World Wrestling Federation
In January 1999 Alicia debuted on RAW as Ryan Shamrock, the on-screen sister of Ken Shamrock. On the January 11, 1999 episode of RAW, Val Venis flirted with her at ringside before his match. Ken Shamrock ran out and attacked Venis, yelling at him not to talk to his sister. After giving Venis a beating, Billy Gunn appeared at the ring and mooned Ryan. Ken then went after Gunn, challenging him to a Intercontinental title match at the Royal Rumble. This reportedly led to Alicia having a continuing job with the WWF. In February 1999, Ryan Shamrock was officially introduced to us by Val Venis (kayfabe); although she had been seen in the audience and with Val before, she had not entered the ring with him until that night. Ryan was supposed to do an interview, but Val started the interview with Kevin Kelly. Ryan was never interviewed because Venis was attacked by Ken Shamrock. Venis escaped the attack, grabbed Ryan, and made a get-away while Ken was otherwise occupied. On the April 5, 1999 edition of RAW, The Undertaker and his disciples decided to sacrifice Ryan Shamrock. The next week, Ryan was found by Mick Foley in the boiler room. That night, her on-screen brother Ken Shamrock left the WWF. She also left the WWF Having disappeared from the WWF for over a month, Ryan returned on an edition of WWF HEAT, distracting Droz during a tag team match, causing a loss against The Brood. Ryan then joined the Pretty Mean Sisters (PMS) stable with Terri Runnels and Jacqueline. After being with PMS for three months, Webb left the WWF. Webb was released from the WWF in July of 1999. According to Internet reports, Webb had lost interest in professional wrestling and couldn't keep up with the demanding travel schedule. Her first match was against the Blue Meanie in 1999. She won with a rollup.
World Championship Wrestling
Four months later during November 1999, Internet rumors surfaced stating that Webb had signed a one year deal with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) worth $60,000. They turned out to be true as Webb debuted in WCW on their Nitro show as Symphony, the valet of The Maestro. After managing the Maestro for 5 months, the Maestro was released from WCW. Webb began to be used on several Vampiro vignettes for several weeks, where she appeared as a screaming girl running through the graveyard. In August 2000, Webb was released from WCW.
Independent career
She wrestled on the independent circuit against wrestlers such as Nicole Bass, Kara Slice, and Taylor Matheny as well as managing Ken Shamrock until being hired as a TNA Knockout by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). She worked for TNA briefly as Aleesha, scouting wrestlers on the stage ramps but nothing ever came of it. She and Ken left after a couple of shows. As of May 5th, 2007, she has been working with the Mexican promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) managing the foreign legion. She has suffered a broken foot, herniated discs and a cracked rib from wrestling. Alicia has also been one of the few wrestling divas to turn down an offer to pose in Playboy.
