History Wrestling / IvelisseVelez

* RealSongThemeTune
** "The Outsider" by A Perfect Circle.
** "Love Dem Gun Sounds" by Waka Flocka Flame

* KickTheSonOfABitch: SHINE 43 saw her and Holidead join forces to stomp Aria Blake flat out of annoyance for ''Candy Cartwright'''s UnsportsmanlikeGloating over their time limit draw in the Nova tournament. Her actions with Cartwright's "[[TerribleTrio Cutie Pie Club]]" surely earned Blake a beating, [[LaserGuidedKarma just not from them]].

* BreakUpBreakout
** Sofia Cortez and {{Wrestling/Paige}} were the "Anti-Diva Army" in FCW but had split by the first episode of NXT. She would be released not too later — while Paige would become the first NXT Women's Champion and later Divas' Champion. It should be noted that Britani Knight was more famous than Ivelisse before they were repackaged and put together, even taking Vélez's fleeting stints in larger companies like Tough Enough into account. The gap was filled in somewhat by Vélez's Lucha Underground run but it wasn't closed.
** Notable in that both ladies kept the 'Anti Diva' gimmick but took it in different directions and became hugely popular for the stages they wrestled on as a result—it's just that Paige is on a much bigger stage than Ivelisse.

* {{Cameo}}: She's appeared on ''Tattoo Nightmares''

* CheapPop: Throwing t-shirts into the crowd of the Chicago Style Wrestling shows, particularly in her last match before WWE Tough Enough.

* DragonWithAnAgenda: [[LegionOfDoom Rain and Made In Sin]] felt they were wronged by SHINE Wrestling and generally wanted to make a mess of things. Ivelisse Vélez wanted to prove she was the best wrestler in the world and did not hide her intentions to fight her stablemates if they got in the way of that, figuring as long as promotion's title belts stayed in the stable, their goals were not incompatible. When Rain accidentally clubbed Ivelisse, allowing Mia Yim to bypass her in the title contender's tournament, Vélez was forgiving of Rain but intimated she still was aiming to defeat her and become the second champion. The only reason she was hesitant about her shot at Rain when it finally was granted had to do with it coming on the word of boss lady Lexi Fyfe, one of the stable's defacto enemies, rather than some dominance displaying victory that would force the boss to give her a shot. Vélez saw it as DivideAndConquer attempt but concluded the stable was strong enough to endure. (It was, it just endured without her)

** Due to having unbelievably good matches, especially with Mia Yim, fans couldn't resist cheering for her - and she was named number one contender to Rain's SHINE title belt as a result. Lexi Fyfe insisted it was because of her solid wrestling and positive response rather than to breakup a group formed for the sole purpose of subverting her company but Vélez was kicked out of Valkyrie anyway.

** Santana Garrett, prior to joining Valkyrie. After being kicked out the two have been described as "frienemies".

* ByTheHair: {{Subverted|Trope}}: In an AWE match where Vélez lost her grip due accidentally ripping Kiera Hogan's out. Hopefully that was an extension. Later played straight against Hogan's partner, Aria Blake.

* EasyComeEasyGo: Lost the FWE Women's title belt to Candice [=LeRae=] the day she won it.

* WoundedGazelleGambit: Showed up for her SHINE 9 match against [[Wrestling/CarleneMoore Jazz]] with tape around her ribs, suggesting she was injured from her SHINE 8 encounter where she took Wrestling/AngelinaLove's botox injection, Wrestling/ChristinaVonEerie's 138, a [=SkyYim=] and an Amazing Press. Those who watched TNA knew Ivelisse was just fine but Jazz fell for it and as a result, ended up choked out with Ivelisse's bandages.

Despite her elimination, she impressed WWE officials and was signed to developmental contract in 2011. She competed in WWE's FCW revival and NXT as Sofia Cortez. However she was abruptly released in mid-2012 for supposed "attitude problems"[[note]]later revealed to have been refusing head trainer [[Wrestling/HughMorrus Bill DeMott]]'s advances - this came to light after the [=DeMott=] bullying scandal broke in the spring of 2015[[/note]]. Still, enjoying the boost in fame from her time in WWE, she remained a regular fixture on the independents and trained with Franco Lozano for a possible debut in mixed martial arts before briefly returning to national scene by way of Wrestling/{{TNA}}'s Gut Check competition (being passed over in favour of Wrestling/LeiDTapa) and ''One Night Only'' shows. Ivelisse did not stop winning titles either, having the Pro Wrestling Revolution Women's title, SHINE title belt, Family Wrestling Entertainment Women's Championship belt and the Women's Title Chilean enterprise Wrestling Superstar to her name. Vélez's third stint on national TV started with her debut for Creator/RobertRodriguez's Wrestling/LuchaUnderground, which distinguished itself from immediate television competitors by regularly showcasing inter gender matches. She would highlight this by winning its trios title with two male partners. She'd also win the World Wrestling League Diosas Title back in Puerto Rico and SHINE's Tag Team Titles with Wrestling/MercedesMartinez.

** The Disciples Of Death already had an unfair advantage since Catrina interfered on their behalf but Vélez's broken ankle on top of that ensured they would be taking the Lucha Underground Trio belts. After recovering Vélez would help Havoc and Angelico win the belts back only to break her ankle ''again''. She recovered much quicker the second time, though.

** Indirectly to Allysin Kay and Taylor Made, mostly by being their AlwaysSomeoneBetter in Valkyrie. Despite Made In Sin's initial undefeated streak, Velez proved to be a better tag team partner to Kay than Made and a better tag team wrestler overall. Despite Kay's various complaints about a SHINE title shot she got a fair one against Velez on the China tour, she just lost, while Velez ending Made's reign caused her to RageQuit out of pro wrestling. The Valkyrie member directly fighting Velez in matches tends to be Su Yung, though, especially since their issues go back to Su's time as Premier Athlete Brand's secretary.
** When working with Son Of Havoc and Angelico in Lucha Underground, Mil Muertes, The Disciples Of Death and Muertes's valet turned collective group manager turned Lucha Underground proprietor Catrina.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Her effort to help Mia Yim with Valifornia resulted in [=SoCal=] Val hiring Andrea [[TheBrute as an enforcer]]. Vélez had been banned from SHINE when Andrea physically arrived so [=SoCal=] Val sicked Andrea on Solo Darling and Luscious Latasha instead.

** Since establishing a presence in Mexico, Taya Valkyrie and Sexy Star, being purely hostile with the latter. Taya is Ivelisse's [[WithFriendsLikeThese nominal stablemate]] but rarely shows her any respect and often neglects to stick up for her or come to Vélez's aid
** Indirectly to Allysin Kay and Taylor Made, mostly being the AlwaysSomeoneBetter of Valkyrie. Despite Made In Sin's initial undefeated streak, Velez proved to be a better tag team partner to Kay than Made and a better tag team wrestler overall, and despite Kay's various complaints about a SHINE title shot she got fair one against Velez on the China tour, she just lost, while Velez ending Made's reign caused her to RageQuit out of pro wrestling.

** Declared Wrestling/BlackRose her most annoying opponent, as Rose managed to pin Juliette in almost all their WWC, IWA and NWS matches, despite taking increasingly severe thrashings each time. Three straight losses to Rose are what took her out of contention for the IWA Women's title Amazona ended up being the first holder of. Then their fortunes reversed in the continental US, leading to Rosa being the one to lose composure during their Puerto Rico return match at WWL's ''Insurrection''. When they have to work together they do make a good team though, even prevailing over SHINE's first champion tag team, the Lucha Sisters (at an Wrestling/{{N|ationalWrestlingAlliance}}WA FUW show).

* IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: Debuted in ''Wrestling/LuchaUnderground'' by teaming with Son of Havoc - who was her fellow ''Tough Enough'' contestant Matt Cross.

* DesignatedGirlFight: Recruited by Wrestling/AcesAndEights when they entered TNA's World Cup and realized they had no answer for Team USA's Wrestling/MickieJames. Somewhat subverted as the rest of the gang still ran out to ensure Mickie lost, they just needed someone who could last long enough for them do so, so they tricked Mesias into giving them Ivelisse's number and taking her away from his team.

** She wrestled with a torn rotator cuff in her shoulder for over nine years. When not covered by a sleeve she found other ways to hide, such as tape the same color as her skin or matching her gear.
** She eventually gave up on trying to due pro wrestling and mixed martial arts at the same time, but only after she became dehydrated to the point she needed to be injected with water from four I.V's(which are usually reserved for people about to die).

* EtTuBrute: In the end, Vélez's only issue with Valkyrie was that they did not show her the same loyalty she felt she had showed them. The fact that Ivelisse announced that she was starting Las Sicarias with what was essentially the same mission statement Valkyrie originally had shows her moral compass has remained in the same direction, but betrayal was all she needed to keep at odds with them for years after the fact.

** The second time she broker her ankle she not only returned to the ring in a more timely fashion but, and seemingly had improved all around. Her doctor had other thoughts however and ended up barring [[CutShort cutting Velez's second run with the SHINE title belt short]] by denying her medical eligibility.

** Las Sicarias in SHINE started as trio with Amanda Rodriguez and La Rosa Negra but then Mercedes Martinez came out of retirement to join them with a debuting Wrestling/TheaTrinidad.

* PutOnABus: Lost Gut Check despite being the most fan supported after Adam Pearce (who also lost, to be fair) and winning her match against Wrestling/LeiDTapa. TheBusCameBack so she could lose to Tapa at the Queen of the Knockouts Tournament, and then again when Aces & Eights wanted to win the TNA World Cup. Despite doing what they asked of her they still failed to win in the end and she was sent on her way.

** As her SHINE career progressed, the Lucha Sisters, Valkyrie and Valifornia became her collective rogues. A good deal of SHINE 22 was basically them competing for the next shot at Ivelisse. Valkyrie "won" but the Lucha Sisters got the last laugh, as Yim came into SHINE 23 as champion after the WWN's China tour.

* VillainSong: {{Discussed|Trope}}. Wrestling/{{Taz|z}} was in the process of composing one for her but Aces and Eights lost the TNA world cup and didn't keep her around long enough to finish.

* ByTheHair: {{Subverted|Trope}}: In an AWE match where Vélez lost her grip due accidentally ripping Kiera Hogan's out. Hopefully that was an extension. Later played against Hogan's partner, Aria Blake.

* ICanStillFight: Put out of action for six months due to an ankle injury, a time she described as "hell" for someone who had been a top athlete since they were eight. During this time she tried to get back into the ring on crutches, resulting in the loss of the Lucha Underground Trios titles. When she was off the crutches she rushed back to SHINE to challenge then reigning champion Santana Garrett, who successfully defended her belt by referee stoppage when Velez refused to submit to a scorpion death lock. Ivelisse tried to attack the ref for it but was in too much pain to hurt him.

* ByTheHair: {{Subverted|Trope}}: In an AWE match where Vélez lost her grip due accidentally ripping Kiera Hogan's out. Hopefully that was an extension...

** You'd be forgiven for thinking Ivelisse would be a more dominant champion in her second reign, based on how it started, but ''SHINE 36'' dispelled that notion when it became clear all the clawing Velez had done to get into the main event had hardly made her any better at beating [=LuFisto=] than she was at ''SHINE 7''. This also cemented [=LuFisto=]'s place at the top of the card.

* TheWorfEffect: Ivelisse the took the worst April Hunter and Serena Deeb could give up to the OT Knee "go to sleep" gut buster(always avoided the spear though), her SHINE 20 encounter lasting an hour because the referee failed to notice most of Hunter's interference or Deeb tapping out. Nevaeh was an irritant in the tag team division whose least tainted victories were over Leva Bates after she intentionally agreed to Nevaeh's terms and against Justine Silver, [[{{jobber}} who hadn't beaten anyone]]. Thus this trope came into play at Ivelisse and Nevaeh's SHINE 21 title match. Neveah did not actually defeat Vélez but did wipe up the mat with her, only failing to win the title because this time an out of place referee failed to notice Vélez had been knocked out, a referee himself knocked out by Nevaeh ''[[HoistByHisOwnPetard using]]'' [[GrievousHarmWithABody Vélez]]. That cemented Nevaeh as a mainstay of SHINE main events.

* PowerTrio
** Herself, Angelico and Son Of Havoc. They were forced to team up on account of none of them being particularly successful individually but they became Lucha Underground's first Trios Title Belt holders!
** Las Sicarias in SHINE with Amanda Rodriguez and La Rosa Negra.

* FieryRedhead: Her second SHINE title run is instantly distinguishable from the previous by her hair being died red, and while Vélez is always close to losing her temper, she was conflicted before she won the belt the first time but on a warpath the second.

** The Disciples Of Death already had an unfair advantage since Catrina interfered on their behalf but Vélez's broken ankle on top of that ensured they would be taking the Lucha Underground Trio belts. After recovering Velez would help Havoc and Angelico win the belts back only to break her ankle ''again''. She recovered much quicker the second time, though.

'''Ivelisse Milagro Vélez''' is a professional wrestler in North America, originating from San Juan, Puerto Rico. She trained under, Quique Cruz, Carlos Colon and Savio Vega in Puerto Rico, before working her way up the Chicago indies under the name Juliette The Huntress. Juliette would then wrestle for Colon's World Wrestling Council and Vega's International Wrestling Association in Puerto Rico, up until she joined New Wrestling Star and aided its wrestlers, along with those from New Empire, in an invasion of WWC. Later she won the Pro Championship Wrestling Women's title and Vanguard Wrestling All-Star Alliance Women's title in the continental United States.

** In {{real life|WritesThePlot}} she had Wrestling/BillDeMott making advances towards her from a position of power at the NXT Performance Center. She turned him down, was released back to the indies, and has been all the better for it.

** The Disciples Of Death already had an unfair advantage since Catrina interfered on their behalf but Vélez's broken ankle on top of that ensured they would be taking the Lucha Underground Trio belts.
