Alice Crowley Reveals She Started Wrestling Training at Just 14 Years of Age

Alice Crowley didn’t just grow up watching wrestling—she grew into it fast, and by her early teens she was already laying the groundwork for a career inside the ring.

During her appearance on Off the Rails with Jasmin St. Clair, Crowley opened up about how wrestling became part of her life long before she ever stepped between the ropes. She explained that the sport was always on television in her household, but her true turning point came when her family began attending live shows in Indianapolis.

Crowley recalled how her cousin first introduced the idea of going to a show, which eventually convinced her father to take the family along. That experience changed everything for her, even though it took some time before she fully committed. After attending shows regularly for months, Crowley said she began to feel something deeper than just entertainment—she wanted to recreate the emotions she felt as a fan.

“Um well I've been around it my whole life you know what I mean like it's always been on the TV. Um when I when I was 13, 12 or 13, my cousin uh had a friend that he went to high school with, that wrestled at this place in downtown Indianapolis… It took him three months of convincing me to go about, yeah, probably something like that.”

Once she finally attended, the experience hooked her immediately. Instead of just watching from the crowd, she started picturing herself in the ring. That passion quickly turned into action after she spent months attending events and learning what the business looked like up close. Crowley explained that after about half a year of watching shows, she made the decision that would shape her future—and she did it at an age when most kids are still figuring out hobbies.

“And then I finally ended up going, but then I fell in love with it. And I went for probably about six months before I decided that I wanted to do it… I think I just wanted to do it because, you know, I like the emotion behind it and the way that they made me feel… and so I started training at 14.”

Starting at just 14 years old gave Crowley a serious head start in the business, and it helps explain why she carries herself with the confidence of someone far beyond her years. Training that early allowed her to build experience while many of her peers were still figuring out what direction they wanted to take in life.
