Elizabeth Hulette
November 19, 1960-May 1, 2003

I sit down at my computer to write my new Q&A with my readers and what do I see on WrestlingDotCom? "WWE Releases Statement Concerning The Death Of Miss Elizabeth," shock ran through my body as I thought maybe it was a misprint or something. After I read it, I scrolled down just a little bit more and read the rest of the story. I have not been as shocked to hear of a wrestlers death since the late Owen Heart.

Instead of posting the Q&A today as planned, it will be posted later on in the week. Today, I would like to pay tribute to the "First lady of Wrestling," with a column dedicated to Elizabeth Hulette.

Before, we get started here are four great pictures of the late Elizabeth from her day's in the WWF and more recently in the WCW.

Elizabeth Hulette was born on November 19, 1960, better known as Miss Elizabeth to wrestling fan's. She attended the University of Kentucky, and received a degree in Communications. Elizabeth and Macho Man Randy Savage made their WWE debut in the mid 1980s and soon became an extraordinary couple in the WWF. Love was in the air for the two, as they became husband and wife in 1991 at the WWF yearly PPV, SummerSlam.

As timed passed by for the happy couple, their relationship became very bumpy on and off television. Elizabeth managed Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage as the WWF Tag team Champions. During this time one of the biggest feuds broke out in the WWF between Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan. Jealousy started brewing in Savage towards Hogan and Liz. Several excellent matches came from the feud, which ended at Wrestlemania 5. Where the two wrestled in a anything goes match.

After leaving the WWF, Savage and Liz headed for the WCW, little did they know what lay ahead for them. The two entered WCW and a storyline soon broke out of the two splitting up and Liz found herself with Ric Flair and the Horsemen.

On and off the air Elizabeth and Savage had come to an end. Elizabeth filled for a divorce. Savage blamed Hulk Hogan and his wife for the divorce. Eventually the two found their way back to each other and joined forces with the NWO.

After joining the NWO Savage and Liz begun a feud with DDP and his wife Kimberly. No one on one match was ever signed for the two ladies. In December of 1997 Liz married once again. This time he was not a Professional Wrestler, he was an attorney named Cary Lubetsky. After the marriage she only worked part-time for WCW. But a few months after the wedding, it all feel apart.

In 1999 she came back to the WCW full-time as the valet for "The Total Package" Lex Lugar. Being along aside of Lex, we seen a side of Liz we never seen before. She showed more aggression in her final year of WCW then she ever did in the WWF. Liz on more then one occasion attacked many WCW Superstars with a baseball bat or sprayed mace in their eyes. This included Lex Lugars best friend Sting. She helped Lex beat Sting at Starrcade PPV in December of 99.'

In 2000 the WCW started to fold and collapse without a true boss to lead the company. With the trouble WCW found itself in they had no choice but to cut over half the roster. In August of 2000 Elizabeth was one of the Superstars to be cut from the company. After her release nothing was heard of her until now.

"Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doing things that you don't understand
But if you love him you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand."

To quote the late Tammy Wynette song "Stand By You Man," that is just what Elizabeth did. No matter if she was with Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, the 4 Horsemen, Randy Savage or Lex Lugar. Liz stood by her man no matter what. She proved that to the fan's on more then one occasion. Elizabeth Hulette was a "true" Diva of her time. She helped pave the road for what we now know as the Women's Division of the WWE. Her smart wit, her sex appeal and over all girl next door attitude is what made WWF and WCW fans fall in love with her. She will be deeply missed. I send my condolence to the friends and family of the true "First lady of Wrestling," Miss Elizabeth.

Until next time take of yourself and count your blessings.

Cena will now try to redeem wrestling in the eyes of Hip-Hop and show his appreciation for the culture with his debut album Underground. It features collaborations with Freddie Foxxx and 7L & Esoteric and was financed entirely by Cena. However, Cena is in it for props, not profits. "If [listeners] like it, they like it. If they hate, they can. At least realize this kid is real," he says. "It's Hip-Hop. I'm not doing it as a gimmick."

RIP

People are joking about this? Burn in hell, hipsters.

I feel like I posted this somewhere here but there was a football player in my high school who dressed just like Macho Man - weird fringed T-shirts, beard, sunglasses, crazy hats, etc. He had for some reason switched allegiances because for the year or so before that he dressed like Hulk Hogan, all red and yellow (despite being our rival schools' colors - he was that dedicated) with lots of shirts with fanciful rips in the back and a big horseshoe mustache. I don't know what caused the switch, or if since 1990 he has ever stopped dressing like Macho Man.

Was he influenced by Sun Ra? He said something about Space is the Place in that youtube vid and his outfit is pretty Arkestra-esque too.

yeah i noticed that space is the place thing

RIP and I love this guy forever.

the trauma of seeing him being bitten by Jake the Snake's cobra remains with me.
