10 Forgotten WCW Wrestlers You Totally Don't Remember

Women's wrestling was never something WCW did particularly well. In fairness, women's wrestling was never something the wrestling industry in North America did well generally throughout the 1990s. If you wanted awesome female grappling, then Japan was the place to go, and the quality even varied there.

That's why it won't be surprising if literally no-one recalls Little Jeannie.

She'd started training to wrestle in 1996, took her in-ring bow in 1998, then signed on for a few WCW appearances between 1999-2000. That, inarguably, was the worst possible time to join the company. Jeannie's one and only Nitro performance came vs. Mona (Molly Holly) on 9 August '99. After that, management relegated her to the less important shows.

Jeannie did her best on Saturday Night and WorldWide before working a string of house shows in April 2000. They'd prove to be her final showings under contract. What was that about WCW never doing women's wrestling very well? They absolutely didn't get it.
