Melissa Coates Wiki – Melissa Coates Biography

Melissa Coates was a Canadian fighter, bodybuilder, fitness model, and actress. She was best known for appearing on the first two seasons of the Game Show Network show Extreme Dodgeball. In professional wrestling, she was known for her appearances in the developmental territories of World Wrestling Entertainment, Ohio Valley Wrestling and Deep South Wrestling, NWA Anarchy, and Women Superstars Uncensored. On the independent circuit, she was Sabu’s valet, under the ring name Super Genie.

Before entering professional wrestling, Coates aspired to become a professional tennis player after seeing Martina Navratilova. In order to train effectively for tennis, Coates began lifting weights at age 15, and during that same year, she participated in her first tennis competition in 1984, where she lasted until the final. She re-entered the following year and won the Mid-Canada Junior Girls Championship. However, she soon began to shift her attention from tennis to bodybuilding and she participated in her first contest in the early 1990s, where she won the overall lightweight category of the Windsor Physique Contest.

After she began to gain prominence, Coates decided to move to Los Angeles and worked for two gyms and two bars to finance herself. After obtaining professional status in 1995, she won the Jan Tana Classic in 1996. In 1999, she said goodbye to bodybuilding and subsequently began working as a model.

She also competed in the first two seasons of Extreme Dodgeball on the Game Show Network. Her team, the Barbell Mafia, made the playoffs in the first season but failed to qualify the following year.
