			After another stint in rehab, Walsh returned to NFW as Lana Dremire in the fall of 2008, signing a one year contract reportedly worth $92,000. She credits Castor Strife as bridging the gap between her and NFW management.

			On Marchy 15th, 2009, Dremire appeared on NFW TV for the first time in four years, escorting Strife and his Bold New Disaster stablemates, Problem Child and Jimmy Mylde, to the ring at Crash 47 in Chicago, Illinois against the Sicilian SWAT Team. She would also appear at Crash 48, this time having her unconscious body used as a projectile by Strife. More appearances in taped segments would follow until she was worked out of the picture by being sent to the New Beginnings Recovery Treatment Center in Hollywood, California. She would soon be replaced on television by the much younger [[Blanche Barnett]]. Part of the reason for this was Walsh's kayfabe rehab stint, now the third time in four years. When her contract came up for renewal, NFW once again declined.

			On June 5, 2005, one day after NFW kicked officially began Ultratitle Season 2, Walsh filed a $13 million lawsuit against the company, citing allegations of sexual harassment and unsafe working conditions. NFW denied the allegations, and many former wrestlers came out publicly against Walsh claiming the allegations were unfounded. Eventually Walsh reduced the amount of damages she was seeking, and settled with NFW out of court for an undisclosed amount in November of 2006. It is believed Walsh received upwards of $2 million, though this is unconfirmed.

			In 2001, Walsh was offered a contract to work as a professional wrestling valet named '''Lana Dremire''' in New Frontier Wrestling. She was brought in specifically to work with Castor Strife, a new talent that was being pushed as a cult porn director. According to Walsh, NFW management believed her credentials in the porno industry would make for a dynamic pairing with the distinct camera presence of Strife. Although a newcomer to the wrestling business, Walsh would catch on quickly under the tutelage of Strife, [[Michael Manson]], and fellow valet [[Rayne]].

			NFW signed Walsh to a six-figure deal for the entirety of [[Ultratitle Season 1]]. She would continue to manage Strife and appear in segments as well. Her on-screen role would be continuously increased until Week 10, when it was announced that Castor Strife would end his duties in the ring to become Chairman of the Eastern Conference. Lana Dremire continued to appear in segments, but not as frequently as before. At Crash 20, she appeared in a segment called, "The Mike Manson Sex Tape" where she engaged in on-screen sexual acts with Manson entourage [[Snow White]] while Strife filmed it. This would be the last major appearance on NFW TV for Lana Dremire, as she only appeared sparingly thereafter.

			During her time in NFW, Walsh gained a notorious backstage reputation for drug use and lewd acts involving other wrestlers. At the conclusion of Season 1, NFW declined to pick up her option for the following season.

			Famed porn producer Jay Grdina discovered Walsh during her time in LA, and began casting her in pornographic films as Brittany Steele. Walsh's first pornographic film appearances were strictly lesbian scenes (a common way of easing women into the business). By the end of 1998, she had completed three films and was already doing heterosexual scenes. 1999 was a breakout year, as she starred in such films as "Dug Out," "Nutbusters: Volume 9," and "Spacial Facials," as well as eight other films distributed by Vivid Video. For her work, she won the 1999 AVN Award for "Best New Starlet," and was nominated in two other categories including "Best Actress--Video," and "Best Tease Performance."

			2000 brought a mixed bag of continued success and more trouble. On July 11th, 2000, Walsh was again arrested on charges of possession, this time for cocaine.

			=Early Life and Career=
			Walsh is noted as being a former honor student at Stratford High School, where she graduated in 1996. By summer, she enrolled at the Connecticut School of Broadcasting, where she spent a semester training for certification in television anchoring. Poor attendance and behavioral issues (including a DUI arrest) led to subpar grades and she dropped out by the Spring. Her weekend job as a bartender at a popular New Haven nightclub eventually put her in contact with the owner of a nearby strip club, where she began working in May of 1997. By the summer, she was dating the owner and moved with him to Los Angeles, CA where she would be one of the premiere dancers at his new strip club. More arrests would follow, one for disorderly conduct and another for possession of narcotics. Walsh was sentenced to 300 hours of community service, and her boyfriend would do a prison stint. Soon, the club was closed and she was out of work. It was by the following Spring that she would begin her career in pornographic films.

	Details regarding the early life of Castor V. Strife are sketchy at best. He was born on October 15, 1980 in Pavia, Italy, in the region of Lombardy . At the age of 10, his parents moved to Los Angeles, California before eventually retiring in Arizona. Castor, by then 16, was working as an intern for Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer and decided to stay in Hollywood to pursue his dream of being a famous director. By the time he was in film school, he was working weekends in a local wrestling promotion where he would do video distribution in exchange for booking. Quite the prodigy in the ring, he learned the ropes rather quickly and had several tryouts for big-time organizations by the end of college.

	Joining NFW's ranks in 2001, Castor set out to show the world his vision using pro-wrestling as his platform. He made his mark early, going unbeaten in his first three matches before dropping a razor close match to then NFW World Heavyweight Champion Shane Southern. During NFW's Season 1, Castor was drafted into the North Division where he enjoyed mixed success until resigning from full-time competition by Week 11. Fortunately for him, the newly established NFW Eastern Conference was in dire financial straits and in need of cash. The surplus of revenue Castor received from his films wound up funding the East's operations, and led to him being named Chairman of the Eastern Conference by Commissioner Michael Manson. Each show ended as a "Castor Von Strife Production." (Reportedly, Castor's middle name is actually Valor, although some maintain it is Virtuoso). By the time Season 2 rolled around, Castor had a ceremonial role in the NFW East (mainly handling Michael Manson's documents and such).

	From 2007-2008, Castor stayed out of the business completely to focus his attention on the ever-profitable Castor V. Strife Productions until making his return to NFW in late 2008. Initially tagging with Problem Child in Jimmy Mylde's 'Bold New Disaster', Castor decided to part ways from the group to once again focus on singles competition. One noticeable difference about Castor since his former days is the change in muscle mass. Initially weighing in at around 245 pounds, Castor came back 20 pounds heavier at 265, rumored to be on banned substances supplied to him by Jimmy Mylde (who himself has been indicted on steroid trafficking charges). Some even speculate that years of blackmarket Rx abuse has turned Castor delusional (as if he wasn't already).

	In early 2009, Castor had a series of unwelcome run-ins with NFW Television Champion Impulse, culminating in their draw at Crash 50. At the first edition of NFW's new TV show, Reloaded, Castor surprised Impulse with an impromptu challenge for the TV title. When it was looking as if Impulse would pull off the victory, the top rope snapped as he leapt up for a super hurricanrana. If the fall itself didn't snap Impulse's neck, the ensuing Director's Cut from Castor certainly did. Castor made the pin and in doing so captured the TV title.
