Wrestling career

Hawai'i Championship Wrestling (2007-2008)

Mei Long made her first break in Hawai'i Championship Wrestling (HCW) while studying for her Associate's Degree in Honolulu Community College. Mei Long was apart of the HCW diva search, becoming quite a stand out because of her athleticism. However, she came second place, yet she was a fan favorite. Because of her training with the high school's wrestling team, President Linda Bade felt positive of her arrival, and wanted to keep her as a part of the HCW diva roster.

After running their last live show on June 14, 2008, Bade announced to the wrestlers, including Mei Long, that the wrestling federation would be on "hiatus", but since two stars of the roster, Kaimana and Ativalu, officially moved to another federation, it was decided to have HCW folded, releasing everyone's contracts.
