For the benefit of us non Americans here- who was she? What happened to her?

She was a performer in professional wrestling. Her act was with her husband Randy Savage. She'd wear elaborate evening dresses and was often the "damsel in distress". Her husband was controlling and possessive. She left him for another wrestler named Lex Luger. Lex had a bad drug problem. She and Lex spiraled into addiction together and she ended up dying from an overdose.

I had no idea....my memory of her, is being distraught over the fight with ricky the dragon steamboat and the bell to ricky's throat. I hated randy for fighting dirty like that, lol....i thought it was all real.

This is how I find out that not only is she dead, but she's been dead for over 20 years.

I remind myself once in a while that my mom cried at the Macho Man Elizabeth wedding during Wrestlemania. I am going to call and remind her.

Man, fuck Lex Luger...

He was arrested twice in the month before her death. He killed her.
Ryuujin_13@reddit
And was arrested after her death for having ALL the drugs at his house that she OD'd on. Beat her, gave her the drugs, bought her the booze, and never helped her because he was high as well. What a piece of shit.

Hey, he found God and tweets a Bible verse each morning, he's paid his debt!

Play wrestling with my brother and cousins while I was a kid, we'd pretend to be one of the WWF stars. I always wanted to be Miss Elizabeth, and I'm a guy!
Of course they were always like, "what the hell?", but Miss Elizabeth was always very cool. And in turn, so was I! Lol

When she saved Macho Man from Sherri at WM7, that was amazing.

Core memory. I stopped watching wrestling in the late 90s, but this era of wrestling will always hold a special place in my childhood.

I've always said Elizabeth Shue was my first crush but now you have me second guessing which Elizabeth it actually was.
IceSmiley@reddit
My grandfather hired her and Macho Man to come to my 8th birthday party and it was amazing! She gave me a kiss on the cheek š
