Biography

Born Geneviève Goulet on February 15, 1980, LuFisto’s love for professional wrestling really blossoms in 1994 during the feud between The Undertaker and Yokozuna. Discovering at the same time the likes of Alundra Blayze, Bull Nakano, Luna Vachon and Akira Hokuto, that’s when the Sorel-Tracy native decides to become a professional wrestler herself and subscribes to a local school.

After only a few months of training, Goulet debuts under the moniker “Lucifer” on June 19, 1997. It won’t be long until she ends up being the only female active in her Province of Quebec. Already showcasing the Joshi style of wrestling and wanting to be a serious wrestler, she fights tooth and nails to step into the squared circle against male opponents at a time where it is seen as taboo and even, prohibited.

LuFisto’s first trip to Mexico happens in 2002 where she captures the Lucha Libre Feminil Extremo Campeonato after a series of epic battles against Princesa Sugehit. She will go back to Mexico several times throughout the years, being part of what is still known as the best intergender hardcore match on Mexican soil against Joe Lider in 2005. She will win the Lucha Pop Femmes Championship in 2012 and will make it to the finals of Lucha Libre AAA La Reina de Reinas in 2013 where she will be defeated by Faby Apache in front of a crowd of 17000+ in Monterrey.

Chosen by AtoZ (formally known as ARSION) to tour Japan for two months in 2003, she perfects her Japanese style at their dojo under the guidance of Mariko Yoshida, Ai Fujita and Akino. AtoZ asks her to change her name of “Precious Lucy” so that’s when she becomes “LuFisto”. She will go back to the land of the rising sun in 2005 for another two-week tour fighting legends such as Amazing Kong and Aja Kong.

Still today, LuFisto is the only woman to ever hold a Combat Zone Wrestling gold (CZW Iron-Man) by defeating “Mr. Wrestling” Kevin Steen (WWE Kevin Owens).  She is the first female to participate to CZW’s Best of the Best Tournament in 2008, chosen as the” Best of the Best People's Choice” and the only woman who entered the CZW Cage of Death (Vs John Zandig, Nick Gage and Lobo).

On May 10, 2006, she wins her case. Not only must the OAC reverse its ruling, but it completely deregulates professional wrestling altogether. The women are now free to wrestle who they choose and there are no more bureaucracy and outrageous fees for the promotions.

Since January 2024, LuFisto has stepped into two new roles: Chief Executive Officer and Chief Content Officer of the Montreal promotion Women’s Wrestling Syndicate. As a team leader, LuFisto oversees the company's business decisions, including those in operations, marketing, business development, finance, and human resources. As Chief Content Officer, she’s in charge of the Company’s creative writing, talent relations and its development, live events, and creative services departments.

As of today, LuFisto is a seven-time Hall of Fame inductee including the Quebec Wrestling Hall of Fame, Combat Zone Wrestling and the Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame where, on January 22, 2022, she was the first woman to be inducted with Jerry Lynn, Homicide, Ruckus, Tracy Smothers and Dave Prazak as part of its first class.

Here's LuFisto acceptance speech:

Mixing scientific skills with bone shattering violence, LuFisto has always demonstrated a willingness to put her body on the line, proving that she is one of the toughest professional wrestlers that ever stepped in the squared circle, giving her with the nickname “The First Lady of Hardcore”.

Standing up to everyone who told her she couldn’t, she became the Innovator of Intergender, breaking barriers and fighting the injustices and even the law to change the world of professional wrestling for women. Still today, LuFisto is often at the forefront of many battles when it comes to the treatment of women in the industry despite the backlash she might get for telling it like it is.
