OVERVIEW
OF THE 90s
American
wrestling in the 1990's saw a massive change in the way that women were
used in the American wrestling product. With WCW and WWF/WWE being the
major promotions for wrestling during this era in the states. Women's
wrestling
at the start of the 1990's in the WWF / WWE was non existent with the
WWF
women's title being declared vacant in 1990. Most American
women's
wrestling talent were instead involved in Tor Berg's LPWA during the
yeas
1989 to 1992. 
|
|
LPWA
The
LPWA promoted by Tor Berg originated in 1989 and at the time held the
distinction
of being the only all female professional wrestling promotion outside
of
Japan. The LPWA had a live tv show that ran throughout the USA and was
also televised in a number of countries around the world.
(
Australia showed LPWA on SKY TV )
The
LPWA roster included such known stars as Madusa, Terri Power (later
to become Tori in the WWE) Magnificent Mimi,
Malia
Hosaka, Misty Blue and Candi Divine. Japanese wrestlers like Harley
Saito,
Eagle Sawai, Mitzuki Endoh and American Japanese star Reggie Bennett.
Former
WWF champions Wendi Richter, Lei Lani Kai, Judy Martin, Desiree
Peterson,
Noriyo Tateno and Rockin Robin. Mexican luchadoras La Gata and Alma
Alvarez.
As well as legends like Susan Green and Susan Sexton
(who was LPWA's longest reigning and most celebrated champion)
On
the 23rd of February 1992 the LPWA held a payperview titles "Super
Ladies
Showdown". The show however only drew 400 people and the PPV had a low
viewer rate which led to a quick demise for the company. |
|
| AMERICANS
IN JAPAN
The
American scene without the WWF / WWE offering women's wrestling
appeared
to be in a down phase for women's wrestling and a few of the women
wrestlers
packed their bags and and went to japan in hope of broadening their
career
prospects and better their skills.
One
American Madusa Micelli headed off to Japan and not only captured the
IWA
World title in Japan but at the end of 1990, she was voted "All-Japan
Inspirational
Wrestler of the Year."
Debbie
Malenko was another that followed suit and left to make her mark on the
Japanese pro wrestling scene. Debbie Malenko made her Japanese
wrestling
debut in March 1991. During her time in Japan she was able to
successfully
capture the ALL JAPAN TAG TITLES: with partner Sakie Hasegawa in 1992
and
the ALL JAPAN SINGLES in 1993. Unfortunately in March 1993 Debbie was
forced
to vacate the title due to injury. Her last match was in March 1993
which
was just before the WWF (WWE) decided to bring back their WWF women's
title
in America at the end of 1993.
With
the LPWA appearing in trouble in 1992 a couple of other American women
started to go to Japan for stints in the Japanese women's promotions.
These
women were Terri Power who went on to become Tori in the WWE,
Reggie
Bennett who went on to receive a big push in Japan and Magnificent Mimi
who went on a brief stint.
|
| THE WWF WWE
NEW WOMEN'S DIVISION.
The
WWF / WWE reinstated the women's division and created a tournament at
the
end of 1993 to find a new women's champion. Back from Japan the
talented
Madusa Micelli was renamed Alundra Blayze and became the new
women's
title holder when on the 13th of December 1993 she defeated Heidi Lee
Morgan
in the tournament final.
Once
Madusa was the WWF / WWE women's champion the WWF then brought in one
of
Madusa's Japanese rivals. Bull Nakano in story line was brought in by
Luna
Vachon. Bull Nakano battled with Alundra a number of times before
defeating
her on the 20th of November 1994 in Tokyo, JAPAN.
The
WWF decidedly looked like a two women only division as Alundra Blayze
and
Bull Nakano continued to battle it out with Alundra Blayze succeeding
in
winning back the title on the 3rd of April 1995.
As
soon as Madusa won back the title Canadian star Rhonda Sing who had
made
a name for herself in Japan under the guise of "Monster Ripper" turned
up to attack her. Rhonda first appeared very much like her "Monster
Ripper"
character but was very quickly reworked into a new colorful but silly
gimmick
by the name of Bertha Faye by the WWF / WWE.
Bull
Nakano disappeared from the WWF / E and Bertha Faye quickly slotted
into
the two women division story lines. Bertha Faye in August of 1995
won the title which Alundra reclaimed once more on the 23rd of October
1995.
The
WWF were not inventive in reactivating their women's title and the WWF
never looked much more than a 2 woman roster during its 1993 to 1995
revival.
There was no doubting both the popularity and ability of Madusa but the
interest became stale as the WWF did not supply the champion with
enough
different opponents to keep the audience captivated. When you consider
the men's division had ample men to run interference during matches and
create twisting story lines the WWF / WWE women's division had normally
only two women and for a large part of the time only one of the two
women
(Madusa / Alundra Blaze) spoke.
By
the end of 1995 the WWF expressed no interest in continuing the title
and
Alundra Blayze (Madusa Micelli) left for WCW. |
|
WCW INTRODUCE
A WOMEN' DIVISION.
As
the WWF women's division lay dormant Madusa surfaced in WCW and at the
prompting of Eric Bishoff threw her WWF title into the trash can on a
Nitro
episode. WCW then copied the same path that the WWF had done and
brought
in Bull Nakano to battle Madusa in a title less division. The matches
were
nothing new to the American wrestling viewers however and WCW decided
to
negotiate with Japanese promotion GAEA to create a women's division.
A
eight woman tournament begun using the GAEA women in which Akira Hokuto
appeared twice. (once as herself and once under a mask as Reina Jabuki)
In the tournament final Akira Hokuto managed by Sonny Ono and
accompanied
ringside by her husband won against Madusa to become the first
and
only WCW women's champion in history. |
With
the popularity of the WCW's men cruiserweight division in their mind
and
the GAEA promotion having a number of smaller women to use WCW
introduced
a women's cruiserweight division which was taken out by Toshie
Uetmasu.
The
WCW cruiserweight belt was never to be defended in the USA again
however
as Chigusa Nagayo promoter and wrestler of GAEA had a falling out with
Eric Bishoff which ultimately led to the end of the women's division in
WCW.
The
finish of the alliance was signaled when Madusa lost a loser retires
match
to Akira Hokuto and the women's division was never to be seen again.
|
WWF WWE REINSTATE
THE WOMEN'S TITLE
In
the late 1990s the popularity of Reno Mero (Sable) re ignited interest
in a women's division. In a WWF /WWE story line Sable at war with her
husband
Mark Mero is faced off against Jacqueline.
ON
the 15th of September 1998 Jacqueline defeated Sable for the vacant WWE
tittle.
The
rest of the 1990's saw the title change a number of times : Sable 15th
Nov, 1998, Debra 10th May 1999, Ivory 8th June 1999, Moolah 17th
October
1999 and Miss Kitty on the 12th of December 1999.
THE MAJOR
SHIFTS IN WRESTLING AFFECT WOMEN'S WRESTLING
To
compare wrestlers like Madusa and Akira Hokuto to Miss Kitty or Debra
basically
shows how much of a shift occurred in women's wrestling in America.
Talent
and Ability were sadly replaced with a new form of T&A. Some would
see ECW's use of women as for a reason for the shift. Alternatively one
could see the target audience as a reason for the change. No longer
were
women and children embraced as a part of the viewing audience but a new
strong focus on targeting a male 15-35 age bracket instead was
developed.
Other promotions followed what ECW were doing. ECW were known for
using women not from within the wrestling industry but form the adult
one.
The
focus for women was taken off the empowered woman who in wrestling was
equally skilled to that of any male to that of the more demeaning task
of the valet that carried the clothes, lost them (often on purpose) or
was to beat up by a male counterpart and wrestle in whatever was mixed
up (mud, gravy etc)
Even
Madusa the leading American wrestler of the mid 90's became a valet
accompanying
Randy Savage to the ring with females Mona (Miss Madness / Molly Holly)
and Gorgeous George.
In
1999 WCW used a few independent stars for a women's division : Brandi
Alexander,
Lexie Fyfe, Little Jeanne, Dee dee Venturi, Ronda Sing and Mona saw a
brief
resurgence in women's wrestling.
|
|
THE EXCEPTION
TO THE RULE
The
only one to really survive this trend was perhaps Chyna (Joanie Laurer)
who was the first woman to be used extensively in the men's division.
Chyna
(Joanie Laurer) was similar in build to the men she worked against. She
started in the WWE as a bodyguard to Triple H and in Degeneration X
quickly
became a rather unusual focus.
Her
story line to begin with in the WWE was not very dissimilar to one that
WCW used with Jacqueline where she stood ringside and took a shot at
any
poor unfortunate that ventured outside the ring.
Chyna
was in a league of her own. She was first woman to compete in both the
Royal Rumble and the King of the Ring tournament and in October 1999
Chyna
became the first ever female Intercontinental Champion.
For
women's wrestling in general however Chyna was not a icon of it but was
really a extreme example that did not comfortably fit into it. A point
proven when the WWE decided to place Chyna in the women's division and
basically annihilate everyone in it. |

Name:
Madusa Micelli
Nationality:
American
Real
Name: Often is listed as Debra Micelli,
Madusa
states it is really Debra Lewandowsky.
Height: 178cm
Weight:
70kg
DOB: 9/2/1964
Career
Span: Pro Debut: 1987 until WCW's
demise
Promotions: mostly
known for wrestling for AWA, WWF / WWE, WCW & AJW
Titles:
AWA, IWA, WWF / WWE
Highlights: Madusa
was probably the most respected and popular woman's pro wrestler in
America
during the decade of the 1990s. Madusa was voted "Pro Wrestling
Illustrated"
Rookie of the Year when she started and was, the first woman ever to be
honored with that award. Madusa
began her wrestling career in 1987 in the Minnesota based American
Wrestling
Association. (AWA) Madusa captured the AWA Women's Title by defeating
Candy
Devine in December of 1987. Madusa held the title until Nov. 1988
when she lost it to Wendi Richter. After leaving the AWA Madusa
signed
on with All Japan Women's Wrestling and won the IWA World title. Competing
in Japan was tough. Madusa wrestled as well as worked against Aja Kong
in a bloody kickboxing match. Madusa had her nose broken several times
in Japan, she worked hard and at the end of 1990, she was voted
All-Japan
Inspirational Wrestler of the Year.
Madusa
through the early 90's worked for AJW and LPWA in America. Madusa also
did some work for WCW in the early 90's but in 1993 the Madusa name was
dropped to be reworked into the gimmick of Alundra Blayze for the
WWF/WWE. |
 Madusa
then in 1995 went back to the Madusa name for WCW for a few years. She
is currently not involved with wrestling but still has a very public
profile
with her involvement with driving on the Monster Truck circuit. Madusa
also has written an autobiography that should be out by the end of
2004.
Madusa
has a great website where she also answers questions for fans and has
collectable
Madusa items for sale.
The
address is
www.madusa.com |
n
reading Madusa's responses to her fans Madusa comes across very much
like
a woman that questions things a lot and demands a lot of herself and
others.
Madusa
in her comments appears to be a woman who was a critic of herself and
others
in order to try and create a top class product for the audience. In
reading
her frank answers you can gain a lot of insight into how she has
managed
to achieve so much.
The
woman behind Madusa and Alundra Blayze has always had an amazing aura
about
her characters
that
is so rarely seen in the ring. Madusa through the 90's became the
biggest
name in wrestling for women in America.
One
of the most common questons still asked is if and when she will return
to wrestling because her fans miss her. Presently however Madusa
doesn't
seem to be showing any signs of returning to wrestling. |
