Nikki Tsugranes

Attractive, but tough and formidable 5'9" blue-eyed blonde bombshell Nikki Tsugranes (a.k.a. Nikki the New York Knockout) was born on August 15 and grew up on the rough streets of Brooklyn in New York City. Nikki first became interested in wrestling in her late teens. After earning a B.A. in biology from the New York Institute of Technology in 2002, Nsugranes moved to Los Angeles, California to train at the UPW and pursue her goal of becoming a professional wrestler. She has not only trained in basic wrestling with Aaron Aguiler, Frankie Kazarian, The Ballard Brothers, and Samoa Joe, but also has trained in the lucha-style of wrestling with Misterios, Shamu Jr., and Los Luchas. Nikki has the rare distinction of being one of the few female American wrestlers to fight in both Japan and Mexico. Moreover, Nsugranes has wrestled for Fog City Wrestling, Wrestlicious, and NWA Championship Wrestling from Hollywood. She holds a championship belt from Epic Pro Wrestling in Southern California and trains on a daily basis. Nikki lives in Los Angeles with her dog Nico and works as a seventh grade science teacher at a middle school in East Los Angeles when she isn't wrestling.
