Wesna Busic (born June 26, 1983) is a Croatian German professional wrestler. She mostly wrestled in Germany, but also over all of Europe as well as in Japan and United States.
Despite being a female, Wesna often wrestles men and has won championships from male wrestlers, including holding the Athletik Club Wrestling's (ACW) Tag Team Championship with Crazy Sexy Mike. She won the eighth ChickFight tournament in England, which started her long feud with American wrestler Cheerleader Melissa, along with other exclusively female championships such as the National Wrestling Alliance's German version of the Women's Championship and German Stampede Wrestling's World Women's Championship.
Though this was a loss for her, Wesna went on an eight-year undefeated streak in singles matches in GSW. In July, 2003 GSW held a Ladies Tournament at Summer Breeze culminating in the penultimate event of the two-part event. Wesna met Blue Nikita for the first time in singles action in GSW and defeated her to win the tournament. Following this Wesna met American wrestler Cheerleader Melissa and continued her winning streak, which acted as a precursour to an intercontinental feud between the two in the latter half of the decade. Wesna cemented her international dominance by defeating noted American brawler Mickie Knuckles at Night in Motion IV: Whatever It Takes in February 2006 and two months later, with Nora Greenwald as the special guest referee, pinned English wrestler Katarina Waters at International Impact III. With the female division growing, GSW decided to create a Ladies Championship in 2007 and the undefeated Wesna was booked in a match with April Hunter at International Impact IV in March 2007 and became the inaugural champion.
As champion, she defended her belt against English talent Jetta and American wrestler Allison Danger. This led to a meeting with longstanding rival Blue Nikita and at Night in Motion XI: Pure Passion, in a No Disqualification match, Wesna staved off the threat from the challenger. Nikita earned a rematch while Wesna was ill and it took place at Night in Motion XII: Sold Out ended in a draw as a result of double knockout. Despite this draw, Blue Nikita was overlooked as Breakthrough Champion Steve Douglas had set on a mission to become the GSW Triple Crown Champion and unite all the belts. In a Winner Takes All Championship match, Wesna was defeated in the main event of Night in Motion XIII: Lucky 13 and lost her belt. Her attempt to regain it was in a Four Way match, also including Kia Stevens, which was thwarted by her nemesis Blue Nikita who walked away with the title. In February 2009 Wesna managed to best Blue Nikita, but only by count out (for which titles do not change hands) and Wesna could not recreate a victory in their Spartan Death Match two months later, acquiescing to her first defeat in GSW singles competition after eight chair shots.
On June 4, 2016, at GWF Mystery Mayhem 4, Wesna managed to win the GWF Ladies Title in a three-way match against Blue Nikita and Carmel Jacob.
Wesna's feud with Blue Nikita spilled over into ACW during an interpromotional event with the European Wrestling Council (EWC) in 2003. Wesna once again secured victory over her Greek enemy In November she teamed up with the EWC Commissioner in a mixed tag match, defeating her nemesis again who teamed with Matthias Treu. The two met again at Wild Christmas 2007 for Wesna's Real Quality Wrestling (RQW) Women's Championship where once again she was successful leading to Wesna's final ACW match at Riptide II in February 2008 with another successful RQW title match against Jetta.
ChickFight XI was originally slated to be a two out of three falls match to find a decisive victory until Melissa pulled out due to injury. After Melissa's injury, Wesna was rebooked in a tag team match alongside former rival Jetta where the two beat Manchester twins Team Blossom. Later in the evening Wesna brought her longstanding rivalry with Blue Nikita to England with a ChickFight Rules match where the two brawled around the venue for twenty minutes with Nikita eventually picking up the victory. The day before she appeared in a ChickFight attraction match in Rotherham, South Yorkshire for Shooting Star Wrestling also defeating Blue Nikita.
At Volume 23, in May 2009, Shimmer Women Athletes brought Wesna's feud with Melissa from Germany and England to the United States. The company preluded the match with a video package showing their matches in ChickFight and announced that the winner would go on to face the Shimmer Champion at a later event. Similar to their 45-minute draw, the two traded forearm shots and ended on their knees trading slaps but unlike that match there would be a winner this time. Towards the end of the bout, Annie Social came to the ring to distract Melissa allowing Wesna to use her CB4 Driver to pick up the victory, turning Wesna into a villainous character. She warmed up for the championship match by picking up a return victory over LuFisto with the help of more interference from Social. Wesna lost her championship match at Volume 25 despite still having Social in her corner and, owing to the controversy of their previous match, Melissa challenged Wesna again in Volume 26 in a Knockout/Submission match where Melissa picked up the victory, making them level once more. On November 8 at the tapings of Volume 27 Wesna debuted in the tag team division along with Melanie Cruise winning against the former SHIMMER Tag Team Champions Madison Rayne and Nevaeh. As part of Volume 28 however she lost to Nicole Raczynski.
In 2007, Wesna competed as a gaijin in various matches with Zero-1 Max and their sister promotion Pro Wrestling Sun. On January 14 wrestling for the latter promotion, she lost her EWA Women's Championship after another match with Hikaru. She then found herself tag teaming with fellow foreigners Amazing Kong and Trenesha Biggers for Zero-1, picking up successive victories in January over Nanae Takahashi and Saki Maemura who teamed with both Hikaru and Natsuki Taiyo in respective bouts. In the second contest it was Wesna who scored the pinfall over Taiyo. She also had a tag match against Takahashi and Maemura alongside Toshie Uematsu which ended in a time limit draw and a rematch was held at May's Everlasting where Wesna secured victory by pinning Takahashi. With this victory she placed herself in contention for the vacant AWA Superstars of Wrestling World Women's Championship in a three way match including previous holder Takahashi and the contending Kong but Takahashi re-won the belt.
In June 2004, Wesna was invited to be part of an eight-woman tournament to crown the first European Championess in Wrestling School Austria (WSA). Though she dispatched Jersey in four minutes and Vampiria in the second round, she came up short against Biker Bea in the final. She earned a rematch for the belt in a Five Way Elimination match, dismissing KKK and Blue Nikita from the match. It took her only four minutes to claim the European Championship from Biker Bea and she would hold the belt for over four years. As well as being champion for the company, she brought her feud with Blue Nikita there in November, losing to her in a singles match but picking up a tag team victory over her.
In June 2007 she made her first appearance for London based promotion Real Quality Wrestling. In nearby Essex she wrestled a Four-Way Elimination match for the RQW Women's Championship against holder Eden Black, Jetta and Amazing Kong, managing to best them all to win the belt. She returned to defend the belt at RQW's annual No Pain, No Gain event in January 2008 against Jetta with Sweet Saraya as the referee. It came to an abrupt end when Jetta walked out, resulting in a count out, due to a legitimate injury that caused her to collapse afterwards, leading to their aforementioned match in ACW's Riptide II where Wesna won again. In July of that year, in Vienna, she put up the RQW Championship, along with her WSA Women's European Championship against the World Association of Women's Wrestling (WAWW) British Champion Sweet Saraya in a triple crown match. Despite the torrential rain, the two insisted on wrestling with Saraya eventually winning all three championships. Following the match, an infuriated Wesna attacked the referee with a Samoan drop and consequently had her wrestling license suspended for three months.
On April 11, 2010, Busic announced her retirement from professional wrestling due to an injury.
Since September 2016 she is promoting female-only events at GWF under the moniker "Revolution" (formerly "Women's Wrestling Revolution"). In September 2017 GWF abandoned the GSW Ladies Title and introduced the GWF Women's Title in a tournament. Wesna lost in the semi-finals against Katey Harvey who also beat Jazzy Gabert in the finals to become the first-ever GWF Women's Champion. In May 2018 Wesna challenged Toni Storm for the PROGRESS Women's Title at "Revolution 8", Germany's first-ever all female wrestling evening event. Also this was the first time that the PROGRESS Women's Title was defended in Germany.
