11. Madusa: Women's Champ To Monster Trucks
When you go on live TV and dump the WWF Women's Championship in a garbage can on the competition's show- and then that competition, WCW, goes out of business- you're probably not going to be invited to resume employment with the winner. (Madusa has since apologized and admitted she regrets that decision, blaming coercion by Eric Bischoff.) But things ended up just fine for Debrah "Madusa" Miceli, who left the ring made of canvas for an arena covered in dirt and smashed automobiles. In 1999- while actively competing for WCW, even feuding over the Cruiserweight Championship with Evan Karagias and... sigh... Oklahoma- Madusa first tried her hand at monster truck driving, winning her first freestyle competition in 2001. Eventually she purchased and competed in her own truck- cleverly nicknamed "Madusa" and with Madusa driving Madusa- she would be part of the first-ever three-way tie at the Monster Jam World Finals in 2004. As of 2008, she was the Executive Vice President of the Major League of Monster Trucks. And- if monster trucks aren't your thing- she has also dabbled in running a pet spa, operating a doggy bakery called "Koolkats and Hotdogs," and has provided commentary for boat races, which is apparently something people will watch on TV.
