Exclusive: 'Survivor: The Amazon' winner Jenna Morasca becomes pro wrestler

Categories: Survivor

Jennamorasca_lEW.com has learned exclusively that Survivor: Amazon winner Jenna Morasca will now try to survive in the ring in her new career: professional wrestler. The woman who once got naked for chocolate and peanut butter (and later on the cover of Playboy) has joined TNA Wrestling and will make her debut Thursday, March 12, at 9 p.m. on Spike TV’s TNA iMPACT. "Everyone is covered in glitter and makeup and stuff and then goes and beats the crap out of each other," says Morasca about what attracted her to wrestling. "This is perfect for me."

Although she won’t actually wrestle at first, Morasca will indeed start fighting after taking a crash course in the "sport." Unfortunately, the 28-year-old reality star has declined to take on a sassy new name/identity for the ring. "I’m gonna be me because it’s more beneficial to know it’s me from Survivor," she explains. "If I had to take a name, it would be a terrible stripper name like Candy Cane Lane." (Naturally.) And what happens if someone puts chocolate and peanut butter in the ring? "Oh, then it’s on! Death to all!"

    well her buddy on the show, heidi, is doing much better despite not winning it all, it seems. married to the mvp of the world champion philadelphia phillies.
    honestly, though, i’m not surprised. i never thought of it happening, but i never thought of her at all…
    go phils!

    GTFO!! That does not even look like Jenna in the picture at all! Correct me if I’m wrong, but shouldn’t a female wrestler have a little more muscle on them to handle the stunts better? hahahaha this ho will do anything for money, seriously

  • Jewels

    whatever happened to Boston Rob and Amber?

  • Tim Lade

    Good lord…15 minutes was up long ago dude.

  • Zach

    Forget about her professional aspirations — is she still with ETHAN??

  • orville

    Amazing how quickly $1 million runs out nowadays. Can’t imagine that she’s still with Ethan if she’s heading down this career path.

  • Everett W.

    The sad thing is that women who have worked their whole adult lives to become credible pro wrestlers will have to lose to this non-entity.

  • kristin

    If you check her website it has a picture of her and Ethan and says they are walking the Great Wall of China together. I would assume they are still very much together.

  • Frank McCormick

    This is very sad… didn’t Jonny Fairplay already try this. I wouldn’t want to be following his career path. I think that guy is in jail now.

  • Billy

    Fairplay is NOT in jail you Jabroni! There has been several Survivors that have been or are currently prowrestlers. Bubba Sampson wrestled as Romeo Bliss in WCW before he was on Survivor. I am trained by Hall of Famer Johnny Rodz and have wrestled on the indy curcuit before doing survivor and still do wrestle from time to time for charity. http://entertainersthatcare.com/SAWETCREALITYRUMBLE3.html
    I’ve wrestled against Mookie Lee from Survivor: Fiji in the AWA as well as against Fairplay for charity.
    We all know about ASHLEY MASSARO having been on Survivor. And for the record WE ALL SAY SURVIVOR IS A LOT HARDER TO DO THAN PROWRESTLING!
    I think Hulk Hogan’s CCW proved that if properly trained, a celeb can work matches! Maybe someday we’ll see Bonaduche vs Fairplay.

  • Carli

    WTF?!

  • Sarah R

    Wow this is pathetic!! Wrestling? Are you kidding?? I guess she can’t say no to anything!

  • rey

    tna will sign pretty any “celebrity?”

  • Billy

    Nothing wrong with persuing a dream! Go Jenna!

  • john

    Glad to see her in TNA.

  • nick

    jenna amber and heidi in a 3 some would be cool
