MaryKate Duignan Glidewell[9] (born January 17, 1985) is an American professional wrestler, best known for working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling under the ring name Rosie Lottalove. Prior to her stint in TNA, she first became known for her work in other promotions under the ring name Betsy Ruth. After five years of being a professional wrestler, she retired on June 24, 2012 due to injures; she resumed her career in October 2014, after losing nearly 130 pounds.[10]

Professional wrestling career

Independent circuit and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2007–2010)

Glidewell trained under tag team Team 3D at their Team 3D Academy of Professional Wrestling and Sports Entertainment in Kissimmee, Florida.[3] She made her professional wrestling debut in 2007 under the ring name Betsy Ruth. As part of her gimmick, Ruth was billed as the great-granddaughter of Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Babe Ruth and would wear attire involving pin stripes like the New York Yankees and face paint, similar to the Baseball Furies gang from the film The Warriors. She signed with World Xtreme Wrestling (WXW) in late 2008. Making her debut as Betsy Ruth, she took part in the Women's Elite 8 Tournament in 2008, but lost to eventual tournament winner Mercedes Martinez. In the 2009 tournament, Ruth defeated Josie in the first round, Kimberly in the semifinals, and Sarona Snuka in the finals to win the Elite 8 Tournament. At the January 9, 2010 edition of WXW, Ruth faced Kimberly to determine the next Women's Champion, but was unsuccessful in winning the title.

Glidewell took part in the first season tapings of Wrestlicious, performing under the ring name Sister Ophelia as the manager of the Naughty Girls (Charity, Faith, and Hope).[6] The team made their debut on the fifth episode, where Faith and Hope were defeated by Paige Webb and Charlotte in a tag team match.[11]

On April 20, 2010, Glidewell wrestled a tryout dark match for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) under the ring name Miss Betsy, during which she accidentally injured her opponent, Daffney.[5][12] On May 12, it was announced Duignan had signed a deal with TNA.[3][3][13][13] On the June 3 edition of Impact! Duignan made her debut as a face, using the ring name Rosie Lottalove and losing to Roxxi after refusing to take advantage of an interference from the Knockouts Champion Madison Rayne. Afterward, Lottalove knocked out Rayne and claimed that she would take her down and The Beautiful People altogether.[14] However, after wrestling only two more matches for TNA, one a non-televised match and the other on Xplosion, Lottalove's profile was removed from the company's official website on August 19, 2010, confirming her departure from TNA.[15][16][17][18]

Japan and retirement (2011–2012)

On May 15, 2011, Glidewell made her debut for Japanese promotion World Woman Pro-Wrestling Diana, working under the ring name Andrea Mother and defeating Kyoko Inoue in the main event.[2][19] On July 10, she teamed with Aja Kong to defeat Inoue and Kaoru Ito in a tag team match.[20] Mother's and Kong's partnership also carried over to the Happy Hour promotion, where they were defeated by Inoue and Sareee on September 4.[21] On September 10, Inoue defeated Mother in a rematch.[22]

On June 24, 2012, Glidewell announced on her Twitter account that she would retire due to injuries.[23]

Return (2014–present)

In October 2014, Glidewell, now 127 pounds lighter, made her return to professional wrestling under the ring name Andréa.[10] She appeared at the tapings for the TNA pay-per-view Knockouts Knockdown 3 on February 14, 2015, where she lost to Awesome Kong.[24]

WWE

In June 2015, Glidewell took part in a WWE tryout camp. She took part in the October 22, 2015, NXT tapings, losing to Emma.[4]
