Outlook - Minnesota has produced a handful of colorful female talents in recent years and ODB is one of the most notable. Although she was Jessica Dalton, a women's wrestler with a curvy body and a rough style, she transformed into the ODB. Although she still has her substance, ODB added a lot of spice to her persona. She became a bit wild and eventually added drinking to her persona in OVW. Although she never signed a developmental deal, which limited her push, ODB was tremendously entertaining and became a cult favorite. The WWE never picked her up, but TNA did and she caught on quickly. While not as talented a worker as many of her peers and not as model-like as others, ODB has a distinct character, look and style that make her stick out. She has seemed like someone bound to catch on and that may happen very soon.
