Anyone remember Miss Elizabeth? http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm...u=/ap/20030801/ap_on_re_us/brf_miss_elizabeth Wrestling Personality Died From Overdose 1 hour, 56 minutes ago Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo! MARIETTA, Ga. - The death of the wrestling personality known as "Miss Elizabeth" was a result of an accidental overdose of pills and alcohol, Cobb County officials said. Elizabeth Hulette, 42, had a blood alcohol level of 0.29 and a mix of painkillers, nausea medication and tranquilizers in her system when she died April 30, coroner's officials said Thursday. Hulette shared a home with wrestler Lex Luger, whose real name is Lawrence Pfohl. Pfohl was arrested and charged with 13 counts of possession of a controlled substance and a count of distribution of dangerous drugs the day of Hulette's death. Hulette had been married to former wrestler Randy "The Macho Man" Savage, and was his manager before they divorced in 1992. She and Savage became popular personalities in the World Wrestling Federation, which they entered in 1985. Hulette also had managed pro wrestler Hulk Hogan, as well as Pfohl.
I know this has nothing to do with the thread, but I sat next to Terry Funk and his wife (?) on a flight from Houston to Dallas a few days ago. I didn't know who he was until everybody was getting off the plane in Dallas. He was on the row in front of mine and on the opposite side of the plane. He turned around and kneeled in the seat while waiting for everybody in front of us to get off. He was joking with the people behind him. I said "I know that face, but I'm not sure from where..." He was also wearing a hat and had his hair in a ponytail. Then he asked a question to the lady sitting next to me. I kind of glanced down at her hands and noticed she was holding a large US Mail envelope. I leaned forward slowly and noticed the name on the envelope "Terry Funk". That's when it clicked... I wanted to say "hi" to him and say I watched him RASSLE when I was a kid and grew up watching him in some of the most vicious matches ever. I decided not to bug him, however. I wish he had sat next to me... would've been some great conversation about Paul Boesch, Dory Funk, and the glory years of RASSLIN. Oh well... there ya go.
