Madusa Was Ronda Rousey Before Ronda Rousey Was Cool!
In today’s HEYMAN HUSTLE ON YAHOO! SPORTS blog, our boss Paul Heyman sang the high praises of former Director of Covert Operation for The Dangerous Alliance, Madusa.
In the story, Paul notes:
Madusa’s experiences in Japan (and, I believe, elsewhere in the Far East) led her to WCW, where we got to work together in The Dangerous Alliance. Madusa was my Director of Covert Operations, and our group included US Champion Ravishing Rick Rude; WCW World Tag Team Champions Arn Anderson and Bobby Eaton; Larry Zbyszko; and the young upstart in the group, WCW TV Champion THEN-Stunning but “NOW” Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Being the new female in WCW couldn’t have been easy for Madusa, especially when her job was to be a pre-Chyna female who was willing to fight the men. Whether it was kicking Ricky Steamboat in the head, or climbing to the top of the domed War Games cage to go face-to-face with WWE Hall of Fame Inductee Sting (and this was in 1992, before Mick Foley and The Undertaker battled on top of Hell in a Cell), Madusa was always breaking ground in a business that found her to have come along a few years too early.
Even WWE’s presentation of Madusa as the fiercely competitive, fit but feminine athlete ready to take out an entire division was ahead of its time, as the public in the mid-1990s didn’t know how to react to such a character. Of course, today, one of the biggest box office attractions in sports is UFC’s Ronda Rousey. You know, a fiercely competitive, fit but feminine athlete ready to take out an entire division. Sound familiar?
