Jennifer Chung (born November 6, 1984) is a Canadian professional wrestler, professional wrestling manager, ring announcer, and model. She worked for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), as a ring announcer under the ring name Jade Chung.
Chung has appeared with professional wrestling promotions such as Border City Wrestling, IWA Mid-South, Ring of Honor and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla. Wrestlers she has managed include Frankie Kazarian, Jimmy Rave, N8 Mattson, Conrad Kennedy III, A-1, Scorpio Sky, Mr. Hughes and Shane Douglas.
Chung made her debut for wrestler/promoter Scott D'Amore's Border City Wrestling where, in September 2003, she managed Shane Douglas to win the BCW Can-Am Heavyweight Championship from D-Lo Brown. She would spend the next two years in various independent promotions in Canada and the United States. At A Night of Appreciation for Sabu, she was in the corner of Alastair Ralphs when he defeated D-Lo Brown to win the BCW Can-Am Heavyweight Championship in Belleville, Michigan on December 12, 2004.
After Rave lost to Roderick Strong on October 1, 2005, Chung left The Embassy to become the manager of Generation Next in their feud with The Embassy. The following night, she interfered in a match between Rave and Matt Sydal, costing Rave the match. She continued to feud with rival manager Prince Nana and, during a match on October 29, she attacked him with a tilt-a-whirl DDT. On November 5, ROH announced that Chung had been attacked by an unidentified man in the parking lot. A still photo of Jimmy Rave was shown on November 19 attacking Chung, and ROH claimed that she was no longer involved in wrestling. The feud was finally concluded at "Steel Cage Warfare" in December 2005 when she made a surprise appearance during the main event, an 8-man Steel Cage Warfare match between The Embassy and Generation Next. Chung, who appeared with bandages as a result of her attack by Rave, distracted The Embassy long enough for Jack Evans to enter the match and perform a double moonsault off the top of the cage. After Generation Next defeated The Embassy, Chung used Rave as her footstool during the in-ring celebration after the match. Chung subsequently departed ROH.
In October 2006, Chung participated in a "First Blood Handicap" match with Scorpio Sky, teaming as the "Scorpio Sky Experience", to defeat Frankie Kazarian. A month later, her stable (Scorpio Sky, Chris Bosh, Scott Lost, and Joey Ryan) lost an eight-man tag team match to Candice LeRae's team (Frankie Kazarian, Human Tornado, El Generico, and Quicksilver). She eventually turned on Scorpio Sky after he lost a "Loser Leaves PWG" match to Frankie Kazarian on January 27, 2007.
At the Battle of Los Angeles in August and September 2007, Chung accompanied Joey Ryan and Scott Lost to ringside for their matches in the titular tournament. In January 2008, Chung appeared with Lost and Ryan as they faced The Age of the Fall (Seth Rollins and Jimmy Jacobs) at PWG All Star Weekend 6, Night 1 in Van Nuys, California. On March 21, 2008, Chung was injured by Super Dragon during a tag team match between The Dynasty and Kevin Steen and El Generico. She was forced to take a leave of absence and, as a result, Scott Lost and Joey Ryan lost several opportunities to win the PWG Tag Team Championship in matches against El Blazer and Kagetora and Los Luchas (Phoenix Star and Zokre).
In November 2007 at the NWA supercard Bloodlust! 3, she and Kitana Vera defeated Candice LeRae and Carla Jade in a tag team match in Covina, California.
In November 2019 in Alpha-1 Wrestling, Chung substituted for her husband Josh Alexander, teaming with Ethan Page to defend their A1 Tag Team Championship in a three way match that was won by Fight or Flight (Gabriel Fuerza and Vaughn Vertigo).
