Mickie Knuckles to win the IWA Mid-South Women’s Championship.
She would lose the title back to Knuckles on February 8, 2006.[8] On May 15, 2009, Hatred defeated Sammi Lane in the finals of a tournament to win the vacant Absolute Intense Wrestling (AIW) Women’s Championship. After a thirteen-month reign, Hatred was stripped of the title on June 27, 2010, when she no-showed a title defense against Jefferson Saint.
On June 6, 2009, Hatred began working for Women Superstars Uncensored (WSU), where she formed the tag team “Havok & Hatred” with Jessicka Havok. In their first WSU match
Hatred and Havok unsuccessfully challenged Alicia and Brooke Carter for the WSU Tag Team Championship.[11] On August 22, Hatred and Havok defeated Alicia and Carter in a rematch to become the new WSU Tag Team Champions.
Hatred and Havok dominated the WSU tag team division for the following months, building up to a title match on October 3, where they retained the title against Angel Orsini and Mercedes Martinez, following interference from their new ally Rain.[12] On November 7
Hatred and Havok faced Orsini and Martinez in a rematch, where any outside interference would result in a one-year suspension from WSU.[12] Hatred and Havok lost the WSU Tag Team Championship, when Orsini pinned Havok for the win.[13] Hatred has not returned to WSU since.
