Quote :

Hell has frozen over. Wendi Richter is the newest inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame. Deserving choice, but as the victim of the original screwjob I never thought I'd see the day

I'm happy for her, super happy. Her matches against Madusa, lelani Kai, Judy Martin, Peggy Lee have all been amazing. Even her matches Moolah, despite the screw job.

Scrw brett hart , Wendi got the ultimate screw job and sucks for her man.

Congrats to Wendi Ritcher she really deserves it

Richter hun...not Ritcher

I dont know much about her but she was the original Trish in a way, extremely popular and would have likely had more title reigns. I'm glad she is finally getting the respect she deserves. I wonder if she is still in shape for a short term return to the ring? That'd be sweet!



CONGRATS WENDY!

she did a reunion match a couple years back and she's taking good care of herself. i'd say she could wrestle if she wanted to

Kev I almost fell out of my bed when WWE announced her, seriously. I am sooooooooooooo happy for her!! So happy

But it's doubtfull to see her in a WWE ring ever again. That was a major screw job, just because of contract issues. It was a horrible thing to do. Word has it, she just walked the arena, in wrestling attire and all and booked the first flight home and never spoke to Vince McMahon ever again.

What did they do to her?

Vince McMahon, the king of screwjobs

Because i'm too lazy to write....here is how the original screwjob went down

The Original Screwjob
In 1985, after losing and then regaining the title from rival Leilani Kai at the inaugural WrestleMania, Richter was scheduled to defend her women's title at Madison Square Garden on November 25 of that same year against a mysterious masked opponent known only as The Spider Lady. Moments into the match, The Spider Lady broke from the pre-scripted events and pinned Richter's shoulders to the mat. The referee—who was in on the plan—delivered a swift three count, despite Richter kicking out after a count of one.[ Richter ignored the bell and continued to attack the Spider, unmasking the new champion to reveal that it was The Fabulous Moolah in disguise.

It was reported that the plan to rid Richter of the title was concocted by WWF Chairman Vince McMahon, who brought in Moolah after Richter refused to sign a new contract with the WWF. Richter, however, claims she was still under her original five year contract, but that she regularly had disagreements with McMahon about her compensation. She also claims that when she arrived at the arena that day, she was surprised to find Moollah backstage, as she never showed up to events for which she was not scheduled to wrestle. After the match, an infuriated Richter left the arena in her wrestling gear, took a cab to the airport, and booked herself on a flight out of New York Afterward, she never spoke to either McMahon or Moolah again.
