Alundra Blayze also known as Madusa was one of those pioneer women that really helped mainstream wrestling believe in the talent of the women in their rosters. Blayze born, Debrah Ann Miceli, was an intense act that had a wide array of different offensive weapons in her arsenal. She was technical but wasn't afraid to take things to the top turnbuckle and get ugly. Her skill level helped usher in a new generation of women wrestlers that were focused on the art of professional wrestling. Not a lot of women during her prime years were delivering Piledrivers in such perfectly-executed fashion as she was.
Madusa began her pro-wrestling career with the American Wrestling Association in 1986. Three years later, in 1989, she became the first foreigner to sign a contract with the All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling organization. From 1991 to 2001, Alundra Blayze bounced back and forth between the WCW and WWF but was eventually banned from the WWF for appearing on an episode of WCW's Monday Nitro and throwing the WWF Women's Championship in the trash. Blayze became the first woman ever to win the WCW World Cruiserweight Championship in 1999. Since then, the WWE has forgiven her and inducted her in the WWE Hall of Fame and she now drives monster trucks for a living and works as the commissioner of the Japanese promotion World Wonder Ring Stardom. Alundra Blayze has lived one hell of a life and is the truth.
