There are few women wrestlers in history - heck, few wrestlers, period - who have had careers as interesting as that of Madusa Miceli. As a wrestler, she competed (and held titles) all around the world, including in WWE, WCW, and the AWA. Still, she's arguably most famous for her shocking debut on Monday Nitro in 1995. She was fired from WWE while still reigning as Women's Champion, so at Eric Bischoff's behest she brought the title to TV and threw it in a trash can. Needless to say, WWE executives weren't pleased, but it all became water under the bridge in 2015, when Madusa was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Equally interesting is Madusa's post-wrestling job as a driver of monster trucks. She has excelled at that, as well, becoming the first woman to win the Monster Jam World Finals Racing Championship. According to Miceli's official website, she practices the mystical branch of Judaism known as Kabbalah.
