Yes, Jackie Moore was wrestling in various promotions well before she came to the Federation. As I recall, she often went by "Miss Texas."
> Joanie Laurer had already been trained by Killer Kowalski and wrestled before signing with the WWF.
I learned something new today.
Yep, this is from that pre-WWF period:
Chyna is the all time best WWE Diva in my personal opinion. Chyna is not forgettable compared to today's forgettable female stars.

I too agree. She left a mark that no female wrestler could fill. Plus, Chyna will always be a wrestler first and Diva second
I'm going to give a shoutout to Wrestling Bios https://www.youtube.com/c/WrestlingBios/videos
His series Reliving the War, where he covers Both Nitro and Raw week by week has reached May 1997. So you know what that means?
I don't remember specific dates but I do remember some of the feuds going on in '97.
And yeah he does a good job with Reliving the War, although a lot of what he's done so far I've already just seen, and the ones I haven't watched yet would just be spoilers basically. I've rewatched Raw up to September '96 and Nitro up to March '97.

My favorite wrestler, as opposed to bodybuilder, was always Luna Vachon. Unfortunately, both women worked when McMahon was solidly against women's wrestling, and only wanted "valets" and "divas". The ascension of Sable (ptui!) is the low point of this era.
I look forward to watching this to see his perspective on the Monday Night Wars! I miss WCW, before Russo of course haha
Ironically, IIRC, I think most of the good looking women of WCW were during the Russo Era. A couple female bodybuilders and fitness competitors, Kimberly Page in her hardest shape ever. Hell, even Miss Elizabeth was looking pretty jacked during her time with Lex.
Yeah, it's amazing how Elizabeth looked then when she was nothing like that with Macho Man.
I prefer the women during Vince Russo era. They were gym goers, bodybuilders, fitness competitors, and more. Stephanie McMahon's era during her unfortunate time in the WWE brought in women that fit but not on the same level that Vince Russo.
And Stephanie McMahon is not creative! Her dad is Vince McMahon that's how she got the job!
I know she was deep into drugs towards the end of her life, I wonder if juicing were part of her "regimen".
For reference, here's how she looked in 2000: https://i.redd.it/g5a92e5cppb01.png

Miss Elizabeth looked jacked
I had completely forgotten about her:
This is Marianna Komlos, with her partner (I don't think they had a relationship outside of wrestling) Chaz. She had a great physique at one time (her GWM page is linked), being a champion Canadian bodybuilder in the mid 90's. Unfortunately she had passed away at the young age of 35 from breast cancer back in 2004.
Jim Cornette has kind of a funny story about working with the late Nicole Bass:
I'm a Jim Cornette listener myself. He really hates AEW for some reason. Lol I don't hate AEW.
I've been rewatching old episodes of Raw and Nitro on Peacock lately. One thing I never realized...
Jacqueline started before Chyna! Jacqueline's first appearance was in January 1997 in WCW when she joined Kevin Sullivan in a feud against Chris Benoit and Nancy. Chyna's first appearance was apparently at a WWF In Your House event in February 1997.
