• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (May 1, 2003) – The First Lady Of Wrestling Passed Away
On this day in 2003, we lost Old School World Wrestling Federation Legend Miss Elizabeth (Real name: Elizabeth Hulette) at the young age of 42.
Liz became famous during her WWF run from 1985 to 1992, where she managed her then husband “The Macho Man” Randy Savage.
She died from mixing pain killers & cocaine with alcohol, and while her then boyfriend Luger was the worst possible partner & role model to her, he did in fact NOT – as falsely claimed all over the internet – kill her. It was her choice to follow him and mix those substances.
REST IN PEACE MISS ELIZABETH!
