Wendi became the face of WWE's women's division in the 1980s when she joined forces with mega pop star Cindi Lauper as part of the Rock and Wrestling Connection.

The young starlet the success go to her head. As the time ran out on her contract, she held the WWE women's title hostage and demanded more money among other things, refusing to drop the title to any other competitor.

The WWE turned to Fabulous Moolah, who donned a mask and did a 'shoot' match with Wendi, actually wrestling the champion to the mat and pinning her legit. Wendi's hardcore blackmail tactics ensured that she would never hold a major title in any promotion again.
