It is such a shocker to me. Again, another piece of my childhood is gone.
Whether as a wrestler, or a manager, she wasn't ashamed of the fact that
she wasn't there to be eye candy, and she was very effective in both roles.
She also wasn't afraid to mix it up with the guys, either. Today's "divas"
have a lot to learn from her. She will be sorely missed.
