Santana
One of the most prolific women wrestlers in the pro-am / topless sub-genre, Santana worked with a huge variety of producers during her career: Academy Videos, Dani Ashe Productions, Double Trouble, Leather & Lace, O-Zone, Steel Kittens, STJ, and more. Santana was best known early on for her work with Steel Kittens, and then later for her work at Double Trouble. Santana appeared in over 100 matches with DT and along with Mia Walters, was generally regarded as the "company's face" for many years. Under her real name, Santana also had small acting parts in several B-movies.
Early in her career, Santana was primarily a "looks" wrestler, but she did work hard including martial arts lessons, and by the early 2000s her ring skills had improved considerably. Gifted with a beautiful physique, Santana was famous for her long black hair, which Steel Kittens and DT actually wrote into the storylines of several matches. Throughout her career, almost all of her matches were of the bikini wrestling variety.
During the 1990s when Santana was wrestling for Steel Kittens, a rumor passed around the early internet stated that Santana was the wrestler who portrayed Spanish Red in the 1980s G.L.O.W. promotion. They were not the same person, despite an uncanny resemblance.
Santana stepped away from the wrestling scene in 2005, but came back out of retirement shortly before her passing.
Death
On 11 October 2015, the Torrance Police Department stated that Tina Lawrence was shot to death by a man she was dating. The suspect apparently then shot himself.
