Debrah 'Alundra Blayze/Madusa' Miceli was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2015. During her speech, Miceli spoke with pride about pushing women's wrestling forward in North America and working for both WWE and WCW. Back in the 90's though, she would have happily never stepped foot on WCW TV.

Appearing on Sean Waltman's 1, 2, 360 podcast, Madusa admitted that she never wanted to leave the then WWF or stop working for the McMahon family. Utterly distraught over being released by the company, the future Hall Of Fame inductee would actually cry herself to sleep at night after being let go.

Madusa would later show up on WCW Monday Nitro and throw the WWF Women's Title into the trash, a decision she'd come to regret. Hurt and lost post-release, the one time Alundra Blayze couldn't come to terms with why she'd been ousted by a promotion she loved working for.

Up until now, she's never publicly disclosed her bedtime tears.
