Professional wrestling career

Extreme Championship Wrestling (1998-1999)

Trained by Extreme Championship Wrestling, she started her professional wrestling career in Japan in August 1998 for NEO Women's Pro Wrestling, where she won a tournament by defeating Kyoko Inoue.[7] Bass debuted in ECW during the first half of 1998. She aligned herself with Justin Credible, Jason Knight and Chastity. She participated in feuds with Tommy Dreamer, Mikey Whipwreck and Beulah McGillicutty.[8]

World Wrestling Federation (1999)

Bass soon joined the

Val Venis against Jeff Jarrett and Debra at the 1999 WWF Over the Edge, which took place directly after the death of Owen Hart at that pay-per-view. Bass was then aligned with Venis until she accidentally whacked him with Jarrett's guitar after losing a bikini contest to Debra. The following week, she interfered in a match between Debra and Ivory, with Debra losing her Women's Championship due to Nicole's interference.[citation needed
]

This led to a brief alliance between Bass and Ivory, which ended abruptly when Bass left the WWF in July 1999 and filed a lawsuit against the organization for

personal training. She wrestled her last match in 2002.[7]

Personal life

Bass was married to Richard "Bob" Fuchs from 1985 until his death in 2013.[10] At the time of her death, Bass was in a relationship with her business partner, Kristen Marrone.[11][12]

In 2006, Bass was hospitalized due to steroid-influenced pancreatitis.[3]

Death

On February 16, 2017, girlfriend Kristen Marrone posted a statement on Bass' official

heart attack. Her family and friends were with her that evening as she was taken off life support. Bass died on February 17 at the age of 52.[14]
