Caprice Coleman (born March 20, 1977) is an American professional wrestler who competes in Mid-Atlantic and Southern independent promotions including Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, NWA Wildside, Ring of Honor and, in recent years, Live Action Wrestling and the Christian Wrestling Federation. He has also made several appearances in World Wrestling Entertainment wrestling on WWE Heat and WWE Velocity.
Coleman began his career in the wrestling business as a referee and wrestler under the ringname of Ice in Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts where he was trained by Matt and Jeff Hardy. After the Hardys were signed by the World Wrestling Federation, Coleman moved on to NWA Wildside along with fellow OMEGA alumni Joey Matthews, Gregory Helms and Shannon Moore. He later won the NWA Georgia Junior Heavyweight Championship from Lazz on December 2, 2000. After a four-month reign, Coleman lost the title to J.C. Dazz at the NWA Wildside Arena in Cornelia, Georgia on March 29, 2001.
During the next several months, Coleman faced Havok, Dango Wynn, J.C. Dazz and Lazz. He lost to Jimmy Rave in a "Triple Threat" match with J.C. Dazz in a match for the title at the NWA Wildside Arena on April 21, 2001. Throughout the next year, he would also face Jeremy Lopez, Rainman and Jimmy Rave.
On June 29, 2002, Coleman defeated Cru Jones for the NWA Wildside Television Championship. A special stipulation to the match saw both men's valets Sweet Dreams and Destiny handcuffed together. Successfully defending the NWA Wildside Television Championship against Tony Mamaluke on July 6, he also took part in an 8-man "Loser Leaves NWA Wildside" match teaming with Sweet Dreams, Onyx and Kevin Hardner against Cru Jones, Tony Mamaluke, Malakai and Lazarus (with valets Destiny and Lisa) on June 22. Coleman pinned Jones to win the match and forced Jones to leave the promotion.
