Elizabeth Hulette

(Redirected from Miss Elizabeth)

Elizabeth Hulette (November 19, 1960 - May 1, 2003), known in the professional wrestling world as Miss Elizabeth or "The First Lady of Wrestling", was a WWF (now WWE) personality and, for a short time, female wrestler. Miss Elizabeth gained fame during the late 1980s.

She was originally from Kentucky and actually possessed a Communications Degree from the University of Kentucky. It was while working at wrestling matches that she met Randy Poffo (Randy "Macho Man" Savage) who was to be her first husband.

She sustained relationships with wrestlers Randy Savage, Lex Luger and, for a short period, Hulk Hogan. Hulette and Savage were "married" in a nationally televised ceremony in 1991, though they had actually been married since 1985 (they split in 1992). She was also Savage's manager; indeed the Miss Elizabeth character started a wave of female manager and valet roles in professional wrestling.

Hulette was also married to a non-wrestler for a brief period of time in 1998.

On May 1, 2003 in Marietta, Georgia, her companion, Luger, called the 911 emergency services and said Hulette was not breathing. The 911 operator told him to give her mouth to mouth resucitation but she did not respond. Paramedics rushed her to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Police launched an investigation because two weeks prior to her death they had arrested Luger on charges of domestic violence. Luger has been arrested but has yet to be charged in relation to her death. Luger was released after posting bail.

Police found pills of hydrocodone and alprazolam (Xanax), as well as anabolic steroids, testosterone and sazien in the home Luger and Hulette shared. The subsequent autopsy showed that Hulette died of an accidental drug overdose mixing the medications with vodka.
