10 WCW Managers You Totally Don’t Remember

Wrestling was obsessed with sex appeal in the late-90s/early-2000s.
One need only look at the number of attractive women plastered all over the WWE, WCW and ECW products to see that everyone agreed on one thing: Sex sold, and wrestling fans were buying it in bulk. That's presumably why ex-ECW valet Kimona Wanalaya (read that slowly then cringe) was recruited in 1999.
Originally, Kimona worked as Varsity Club cheerleader Leia Meow. When WCW got bored of that, they changed pom-poms into whips and made Meow a borderline dominatrix gimmick for The Jung Dragons. That team were highly underrated in-ring, but Leia was little more than stereotypical eye candy outside it.
Her WCW run is quite curious. Meow worked multiple characters, but most fans barely remember she was even there. At one point, Leia even went through a spell of hitting crossbody blocks off the top rope during Dragon matches.
