"Wendi Richter helped the gang fight the bad guys before she got screwed by Vince McMahon in a much less famous "Montreal" incident at Madison Square Garden."
What was this less famous incident that took place?

"Wendi Richter helped the gang fight the bad guys before she got screwed by Vince McMahon in a much less famous "Montreal" incident at Madison Square Garden." What was this less famous incident that took place? Basically, her contract was up and they shoved a new one in her face prior to a Madison Square Garden title defense against Spider Lady. She said she'd look it over. They said no, sign it now. She refused. Spider Lady then got her in a pinning position, and Wendi's shoulders were down for like a one count. The ref counted three anyway. Moolah was revealed to be Spider Lady, and that was Wendi's last WWF match. It looks REALLY weird when you watch it. I think it's on an old Coliseum video someplace...

Never actually seen this, but I heard that afterward, Wendi started throwing worked punches at Moolah, who no sold them.
Contrast that with Michaels/Hart - apparently Jerry Brisco coached Michaels in some defensive tactics pre-screw j, to stop the very real possibility of Hart pummelling the hell out of Michaels in the ring, thus trashing the rep of the WWE champ.
Also, anyone know who Moolah dropped the title to?

Didn't she double switch it with Velvet McEntyre on a tour of Austrailia in '86 before dropping it to Sherri Martel?

Just because Vince didn't say it on the Monday Night Wars DVD, doesn't make it any less true. |

Mixed tag match! Bret and Wendi* vs. Vince and Moolah!
*I edited this, but, was she really Wendy with an "i"? How white trash!

I even remember Finkel didn't know who Spider lady was. He called it, HERE is YOUR winner...Moolah? The Spider?
After that, she briefly exchanged it with Velvet, then turned face and dropped it to Sherri Martel, who lost it to Rockin Robin, and it was abandoned about a year later.

I remember seeing this match on live television on the MSG Network in 1985 (oh, the good ol' days when MSG used to broadcast live the WWF house shows from Madison Square Garden every month) and even back then, in my pre-smark days (yes, I knew it was pre-determined), the finish was suspicious to say the least. I think it was on "Coach Kurt's Wrestling Line" years later that I found out that it was a screw-job.
Recently I read an interview with Wendi Richter. She talks about how the Iron Sheik used to hit on her all the time and she'd turn him down. The Sheik then went around to the locker room and said, "Oh, that Wendi, she's a lesbian because she turned down the Sheik!"
