STATS
Wrestler's Name:
Izzy Anders
Wrestler's Nickname:
The Mindkiller
D.O.B.:
10.31.1990 (30)
Height:
5'7"
Weight:
140 lbs
Alignment:
5 (Crowd) | 2 (Personally) - Izzy's a mother first, your friend second. Thanks to her legacy being challenged by the likes of Fujiko Mine, Cordelia Stevenson, and Lowri Moss--all people from varying portions of the alignment chart, Izzy has no option but to preserve what she thinks is the best for her family. If you keep things on the even tempo, you'll just get the aggressive, but fair combative side of the Mindkiller. If you're (of if she believes you are) standing in the way of what she needs to take care of her daughter, Izzy will spare no quarter, becoming an even worse version of herself to do it.

MOVESET
Grappling Style:
(Up to 2 MAX)
1. Mindkiller - Izzy has since specialized in a psychological offense. She knows that she annoys people. She knows what buttons to press. That’s the forefront, though. Underneath that is an understanding of tactics and momentum. Izzy has developed her game to a world-class level of being able to take advantage of the small details in wrestling that people tend to forget.
2. Striker - Gaining strength has done wonders for Izzy against those of a similar weight class. She can manhandle many females in wrestling today, but it’s against men that she still struggles. Henceforth, Izzy refined her striking, based in Taekwondo, into a stronger, more lethal set. She has shifted her focus towards being able to debilitate her opponents with kicks to the legs or to important body parts to dampen their game until she can go in for the kill.

2. Shotgun Party II - Fisherman Driver / Ki Krusher

CHARACTER BACKGROUND
Personality:
FGA's Personal Avenger - Izzy has served her time for the atrocities she has committed. She has worked her way back into the good graces of the FGA faithful. She has won everything she has needed to. So, now, Izzy Anders seeks to help cleanse the company of its more erroneous individuals. As noted in her feud against John Carmichael, Izzy now knows that her darkest instincts are what's needed to help protect those who she cares about and the sanctity of FGA's traditions.
Strengths:
1. HAWKEYE IZZY - Izzy's eyes are frantically looking about, keeping a constant knowledge of her position. Since her offensive style is mostly based upon using her environment to her advantage, she has to keep looking about. This also applies to any kind of match that does not take place directly in the ring. She now adds in her devious attitude into this. Her experience and want to embarrass her opponents now create a truly annoying individual. She still holds the cardio like before, still keeping her "outlasting" strategy.
2. EVOLVED STYLE - It is not commonplace for Taekwondo to be used in wrestling. Thus, she gained an "unique" brand of offense to use. More so, she has an understanding in how certain strikes go. It allows her to take advantage of sloppy technique and things of that like. She can block strikes (for example, look at when Anderson Silva broke his leg from the kick check) and counter them with strikes. Street fighters and sloppy fighters, beware. Izzy will not be the one to outwrestle you, but she will "outstrike" you. Even now, Izzy's new mentality has only made her more lethal. Her strikes no longer are meant just to keep people back or for the match's sake. Izzy is now out to injure and maim. As time has progressed, she has gotten only more dangerous and advanced her skills even more. She likes to believe that she may be the best pure striker in FGA (with an evolving notion of she's one of the best in the world). Her added weight gives her an imposing presence now. The newfound muscle adds to it all. She now has the weight behind her power.
3. SELF-REFLECTIVE BITCH - Izzy knows her mannerisms piss people off. She doesn't commonly do it to mess with people; it's just an added benefit. In addition, Izzy's "mindkiller" moniker doesn't spawn from her own ego (mostly). She has learned slowly and methodically how to turn matches in her favor with mental manipulation only. She frequently steals her opponents' move to stress a psychological advantage. She'll stop midway through a sequence to taunt someone.
4. MOTHER KNOWS BEST - Izzy's morality compass has gone out of the window with that comes a mix of her high-octane physicality, her mental games, and now a ruthless precision, where she no longers care about her opponents. They're people that are hurting her family--why should she fucking care?
Weaknesses:
1. NO MORE HEROES - Izzy has thrown away what she used to think of the fans. Is she confrontational? No. But she's definitely gone off the deep end in a new way. With comes a very limited understanding of what the fans want anymore. All they have to do is to pay for their tickets and sit down in her seats.
2. LOOK IN A MIRROR - Izzy managed to defeat the central issues of her image problem. But you cannot keep a demon down forever. Despite her long reign at MAL Champion and her performances, there’s a constant biting feeling that Izzy will never be good enough. Thus, she goes through deep, dark depressions every now and again. With GRENDEL's teachings, she knows that if she doesn't evolve, she's better off dead. So the constant pressure behind that may lead to her making mistakes not only in the ring, but out. Additionally, her newfound main event status has made her obsessed with pushing herself. Despite any internalized hatred, Izzy believes herself to be the best damn thing around. Unfortunately, that aids itself into her acting out, if you will, to get ahead.
3. NO SPIDEY SENSE - Her style has evolved but at the cost of losing speed and a bit of her general knowledge of styles. Her "experience" has made her duller towards some mistakes she refused to make as a rookie. It's more now that she believes she can recover from it all. It doesn't help that her attitude makes her too casual towards most things. She may not recognize the danger she's actively in, because she just doesn't care. Not caring doesn't make you cool, Izzy; it can make you lose.
Taunts/Mannerisms:
1. La Sombra and Tetsuya Naito’s Tranquilo Roll

Background:
Izzy Anders has lived quite the tumultuous life. Her father died when she was young, due to gang activity. Her mother fell into depression and became a violent drunk. Refusing to take the abuse any longer, Izzy ran away into Canada. There, she lived as a drug pusher. She lost many of her friends, due to the life they lived. She had to kill some people. Eventually, she managed to escape the horrific lifestyle when she met one Artemis von Licht (famously known as Artemis Kaiser). Thanks in part of the girl taking a liking to her, Izzy was able to get a job and start her wrestling training alongside.
In mid-2015, Izzy joined Frontier Grappling Arts. She started off relatively hot but fell by the wayside until two important matches. The first one being her upset victory against Fujiko Mine, the former Mid-Atlantic Legacy Champion. That shocked FGA audiences and outside folks began to keep watch. The second victory is what pushed her to the front as one of 2015's hottest rookies. Izzy ended up competing and winning the Rookie X Cup because she wanted the prize money to get a young fan a surgery she needed. The heartwarming victory gave Izzy the ground to ask for a Mid-Atlantic Legacy Championship shot. At All-Star Showdown IV, she defeated Yun Go-eun and Noelle Smith for the championship.
At the same time, Izzy's wrestling endeavors expanded to the Shooting Star Wrestling Alliance. Despite losing the Rising Star Championship shot she got, Izzy kept on. At the same time, she became a figure of positively in wrestling. She met a girl named Emery Harrison, who she started a relationship with. She defended her Mid-Atlantic Legacy Championship, but at the same time, she began down a darker path. Namely, at FGA's 4th Year Anniversary show, she showed some hostility towards the returning Fujiko Mine that was unheard of before.
Soon after, Izzy won the SSWA Rising Star Championship at HKW's flagship show event, Destiny (Chapter II). At the same time in FGA, Izzy found herself getting attacked by a masked man. The attacks became more heinous until it was revealed that the man behind it was one Dom Harter. Harter wished to complete his Grand Slam by defeating Izzy for the MAL title. They met at FGA's Final Frontier (2015). On that night, a chain reaction sparked. Dom Harter fell off the top rope (by both accident and Izzy's assistance), which led to him hurting her shoulder. At the moment, the crowd could only watch in scared silence as Izzy attacked Dom with intense malice. She won the match via submission after trapping Harter in her Amputator on the hurt shoulder. She then proceeded to try to end his career by battering him with a steel chair, but Harter was saved by Annie Zellor.
From that moment on, Izzy transfigured into a distrusting, malevolent woman. Her next defense came against Salem Cartier at Canadian Stampede. With the victory she attained there, Izzy tied Chandler Scott's record of four title defenses. She added a career to her list as she ended the career of SSWA's Wadjethetop by taking her mask in a Mask vs. Career match. In FGA, she continued her rampage by facing the likes of Annie Zellor and Savannah Taylor. She defeated both of them in singles action. Her match against Savannah Taylor was a title match. With that victory, Izzy crushed Chandler Scott's title defense record, taking it with five defenses.
Her legendary reign as Mid-Atlantic Legacy Champion ended at the Gold Rush Rumble of 2016 as she lost the belt to Annie Dupree (Zellor). However, her attention immediately turned away from the championship as her worst rival in FGA made his return. Stopping Izzy from taking out Dupree, Dom made his intentions known of settling their score. Izzy stalked Harter the same exact way that he did her until their feud culminated at All-Star Showdown V (a full year from her MAL Championship win). She lost the intense and bloody match, having to leave FGA on injury leave with broken ribs.
Yet, her streak of bad luck was not over yet. Firstly, she broke up with Emery Harrison, her fiancee, in the most heinous ways. A fight broke out in their home, which ended with Emery having to go to the hospital, falling into a coma and almost dying. Izzy then started a relationship with ECWF's own, Zoey Adler, their shared villainy coming together. However, Zoey's drama in ECWF came to hurt Izzy as well. On a fateful night, a masked individual stormed Zoey's home. After attacking Izzy and Zoey, the masked man kidnapped Izzy.
Unknown to the public, the individual who took her away was one Gage von Licht (Gage/Reville Kaiser of GFP/NKP/SSWA fame). The Kaisers (sans Sophie El and Artemis Kaiser) opted to take Izzy away to keep her away from the drama. Yet, there, Izzy realized the only way to keep Zoey safe (and satisfy her own want for vengeance) was to infiltrate ECWF and take down Lacey Allen Cohen herself. As such, she put on a mask and shrouded her identity. She became one half of the enigmatic figure known as Vestige.
Within two matches, she managed to strike Lacey Allen Cohen where it hurt. At Heatwave 2016, Izzy defeated and hospitalized Mia Scott for the ECWF Extreme Championship. She also attacked Lacey backstage as well. At the current moment, Izzy's getting mental treatment at Blackthorn Mental Institute. A vignette for her return has aired on the AfterBurn after FGA's Above and Beyond V. During her return, Izzy has made an effort to start taking down the heroes of FGA. She capped off her off and on again feud with Noelle Smith by defeating her once more. She entered the tournament to crown a new FGA World Champion during Zero McHannon's absence. She made it to the semi-finals where she lost out to Cordy Stevenson, the eventual winner.
During the 2017 season thus far, Izzy went on an undefeated run, where she knocked off names such as Ricky Valero, Dan Herrera, and Chris Bond. However, in the early half, she managed to secure herself a main event position when she won a Beat the Clock Challenge to ensure her first shot at the FGA World/Undisputed Championship.
At Only the Strong Survive 2017, Izzy made good on her promise to win the FGA Undisputed Championship by defeating Cordy Stevenson. Albeit, she did it with some help from her Heroes Never Die compatriot, Savannah Taylor. This is her first World Championship. The next day, she traveled to win the SSWA Titans of Trios tournament with Kenzie Rowe and Holly Chainsaw as the Canadian Chainsaw Massacre.
As the FGA Undisputed Champion and the leader of Heroes Never Die, Izzy Anders held up the company for their supposed treatment of her during her "traumatic" time against the villains of the company. Regardless of her intention, her execution was seeped in venom as she arrogantly tore apart the company. It wasn't until Johnny Karma stepped up that her reign of terror would come to an end. Despite a controversial defense at All-Star Showdown VI, Izzy would lose the championship to Karma in a Steel Cage Match at Trouble in Paradise.
Izzy's retaliation would be for her to get fired by attacking Leonard Asherman for "his involvement in her torment".
After the win, CCM went on to become the SSWA Trios Champions. They held onto the belts for 245 days and defended it five times, installing themselves as the greatest Trios in all of SSWA’s history. Vacating it to continue on their singles career, Izzy set out to complete the SSWA Grand Slam before Danielle Vasquez. She took a momentary stop, deciding to challenge Ashlyn de Luca. She would go on to defeat the former SSWA World Champion at Winter Wars 2018. As such, she set her sights on the SSWA Pure Championship, held by Elizabeth Lannister.
At SSWA Episode 90, Izzy got a chance to win in a triple threat involving Emily Carter and Elizabeth Lannister. She would come up short, due to outside interference. She was granted a rematch by the champion. At SSWA’s Olympus has Fallen, Izzy would defeat Emily Carter for the SSWA Pure Championship, narrowing her goal to just one championship. She would soon lose it back to Emily Carter at SSWA's Welcome to Japan supershow.
For FGA, Izzy found a way back in, signing back to the Vertigo brand. She made her re-debut in the 2018 Gold Rush Rumble. She eliminated Fujiko Mine, an old rival, before getting eliminated by Aria Eckhart.
During the buildup to SSWA's Crash and Burn, Izzy was able to challenge one of the early walls in her career, Danielle Vasquez. The two would share words and respect for one another until it was time to face off. In a heated match, Izzy was able to overcome her past and defeat the former SSWA World Champion.
Izzy's FGA return was a mixture of highs and lows, defeating names such as the former Mid-Atlantic Legacy Champion, Jaelynn Ramsey, but losing to the former HKW Global Champion, KOL. Despite this, Izzy offered her long-time rival, Fujiko Mine, an opportunity for a partnership in the 2018 Dynamic Duos Tournament. The two would butt heads from the get-go with the past playing a part in their demeanors, but Izzy proved herself to be a reliable tag team partner and likewise from Fujiko. Izzy would once again manage to defeat Danielle Vasquez as Fujiko and herself defeated the BAETeam (Danielle and Nick Redfield). Advancing onto the one-night elimination rounds, Fujiko and Izzy would go on to win the 2018 Dynamic Duos Tournament after defeating Sex & Mercy, the black horse team The Sweet, Sweet World of Jimmy Sprinklez, and finally, Best for Business.
Though she and Fujiko were a team, Izzy would lay down the challenge for the FGA Pride Championship that Fujiko held. Interestingly enough, it would be at FGA's Seven Year Anniversary, reflective of the event where they had their falling out. Izzy would go on to defeat Fujiko and win the FGA Pride Championship, her third championship in the company. She, unfortunately, would lose to Seth Iser at Final Frontier 2018 via dubious means.
At Revelations 2019, The Joker and The Thief finally came truly together and their efforts resulted in them winning the FGA US Tag Team Championships. With that victory, Izzy Anders became the 2nd FGA Triple Crown and Grand Slam Champion. The two would defend the championships at Only The Strong Survive 2019 against Susan Kent and Delikado. The result came as of Silk & Cyanide interfering, due to their loss to the reigning champions. Later that night, Izzy would also lose to Seth Iser in a Two Falls of Honor Match.
At All-Star Showdown VIII, The Joker and The Thief would go on to lose the FGA US Tag Team Championships to Silk and Cyanide in a triple threat. After which, the Mindkiller would engage in another match in their storied rivalry. This time, it was for the FGA World Championship. The match took place, and throughout the match, Izzy showed signs of holding back in an effort not to rely on her darkest instincts. Yet, Fujiko, disappointed in the act, drew out the Mindkiller. The match would end with Fujiko finally defeating her biggest rival.
From there, Izzy would go on to compete in the Wildcard Lottery. She would lose in the Semi-Finals to Neal Durden after interference from Johnny Karma. The newly christened John Carmichael would incite the wrath of the Mindkiller, who began another metamorphosis. The two would feud until All-Star Showdown IX, where they would collide in a Steel Cage Match. The thematic callback to their fateful bout at Trouble in Paradise. This time, Izzy would come out victorious, digging deep into relentless strategies in order to win.

ENTRANCE & ATTIRE
Entrance Music:
"Bad Dreams" by Phantogram
Ring Attire:
Ring Attire - Izzy will wear a black leotard with a nylon thigh highs underneath. She wears kickpads and boots with color coordination in mind. In her entrance, Izzy will wear an eyepatch with a crosshair painted on it. In addition, she wears a long black coat with “Mindkiller” sprayed on the back of it. Finally, she wears black fingerless gloves that she will tighten in regards to an attack.
Ring Entrance:
The hypnotic opening of “Bad Dreams” by Phantogram picks up throughout the arena and the lights fade into a cascade of fuschia and crimson.

As the colors play, the beats becomes harsher and invites Izzy Anders onto the stage. She dances around to the beat of the music until she makes to the center point of the stage. Scanning the arena with that Cheshire grin of hers, Izzy takes her time walking down the ramp. When she does, she does it with an egotistical saunter, knowing that she has the audience wrapped around her finger.

[ANNOUNCER CALL]
Izzy climbs the ring apron, turning her back to the ring to stare at the audience. She shifts down the ropes until she reaches the turnbuckle, ascending it with a delicate air. From there, she reaches methodically for her eyepatch, removing it with flair. She lowers it into her mouth, giving it a playful bite and giving the hard cam a wink. Izzy then scales down the turnbuckle into the ring, taking her coat off. A stagehand receives it in the only way Izzy does, a dramatic fling meant to blanket them in the immense coat. The Mindkiller then takes a seat a little off center of the ring, at the very tip of her corner. She sits there with her legs crossed, staring out to the audience as her song dies out.Championship Entrance:
[i][center]"THE CHAMP IS HERE!"[/center][/i]
Drum beat.
[i][center]"THE CHAMP IS HERE!"[/center][/i]

The intro of Jadakiss's "The Champ is Here" plays as a precursor to Izzy Anders' arrival, but before the final drum beat, Izzy’s derisive laugh overpowers it, cutting into it with static. As it fades, “Bad Dreams” by Phantogram starts to play. The arena gets covered in a gradient of fuschia and crimson.
[center][i]♫ Bad dreams never affect me

Izzy steps onto the stage out of a jet of smoke, standing with the championship slung over her chest. She starts down the ramp with a confident smirk, rocking the belt. When she stops in the middle of the ring, she slowly draws the championship away from herself. Raising it slowly, Izzy proclaims her status to the whole audience and anyone who might be watching.

She steps to the ring apron, jumping onto it. She spins on it for a moment before stopping in the center. Izzy takes the championship into her teeth, blasting her coat off with a dramatic flair--her arms are outstretched. She leans back on the ropes as her theme strikes up and the lights dawn on her. When she lowers, she hits the top turnbuckle.
The eyepatch begins to get peeled off, followed by a playful wink. She replaces the championship with the eyepatch to raise the championship high again. Izzy then leans back and begins to fall down to the apron. She sticks the landing gracefully and she descends down to the mat. With a somewhat seductive air, she scoots back to the center of the ring. Izzy then releases the eyepatch from her teeth and rises to her feet.
IF SHE ENTERS THE RING SECOND:
The eyepatch begins to get peeled off, followed by a playful wink. She replaces the championship with the eyepatch to raise the championship high again. Izzy then leans back and begins to fall down to the apron. She sticks the landing gracefully and she descends down to the mat. With a somewhat seductive air, she scoots back to the center of the ring. Izzy eyes her opponent from there, giving them the cheshire grin she’s known for before getting to her feet. She sends them a wink as well before going to her preparations.CHARACTER BACKGROUND

3. NO SPIDEY SENSE - Her style has evolved but at the cost of losing speed and a bit of her general knowledge of styles. Her "experience" has made her duller towards some mistakes she refused to make as a rookie. It's more now that she believes she can recover from it all. It doesn't help that her attitude makes her too casual towards most things. She may not recognize the danger she's actively in, because she just doesn't care. Not caring doesn't make you cool, Izzy; it can make you lose.

Background:
Izzy Anders has lived quite the tumultuous life. Her father died when she was young, due to gang activity. Her mother fell into depression and became a violent drunk. Refusing to take the abuse any longer, Izzy ran away into Canada. There, she lived as a drug pusher. She lost many of her friends, due to the life they lived. She had to kill some people. Eventually, she managed to escape the horrific lifestyle when she met one Artemis von Licht (famously known as Artemis Kaiser). Thanks in part of the girl taking a liking to her, Izzy was able to get a job and start her wrestling training alongside.
In mid-2015, Izzy joined Frontier Grappling Arts. She started off relatively hot but fell by the wayside until two important matches. The first one being her upset victory against Fujiko Mine, the former Mid-Atlantic Legacy Champion. That shocked FGA audiences and outside folks began to keep watch. The second victory is what pushed her to the front as one of 2015's hottest rookies. Izzy ended up competing and winning the Rookie X Cup because she wanted the prize money to get a young fan a surgery she needed. The heartwarming victory gave Izzy the ground to ask for a Mid-Atlantic Legacy Championship shot. At All-Star Showdown IV, she defeated Yun Go-eun and Noelle Smith for the championship.
At the same time, Izzy's wrestling endeavors expanded to the Shooting Star Wrestling Alliance. Despite losing the Rising Star Championship shot she got, Izzy kept on. At the same time, she became a figure of positively in wrestling. She met a girl named Emery Harrison, who she started a relationship with. She defended her Mid-Atlantic Legacy Championship, but at the same time, she began down a darker path. Namely, at FGA's 4th Year Anniversary show, she showed some hostility towards the returning Fujiko Mine that was unheard of before.
Soon after, Izzy won the SSWA Rising Star Championship at HKW's flagship show event, Destiny (Chapter II). At the same time in FGA, Izzy found herself getting attacked by a masked man. The attacks became more heinous until it was revealed that the man behind it was one Dom Harter. Harter wished to complete his Grand Slam by defeating Izzy for the MAL title. They met at FGA's Final Frontier (2015). On that night, a chain reaction sparked. Dom Harter fell off the top rope (by both accident and Izzy's assistance), which led to him hurting her shoulder. At the moment, the crowd could only watch in scared silence as Izzy attacked Dom with intense malice. She won the match via submission after trapping Harter in her Amputator on the hurt shoulder. She then proceeded to try to end his career by battering him with a steel chair, but Harter was saved by Annie Zellor.
From that moment on, Izzy transfigured into a distrusting, malevolent woman. Her next defense came against Salem Cartier at Canadian Stampede. With the victory she attained there, Izzy tied Chandler Scott's record of four title defenses. She added a career to her list as she ended the career of SSWA's Wadjethetop by taking her mask in a Mask vs. Career match. In FGA, she continued her rampage by facing the likes of Annie Zellor and Savannah Taylor. She defeated both of them in singles action. Her match against Savannah Taylor was a title match. With that victory, Izzy crushed Chandler Scott's title defense record, taking it with five defenses.
Her legendary reign as Mid-Atlantic Legacy Champion ended at the Gold Rush Rumble of 2016 as she lost the belt to Annie Dupree (Zellor). However, her attention immediately turned away from the championship as her worst rival in FGA made his return. Stopping Izzy from taking out Dupree, Dom made his intentions known of settling their score. Izzy stalked Harter the same exact way that he did her until their feud culminated at All-Star Showdown V (a full year from her MAL Championship win). She lost the intense and bloody match, having to leave FGA on injury leave with broken ribs.
Yet, her streak of bad luck was not over yet. Firstly, she broke up with Emery Harrison, her fiancee, in the most heinous ways. A fight broke out in their home, which ended with Emery having to go to the hospital, falling into a coma and almost dying. Izzy then started a relationship with ECWF's own, Zoey Adler, their shared villainy coming together. However, Zoey's drama in ECWF came to hurt Izzy as well. On a fateful night, a masked individual stormed Zoey's home. After attacking Izzy and Zoey, the masked man kidnapped Izzy.
Unknown to the public, the individual who took her away was one Gage von Licht (Gage/Reville Kaiser of GFP/NKP/SSWA fame). The Kaisers (sans Sophie El and Artemis Kaiser) opted to take Izzy away to keep her away from the drama. Yet, there, Izzy realized the only way to keep Zoey safe (and satisfy her own want for vengeance) was to infiltrate ECWF and take down Lacey Allen Cohen herself. As such, she put on a mask and shrouded her identity. She became one half of the enigmatic figure known as Vestige.
Within two matches, she managed to strike Lacey Allen Cohen where it hurt. At Heatwave 2016, Izzy defeated and hospitalized Mia Scott for the ECWF Extreme Championship. She also attacked Lacey backstage as well. At the current moment, Izzy's getting mental treatment at Blackthorn Mental Institute. A vignette for her return has aired on the AfterBurn after FGA's Above and Beyond V. During her return, Izzy has made an effort to start taking down the heroes of FGA. She capped off her off and on again feud with Noelle Smith by defeating her once more. She entered the tournament to crown a new FGA World Champion during Zero McHannon's absence. She made it to the semi-finals where she lost out to Cordy Stevenson, the eventual winner.
During the 2017 season thus far, Izzy went on an undefeated run, where she knocked off names such as Ricky Valero, Dan Herrera, and Chris Bond. However, in the early half, she managed to secure herself a main event position when she won a Beat the Clock Challenge to ensure her first shot at the FGA World/Undisputed Championship.
At Only the Strong Survive 2017, Izzy made good on her promise to win the FGA Undisputed Championship by defeating Cordy Stevenson. Albeit, she did it with some help from her Heroes Never Die compatriot, Savannah Taylor. This is her first World Championship. The next day, she traveled to win the SSWA Titans of Trios tournament with Kenzie Rowe and Holly Chainsaw as the Canadian Chainsaw Massacre.
As the FGA Undisputed Champion and the leader of Heroes Never Die, Izzy Anders held up the company for their supposed treatment of her during her "traumatic" time against the villains of the company. Regardless of her intention, her execution was seeped in venom as she arrogantly tore apart the company. It wasn't until Johnny Karma stepped up that her reign of terror would come to an end. Despite a controversial defense at All-Star Showdown VI, Izzy would lose the championship to Karma in a Steel Cage Match at Trouble in Paradise.
Izzy's retaliation would be for her to get fired by attacking Leonard Asherman for "his involvement in her torment".
After the win, CCM went on to become the SSWA Trios Champions. They held onto the belts for 245 days and defended it five times, installing themselves as the greatest Trios in all of SSWA’s history. Vacating it to continue on their singles career, Izzy set out to complete the SSWA Grand Slam before Danielle Vasquez. She took a momentary stop, deciding to challenge Ashlyn de Luca. She would go on to defeat the former SSWA World Champion at Winter Wars 2018. As such, she set her sights on the SSWA Pure Championship, held by Elizabeth Lannister.
At SSWA Episode 90, Izzy got a chance to win in a triple threat involving Emily Carter and Elizabeth Lannister. She would come up short, due to outside interference. She was granted a rematch by the champion. At SSWA’s Olympus has Fallen, Izzy would defeat Emily Carter for the SSWA Pure Championship, narrowing her goal to just one championship. She would soon lose it back to Emily Carter at SSWA's Welcome to Japan supershow.
For FGA, Izzy found a way back in, signing back to the Vertigo brand. She made her re-debut in the 2018 Gold Rush Rumble. She eliminated Fujiko Mine, an old rival, before getting eliminated by Aria Eckhart.
During the buildup to SSWA's Crash and Burn, Izzy was able to challenge one of the early walls in her career, Danielle Vasquez. The two would share words and respect for one another until it was time to face off. In a heated match, Izzy was able to overcome her past and defeat the former SSWA World Champion.
Izzy's FGA return was a mixture of highs and lows, defeating names such as the former Mid-Atlantic Legacy Champion, Jaelynn Ramsey, but losing to the former HKW Global Champion, KOL. Despite this, Izzy offered her long-time rival, Fujiko Mine, an opportunity for a partnership in the 2018 Dynamic Duos Tournament. The two would butt heads from the get-go with the past playing a part in their demeanors, but Izzy proved herself to be a reliable tag team partner and likewise from Fujiko. Izzy would once again manage to defeat Danielle Vasquez as Fujiko and herself defeated the BAETeam (Danielle and Nick Redfield). Advancing onto the one-night elimination rounds, Fujiko and Izzy would go on to win the 2018 Dynamic Duos Tournament after defeating Sex & Mercy, the black horse team The Sweet, Sweet World of Jimmy Sprinklez, and finally, Best for Business.
Though she and Fujiko were a team, Izzy would lay down the challenge for the FGA Pride Championship that Fujiko held. Interestingly enough, it would be at FGA's Seven Year Anniversary, reflective of the event where they had their falling out. Izzy would go on to defeat Fujiko and win the FGA Pride Championship, her third championship in the company. She, unfortunately, would lose to Seth Iser at Final Frontier 2018 via dubious means.
At Revelations 2019, The Joker and The Thief finally came truly together and their efforts resulted in them winning the FGA US Tag Team Championships. With that victory, Izzy Anders became the 2nd FGA Triple Crown and Grand Slam Champion. The two would defend the championships at Only The Strong Survive 2019 against Susan Kent and Delikado. The result came as of Silk & Cyanide interfering, due to their loss to the reigning champions. Later that night, Izzy would also lose to Seth Iser in a Two Falls of Honor Match.
At All-Star Showdown VIII, The Joker and The Thief would go on to lose the FGA US Tag Team Championships to Silk and Cyanide in a triple threat. After which, the Mindkiller would engage in another match in their storied rivalry. This time, it was for the FGA World Championship. The match took place, and throughout the match, Izzy showed signs of holding back in an effort not to rely on her darkest instincts. Yet, Fujiko, disappointed in the act, drew out the Mindkiller. The match would end with Fujiko finally defeating her biggest rival.
From there, Izzy would go on to compete in the Wildcard Lottery. She would lose in the Semi-Finals to Neal Durden after interference from Johnny Karma. The newly christened John Carmichael would incite the wrath of the Mindkiller, who began another metamorphosis. The two would feud until All-Star Showdown IX, where they would collide in a Steel Cage Match. The thematic callback to their fateful bout at Trouble in Paradise. This time, Izzy would come out victorious, digging deep into relentless strategies in order to win.
