Happy birthday Chris Von Erich!

So one of my friends reads A LOT (like think 200+ books a year) and she reads a lot of romance. And because I'm the "wrestling friend" anything remotely related to wrestling always gets brought to my attention.

Well someone shared a pro wrestling romance novel in one of her book groups and so of course she sent it to me. I looked up the author and he's written a bunch of hockey romance novels too and as soon as I saw that I was like this person for sure started off writing fanfiction lmao.

National Past Time: The Von Erichs Over America Tour

Brian Damage At one point in time in the early 1980’s, World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) was the hottest wrestling promotion in the entire country. It was reportedly generating over 11 million dollars a year and was shown in syndication in over 63 countries worldwide.

The First Lady of WCW: All About Missy Hyatt And How She Paved The Way For Women In Wrestling

Hi Everyone! I wanted to write an article about a woman who made a large contribution to the wrestling business. This article is going to be about the one and only , Missy Hyatt.

Missy Hyatt is a wrestling manager/valet , model , commentator, and a wrestler on occasion. Missy has made appearances in the WWF , WCCW , Impact Wrestling ( TNA) , Universal Wrestling Federation ( UWF ) , and ECW. However , she is mainly known for her time in World Championship Wrestling ( WCW) during the late 80s and early 90s. Missy’s career in the wrestling business started as a manager for her boyfriend at the time , John Tatum, in WCCW. She would have rivalries with other valets such as Sunshine in WCCW , Dark Journey in the UWF, and Robin Green ( Woman/Nancy Benoit ) in WCW. While in WWF, Vince McMahon wanted her to have her own segment , ‘ Missy ’s Manor ’ , to replace the popular segment , ‘ Piper’s Pit ’, which was hosted by Rowdy Roddy Piper , who left the WWF to focus on his acting career. The segment was considered a flop even after having the major stars of the company such as Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth on it . In WCW, she would become a manager and a commentator and the host of ‘WCW Main Event’ in 1990. However , she would start a rivalry with Paul E Dangerously ( Paul Heyman ) in 1991. Their rivalry would include an arm wrestling match and Hyatt stepping into the squared circle. She would also have a rivalry with Madusa ( Alundra Blayze ) over who was the real ‘ First Lady of WCW ’ in 1992.

Hyatt would win a Bikini Showdown over Madusa at WCW’s ‘Beach Blast’ Pay Per View . She would become the valet for The Bushwhackers for their match against The Thunderfoots in the IWA. She was still with WCW at the time.

In 1993 , Hyatt took on the role as a manager for The Barbarian for a short time and tried to take on Ric Flair as one of her clients on ‘ WCW Saturday Night ’. She would begin managing the Nasty Boys at the ’ Fall Brawl ’ Pay Per View the same year . Missy would make her final WCW appearance in 1994.

Missy Hyatt would make her ECW debut in 1995 cutting a promo. In her promo , she would be making fun of the ECW fans. Stevie Richards who was planted in the crowd , saw Hyatt. A plant is a wrestler who is plays the role of a fan. They can be found in the front row of a wrestling show. She would reappear for the company in 1996 and offer her service as a manager to The Sandman , after declining an offer from his rival , Raven, to join his stable , Raven’s Nest. She also would have a match against Raven and Lori Fullington ( the wife of The Sandman). Her tag team partner would be The Sandman. Hyatt was going to face Lori in a singles match at the ‘ Natural Born Killaz ’ Pay Per View , however , she was sidelined due to a broken elbow. She would make a cameo appearance for ECW in 2001.

Missy Hyatt would spend some time on the Independent Wrestling Circuit . In 2007, she would have her own interview segment, ‘ Missy’s Manor ’ , for the women’s wrestling promotion, ‘ Women Superstars Uncensored’ ( WSU). She would also manage Lance Storm in 2016. In 2021 , she would be the tag team partner for Brian Myers in Impact Wrestling’s Homecoming Tournament.

My Final Thoughts:

Missy Hyatt is a pioneer for women in wrestling. She needs to be in WWE Hall of Fame in my opinion. She proved that women can do anything in the wrestling business.

Love You All,

- Kay
