Career
editTeam Blondage
editAfter an injury Amber Holly returned to the ring on May 16, 2004, adopting the ring name Amber O'Neal and the gimmick of a motocross racer.[1][2] She changed her name because of her respect for Nora Greenwald, who used the ringname Molly Holly.[3] Greenwald helped O'Neal in her tryout matches with World Wrestling Entertainment.[3]
In late 2004, O'Neal formed a tag team with Krissy Vaine known as Team Blondage.[1] The team wrestled primarily on the North Carolina independent circuit, appearing with promotions such as Shimmer Women Athletes and Women's Extreme Wrestling. Team Blondage defeated Cle-ho-patra and Navaho to win the vacant WEW Tag Team Championship on May 8, 2005 at the WEW pay-per-view "No Ho's Barred". In the course of their reign, Vaine signed a contract with WWE. Vaine was subsequently replaced within Team Blondage by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling alumna Lollipop. On the April 6, 2006 WEW pay-per-view, O'Neal and Lollipop lost the WEW Women's Tag Team Championship to T and A (Talia and April Hunter).
Team Blondage 2.0
editAfter a long term hiatus prior leaving WWE and the wrestling business for over a year, it was announced that Krissy Vaine decided to return to the wrestling industry and reunite with her Team Blondage partner, Amber O'Neal.[4] They have now announced themselves to be dubbed, Team Blondage 2.0. They would go on to win their return match they have won against the Scream Queens (Daffney and MsChif).
