Veronica "Ronnie" Carrejo-Brazier (born July 19, 1973),[2] also known by her ring name Simply Luscious, is an American professional wrestler best known for her stint in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Since 2004, she has been performing on the independent circuit.

Professional Wrestling Career

Early career

Stevens studied

San Antonio, Texas
, under the name "Simply Luscious", a moniker she got from her ex-husband, hockey player Ryan Pisiak.

Soon after debuting, Stevens appeared briefly in World Championship Wrestling in a spot with Tank Abbott, where she received a concussion from Abbot.

Independent circuit

Throughout 2002, Stevens, under her Simply Luscious ring name, worked for Jersey All Pro Wrestling and prominently for Ring of Honor. On June 22, Simply Luscious joined ROH's group The Prophecy, led by Christopher Daniels. On December 28, at the event Final Battle, Luscious defeated Alexis Laree. Later that night, she left the Prophecy to join Steve Corino's new group and thus began feuding with the Prophecy.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling

In 2003, Stevens began working for the

Desire.[5] Brooks and Young then faced America's Most Wanted in the tournament final, but lost. After the match, Young threatened Brooks, but she was again saved by Stevens.[6]

During an interview with

Lollipop (who was attacked by Brooks several weeks earlier)[8] accepted the challenge. They tried attacking Brooks and Stevens but were stopped by TNA security guards.[9] The following week, Lollipop challenged Bitchslap to a match. Stevens (without Brooks present) accepted, but was attacked by both Lollipop and Pennington until TNA security again stopped the catfight.[10]

Stevens then replaced Brooks with a new partner,

Trinity, who revealed herself as the newest member of Bitchslap and attacked Pennington and Lollipop.[13] The TNA cage dancers retaliated against Bitchslap the following week. They summoned Bitchslap to the ring; however, Trinity forced Stevens and Valentina into the ring to fight the cage dancers. Pennington and Lollipop attacked Stevens and Valentina with leather straps until they fled up the entrance ramp to rejoin Trinity.[14][15] During this time, Stevens also received a brief push as the group's leader and was victorious in a singles match on TNA Xplosion against Daizee Haze (in a match where the loser was forced to wear a diaper).[3]

The storyline with Bitchslap was then dropped because TNA didn't have enough female wrestlers to compete against the group,[16] and Stevens turned down a two-year contract with TNA, instead attempting to sign with either WWE or a company in Japan.[17] Brooks and Trinity were then placed into other storylines and TNA stopped booking Valentina.

Return to the independent circuit

Throughout 2004 and 2005, Luscious began to work for independent promotions all across the world. On February 14, 2004, Simply Luscious beat Sumie Sakai to become the USA Pro Women's champion. During the summer of 2004, she spent time in Mexico working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre. She also occasionally worked for Zero-One Japan with a villainous referee gimmick.

Stevens returned to the Texas Wrestling Academy in 2006 and spent May through July training in preparation for a

World Wrestling Entertainment try-out in mid July, although she was not hired. Regardless, she still continues to wrestle with Women's Extreme Wrestling as well as other independent promotions. In early 2009, Luscious began a feud against PINK, which spanned from River City Wrestling
into OWE. On April 18, Luscious defeated PINK to win the OWE Women's Championship.

On August 22, 2009 in River Ridge, LA, Luscious defeated Claudia Del Solis to win the vacant Cajun Wrestling Federation (CWF) Women's Championship.
