#nancy benoit

Nancy Benoit (born Nancy Elizabeth Toffoloni, 1964–2007) was a professional wrestling valet, manager, and occasional performer best known by the ring name “Woman.”

She became one of the most recognizable female personalities in American wrestling during the late 1980s and 1990s.

This maybe a bit of a rambly post here, but I wanted to make a specific post today to memorialise Nancy Toffoloni, better known as Woman or Nancy Benoit. I hate to even tag Chris Benoit in this post but i'm going to so more people can see it, but regardless of that.

It is a genuine shame that Nancy has been erased from Wrestling history due to the horrible tragedy that happened to her due to Chris, the more I see about the absolute shockingly disgusting murder from Chris Benoit the harder time I have watching Chris Benoit matches.

But one thing I have had a much easier time watching is any and all Nancy/Woman segments, manager moments, or whatever else she did in Wrestling, because my god all mighty Woman was perhaps one of the most attention grabbing manager/valets of all time.

The term "aura" is used to death these days, but Nancy has that special aura that just burst through the screen any time she was on TV, she was so captivating, her eyes were magical, she was such a sultry Woman, she was WOMAN, whether she was managing DOOM in WCW, Sandman in ECW, Kevin Sullivan or Benoit in WCW too, she had IT.

My baby is PALE AF. I think we’re the same shade, lmao.
