00:00Hey everybody, welcome to the Women of WCW, I'm Todd Newton.
00:16And as many of you know, I've been a wrestling fan since I was just a kid.
00:20I mean, come on, there's nothing better than a bunch of grown, buffed up men beating the daylights out of each other in the middle of the ring,
00:26except women beating the daylights out of each other in the middle of the ring.
00:30So we here at E figured, what the heck, you know, let's go ahead and follow a trio of these brawling beauties around for a little while.
00:37Their names are Tori Wilson, Sharmel Sullivan, and Stacey Keebler.
00:42But they're better known to world championship wrestling fans as Tori, Kaisley, and Miss Hancock.
00:47From the WCW Training Center in Atlanta to late night road stops on the way to packed arenas,
00:53These tough heroines will show you the wild realities of women's wrestling.
00:57And along the way, we'll meet some other WCW stars, some trainers, sexy nitro girl dancers, and fans just like you and me.
01:05Tell you what, I can't wait to get started, huh?
01:07And we are having a unique look in the women's bathroom.
01:12I think it's actually a good sign for the ages to show that women are actually allowed to get into the ring.
01:17It's like a soap opera for guys, I think.
01:25Yeah.
01:25It's like we can get into our own soap opera instead of stupid little events they got for the girls.
01:30Yeah, you get interested in the story and you want to see what happens next.
01:33Tear it off!
01:34Whoa!
01:35Is she naked?
01:37Kids love it.
01:38Adults love it.
01:39A lot of people that we consider closet wrestlers watch it at home.
01:43They don't like to admit that they watch it, but they will come here and they'll get excited about it too.
01:47I love it.
01:51I think it's cool.
01:52It shows that girls can do anything boys can do.
01:54I know when I was a young girl, I didn't think I would be able to follow my dreams, and it came true.
01:59Photo journalist Michael Lanham has followed the sport since he was a boy.
02:03Wrestling roots go back to the carnival days back in the early 1900s, what was called ad shows or challenging people out of the audience to fight somebody, marks or plants or what have you.
02:15In those early days, men dominated the profession, but it didn't take long for women to climb into the ring.
02:21Early women wrestlers included the fabulous Moolah and Nell Stewart, the 1950s Marilyn Monroe of pro wrestling.
02:28When Ted Turner founded the WCW in the late 80s, a whole new breed of women emerged.
02:36Some were still classically trained, like Medusa, but the male wrestlers' sexy escorts, known as valets, were gaining their own followings.
02:45There was also the addition of a cheerleader-like dance team called the Nitro Girls.
02:50A lot of the women in wrestling aren't the classically trained women wrestlers.
03:00There's a saying in wrestling that it takes you seven years of wrestling in front of people before you should even be considered a wrestler.
03:08And now it's so popular because they've gotten models and people from the muscular fitness world who really had no thought of going into pro wrestling,
03:18but they've brought them into it, given them some training, and they're on television either as valets or bodyguards.
03:25The WCW has the best we can win, plain and simple.
03:28My name is Tori Wilson, and I, um, I don't know what you call what I do.
03:32I'm a wrestler slash valet slash vixen slash whatever, whatever's needed.
03:39I'm on a roll here, honey.
03:41If there's anybody in the building mad enough to stand up to the franchise, well, come on down.
03:50Our roll on camera is to antagonize the crowd, and we have a lot of fun doing that.
03:55Tori's become very good at doing it.
03:57I don't know if that's a, uh, you know, a little bit of that Miss Boise, Idaho being pushed to the side
04:01and some more of the real Tori Wilson coming out.
04:03She's on the back of Mike Awesome.
04:05I've always wanted to do something with, you know, acting and modeling and, you know, whatever in the entertainment industry.
04:11I never, you know, thought or dreamed it would be in wrestling.
04:15I competed in fitness competitions, uh, a few years back, and I went with a couple friends to a house show
04:20and, um, met Kevin Nash and Eric Bischoff and everybody backstage,
04:23and Kevin somehow got a hold of my home number and called me about a week later
04:27and asked if I was interested in doing something small, and it just kept building and building.
04:31We've been doing more and more lately just because we're trying to get the women more and more involved.
04:35My name is Charmelle Sullivan. I work for World Championship Wrestling, and on the show I'm known as Paisley.
04:45I was touring with James Brown when a really good friend of mine, Tigress,
04:49told me that they were having auditions to be a Nitro Girl.
04:52Before we became with WCW, I was a CPA, believe it or not.
04:56But I always danced, like, my whole entire life.
04:58I was a Nitro Girl for two years before, um, Vince called me up and asked me to do the role as Tigress.
05:03This is very comfortable. It's stretchy. It moves when I do.
05:09And it's Tigresswear.
05:10I was known as the Nitro Girl Storm.
05:13So I did that for about a year, and then the writers called me and said,
05:16we're going to make you a character on the show.
05:18They actually called me on a Friday and said, Monday, you're going to be Paisley.
05:22Go buy a purple outfit, and that was it.
05:26My name is Stacy Keebler.
05:28I am Miss Hancock on WCW Wrestling, and I am starting out as a valet.
05:34Now I'm getting a little more involved in wrestling, a little bit, but I'm not considered a wrestler.
05:39Nature Guns has no external objects concealed in her top that Miss Hancock doesn't have.
05:44I never really said that I wanted to be a wrestler, involved in wrestling.
05:48But at the age of three, I started dancing.
05:51I was involved in tap, ballet, and jazz.
05:53My parents got me a little bit more involved in commercials and theater.
05:57I entered the Nitro Girl Contest to be one of the Nitro Girls, the dancers,
06:01and ended up winning out of a national search.
06:04It was difficult for some of the people because Stacy came on after winning the contest
06:09and was immediately put into a character role.
06:12So she only stayed a Nitro Girl, I don't know, maybe a month or so, if that.
06:17So she just basically blew up, but she never let it go to her head.
06:20She stayed very level-headed and very, very sweet.
06:23So, you know, you can't help but to like her.
06:25My parents and my family, all my aunts and uncles and my cousins,
06:29they all tape it or watch it every Monday night.
06:31Monday and Wednesdays are just like safety night.
06:34Like, my whole family is so supportive.
06:36They just backed me 100%.
06:37But not all parents are wrestling fans.
06:40It's definitely not the path that they chose for me.
06:43I have a degree in mathematics, and I was headed to engineering school
06:47to get a second degree in biomedical engineering before I started touring as a background dancer.
06:54So there was sort of a conundrum because both of my parents are educators.
06:58My brother's a lawyer.
06:59You know, my sister-in-law's a lawyer.
07:01So everybody sort of wanted me to go the safe route.
07:04But they definitely support me.
07:05They watch me, and my mom gets a kick out of it now.
07:08So it's great.
07:08When I first started, my mom was really into it, you know, watched me all the time and stuff.
07:14But lately I've been doing a lot more risque things, so she chooses not to watch anymore.
07:20The tape from Billy Kidman with Billy and Tori together.
07:23I have two separate wardrobes.
07:25The one I wear on TV, it's very risque.
07:29Just very different.
07:30I'm not the kind of person that would walk around, you know, throwing my boobs around
07:34and trying to get attention to help someone win or whatever.
07:39Well, Tori, I have to say that when I first got involved in this job, I watched the show before.
07:44And I was like, oh, I wonder what Tori's going to be like.
07:46And when I came backstage, she just, we became instant friends.
07:50Right now on the show, we're both heels.
07:53And I think that maybe it's stereotypical to think that, you know,
07:56a beautiful blonde girl would be a snob in real life.
07:59And we're just durable people.
08:02Paisley's a bad girl.
08:04So, you know, this is an acting stretch for me because I'm a good girl.
08:07But it's more fun to be a bad girl.
08:09I like the heat that you get from the audience.
08:14Sometimes we're out there in front of 10,000, 20,000 people.
08:17It's just a rush to have all those people watching you.
08:20But not everyone thinks having more women in the ring is a good thing.
08:23I wouldn't say so much the fact that they're women, the way we were,
08:27but the fact that they're not trained yet.
08:28A lot of them, uh, so-called green.
08:32They can put me on my back any day of the week, any night.
08:34You know, I'm all for that.
08:36But as far as getting in the ring with me, are you kidding me?
08:37Look at it.
08:38That's the largest arm in the world.
08:39How long do you think they'd last against that?
08:41It's sex appeal and sex sales, especially, uh, today in wrestling.
08:46I think the crowd likes to see women, you know, they love to see catfights.
08:50The place pops whenever two girls start at it.
08:52And, um, yeah, definitely there's going to be a lot more women brawling in the ring.
08:57Coming up...
08:58We'll meet our girls in Atlanta for an exclusive peek at wrestling boot camp.
09:04We'll take a road trip to Albuquerque for a ringside seat at a never-before-televised house show.
09:11Plus, we'll watch a live Nitro event come to life,
09:14go backstage with the wrestlers,
09:16and hang with the Nitro girls.
09:18All that and more, when the Women of the WCW returns.
09:35Welcome back to Women of the WCW.
09:38Todd Newton here, pumping the big weights at World Gym in Marina Del Rey, California.
09:43And, you know, friends, for a pro wrestler,
09:45there's nothing more important than proper training.
09:49So what do you say we catch up with our girls in Atlanta
09:51to see if they're ready to climb into that ring, huh?
09:55Let's go on down to Atlanta.
09:57Yeah.
09:59Thank you, girls.
09:59I almost felt like I was doing that myself.
10:04Torrey.
10:07Paisley.
10:08What is Paisley doing?
10:10And Miss Hancock.
10:11May be as physically gifted, as they are gorgeous.
10:16But they weren't born knowing how to pile dry.
10:19So...
10:20We're at the power plant every Wednesday and Thursday, two days a week.
10:24All day.
10:25Both days.
10:26The place to be is right here, the power plant in Atlanta, Georgia.
10:30Ready.
10:31Y'all say ready when I say ready.
10:33You know that.
10:34Ready.
10:34Ready.
10:35The power plant is ground zero for the WCW's wrestling women.
10:40Training may look like fun and games.
10:42But trust me, this is no workout for wins.
10:44The first day we were at the power plant,
10:47I think I cried, like, a million times.
10:50Typical day at the power plant.
10:52All right, we're in here at 9.30.
10:53We stretch.
10:54We warm up.
10:55We may go through some drills, running in place, push-ups,
10:58up and down off the mat.
11:00Down.
11:01Back.
11:02Billy.
11:03Get up.
11:05Get up.
11:06Then we get in the ring.
11:07We'll do some sit-ups.
11:08We'll do monkey flips.
11:11We'll run the ropes.
11:13Hit the ropes, Stacy.
11:14Go.
11:14Run.
11:15Hit up.
11:16Run.
11:16Come on.
11:17And then we take that first back bump of the day, which wakes you up.
11:21Back.
11:21Back bump.
11:22Come on.
11:23Tori up.
11:24And, you know, we break for lunch.
11:26We come back and Medusa may start teaching us new moves.
11:29So it's just constant, non-stop action.
11:32It sucks.
11:33It's so hard.
11:34Yeah, they definitely are kicking our butt.
11:37The woman overseeing all of this action is Debra Miscelli, better known to wrestling
11:42fans as Medusa.
11:44Medusa has a fighter, and she just connected with that right back kick.
11:49It's her job to turn these rookie wrestlers into titans of terror.
11:52Training is very hard.
11:55You're either going to like me, or you're going to dislike me.
11:58Come on, Tori.
11:59Go.
12:00Come on.
12:01Go.
12:02What we're doing is taking the group of girls and seeing what each girl has.
12:06Knees up.
12:06Come on.
12:07There you go.
12:08Either you have it or you don't.
12:09Bigger steps, honey.
12:10Come on.
12:11Bigger, bigger, bigger steps.
12:13And it's sad, and it's not cruel.
12:16Medusa?
12:16She's a little hard on us at times, but I think that because of her being hard on us, I do
12:22things that I would not normally try.
12:24She is such a bad girl.
12:27She's really tough.
12:29Medusa?
12:29Oh, my goodness.
12:31She is the best.
12:32She makes us go over and over and over and over things again and again.
12:37Excuse me.
12:37Excuse me.
12:38Get back in the corner.
12:41Which way do you turn?
12:43If you're going to move.
12:44Okay.
12:44Just checking.
12:45In the ring, you only have one chance, so you have to make sure you know what you're doing
12:49and you do it right.
12:50That's Medusa's job.
12:52She's awesome at it.
12:53In every move that there is, there's 10 ways to counter it, or there's 10 ways to make
12:57it look better.
12:58There's 10 ways to fall.
13:00Like I said, you all will establish your own way of doing things.
13:04Women's bodies are different, so they have to learn how to fall differently than men, and
13:08I'm there to show them all that.
13:09You're going to hit your chest, girls, but it doesn't hurt.
13:12That's why your hands are bent and keeping you up from doing that.
13:15That's why I have you doing it this way.
13:17The guys, oh, I hate this bump.
13:20The guys, the guys do it this way.
13:24Oh, wait a minute.
13:25Or anyway, they do it one hand.
13:26They go, ah.
13:28And that isn't right for a girl.
13:32I know what a woman goes through.
13:33Guys cannot relate to that.
13:35So I'm, it's really good that I can understand all that.
13:38You've got to be tough when you're in here.
13:40You can't be a girly girl.
13:41Tori's a very, very girly girl.
13:43She's a very nice girl.
13:45She has a very sweet personality.
13:47Tori, Tori tries.
13:48Come on, Tori.
13:49Pick your feet up, Tori.
13:51Get up, get up.
13:51Ball backwards.
13:52Go.
13:54Stacy's the same way.
13:55She's a very girly girl.
13:58Paisley, she's a little more athletic, and she just, she has the neck.
14:03It's there.
14:04That's something you can't teach somebody.
14:06Either they have it or they don't.
14:08And she, and she has it.
14:10But there's no room for ego at the power plant.
14:12All of the girls have to work hard to get in shape for their shows in the Southwest.
14:19Hey, don't keep your hands to the side like that.
14:22You're going to pop your elbow.
14:23If somebody's out of control like that, whatever, get them back.
14:28Chop the s*** out of them.
14:29If you fall from a drop kick and you don't land right, you're going to break your arm.
14:34See, no pain, no gain.
14:36I just smashed it into the mat.
14:38With all this intense training, injuries are inevitable, and the women are constantly monitored.
14:44Front club, front club.
14:47Okay.
14:48You all right?
14:49Out of the ring.
14:50Five, six.
14:53I'm really tough.
15:00After determining that Tori was merely lightheaded, the doctor released her.
15:04But going home is not an option.
15:06With the show coming up in a matter of days, training is vital.
15:09That's my biggest problem, is if you get a little bump or you hurt, you know, so get up.
15:15You know, get over it.
15:16Everyone wants Tori.
15:18I'm going to do it wrong now that she said watch me.
15:20Despite the grueling schedule, emotional strain, and physical hardships, Medusa still feels these girls can be pushed harder.
15:28Two days a week is not nearly enough.
15:30It's not enough.
15:32Girls complain that that's too much.
15:33It's not.
15:34It takes years.
15:35And we should add another day, is what I feel.
15:38Ah, get your s*** up.
15:40Coming up, the girls hit the road for the upcoming Nitro show.
15:44Let's hope they're ready for the challenge.
15:46This is a typical day right here.
15:48Getting lost and not knowing where you're going.
15:50Where are we going?
15:51Why don't we turn around?
15:51Welcome back.
16:01You're watching the women of the WCW.
16:04I'm Todd Newton.
16:05Now, as you can probably imagine, it's a hard, lonely life on the road for women wrestlers.
16:09I mean, a different gym, different hall, a different mall every week.
16:15Right now, the girls are in Albuquerque.
16:16So, let's catch up with Tori, Paisley, and Miss Hancock.
16:20You know, just your typical girls next door.
16:23We've seen how women of the WCW are whipped into shape back at home base in Atlanta.
16:29But even when they're hopping from city to city and match to match, training doesn't stop.
16:34We're on the road for weeks at a time, and it's really hard to stay in good shape.
16:37You know, eating right and working out and everything.
16:39I have a membership at Powerhouse and Gold's at home, so I just, I have travel passes for those gyms.
16:44Weights are great, but on this rare day off in Albuquerque, Miss Hancock would rather lift shopping bags than barbells.
16:51Sometimes on my days off, like today, I come shopping.
16:55Okay, so tell me which ones you like better.
16:57These?
17:01I like the first pair.
17:03These.
17:03First ones.
17:03First ones?
17:04Okay.
17:04The hardest problem that I have is pants.
17:08Because there's only certain stores that have pants that are long enough.
17:11Because I'm 5'11", so it's tough sometimes.
17:15But I can just hold things up to me and tell if they're long enough or not at this point.
17:21Because that's why.
17:23Let's go look for some shoes.
17:25Because I have about 500 pairs of shoes, and I can always use that extra pair.
17:29Say, come on.
17:31These are cute.
17:32I might have to try these on.
17:34So nice.
17:36Okay.
17:39Oh, seven and a half.
17:41Hmm.
17:41I'll find something else, sorry.
17:42Okay, now come on.
17:52I know you have these, because these are winter.
17:54Do you have nines in these?
17:56What do you think?
17:58Those are nines.
17:59Aren't they cute?
18:02I wish I had your legs.
18:04While Miss Hancock enjoys a life of leisure.
18:20I'm trying to get my body to look like Tori.
18:22I'll be honest with you.
18:27I used to hate doing this, but I'll say about nine or ten months ago, I hired a personal trainer.
18:33And what's really cool about him is that he ties spirituality into your workouts.
18:38And so he really stresses, you know, the importance of your body being your temple.
18:43When I started lifting, I was competing in fitness competitions.
18:47So I was trying to build muscle, and then I got to a point where I thought I was too muscular, so.
18:54It was kind of hard trying to get rid of it.
18:56Hard day at the office.
18:57No, it's too late.
19:03It's like I made a commitment to myself, you know, and to my company.
19:06I just wanted to look the best and be the best that I could possibly be.
19:10It's a tough schedule for anybody.
19:12Not only just the, you know, the girls, guys, anybody that's in this business, it's tough.
19:16It's almost 24 hours a day, constantly.
19:19It's not the diet, but the conditioning, the training, the ring work, the travel.
19:24It's a full load.
19:26It is.
19:27The one I always listen to.
19:29Work this.
19:31It's a club workout.
19:33It's a mix.
19:34Most people only see the show part of it.
19:36So they see the glitz and the glamour, but they don't see all the hard work, the travel, the lack of sleep.
19:42When everybody's out eating cheesecake, I have to eat grilled chicken and broccoli.
19:50With barely an hour left before showtime, the hard bodies head to a local restaurant to refuel.
19:56We go to all these fast food restaurants and everything.
19:58It's so good.
19:59You're starving.
20:00You're so hungry.
20:00You're so hungry.
20:00You're so hungry.
20:00You're so hungry.
20:01You're so hungry.
20:01Or when you're like, like we get done to show sometimes on Monday at like 11 o'clock.
20:06Limited food, like fast food, you know, and what we can eat.
20:09So we have to cheat.
20:11Oh, no.
20:12I'm going to have the three-item combo with the green chili chicken soup.
20:20Can I have a steak taco?
20:23Yeah, I would do that.
20:24It's going to cost a little bit extra.
20:26Okay.
20:26Steak taco and a chicken and cheese enchilada.
20:31Well, for the record, since I don't see grilled chicken and broccoli, I'm going to have the steak today and have steak food chimichambo.
20:38I think I will have the fajita salad.
20:44Yeah, the chicken or cheese.
20:45Chicken with extra chicken.
20:48I do have 45 minutes of cardio in the stomach and then I come home and cook 45 scrambled egg whites and then I'll have some sort of carb.
20:56And then normally I'll take a nap, get up, drink a protein shake and then go lift weights.
21:00And then after that I may eat sushi or I'll just have like grilled chicken and steamed broccoli.
21:06And then for dinner I'll do the same thing again.
21:09Would you be like that as well?
21:11Not like that.
21:11No way.
21:12I would be killing everybody.
21:14I'd come to the shows with a knife.
21:17Speaking of the show, the women must get going.
21:20Tardiness can be costly.
21:21It is 26 minutes after 6.
21:25I'm just dropping them off.
21:26And if we are not checked in by 6.30 then we get fined a huge amount of money that Donna has agreed to pay for all of us.
21:36What now?
21:38If we're late, if we don't check in in four minutes you're paying our fine.
21:41That's why I just called Terry.
21:43Oh, okay.
21:43So we're covered, we're covered.
21:46We're called the boss man.
21:47This is all E's fault.
21:48This is all E's fault.
21:49Do you see what kind of trouble you get us into?
21:51This is a typical day right here.
21:54Getting lost and not knowing where we're going.
21:55Where are we going?
21:56Why don't we turn around?
21:57Alright, three minutes.
21:59Mission impossible.
22:00That's what I'm saying, Russell.
22:02Alright, a minute and a half.
22:04Stop the car, we're getting out.
22:06Get out.
22:07We're breaking out of here.
22:08Everything in.
22:10I'm just going to take a look.
22:11That's the most important thing.
22:11It has the book bag.
22:12Okay.
22:13When we return, fur flies at the house show.
22:17Ah!
22:17Two, three, come on.
22:32Four, oh, team.
22:34Hey, welcome back to the women of the WCW.
22:37Now, many of you know that I've been training for wrestling greatness for years now.
22:41I probably don't have to remind you of my villainous character, Sleazy E.
22:45He's a fan favorite.
22:46And believe me, I know what it's like when your wrestling alter ego takes over.
22:50And that is exactly what's going to happen tonight when our girls hit the ring in Albuquerque.
22:55Take a look at this.
22:5936, 39.
23:02After scrambling to arrive at the arena on time, the WCW's lady wrestlers are ready to throw
23:09down at tonight's un-televised house show.
23:13Now, it's show time.
23:16The house show is a little bit more laid back.
23:18We come in about an hour before the show starts.
23:22We, you know, stretch out, do whatever we have to do.
23:24We do the show.
23:25It's a lot more laid back.
23:26You don't have the pressure of the cameras and everything.
23:29You get to have a little bit more fun.
23:31The house show, really, that's when a lot of people practice new things and, you know,
23:35really try stuff out because the crowd is smaller.
23:38You don't have to worry about a TV catching something, you know, that you did wrong or whatever.
23:43So, really, there's a lot less pressure during the house shows, and it's just a good time.
23:48I'm going out as David Flair's ballet because since I can't get gold myself, I have to pick
23:54on little boys to get it for me.
23:56I'll be out there rooting him on, and if anybody tries to get in my way, you'll see some action
24:02from Ms. Hancock.
24:03I haven't been on TV lately.
24:05That's because her and I are having a baby.
24:13So, tonight, I don't feel like wrestling because I'm so happy that I'm having a baby
24:19because, hey, I'm trying to tell you people that I'm a lover, not a fighter.
24:30I'm out of here.
24:31He's wrestling general erection, and he has this little ballet of major guns, so you never
24:47know what could happen.
24:49Major guns had to get in the way and try to start with me, but that's when I'll do anything
24:55I think I have to, to, you know, get out of trouble or start the trouble.
24:59Oh, fuck your mouth!
25:01Get out of here!
25:02Get out of here!
25:03Well, did she know that she can't touch me because I'm with child right now.
25:08So the breath made her leave.
25:14So then I got to help out David Flair a little bit more, and I thought he was going to win,
25:18but he didn't, so he disappointed me once again.
25:29I'm nervous because I've been with E all day, so I don't know what I'm doing,
25:32but I'm just getting ready to go out there and, well, Puiwi will take care of me.
25:36My baby loves me.
25:39Puiwi started out as a wardrobe person, but he sort of has this Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde personality,
25:46so if you get him really, really upset, he snaps, you know, like the Incredible Hulk,
25:51and he just goes ballistic.
25:53And so that's when, you know, I'll have to step in sometimes and finish off his opponent.
25:58So I had to rush in the ring, of course, and grab Primetime's hand,
26:01because I'm not going to allow him to hit Puiwi.
26:07Then he starts coming after me, telling me that I need to get with a real man,
26:11as if, you know, Puiwi can't satisfy me or something, and that really upset me.
26:15So then I just had to turn into this banshee and haul off and smack him, you know?
26:26And before you know it, it's out of the ring and back on the road again.
26:30These brawling beauties must now endure a four-hour trek to Las Cruces, New Mexico,
26:34for tomorrow night's Monday Nitro.
26:36Bye, Albuquerque.
26:38We loved you.
26:39See ya.
26:40But we're moving on now.
26:41We need lots of candy.
26:42We need to go get some candy.
26:43And some magazines.
26:50We need our sugar to keep us up for four hours.
26:56Oh, shoot.
26:57We don't eat like this.
26:58Oh, shoot.
26:59We don't eat like this.
27:00Never mind.
27:01Okay.
27:02Quick bathroom break.
27:08So which wrestlers are you?
27:09You're supposed to know who we are.
27:12Guess who we are.
27:13I'm going to clothesline you right now.
27:15Oh, you're going to clothesline you?
27:17Yes.
27:18We're going to turn on the radio and sing.
27:20When we get tired of singing, we'll eat our candy.
27:23I'm going to let you sing.
27:25Coming up, hit the map with the sexy Nitro Girls.
27:44Welcome back to the women of the WCW, everybody.
27:47I'm Todd Newton.
27:48But through the magic of theatrical makeup,
27:50in just a couple minutes,
27:51I will be completely transformed into my wrestling alter ego,
27:54Sleazy-E.
27:55And the more makeup Natalie here applies to my face,
27:58the more I really feel like taking somebody on.
28:00Somebody big.
28:01Not one of those frail women wrestlers.
28:03What are you calling frail, Newton?
28:05Whoa!
28:06Madeja from the WCW.
28:08I just meant somebody...
28:09No, what I meant was...
28:12I tell you what...
28:14Oh!
28:15While you guys...
28:16I'll take care of Madeja and you take care of the Nitro Girls.
28:19Oh!
28:20Oh!
28:21Hi!
28:22We're the Nitro Girls.
28:23And you're watching the women of WCW on E!
28:27Yeah!
28:28Woo!
28:29World Championship wrestlers Tori, Paisley, and Miss Hancock
28:33have finally arrived in Las Cruces, New Mexico
28:35for the week's live Nitro event.
28:37I ate candy for the first 15 minutes.
28:39And then I fell asleep.
28:41I think Paisley did the same thing.
28:43We drove and we got in around 1.30 in the morning.
28:46Got some sleep.
28:47We had to be here at the building by 12 o'clock.
28:49Despite the wear and tear of travel,
28:51these ladies have to look like a million bucks tonight
28:54before a huge national audience.
28:56These highly rated Nitro shows are broadcast live on Monday nights.
29:00And they're no small events.
29:04We start production at 6 in the morning.
29:06And say the show starts at 7 o'clock,
29:09usually we're still setting up just about 30 minutes before the show starts.
29:15The techies aren't the only ones prepping for tonight's extravaganza.
29:18Well, the crowd loves the Nitro Girls
29:20because you see all these wrestlers,
29:22you see all these intense matches,
29:24and then all of a sudden you have the eye candy here.
29:26You have these women who are beautiful
29:28and these, you know, wonderful outfits,
29:30you know, like showgirl type outfits.
29:32And they're out there dancing, doing hip-hop routines, jazz routines.
29:36My real name is Chiquita, like the banana,
29:38and I am a Nitro Girls.
29:40The Nitro Girls were just like in-house entertainment, basically.
29:44We come out in between the matches and we do short dance routines.
29:49It's nice for a little diversion, you know,
29:51to see sexy women come out and do their job, do our little dance.
29:59My name is Alto Gary,
30:01and I am the choreographer and manager for the Nitro Girls.
30:10Kimberly Page, she was actually the founder of the Nitro Girls and the manager.
30:15And so she wanted to be more into a character role with her husband, DDP.
30:19And she gave me a call.
30:20I danced with Atlanta Hawks,
30:21and I was coaching for the Charlotte Hornets.
30:24And, you know, things we do here,
30:25we could never, ever do in any NBA court.
30:33One good thing about Alto is that she sees our own unique talents,
30:37and she incorporates it into the dances.
30:44I have five Nitro Girls.
30:45Chae, she's our last original Nitro Girl.
30:47Her little gimmick is she likes leather and vinyl and studs.
30:53It's kind of that Harley Davidson look.
30:55I've been doing this for three years,
30:56and I think I can do it for three more because of the dance.
31:01It's been a great experience.
31:03I love it.
31:06Good looking.
31:09And then we have Baby.
31:10She's the blonde.
31:11And Baby, when you see Baby, and you hear Baby speak,
31:14you just like Baby,
31:15because she has a high-pitched voice,
31:16and she's .
31:18I can never get into a bar without being carded,
31:20so I essentially fit the name Baby.
31:24If you really want to see the girls get loose,
31:25let me hear you say,
31:26aww!
31:29Well, if I lose my ID,
31:31which I seem to do quite often,
31:32it seems to work a little bit,
31:34you know, if you wear something a little bit more risque, so.
31:37Then we have Chiquita.
31:38Chiquita, actually her name is Chiquita,
31:40so when I hired her I was like,
31:41you know, if you can keep your name,
31:42because your name is original,
31:44and she has this great booty shape.
31:49What I do is I just come on stage,
31:51give them everything.
31:53We come out there,
31:54they want to see good dancing,
31:56they want to see little teenage.
31:58Siren is my redhead,
32:00and her gimmick is like emergency service outfits.
32:05We have a police handcuff dance,
32:07which we'll do tonight.
32:15Siren, she kept her little play handcuffs
32:19and a little white pouch,
32:21and so you know how to go to the airport
32:22and you have to go through the metal detector.
32:24And, you know, they stopped her,
32:26and they're like, can you look in this?
32:27And they pull them out,
32:28you know, in front of everybody,
32:29and they're like, you can't take these on the plane.
32:31And she's like, oh, I had to use this for a show.
32:32Oh, ooh, you know,
32:34everybody's looking at her,
32:35thinking she's some hooker or something,
32:37and she was just like, just keep them.
32:38She was so embarrassed.
32:39She's real shy.
32:40So I had to go buy her some new ones.
32:43And Star, Star is from Vegas,
32:46and she just has this elegant demeanor
32:48about herself naturally.
32:50I used to work with James Brown for five years,
32:52and one of the girls, his name's Sherry here,
32:54Sharmel, used to work with me there
32:56and recommended me here,
32:57so I flew out and auditioned.
33:02In the past couple months,
33:04a lot of the Nitro girls went on to be characters,
33:06but the group I have now,
33:08they just want to be dancers.
33:09So I was like, okay, am I hiring dancers
33:11or am I hiring wrestlers?
33:12So, you know, we got to the point
33:13where it's just dancers.
33:15I would give it a shot and give it a try.
33:17I definitely wouldn't turn it down.
33:19I always keep an open mind
33:21for everything that I do.
33:22I'm training for fitness,
33:23but that's about it.
33:24Everybody thinks I'm everything else
33:26except for a dancer, so.
33:27It would be a good wrestler.
33:28You've got to have some good smack going on.
33:30And she's got the mouth on her,
33:31so she's definitely probably going to have her teacher.
33:34I don't know if she's going to kill me.
33:36I love being a performer.
33:37I love dancing.
33:38And dance is my life,
33:39and I'm going to dance until I cannot dance anymore.
33:42No argument here.
33:43When we return,
33:44the women of the WCW duke it out with the big boys.
33:48And the fans eat it up.
33:50Guys like girls fighting.
33:51It's just, you know,
33:52we're still like the cavemen.
33:54Welcome back to the women of the WCW.
34:05I'm Todd Newton, better known as Sleazy E.
34:07And I tell you what,
34:08our girls are on their way to Las Cruces, New Mexico
34:10for a live Nitro event.
34:12And while they're there,
34:13I'm going to put pro wrestler Medesia to shame
34:15with a little good old-fashioned arm wrestling.
34:17You ready to go to school here?
34:18Come on, Todd.
34:19Count it off.
34:20Uno, dos, tres, go!
34:21Here we go.
34:22That's it.
34:23You feeling the wrath, huh?
34:24Oh, she doesn't like that at all.
34:26I tell you what,
34:27the girls are all jazzed up for the main event
34:30down in New Mexico.
34:31Watch this.
34:32Ah!
34:33Oh!
34:34Okay, that's it.
34:35You want to play like that?
34:36Rematch time!
34:38The fans have arrived in Las Cruces, New Mexico
34:41for tonight's live Nitro,
34:43which will be seen by millions on Ted Turner's TNT Network.
34:46Do you guys have a favorite female wrestler?
34:48Who's a female wrestler?
34:49Who's a female wrestler?
34:50Who's a female wrestler?
34:51Who's a female wrestler?
34:52Daphne.
34:53Daphne.
34:54Daphne, Tigress.
34:55You know.
34:56Girl Hunt.
34:57Yeah.
34:58Girl Hunt.
34:59Medusa.
35:00I love that.
35:01I just like her.
35:02She wrestles.
35:03She doesn't just fight like a girl.
35:04She wrestles.
35:05I like her a lot.
35:06Nitro is a more upscale production than a house show.
35:10The crowd is a lot more energized.
35:11People know they're on TV,
35:12so they're going crazy.
35:13But that's good.
35:14Get on your feet, Las Cruces!
35:16Let's go!
35:17We're coming alive!
35:24Please, please!
35:26There are several other factors that you have to worry about,
35:29whether it's pyro or a cameraman, you know,
35:33right in front of you.
35:34When you just really want to get out there and attack somebody,
35:36you have to worry about where the cameras are,
35:38and, you know, all these other different factors come into play.
35:41It's more of a spectacle on Monday night, you know.
35:44It's a lot more, you know, exciting.
35:46The arenas are a lot bigger.
35:47The nerves are a lot higher because the crowds are so much bigger.
35:51I have to say that the first couple times that I went out,
35:57it was all new to me.
35:59So I didn't know what to expect.
36:00I didn't know how the crowd was going to react.
36:02They really didn't know me.
36:03Oh, here we go!
36:04That's the first piece of television!
36:06Yes!
36:07Now, I can't wait to go out there.
36:09Like, I just, I love it.
36:10It is.
36:11It's such a rush, and the crowds just, they're so nice.
36:14They're great fans.
36:15She's great.
36:16She's gorgeous.
36:17She's got the legs.
36:18Beautiful, young.
36:19Yeah.
36:20She's great.
36:21It's so exciting to know that all those people are watching you,
36:24and, you know, if you screw up, you can't go back.
36:27It's a weird feeling.
36:28It's indescribable, really.
36:29It's just a rush.
36:34I come out with the franchise Shane Douglas.
36:36He is very evil.
36:38He cheats to win.
36:39This is the third guy that I've been through in the year and a half of the company.
36:45So I am the slut of the company.
36:50No, um, no, it's fun.
36:53How you like me now, WCWF?
36:56Well, for 19 years I've been in this sport, and I've looked at a whole bunch of sweaty
37:01men for 19 years, 365 days a year.
37:04I think it's kind of refreshing to take a look at some of the pretty women here.
37:07They bring a whole new aspect of the sport, an aspect that we can bring.
37:10I mean, I'm good-looking, but not as good-looking as, say, Tori is.
37:13Tori asked for all of this.
37:15Tori, wait a minute, Tori!
37:16Oh, man!
37:17Oh, boy, Daphne hit very hard.
37:18Oh!
37:19And look at Tori's fire back!
37:20Look at this yak fight!
37:21Oh, my God!
37:23Wrestling right now is sports entertainment.
37:26We're out there to entertain people to tell a story, but as you can see, we're out there
37:30and we're sweating and we're running around and we're being visible.
37:32So, it's a sport.
37:33You need to know your traits.
37:34You need to be taught properly.
37:35Wrestling, they don't know how to wrestle.
37:37You know?
37:38It's obviously not physically gifted as men, which is a known fact, right?
37:44But a cat fight, I think everybody wants to see a good cat fight.
37:47A little TNA.
37:48Just ask the fans.
37:50It's the cat fight, you know?
37:51It's the erotic appeal.
37:54They're women.
37:55They're hot.
37:56The guys want to see good girls wrestle.
37:58I guess for guys, they like it because they see two girls fight, you know?
38:01Stuff like that.
38:02But I personally, I think some of the girls can do a lot better moves than the guys.
38:06Right in the jaw that time.
38:08And look at Tigris.
38:09One, two.
38:10Tigris wins right away!
38:12It's very real.
38:13When I started at the power plant, I didn't realize the awesome responsibility that you have
38:19as a wrestler because you literally have someone else's life in your hands.
38:23It's very, very serious.
38:25And one wrong move, you know, you never know what can happen in the ring.
38:29One of my war stories, I don't want to make her feel bad or nothing because she's a real sweetheart.
38:34She really is.
38:35But me and Paisley, we were going to have a match one night.
38:38And we were in the ring.
38:39We were going over what we were going to do.
38:41And one of her moves was a flip.
38:43And she did a flip and she ended up landing with both feet in my chest.
38:48So that was kind of sore.
38:50So I ended up getting rushed to the hospital.
38:52She called me about five, six times.
38:54She was so concerned.
38:55But I'm okay.
38:56Everything turned out all right.
38:58I can't complain about nothing.
38:59I really can't.
39:00So, I mean, I could be flipping hamburgers for a living or something like that.
39:05When we return, an old rival crashes Miss Hancock's wedding.
39:09Oh, ho!
39:11And Medesha teaches me, I mean, sleazy Eve, how to fight like a girl.
39:16Oh, oh, oh.
39:17How do you like that?
39:18Oh, oh, oh.
39:20Oh, oh, oh, oh.
39:23Oh, oh, oh.
39:25Oh, oh, oh.
39:28Oh, oh, oh.
39:29As the WCW Live Nitro continues, Miss Hancock's wedding to David Flair is painfully interrupted
39:35by his crazed ex-girlfriend Daphne.
39:37Oh, guys.
39:38He's ruined.
39:39And it's on.
39:40The wedding gown challenge is on.
39:43My character is, like, psychotic.
39:45And she's like, they call her the screamer.
39:47And she just kind of runs around and just screams.
39:49You know, I don't think Daphne wants David Flair back.
39:54I think she's had it.
39:55She just wants to beat up the woman that stole her from it.
39:58She's fighting here, Scott, with emotion.
40:01With a roll.
40:02Very near the tape.
40:03Hang on.
40:04Uh-oh.
40:05Oh, oh, oh.
40:06If they get frosting on them, my God, I'm already excited beyond belief.
40:09It makes me so mad.
40:10It just makes me want to scream.
40:13It's a paycheck right there.
40:20What does he think?
40:21Women in lingerie slapping men.
40:23This is unbelievable.
40:24Oh, no.
40:25Mark Johnson believes it.
40:28Wow.
40:29Yikes.
40:30Do you notice how easily stupid about that?
40:33Oh.
40:34Oh, David Flair.
40:36We're seeing a lot more than we bargained for.
40:38Wedding gowns.
40:39No.
40:40Oh, and I want to tell you, men without .
40:42Stop .
40:43What?
40:44I'm sorry.
40:45That was a free shot.
40:46And now she's making her look.
40:48Oh, please.
40:50They're not even married.
40:51Size advantage.
40:53Oh, she's very agile as well.
40:55A hedge.
40:56Though Miss Hancock finally gets the upper hand.
40:58Oh.
40:59Now there's a great move.
41:00Paisley's bout doesn't go quite as well.
41:03He's got a scoop slap.
41:04Paisley.
41:05Oh.
41:06Teamwork here.
41:07Oh.
41:08Oh, boy.
41:09Paisley's still down.
41:10How about that?
41:11How about that?
41:12Get a load on that one.
41:13Kids, please do not try this at home.
41:15I mean, those promos that the wrestlers cut when they say leave the wrestling to the wrestlers
41:20is really, really true.
41:21I mean, I have torn cartilage in my ribs.
41:23I've hyperextended my arm and I still have to go out there and work.
41:26I mean, and these are just minor things.
41:28You know, I stuck my toe on the mat and it was black and blue for a week.
41:31I couldn't believe it.
41:32You know, that's just my toe.
41:34Oh, aren't they nice ladies there in the WCW, huh?
41:37But it's still hard for a wrestler like me, Sleazy-E, to believe that they're all that
41:41tough.
41:42And when I say things like that, it tends to ruffle the feathers of our friend Madasia here,
41:45who claims that she's got a little point to prove.
41:47You want to play with the big boy?
41:48Come on, Cheesy-E.
41:49Let's go, Cheesy-E.
41:50Okay.
41:51Yeah.
41:52Whoa.
41:53Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
41:54Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
41:55How do you like that?
41:56Oh, I like that just fine.
41:57How do you like this?
41:58Huh?
41:59Yeah, now who you play with?
42:00Oh.
42:01Oh, okay.
42:02All right.
42:03Let me dust myself off.
42:04Are you ready to play some more?
42:05Oh.
42:06Okay.
42:07All right.
42:08That was a good one.
42:09Okay.
42:10That's all the time we have for the women of WCW.
42:12Had it up, Todd?
42:13Yeah.
42:14You're just lucky we're out of time, sweetie.
42:15That's all I got.
42:16Oh.
42:17How was that?
42:19Roll those credits.
