The Unstoppable Force that was Linda Miles

Linda Miles, better known to wrestling fans as Hot Mocha, left an indelible mark on the sport she loved. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1979, Linda's path to stardom was not without its twists and turns.

At 6 feet tall and weighing in at a sturdy 166 pounds, Linda was always going to be a presence in the ring. Her technician wrestling style allowed her to outmaneuver opponents with ease, and her impressive powerbomb and diving crossbody moves left fans gasping in awe.

After making her debut in 2002, Linda quickly gained a reputation as a force to be reckoned with. She worked for promotions such as World Wrestling Entertainment, Ohio Valley Wrestling, Memphis Wrestling, and Toryumon Mexico, taking on all comers and proving herself to be a true competitor.

As Shaniqua, she brought a level of sass and attitude to the ring that was unmatched. Her feisty persona drew fans in and made her a fan favorite wherever she went.

Linda's last match took place in 2005, but her legacy lives on. She may have hung up her boots, but the memories of her incredible matches will continue to inspire and thrill wrestling enthusiasts for years to come.
