Edith Surreal is the ring name of a retired American professional wrestler formerly known as Still Life with Apricots and Pears until 2021.[3][4] She is perhaps best known for her tenure in Chikara. She worked for various independent professional wrestling promotions such as Game Changer Wrestling, Beyond Wrestling, and Camp Leapfrog.[5]
Professional wrestling career
[edit]Surreal began training for professional wrestling in 2017 with Chikara in her hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There, she was trained by Drew Gulak, Ophidian, Hallowicked, Orange Cassidy, Chuck Taylor, and Cheeseburger.[6] She made her professional wrestling debut as Still Life with Apricots and Pears at Hour Of Power 13 on February 24, 2018, where she teamed up with Ursa Minor In The Night Sky as The Nouveau Aesthetic to defeat Nytenhawk and Razerhawk.[7] Surreal was the fifteenth holder of the Chikara Young Lions Cup after defeating Boomer Hatfield at the Young Lions Cup XV - 2nd Stage event on March 16, 2019.[8] She worked her last match for Chikara at the National Pro Wrestling Day show on February 8, 2020, in a losing effort to Ophidian before the promotion's dissolution later that year.[9]
After changing her name to Edith Surreal, she began working with promotions including Beyond Wrestling,[10] Game Changer Wrestling,[11] Enjoy Wrestling, and Camp Leapfrog.[12] Pro Wrestling Illustrated ranked Surreal no. 192 in the top 500 singles wrestlers of 2021.[13]
On June 5, 2024, Surreal announced that due to injury, she was putting her "in-ring wrestling career on indefinite hiatus."[14]
Personal life
[edit]Surreal came out as transgender in 2020 and has stated that she has faced exclusion due to this.[15] She previously identified as non-binary,[16] and uses she/her pronouns.[17]
