Much like Jackie Moore, Ivory arrived in WWE in 1999 with nearly 15 years of in-ring experience under her belt including time on TV on the legendary GLOW product in the 1980s. As women as in-ring performers became something of interest to WWE, Ivory was right in the mix, and garnered significant heat as a mid-card performer and occasional Women's Champion via both feuding with the likes of the Fabulous Moolah and as a part of the Right to Censor heel group. Ivory was a spitfire who had great charisma and a solid knowledge of grappling, too. Always in the mix during WWE's most significant era of mainstream pop cultural relevance, Ivory played a key role in crafting in the again new-to-wrestling mainstream's mindset a notion that women were more than eye candy, and could be professional wrestlers, too.
