In her debut match, Hosaka (wearing a Mary Lou Retton-inspired gymnastics outfit and billed as "Malia Ho") teamed with Simmes against Mad Dog Debbie Irons and Linda Dallas.

[4] Hosaka debuted in Eastern Championship Wrestling at NWA Bloodfest on October 1, 1993, and defeated Molly McShane.

[2] Hosaka joined World Championship Wrestling in 1996 and competed in their newly formed women's division.

[10] In 1999, Hosaka took on longtime rival Brandi Alexander in a non-title match in Tulelake, California, for Rob Russen's IWA Florida promotion.

Since she was instantly recognized from her WCW appearances, the proposed "Rocky Balboa" idea for Malia's character fell to the wayside.

She also accompanied Taka Michinoku to the ring in his challenge for Dean Malenko's WWF Light Heavyweight Championship, but the storyline was not developed further.

She was contacted by David McLane to compete in the Women of Wrestling organization, but Hosaka turned down the offer because she felt McLaine was more interested hiring models and training them to act like wrestlers.

After the match, the evil Malia and Lexie Fyfe attacked Lee in the ring before Cindy Rogers made the save.

They then started another winning streak which was broken this time by Ashley and Nevaeh in the final of a six-team Gauntlet Match on Volume 21.

Lexie Fyfe, due to some illness, was not scheduled for the SHIMMER 4th ANNIVERSARY Tapings but Malia was and defeated Tenille, but lost to Ariel in Singles Action.

[12] She graduated Citrus High School in 1989 and later that year briefly attended Central Florida Community College.
