Monica and Karim, the first couple of Italian wrestlers in the United States. Miss Monica, stage name of Monica Passeri, moved from Caprara, a small town in Abruzzo, to Missouri together with partner Karim Bartoli, who fights under the name of Karim Brigante. Once they left Italy, they attended the most important wrestling academy in Troy, Missouri - the Harley Race Wrestling Academy - which allowed them to build an international career: from World League Wrestling they managed to reach the flagship show of WWE and National Wrestling Alliance, the memorable federation owned by the rockstar Billy Corgan. Partners in life and in the ring, they travel alone to defend their titles in American indie circuits.
