Biography
Early career
Adamo grew
up in New York
City
. After growing up in the
club scene and was heading for a
modeling career, she opted to turn to a
professional wrestling career.
Extreme Championship Wrestling
Adamo adopted the stage name
Elektra after working
the Northeastern Independent circuit and eventually joining
Extreme Championship
Wrestling (ECW). She made her debut as a "gift" from
Cyrus the Virus to
Danny
Doring. After only a couple weeks, Adamo became the manager of
Doring and
Roadkill. She
turned on them at
Living Dangerously 2000, costing
them a match against
CW Anderson and
Billy Wiles. After the match she joined
The
Network. She
worked alongside

and Wiles, proceeding to
feud against Roadkill and
Doring.
On an episode of
ECW on TNN in April
2000, Anderson and Wiles defeated Roadkill and Doring in which
Adamo would have had to strip had Anderson and Wiles lost. She
moved on to feud with
Jazz and at
Hardcore Heaven had her
shirt ripped off by Jazz. She "lashed out" at
Paul Heyman for not helping her when he had the
chance, and stated that she would get revenge by forming an
alliance with Lou. Soon after Adamo would go on to manage fellow
tag team
Hot Commodity combined of ECW
wrestlers
Chris Hamrick,
Julio Dinero and
EZ
Money.
