Penelope Ford

Penelope Ford (born September 14, 1992) came into this world as Olivia Hasler and will leave the earth with an indelible mark on All Elite Wrestling (where she is signed to). She is also known for her work in Combat Zone Wrestling. The American professional wrestler is a talented athlete, though she still is in the process of breaking the ceiling to become an outstanding sportswoman. To let you know who Penelope is, we present you with these ten facts you probably didn’t know about her. First of, we present you with her real name: Olivia Hasler!

Penelope Ford: 10 Impressive Things About The “All Elite”

1. Real name:

Penelope was born Olivia Hasler, on September 14th, 1992, making her 27 years old. According to Pro-wrestling fandom, the American female fighter grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. She currently resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There is no much information on her family, including her parents and her siblings. 

2. Body measurement: 

Pro-wrestling is a competitive sport even if there are scripts to guide the storylines and character development, but as a female wrestler, any kind of toned athletic body works to the advantage of the wrestlers. Penelope’s billed stats according to her Wikipedia page, are a height of 5 ft 4 in or 1.63 meters. While there have been issues from this sport’s fan base concerning billed stats, for Ford, it seems to be real, more so if you have seen her live in action. 

3. Gymnastics and Cheerleading was her first passion:

Before she got into the squared ring, this sportswoman was already used to a strict exercising regime and also a large audience. Why? Well, Olivia Hasler (now famous as Penelope) was both a cheerleader and a gymnast, a skill you can notice from the moves she pulls against her opponents. 

4. Getting into Pro-wrestling:

Penelope Ford loved wrestling and first started training at the Combat Zone Wrestling Academy, based in Voorhees in New Jersey. She then made her wrestling debut for Combat Zone Wrestling in 2014. It was the December 17th Dojo Wars episode, in a tag team match putting her and her partner, George Gatton, against Frankie Prichard and Conor Claxton. She won the match. Two weeks later, Olivia Hasler (now famous as Penelope) won her first singles event in the promotion when she took on Dave McCall. 

The next year, Penelope Ford took part in several tag team matches where she picked up decent wins against her opponents. Joining CZW was a good move for the pro wrestler as it is one of the best independent wrestling promotions in the United States.

Notable names to have battled with CZW include Drew Gulak, Jon Moxley, and Lio Rush; the latter two earnedthe company’s heavyweight championship. 

5. Tag Team Specialist:

For the most part of her 5-year career, Olivia Hasler (now famous as Penelope Ford) has taken part in several tag team matches (including a couple of intergender competitions). 

Always delivering her best and her tag team prowess, she led her team to several wins earning several championships that we shall see later on in this article. 

6. Championships:

In wrestling and all sports under the combat tag, gaining a title indirectly means that you are the best in your respective class. During her career, Penelope has earned some championships- so need we say more? 

Her championships include the tag team victory, which she won from two promotions, Queens of Combat and Women Superstars Uncensored. In both victories, she partnered with Maria Manic.
