Career

Miceli started wrestling in 1987 in the AWA as Madusa Miceli, a heel women's wrestler and manager to Kevin Kelly and AWA World Champion Curt Hennig.

She won the AWA Women's Title in a tournament final over Candi Divine on December 27, 1987. She feuded with Divine and then Wendi Richter for the belt and lost it to Richter on November 26, 1988. She then left for IWA in Japan, where she won the Women's Title twice and learned the Japanese wrestling style.

She then went to WCW in late 1991 to help Paul E. Dangerously form his Dangerous Alliance of Rick Rude, Arn Anderson, Bobby Eaton, "Stunning" Steve Austin and Larry Zbysko. She often interfered in their matches and most often accompanied Rude to the ring. At Beach Blast on June 20, 1992, she lost a bikini contest to Missy Hyatt. In October, Dangerously kicked her out of the Dangerous Alliance and she got revenge when she defeated him (by countout after he ran from her) in a match on November 18, 1992 at the Clash of Champions. It was during this time that she was briefly married to wrestler Eddie Gilbert.

In 1993, she debuted as Alundra Blayze for the WWF. She had feuds with Bull Nakano and Bertha Faye. She won the WWF Women's Title three times while there.

Miceli did not like the Blayze gimmick and left the WWF and turned up on WCW Monday Nitro on December 18, 1995 and threw the WWF Women's Title Belt in a trash can and proclaimed her name to be Madusa. She had a brief feud with Sherri Martel because Sherri supposedly stole Col. Rob Parker from her and even interrupted their wedding vows in Las Vegas. The feud ended after that.

There were not many women wrestlers in WCW so she did not get to wrestle very much. She did have some feuds with Luna Vachon and Akira Hokuto. She lost in the finals of the WCW Women's Title tournament to Hokuto on December 29, 1996 at StarrCade. She never could win the title but claimed to have won it in Japan, but records indicated otherwise. On June 15, 1997, at the Great American Bash, Miceli lost a retirement match to Hokuto.

She came back in 1999 as part of Randy Savage's "Team Savage" with Gorgeous George and Miss Madness. She was eventually kicked out by Savage and she wrestled sporadically after that but did win the WCW Cruiserweight Title from Evan Karagias (who had dumped her) in December 1999 only to lose it to Oklahoma in January. She left WCW & retired from pro wrestling in late 2000.
