Natalie Rose Harrison (born July 1, 1985) is a Canadian
professional wrestler, better known by her ring name
K. C. Spinelli.
Early life
Harrison was born in
Guelph, Ontario. She attended College Heights Secondary School in Guelph. A self-described tomboy, she took part in a diverse range of athletic pursuits, including ballet, gymnastics, horseback riding, baseball, hockey, ringette, karate, judo, mai tai kickboxing, and wrestling. As a competitive amateur wrestler in high school she was good enough to have reached the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations championships if she hadn't fractured her elbow.[3] She studied carpentry in college.[4]
Professional wrestling career
In 2009, Harrison began training in professional wrestling under the likes of Artemis Spencer, Kenny Lush, Bomber Nelson Creed, and
In 2011, Spinelli was selected to be a part of the Rowdy Roddy Piper.
Spinelli made her first appearance in
Impact Knockouts Championship where she was pinned following an Unprettier by Van Ness.[7] In mid-2018, Harrison began portraying the Undead Maid of Honor, a member of Su Yung's Undead Bridesmaids entourage. This Character is distinct and has no kayfabe relation to Spinelli.[8]
In 2020, Spinelli began training at the Flatbacks Wrestling school under the tutelage of Shawn Spears and Tyler Breeze.
In 2023, Spinelli participated in a competition held by the Quebec-based Wrestling Academy 2023, organized by
QT Marshall. She reached the finals of the competition which was a match with her and Kat Von Heez. After the match, she was asked if she was comfortable with splitting the prize money, but refused as she felt that splitting the prize money was unfair, as the male competitors did not have to do so. As a consequence, Von Heeze was declared the sole winner for the women.[9][10]
Personal life
Harrison has stated that she considers herself a
feminist, stating in one interview "I'd burn a bra, if I didn't need it."[11]
