00:00She was born in Winnipeg, Canada, under the name Holly Letkerman, but wrestling fans know
00:05her as Rosemary, or Courtney Rush, and by a few other names. Here's how she got to the
00:10top of TNA and beyond.
00:13After training in Scott DeMoore's wrestling school in Windsor, Ontario, Letkerman made
00:17her debut for primetime wrestling in January 2008 under the name Casey Maguire. She worked
00:22the Canadian circuit for several years, changing her name to PG Tyler in early 2010. Still
00:27as Tyler, she debuted in the Shimmer promotion March 2010 as part of the Sparkle division.
00:33By the following year, she was in the promotion's main division wrestling under the name Courtney
00:36Rush, which she still uses today for her face-paint-free wrestling persona. Rush won her only Shimmer
00:42championship, the tag team titles, in 2012 alongside villain Sarah Del Rey. They lost
00:47the gold when Del Rey turned on Rush and abandoned her in the ring.
00:51Over time, Rush started to cut darker promos. Before facing Cherry Bomb at a Smash Wrestling
00:56Show in 2015, Rush delivered one that appeared to be filmed with an old-school camcorder,
01:01a la Paranormal Activity, singing a song that was a clear nod to the Nightmare on Elm Street
01:06film series.
01:07One, two, Courtney's coming for you.
01:13The video ended with her jumping at the camera. Rush's turn toward the macabre was a sign
01:18of creepy things to come.
01:21Rosemary Quinn debuted in TNA on January 26, 2016, appearing on stage dressed as a
01:26creepy cheerleader while Crazy Steve and Abyss attacked world tag team champions The Wolves.
01:32Her new ring name was revealed to be Rosemary, and the Decay Stable was born. Rosemary had
01:37her first TNA match that April, defeating Knockouts legend Gail Kim. That September,
01:42she started a lengthy feud with Reby Hardy. The first match between the pair ended in
01:46disqualification after Rosemary used Poison Mist, spitting it into Hardy's eyes.
01:51Steve and Abyss went on to win the TNA World Tag Team titles. Broken Matt Hardy and his
01:56brother Jeff Hardy won a No. 1 contenders match for their championships. With that,
02:01Decay began a heated feud with the Broken Universe. Decay attempted to take Matt's son,
02:06Maxl, from the family. Rosemary would even break into the home in an attempt to kidnap
02:11then-baby Maxl, enraging Rebecca. The feud led to the Wild, Delete, or Decay match at
02:16the Hardy Compound.
02:18"...home, sweet home."
02:23Decay would finally lose their titles to the Hardys at Bound for Glory in October. But
02:27gold came back to the group soon when Rosemary won the Knockouts title, defeating Jade in
02:32a six-sided steel cage match on December 1. She held the title for 266 days, the second
02:38longest reign in Knockouts championship history. Rosemary lost the title at Slammiversary 2017
02:44in a match against Sienna that unified the Knockouts title and the GFW Women's Championship.
02:50In September 2017, Rosemary started a feud with a debuting Taya Valkyrie, eventually
02:55defeating her in a Demon's Dance match the following April. After a failed attempt to
03:00win another chance at the Knockouts championship, Rosemary tore a ligament at an independent
03:04show and was on the shelf for eight months. She returned in January 2019 to save Kiera
03:09Hogan at Homecoming.
03:12Rosemary signed a new two-year contract with TNA that February, moving into a feud with
03:16Ally and Sue Young. She defeated Young in a Demon Caller match after a supernatural
03:21feud that saw Rosemary attempt to save Ally's soul. Rosemary competed for the Knockouts title
03:26once again in a Monsters Ball Fatal 4-Way against Havoc, Valkyrie, and Young, but Valkyrie
03:31retained her title.
03:33Rosemary reunited with Crazy Steve in January 2021, teaming at that year's Hard to Kill
03:38to defeat Tennille Dashwood and Caleb. This new version of Decay would add Black Taurus
03:43and Havoc to the group. Rosemary and Havoc won the Knockouts Tag Team Championship and
03:47held them for 98 days. Rosemary began teaming with Valkyrie in early 2022, once again winning
03:53Tag Team Gold. Rosemary, Havoc, and Valkyrie formed a new group, the Death Dolls, and they
03:58would win the tag titles once again, defending them as a trio under the Freebird rule. Rosemary
04:04and Havoc won the titles once again at the start of 2024.
04:08Rosemary hasn't just kept her talents in TNA since 2016. In August 2017, she was a key
04:14part of an infamous 4-Way match for the Triple-A Reina de Reinas Championship. Sexy Star submitted
04:20Rosemary with an arm bar for the win, but didn't let go and popped Rosemary's arm out
04:25of place. The incident essentially ended Sexy Star's wrestling career and led to an
04:29outpouring of support for Rosemary.
04:31Letcomin also runs a Twitch channel where she streams video games. Though she hasn't
04:35streamed anything for a while as of the making of this video, she maintains 6,000 followers
04:39on the platform. She and former TNA and AEW star Allie also started a YouTube series in
04:452018, titled Masters of the Multiverse. Videos include Allie taking Rosemary to Disney World
04:51and a cat cafe, as well as a Q&A video and live streams.
04:55You are honestly just as annoying as the other demons."
05:00Letcomin has also appeared in several independent films, including Monster Brawl, where she
05:04played a witch, Exit Humanity as a zombie, and Beatdown as a character called French
05:09Kiss.
05:10TNA and WWE's NXT brand started a partnership in the summer of 2024 that involved talent
05:16from both companies appearing on the others' shows. One of those was Rosemary, who made
05:20a surprise appearance on the August 27 episode of NXT to help fellow spooky character Wendy
05:25Chu by challenging then-NXT Women's North American Champion Kalani Jordan.
05:31Rosemary not only lost that match, but took another L the following week against Tatum
05:35Paxley. Rosemary and Chu got some revenge on Paxley after the match, but then took a
05:39beatdown from Lyra Valkyria. Chu and Rosemary did notch one tag team win against Brinley
05:45Reese and Carmen Petrovich, though.
05:47By October, Chu was the one coming to Rosemary's side of the fence, TNA. The demented pair
05:52challenged for the Knockouts Tag Team Championship against Jodie Threat and Dani Luna at Bound
05:57for Glory, but lost, resulting in Rosemary turning on Chu.
06:01The pair settled their differences at a no-disqualification match on the November 7th Impact, where Rosemary
06:06emerged victorious over Chu, beating her with a cane and sending her back to NXT.
06:11Since defeating Chu, Rosemary has notched wins in TNA over Jada Stone, Ziya Brookside, and
06:17Savannah Evans. With the wins racking up, it's only a matter of time before the demented
06:21one sets her sights on the Knockout Championship once again.
