History Wrestling / SaraDelRey

* BareYourMidriff: Has a blue and white outfit that bears half of her midriff. One of her American Angel outfits bared the sides of her midriff, which was mirrored by Allison Danger's red, white and blue maple leaf gear. Another bared all but a small portion of the front of it.

* ShesGotLegs: She received just this response while entering the ring for her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8H3vswZQlE&t=1s promo]] at ''SHIMMER 22'', October 19, 2008. However, her reaction was more like ComplimentBackfire, since she didn't want people to focus on her looks.

* OralFixationFixation: Chewing gum is one of her biggest weaknesses.

* TheWorfEffect: One of the downsides to being recognized as the best. Wrestling/{{Kana|koUrai}}'s entry into SHIMMER was preceded by clips of Sara Del Rey (and Melissa) being blanked by her and Del Rey remained winless against Kana in SHIMMER (unlike Melissa ), though outside of the promotion, Del Rey has prevailed against Kana in the overwhelming majority of their encounters.

* TheAce: She won all three of her matches over the ''CHIKARA Wrestling/{{JoshiMania}}'' weekend, including ''defeating'' Wrestling/AjaKong on night one.

* {{Meganekko}}: She's quite beautiful without glasses on, but whenever she puts them on...

Sara Ann Amato (born November 13, 1980 in Martinez, UsefulNotes/{{California}}) is an American retired {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er, manager and trainer who is better known as Sara Del Rey. She started as Nikki with All Pro Wrestling in Hayward in 2001, before going to work for the UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}ese [=ARSION=] promotion. She worked for various promotions in the U.S., UsefulNotes/{{Mexico}} and in Japan, including appearing on the first ever Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}} show. Along with [=SHIMMER=], she is best known for her work in Wrestling/RingOfHonor and Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}. She has also competed for Wrestling/WrestlingSocietyX, Wrestling/AllJapanProWrestling, and did two house show (non-televised event) matches for Wrestling/{{TNA}}, one in 2009 and one in 2010. Among her in-ring achievements, she was an Impact Zone Wrestling Women's Champion, the first ever [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/il/shimmer/shimmer-s.html SHIMMER Champion]] and a 1x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/il/shimmer/shimmer-t.html SHIMMER Tag Team Champion]] with Courtney Rush as the Queens of Winning, the only Canadian Wrestling Revolution Women's Champion, a Pure Wrestling Association Tag Team Champion with Juan Ortiz, a 1x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/e/world1/world1-wm.html Pro Wrestling SUN Champion]] and Remix Pro Wrestling's first Women's Champion. She is considered one of the best wrestlers in the world today ''regardless'' of gender. In 2012, she [[TheMentor became a trainer]] for Wrestling/{{WWE}}. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_Del_Rey The Other Wiki]] has a page on her too.

* FallacyOfDivision: Despite Rain and Lacey repeatedly losing to them in singles competition, Lacey mocked Mercedes Martinez for thinking she and Del Rey could beat them in a tag team match, which proved to be the case when Del Rey accidentally booted Martinez in the head. Sara would find the chemistry necessary to beat them with Daizee Haze and Nikki Roxx though.

* TokenEvilTeammate: ''CHIKARA King of Trios 2010'', Night I, April 23, 2010 was supposed to have featured a match between Team Mexico (Skayde[=/=][=Turbo=][=/=]El Valiente) and the BDK team of Claudio Castagnoli, Ares and Tursas. Team Mexico didn't appear due to El Valiente getting double booked and wrestling on the Wrestling/{{CMLL}} show instead. Skayde apparently tried to hold up CHIKARA for more money, leading to the company cutting all ties with him. Names were drawn out of a hat for a replacement team. The first names were [[Characters/WWETagTeams Well Dunn]], but, sadly, Steve Dunn had passed away a year earlier. Then they drew [[Wrestling/TitoSantana Strike]] [[Wrestling/RickMartel Force]], who were not there. Then they drew CHIKARA regulars Wrestling/TheOsirianPortal (Amasis and Ophidian), who, of course, were there and came out to the cheers of the crowd. Then Sara's name was drawn, meaning the Portal was teamed with a BDK member against three BDK members. During the match, Sara broke up the Ophidian Death Grip on Claudio by [[GroinAttack kicking Ophidian low]]. [[LoopholeAbuse She couldn't be DQ'd because it was her own partner]]. The BDK won, of course, with Ophidian taking the Ragnarok for the pin.

* ActionHeroine: '''Trained''' by Wrestling/BryanDanielson, '''defeated''' Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli and beat the crap out of Jakob Hammermeier. She pinned Tim Donst to win Chikara's 2011 Torneo [=Cibernetico=], making her the [[BreakingTheGlassCeiling first]] and so far only woman to do so. Earlier in the same match, she pinned Wrestling/DieBruderschaftDesKreuzes' monster Wrestling/{{Tursas}}. Past opponents such as Wrestling/ChuckTaylor, who she also defeated, have put her over on commentary as a badass.

** Originally Wrestling/DaizeeHaze in JAPW and Ring of Honor but then they teamed up and it became everyone in CHIKARA during their BDK run. Her last feud in CHIKARA was with Wrestling/TheBatiri.

* HighSchoolDance: She did a photo shoot for the defunct texasanarchy.com with Wrestling/ArikCannon that looked like they were dressed up for this.

** Die Brüderschaft des Kreuzes (BDK) (with Ares, Tursas, Claudio Castagnoli, Daizee Haze, Wrestling/PinkieSanchez, Tim Donst, Lince Dorado, [[Wrestling/HunterJohnston Delirious]], Derek Sabato, Jakob Hammermeier, and Dieter Von Steigerwalt [Hydra]).

* UnnecessaryRoughness: At ''A World of Comforting Illusions,'' Incoherence (Wrestling/{{Hallowicked}} and Wrestling/{{Frightmare}}) defeated Sara and Daizee by DQ for this reason after Sara piledrove Frightmare ''four times'' without bothering to go for a cover. This is also why the Death Kongs were unable to win the SHIMMER tag team titles, they were too interested with hurting people to let disqualifications stop them.

* TheWorfEffect: One of the downsides to being recognized as the best. Wrestling/{{Kana|koUrai}}'s entry into SHIMMER was preceded by clips of Sara Del Rey (and Melissa) being blanked by her and Del Rey remained winless against Kana in SHIMMER (unlike Melissa ), though outside of the promotion, Del Rey has prevailed against Kana in the overwhelming majority of their encounters..

** Death Rey subjected [[UsefulNotes/MixedMartialArts XFC]] cage doll dancer (and former queen of FCW) Wrestling/AngelaFong to an extended {{squash|match}} to prove models can't be wrestlers, at least not good wrestlers. Sara had no problems tagging with Santana Garret, "the model", before that incident but later became dismissive of her too, demanding [[Wrestling/CarleneMoore Jazz]] after pinning Garret at ''Evolve 14''(you can thank Kanellis for Del Rey's change in attitude).

* UrExample: Besides the SHIMMER and Remix Titles, Del Rey was also the first woman to hold a Pure Wrestling Association tag team title and was the first and only JAPW women's champion until Chicks Using Nasty Tactics [[Wrestling/PrincessKimberlee Kimber Lee]] and Annie Social battled it out to decide who would be her successor four years later. Del Rey successfully defended the belt for at least three years until training WWE superstars seemed to get in the way of title defenses.
