Getting married to Steve, 1993.

13 INJURED PRIDE

After the wedding, our lives seemed to be going the way we wanted. Steve and I had created a loving base in Georgia, and our children, Jade and Stephanie, were both healthy and happy.

Steve’s dreams of singles stardom were finally coming true. Nine days after our wedding, he was booked on WCW’s final pay-per-view of the year, Starrcade 1993. It was the night that he would be crowned the new WCW United States Heavyweight Champion by ousting his long-time ring rival Dustin Rhodes in a two-out-of-three falls match for the title.

He was relieved that his career was finally going the way he wanted. He had been concerned that internal politics were the reason that The Hollywood Blonds had disbanded, but he was now starting to climb the upper ranks of WCW as the solo performer that he always wanted to be.

Once again, his efforts were being recognised by the office and his future with the company was looking promising. In the years prior, the holder of the United States title was considered the number one contender to the holder of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. With hard work, Steve was certain that it was only a matter of time before he would get his chance to lead the promotion.

Beyond his ascension as a talent, a number of internal changes within WCW were also having a positive impact on our lives.

Eric Bischoff, who I only knew as a backstage interviewer when I first joined the promotion, had since been appointed to lead the management of WCW following the resignation of Bill Watts in the spring of 1993. Eric had started to restructure the finances of WCW in an effort to make it profitable, and one of his first decisions was to drop a significant portion of the non-televised events promoted by the company.

By the summer, he ceased the touring house shows which he identified had been making losses for the office. This actually meant that the contracted talent would work lesser dates but take home the same guaranteed income.
