Today would have been the 86th birthday of Old School WWF Valet “Sweet” Sapphire (Real name: Juanita Wright).

Sapphire used to be in “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes’ corner as his valet in 1989 & 1990, before she sold out to the “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase at the WWF SummerSlam 1990 PPV.

Despite not being a trained pro-wrestler, she wrestled Sensational Sherri on several house shows, as well as teaming with Dusty against Sherri & Randy Savage at WrestleMania VI.

After leaving the World Wrestling Federation in the fall of 1990, Sapphire lost interest in the sport of professional wrestling.
