Madusa’s tenure in WWE during the early 1990s saw her brought in to rejuvenate the women’s division. Notably, it was WWE legend Greg Valentine who was vocal in getting her signed, praising her athleticism and potential impact on the wrestling scene. However, her departure from WWE came unexpectedly, despite her still holding the championship title. Madusa attributes her release to Vince McMahon’s tumultuous period dealing with the steroid scandal, IRS issues, and the need to downsize — leading to abrupt decisions regarding talent. Eventually, she found further fame by driving a monster truck named “Madusa” in shows and rallies.
