The Wrestling World remember's Miss Elizabeth JM: You were a big fan of pro wrestling growing up, who were some of your favorites & influence in Wrestling? Noel Harlow: Sherri Martel was a big influence on me as a child, as well as Miss Elizabeth. Later on Luna Vachon. ---Noel Harlow has been a Indy Valet since 2002  John Mikels: Were you ever a fan of Pro wrestling growing up, if yes, who were some of your favorites? Melissa Coates: Yes definitely was a fan...I watched women's matches on TV when I was growing up, honestly didn’t study hard enough to know their names but I am sure Madusa Micelli and Wendi Richter were 2 of the girls I admired. Then I really got into the Hulk Hogan/Miss Elizabeth/Randy Savage love triangle during the early/mid 90s,...being a girl, you know, gotta love that love story and the knight on the white horse! Absolutely loved it, and of course Hulk's image was amazing, tan, muscular, blonde hair. And admirable and ethical as well. His image also fed into my love for bodybuilding. I am a professional bodybuilder. I did pro bodybuilding first and was ranked 9th in the world at one time, did the Olympia twice (which is the Wrestlemania of Women's pro bodybuilding). I’ve also been very successful as a fitness model - been featured in all the fitness mags, in calendars, swimsuit videos, centerfolds, posters, and covers and training articles of Muscle&Fitness, Flex Magazine, Ironman, Muscular Development, MuscleMag (which also launched the career of Trish Stratus and Torrie Wilson) among others. Books as well, sociology oddly enough lol and fitness books. ---Melissa Coates has been a Indy Wrestler since 2002  John Mikels: Were you a fan of pro wrestling growing up and if so who were some of your favorites? Brittany Force: I was, I loved Brutus the barber beefcake, miss Elizabeth, roddy piper and Ricky the dragon steamboat. ---Brittany Force has been an Indy Wrestler since 2006  Justin Ryan: Also Tales From The Cemetery On The Hill Dale Pierce: Yes at http://www.lulu.com/content/5099181! which has a very dark tale called They’re Tearing Down Joe Finn’s Arena, about a former wrestler with a load of baggage on his mind, including killing a man in the ring. Justin Ryan: Dale’s Tales Dale Pierce: Loads of reflections and stories from my life and a good number of wrestling material at http://www.lulu.com/content/8243544!

Damian Collti: I have a Wrestling Chat Forum too. Well I’ve always enjoyed Classic WWF Wrestling in the 80s, and a little bit later in WCW and ECW. I used to really enjoy watching “Saturday Night’s Main Event” with my friends back then. Randy “Macho Man” Savage was my favorite Wrestler ever….”Ohhh Yeahhh”. Randy Savage an Elizabeth were great together. My main website has a lot of great Classic Pictures, Wrestling Polls, and Wrestling information. I actually first made the website when I broke my ankle (ruptured and torn ligaments too) and knew I was going to be bed ridden for a few months and not playing basketball for a while so I needed something to do, so I decided to make the Wrestling site, lol. Both websites have been doing well and have been up and running for over 2 years now. John Mikels: What do you think of my website (www.Mikels.cjb.net) and what is the best feature you like to go on? Damian Collti: Well it’s a really nice and complete Wrestling website (and recently added film section). You really have every angle of the sport covered which I like. You really surprised me with how many Wrestler interviews you’ve done. Some big Wrestling names and Wrestlers I’ve been a fan of like: The Honky Tonk Man, “Leaping” Lanny Poffo, J.J. Dillon, Paul Bearer, Hollywood, and Nicole Bass for example. I think it’s really cool that you had an Elizabeth Tribute for the 5 Year Anniversary of your website too. Gotta respect that and a great idea. Cool you have a message board as well. Looks like a fun and interesting site all around. ---Damian Cotti has been a indy Ring Announcer since 2007 Nora Greenwald
John Mikels: Miss Elizabeth Nora Greenwald: Beautiful ---- Nora Greenwald worked with Miss Elizabeth in WCW between 1999-2000 and also a former Manager of her EX Husband Macho Man Randy Savage Gorgeous George
John Mikels: Miss Elizabeth George Frankenstein: She was Okay with me, very pretty lady John Mikels: There Has been reports of how Randy Savage was very over protective of you the same way he was when he was with Miss Elizabeth when they were together and even rumors that Hulk Hogan had a part in the situation, could you clear up the rumors? George Frankenstein: Hogan had no part in me and randy breaking up.. that was false.. we didn't even hang out with him during this time... but yes it is true he was over protective of me and treated me just like he did with Elizabeth.. JM: I remember reading the WCW Magazine and there was mentioned of a possible feud between you and Randy against Luger and Elizabeth, was there any talks of a storyline? George Frankenstein: No Talks, there was no fighting or anything between us... Luger and Randy were actually friends during the time we were all in WCW... ---- George Frankenstein worked with Miss Elizabeth in WCW in 1999 and also was the former girlfriend and manager of her EX Husband Macho Man Randy Savage
Chastity John Mikels: I thought This was an Interesting question to ask since you worked with both Miss Elizabeth in WCW and Missy Hyatt in XPW and was wondering who in your opinion is the first lady of wrestling between the two? Chastity: lol...okay...You are asking me to choose between two friends of mine. I would have to say both served terms...Miss Elizabeth....Republican and Missy...Democrat. LOL ----Chastity worked with Miss Elizabeth in WCW in 1999 So Cal Val John Mikels: Your in a current storyline with Jay Lethal which the storyline is similar to Macho Man & Miss Elizabeth back in the early 90s.. Has there been any heat from the fans or workers for reacting a storyline that once was popular in the WWE? SO CAL VAL: Not at all. I think everyone understands that Jay and I are huge fans of Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth and what we're doing should be seen more as a tribute than a spoof. Though our segments are often humorous, we respect and admire both people and have always considered them to be inspirations in our careers. ---So Cal Val is a TNA Knockout since 2005 and has worked for her EX Husband Macho Man Randy Savage's official website Candie John Mikels: In our last Interview years ago..I remember you mentioning Miss Elizabeth as your Idol..What are your thoughts on her death and do you have a favorite memory of her? Candie: On the day she died, all of my friends were calling me and leaving me voice mails asking if I was ok. I had no idea what they were talking about. When I heard the news, it was so sad. I would have liked to have met her once. My most vivid memory of her is the Saturday Night Main Event when the "Mega Powers" broke up. When she took that bump, and then Savage and Hogan started fighting, (remember, I was very young then) I was sure that it was all real and I hated Hogan for coming between Savage and Elizabeth. I still think if he hadn't had "lust in his eyes" then she might still be here today.... (only joking, of course). ---Candie is an Indy Valet and wrestler since 1999 "Hard-core Cowgirl" Alexandra John Mikels: Miss Elizabeth? Alexandra Burton: Beautiful, quiet, embracing ----Alexandra has been an Indy Valet, Wrestler, & Booker since 2000 Julie Hart John Mikels: I read an Interview with Jade awhile back that your Daughter Jade was inspired by Miss Elizabeth to one day be a Valet in pro wrestling ... what was your thoughts on her death a few years back that ended in tragedy? Julie Hart: Jade, and my son Dallas, along with his friend Mike Byers, had a tag team which they called themselves, 'Thunder and Lightening.' Jade would put on her shiny party dress and pretend she was Miss Elizabeth. It was funny how she had Miss Elizabeth's mannerism down to a "T". They boys would have a match, while Jade would go back and forth cheering for her brother, and then race over to Mike. Jade was very fond of Liz and whenever Bret took her on the road with him Liz would baby sit her. Liz was a gentle and sweet spirit and we miss her very much. ---Julie Hart is a former Wife of Bret "The Hitman" Hart who at one point worked with Miss Elizabeth in the WWF & WCW Velvet Sky John Mikels: How did you get into wrestling? Velvet Sky: I've always liked wrestling as far back as I can remember. My dad is the one who got me into wrestling...he would always try and make me watch it with him. It took a while, but I got into it and ever since then I've been hooked. I used to love watching "Macho Man" with Miss Elizabeth (RIP). He was my favorite. To this day I love wrestling. I started training in November of 2001. I used to drive up to Chicopee, MA. (which is about an hour from my house) three to four times a week to train with some friends at Kevin Landry's ring. Then, one day, we went to train at former-ECW star Jason Knight's "House of Pain Pro Wrestling Dojo" where Jason saw me working in the ring. He liked me, so he asked me to come train with him and his students on a regular basis. Jason has helped me out tremendously! He's a great trainer. ---Velvet Sky has been a TNA Knock-out since 2007 Vovonna John Mikels: Who do you admire in wrestling? Yvonna Leach: Well I have to say for managers I have to look at the late Sensational Sherri and Miss Elizabeth, we would not be here if not for them. ---Yovnna Leach has been an Indy Manager since 2003
Lanny Poffo
 Miss Elizabeth was a beautiful woman, inside and out. She will always be remembered fondly by me and every member of my family. She was too good of a person to die in such a way. --Lanny Poffo is the former Brother in Law of Miss Elizabeth from 1984 -1992 and also worked with her in the WWF from 1985-1992 Daffney Miss Elizabeth was a legend. I think she deserves to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. She was such a genuinely kind person and is terribly missed... --Daff ---Daffney has worked with Miss Elizabeth in WCW between 1999-2000 and wrestled her in Lizz's First Official match Leilani Kai Liz was a nice lady and we used to go shopping in the late 80's in New York before going to a show. Randy must be crushed they were always close. she will be missed by many she was close too. I know she's looking down with a smile from heaven.
(O: love you liz, ---Leilani Kai worked with Miss Elizabeth in the WWF between 1985-1988 and in WCW IN 1999
