Veda Scott has done pretty much everything that you can do
in professional wrestling and has excelled in a style all their own. They have been a wrestler, an announcer, an
interviewer, and a manager for the top companies in the country including ROH
and AEW. They have always been someone
who has stood out from the pack especially in announcing, which they have been
doing a lot of recently and they have an incredible and unique take on the
action in the ring.
Veda was trained by Daizee Haze and Delirious at the ROH Dojo. As a side note, if you have never seen Daizee
Haze wrestle before I totally recommend checking out some of her matches, as she
was a women’s wrestler that was ahead of her time. Veda’s first major exposure came as a backstage
interviewer for ROH. They excelled at that
job and then became a manager for R.D Evans using their background as a lawyer
to help him win matches. During this time,
they were also wrestling for such top independent promotions as AIW, AAW, Smash
Wresting and the top women’s promotion in the country, Shimmer. Veda also wrestled in Japan during this time,
teaming with Io Shirai in Stardom as well as working the Joshi 4 Hope show in
Tokyo.
One of my favorite times in Veda’s career was their time in
AIW and their partnership and eventual feud with Gregory Iron. This showed not only Veda’s skills in the
ring, but also their range as a performer. Veda and Greg teamed to form Hope and Change
and won the tag team championship. As
the tag team was starting to break up, Greg professed his love for Veda. Veda rejected Greg’s proposal and that is
when their feud turned violent. The feud
came to an end in a brutal cage match at AIW’s Battle of the Sexes, where Veda
defeated Greg. Veda later teamed up with Josh Alexander who helped them win the
AIW women’s championship in a four-way match that included Athena (now known as
Ember Moon), Candice LeRae and Mickie James. Josh Alexander also held the AIW Absolute
Championship which he eventually lost to Rickey Shane Page. This led to a match between RSP and Veda at
the 2nd Battle of the Sexes for the AIW Absolute Championship, where
RSP got the victory by putting Veda through a table.
Veda has wrestled all over the world and against some of the
top wrestlers, be it men, women or nonbinary.
They have been to Europe on multiple occasions, taking on some of the
top competitors in Ireland, Germany and England. They have also had multiple tours of Japan and
have been a regular in some of the top promotions in Canada. They have also been
in the ring with some of the biggest stars in wresting today. These include wrestlers that are currently in
Impact like Kimber Lee, Jordynne Grace and Deonna Purazzo, along with stars of
AEW like Ethan Page, Evil Uno and Kris Statlander, and current stars of the WWE
like Nikki Cross, Cedric Alexander and Shayna Baszler.
Recently Veda has been doing a lot of commentary. Most notably they commentated for AEW’s Women’s
tag team cup tournament and AEW Dark to very positive reviews. They have also announced for Shimmer, Rise,
and most recently WWR, Enjoy and MV Young’s PolyAm Cult Party 4. As a commentor Veda brings an incredible amount
of knowledge and enthusiasm to any show that they are on and makes sure that they
give the wrestlers and the action in the ring the respect that they
deserve.
Veda currently has a twitch channel that is very
entertaining. They typically stream 5 days
a week either by themselves or with their partner Speedball Mike Bailey. A lot of times Veda will stream wrestling matches
and give their point of view on the action.
Sometimes they just talk to their viewers about a variety of topics
which more times than not takes a turn to food and their favorite condiment, mustard. They also have a Patreon, where you can get an
inside look at Veda in and out of the ring.
