BACKGROUND:
Sidney Duffy was born in Sacramento, California, the youngest of two girls—and the two girls became inseparable almost immediately. Her sister, Carrie, decided at the age of 8 that she was going to become a professional wrestler. Sidney wanted to become a lawyer, but she was a fan herself, spending every Monday night watching wrestling with her sister and her father.
Perhaps surprisingly, Carrie’s decision met with little parental resistance. Indeed, they backed her all the way, both financially in terms of paying for her training—which she began at age 17--and emotionally as well. Carrie proved an apt pupil, and the combination of her enthusiastic personality and youthful looks earned her the nickname “Kid” Carrie Duffy. After 18 months of learning the trade, Carrie finally earned her first match work at a local show, and the night before the event, she and Sidney went out to celebrate…
… which is when tragedy struck.
On their way home, a drunk driver T-boned the driver’s side of Carrie’s car, going 85MPH in a 35 zone. Carrie was pronounced dead at the scene. Sidney suffered significant injuries herself, but she survived. After leaving the hospital—and undergoing a couple of rounds of physical therapy—Sidney put aside her dreams of law, electing instead to become the wrestler her sister had been denied the chance to be. As part of her tribute to Carrie’s memory, she took on “the Kid” nickname, and began wrestling training once she had graduated high school. After roughly a year of training and two years traveling the southwest and northwest, working various small companies and high school gyms, an offer of a full time contract with a fledgling promotion based in her hometown of Sacramento.
It was an offer too good to be true.
Sid the Kid’s roots got her over at first, but she soon became a crowd favorite via her grit and determination. In 6 years with the company, she has three times earned its top title, the West Coast championship. And her exploits soon caught the attention of scouts from bigger promotions, which brought an offer for a tryout with FAWN. In impressive showing there (in a match where she was cheated out of a victory) earned Duffy the consolation prize of a developmental deal.
