Early life[edit]

For a time there the family lived out of the mother's Daytona hatchback until they had enough money to afford an apartment. She played basketball, volleyball, track and rugby. She started doing bikini modelling and competed in pageants such as Miss Hawaiian Tropic, Miss Swimsuit USA and Miss Hooters. Her agent told her "You’re way too ripped to keep modeling. You need to go to the fitness side, or gain some weight and get softer and be a model."[6][7]

a wrestler and focused on becoming a full-time wrestler herself. She made her in-ring debut, a loss to Angel Williams, at a DSW TV taping in December 2006.[1] She continued working in DSW and during February she was (kayfabe) promoted to the position of Personal Assistant to General Manager Krissy Vaine, with her main job being to protect Krissy from Angel Williams. This eventually led to another match between Adams and Williams, as ordered by Vaine. At the March 15, 2007 DSW TV tapings, Adams was kayfabe fired from her position following Vaine and Williams' alliance together.[8]

ECW (2007)[edit]

Main article: Extreme Exposé
Adams in February 2007.

On January 23, 2007 Adams debuted on the ECW brand, joining Kelly Kelly and Layla El in Extreme Exposé.< when "Maria and I going at it, I punched her so hard in her nose that it busted open and at the same time my boobs fell out of my top."[5]) When Florida Championship Wrestling opened in the summer of 2007, Adams was transferred to the developmental facility for training, along with continuing her Extreme Exposé role.[9]

Extreme Exposé acted as a weekly dance segment on the ECW show for months[1] until The Miz was placed on the ECW brand in the annual WWE Draft Lottery, at which point all three ladies began actively pursuing him.[10] Later, Kelly shifted her attentions to Balls Mahoney,[11] to the amusement of The Miz and her Exposé sisters, who had been spending their time mocking his look which led her to turn into a heel character with Layla. Brooke, along with the other ECW Divas, as well as SmackDown and RAW Divas, would compete in a Number-One Contender's Battle Royal for Candice Michelle's WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam, but Brooke got eliminated early on and with Kelly as the last ECW Diva standing, Beth Phoenix would ultimately win. Brooke's last match was a tri brand divas Halloween battle royal on the October 29, 2007 edition of Raw and even though she was eliminated early Kelly Kelly would eliminate Torrie Wilson to get the win for ECW.

Just a couple days later on November 1, 2007, Adams was released from her WWE contract.[12]

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling[edit]

Knockout's Division Commissioner (2010–2011)[edit]

Tessmacher as Eric Bischoff's assistant in July 2010.

On the March 29, 2010, edition of TNA Impact!, Adams made her Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) debut in a backstage segment as Eric Bischoff's assistant, under the name Ms. Tessmacher, named after Lex Luthor's girlfriend and assistant in the first two Superman movies.[3][13][14] On the September 30 edition of Impact! she was put in charge of the TNA Knockouts as Knockout's Law.[15] The position quickly went to her head and she began being verbally abusive to all of the knockouts. Just two weeks later Bischoff fired Tessmacher from her position as his assistant and Knockout's Law, after she had leaked important information about his plans to Kevin Nash and "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero, stating that she needed to become a wrestler herself if she wanted to remain in TNA.[16] The following week, Tessmacher begged The Beautiful People to teach her how to wrestle, but they ultimately refused, due to the treatment they got from her when she was in control of the Knockouts division.[17] At the following Impact!, it was revealed that Lacey Von Erich of The Beautiful People had agreed to train Tessmacher to wrestle.[18] However, Von Erich would leave the promotion on November 11, ending the angle abruptly.[19]

On the December 16 edition of Impact! Tessmacher returned and made her TNA in–ring debut as Bischoff's hand picked partner for Mickie James in the first round match of a tournament for the vacant TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship, in which they were defeated by Madison Rayne and Tara.[20] On December 25 Adams suffered a broken jaw in an out–of–the–ring accident and had wires and metal plates put in her jaw as a result.[21] Tessmacher returned to TNA on the April 21, 2011, edition of Impact!, saying that during her time away from TNA she had been training to become the TNA Knockout Champion and that "Miss Tessmacher's back".[22] On the May 5 edition of Impact!, she had her return match as she unsuccessfully challenged Mickie James for the TNA Women's Knockout Championship.[23] On May 12, she teamed with Mickie James against Tara and Madison Rayne in a successful effort pulling up the win with a victory roll against Rayne.[24] On the June 16 edition of Impact Wrestling, Tessmacher and Velvet Sky challenged Mexican America (Rosita and Sarita) for the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship, but were defeated following outside interference from Sky's rival, ODB.[25]

At the tapings of the July 21 edition of Impact Wrestling, Tessmacher and Tara defeated Rosita and Sarita to win the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship, Adams' first professional wrestling title.[26][27] On the August 4 edition of Impact Wrestling! Tessmacher got her first singles match victory, defeating Madison Rayne.[28] Tessmacher and Tara made their first title defense on August 7 at Hardcore Justice, defeating Mexican America in a rematch.[29] On the following edition of Impact Wrestling, Adams' ring name was switched to Brooke Tessmacher.[2] On the November 3 edition of Impact Wrestling, Tessmacher and Tara lost the Knockouts Tag Team Championship to Gail Kim and Madison Rayne.[30] On the November 17 episode of Impact Wrestling, both members of TnT competed in a gauntlet match to earn a title match with the new Women's Knockout Champion, Gail Kim, but were both eliminated. Tessmacher was eliminated by Velvet Sky and Tara was eliminated by Mickie James who would go on to win the gauntlet match.[31]

After pinning Gail Kim on three occasions, Tessmacher was named the number one contender for her TNA Women's Knockout Championship.[32][33][34] On May 13 at Sacrifice, Tessmacher failed in her title challenge against Kim, when Kim pinned her with her feet on the ropes.[35] Tessmacher received another shot at the title on the following episode of Impact Wrestling, but was again defeated by Kim in a three-way match, which also included Velvet Sky.[36] On the June 7 episode of Impact Wrestling, a week after Brooke Hogan's TNA debut, Adams' ring name was switched back to Miss Tessmacher. She then went on to defeat Mickie James, Tara and Velvet Sky in a four-way match to earn another shot at Gail Kim's Women's Knockout Championship.[37] Three days later at Slammiversary, Tessmacher defeated Gail Kim to win the TNA Women's Knockout Championship for the first time.[38] On the June 21 episode of Impact Wrestling Tessmacher made her first successful title defense, defeating Mickie James.[39] On the July 12 episode of Impact Wrestling, Tessmacher successfully defended her title in a rematch against Gail Kim.[40] On August 12 at Hardcore Justice, Tessmacher lost the title to Madison Rayne, who had referee Earl Hebner on her side, ending her reign at 63 days.[41] Tessmacher regained the title from Rayne on the following episode of Impact Wrestling in a match refereed by the debuting Taryn Terrell.[42] On September 9 at No Surrender, Tessmacher successfully defended the title against her TnT partner Tara.[43] On the following episode of Impact Wrestling, Tara turned on Tessmacher, officially ending TnT.[44] On October 14 at Bound for Glory, Tessmacher lost the Women's Knockout Championship to Tara.[45] Tessmacher received a rematch for the title on the October 25 episode of Impact Wrestling, but was again defeated by Tara following an interference from her boyfriend Jesse.[46] On the February 7 edition of Impact Wrestling, Tessmacher defeated Tara in a non-title match.[47] Two weeks later Tessmacher competed in a fourway elimination match for the knockouts title but failed to recapture the title, after being eliminated by Velvet Sky. On the April 18 edition of Impact Wrestling, Tessmacher was defeated by Mickie James in a number 1 contenders match for the Knockouts Championship. Tessmacher has not appeared in TNA for over 30 days.

Independent circuit (2012)[edit]

On February 25, 2012, Tessmacher made her debut for Family Wrestling Entertainment (FWE), losing to fellow TNA Knockout Winter in the first round to determine the inaugural FWE Women's Champion.[48] Later that night, Tessmacher and TnT partner Tara helped Maria defeat Winter in the finals of the tournament.[49]
