10 Times WWE Wasted Female Talent
2. Bertha Faye
After making a name for herself in Japan and Puerto Rico, Rhonda Sing caught the eye of WWF officials in early 1995. Brought in to bolster the reinstated women's division, the former "Monster Ripper" soon found herself reduced to little more than a brightly coloured comedy act.
Despite capturing the Women's Championship at SummerSlam 1995, Faye was never allowed to be seen as a serious competitor. At one point she was even told to tone down her trademark, powerhouse style as not to detract from the male performers.
After wrestling some of the biggest names in the industry and taking part in Inter-gender matches long before the likes of Chyna, Faye was initially brought to the United States to feud with fellow newcomer Bull Nakano.
When a cocaine bust forced Nakona out of the company, Faye transitioned into a comic relief role complete with trailer park overtones. It seemed that the only reason Faye was kept on TV was so that announcers could make endless, unnecessary jokes about her weight.
You could easily make the argument that Sing's WWF run effectively ruined her career. A couple of similar, sporadic appearances for WCW was all that followed before her tragic death in 2001.
