Terra Calaway

Samantha Cohen (born June 26, 1990) is an American professional wrestler better known by her ring name Terra Calaway. She has also served as a manager/valet and referee early in her career.

Early career (2009 - 2015)

Cohen was trained at Vegas Championship Wrestling by Legacy, Tony Leo, and Funny Bone. She appeared as a manager and referee for both VCW and Future Stars of Wrestling, also located in Las Vegas. She managed frequently outside of Las Vegas, in Arizona and Utah before beginning to step into the ring as a competitor. In 2011, Cohen began wrestling in Southern California regularly for Vendetta Pro Wrestling and LuchaPro where she eventually moved to Los Angeles in late 2011. She began branching out further to compete all over the states of California, Nevada, and Arizona. She made her East Coast debut for Women Superstars Uncensored in 2012 in a losing effort against Allysin Kay of the Midwest Militia.

In 2013, she returned to the East Coast for three shows; ECWF, BWO, and Wrestling Is Respect. In the opening few minutes of her match for Wrestling Is Respect against Veda Scott, Cohen jumped off of the ring apron to chase Scott when her foot became tangled in the ring apron. This caused her to completely tear apart her ACL, MCL, and meniscus. She was out of action until the end of 2013 when she returned to singles action against TNA Knockout and former WWE Diva, Awesome Kong.

East Coast (2015 - current)

In early 2015, Cohen moved from Los Angeles to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. In October 2015, Cohen won her first championship on the East Coast when she became the first Pro Wrestling Magic Women's Champion after defeating Deonna Purrazzo. The following week, she was a quarterfinalist in the 2nd Annual ECWA Women's Super 8 Chickfight Tournament, losing to Brittany Blake in the first round. She now competes all over the northeast and continues to expand on her career. In 2017, Cohen began running wrestling events under her organization Dropkick Depression and has been a steady roster member from it's creation.

In 2020, following her marriage, she took a hiatus from the ring until Halloween, where she returned as a surprise entrant in a gauntlet match for the ISW Championship.

Currently in 2022, she resides in New Jersey with her husband, Jeff Cannonball, and is currently the Inter Species Undisputed King of Crazy Champion and a regular roster member of Hardcore Hustle Organization and Dropkick Depression.
