I missed a day of posting here. Sorry; Blogger was down when I tried to reach it.

A few bits of news hit while I was off:

• Lawler made the official announcement: he and Stacy "Kat" Carter have broken up.

  
  It doesn't reallt come as a surprise... he's at least 30 years her elder. What could they really have in common?




• From the Wrestling Observer:

  
  Rhonda Singh, who also wrestled under the names Bertha Faye in the WWF and Monster Ripper in Japan and Mexico, passed away this past Friday at the age of 40. Singh, in the mid-80s when she headlined in Japan was nicknamed the female Terry Gordy because of her size and brawling style before later becoming a comedy figure in the WWF and the butt of some jokes in WCW.

  
  I never got to see her stint in Japan, only her days here as Bertha Faye, where she was just played up as "the gross fat lady who bumps into opponents".

  
  I think this more shows the unwillingness of Vince McMahon to not let any female wrestler shine - especially if she isn't a thin hottie with massive implants. As a result, we never got to see what Rhonda could really do.
