This was my favourite TV show as a child in the 80s. It could have only happened in the un-PC 80s: the wrestlers were all "characters," with names such as Palestina the Terrorist (!!!), Americana, Colonel Ninotchka (the Russian Communist, of course), Ebony the black girl from Cabrini Green, Sally the Farmer's Daughter, and on and on. As you can imagine, Colonel Ninotchka and Americana had a rivalry, as did Palestina and Sally the (All American) Farmer's Daughter.
The girls all did a rap before they went into the ring. This show will make you laugh until you cry.

What was the big woman's name? Mount Fuji or something like that?
I loved the horrible skits they would do between matches.

Mount Fiji and her cousin, Little Fiji.
Those horrible skits were HILARIOUS. There was one from Tina Ferrari, "Tips from Tina" in which she said,
"Ladies, if you want a man, stay in shape. After all, beauty may be skin deep, but ugly's to the bone." LOLOL

OH MY GOD!!!! This was my guilty pleasure growing up... I'd actually have to sneak to watch it cause my mom would always yell to "turn off that crap" when I was caught.
I think when Debbie of the Cheerleaders dislocated her elbow, I was traumatized for life! What was the other one? Susie Spirit or something????
Wow, you just took me back - WAAAAY back.

Oh yeah, I remember Tina Ferrari.
And the tag team, Hollywood and Vine.

Hahahaha
Suzy Spirit dislocated her elbow- I think EVERYONE remembers that moment!! Debbie Debutante (LOL) looked on in horror.
But, I think the MOST inappropriate matchup was when they pitted Ebony the black girl against Sarah and Mabel, the KKK members from the South. SO WRONG.

Posted: 11/16/05 at 5:20pmApparently when I was a baby this was my favorite show, my dad, sister, and I would watch it every morning after going to the donut shop down the street. I earned my first nickname from the show...the Great Rachoula. I don't know what character the name is based off of though.

Ashley Cartier, the Beverly Hills princess' rap:
My name is Ashley Carter
Beverly Hills is where I play
I may be pretty, and very rich
But mess with me and you'll see a witch!
I am living.
