THE ORIGINAL ICON, RACHEL McLISH WAS A GROUNDBREAKER IN BODYBUILDING AND THE SQUARED CIRCLE.  THE
ORIGINATOR OF THE NOW DEFUNCT FWF, RACHEL WAS A THREE-TIME WORLD CHAMPION AS WELL AS THEIR
ORIGINAL COMMISSIONER.

DURING HER CAREER, RACHEL COMBINED STRENGTH, AGILITY, STAMINA AND A VAST REPERTOIRE LIKE NO OTHER.  
SOMETIMES OVERMATCHED WITH STRENGTH OR BRUTALITY, IT WAS USUALLY RACHEL WHO EMERGED VICTORIOUS
FROM THESE WARS.  WITH A COMBINATION OF POWER AND BEAUTY, SHE CARRIED THE MANTLE OF THE FEDERATION

GLADYS PORTUGUES
BACKGROUND:
ONE OF THE PIONEERS OF FEMALE BODYBUILDING, GLADYS WAS THE FIRST WOMAN RACHEL McLISH CALLED WHEN
SHE DECIDED TO FORM THE FWF.  SEEKING GREATER EXPOSURE AND THE CHANCE TO INSPIRE OTHER YOUNG WOMEN
INTO BOTH SPORTS, GLADYS ACCEPTED AND THE REST IS HISTORY.

GLADYS WAS THE PROTOTYPE FOR THE CURRENT RUGGED FAN-FAVORITE.  THOUGH SHE PREFERRED TO USE HER
POWER AND MAT TECHNIQUES TO WEAR DOWN OPPONENTS, GLADYS OCCASIONALLY WENT TO THE AIR, MUCH TO
THE SURPRISE OF HER OPPONENT.  HER ONLY WEAKNESS WAS A RECURRING KNEE INJURY THAT EVENTUALLY
CAUSED THE TIGRESS TO SHEATH HER CLAWS AND RETIRE.

LISA MORETTI
BACKGROUND:
ONE OF WRESTLING’S TRUE INNOVATORS, LISA IS A TWENTY-YEAR VETERAN WITH CHAMPIONSHIPS IN EACH
FEDERATION SHE HAS BEEN PART OF.  HER TOUR IN THE FWF BROUGHT OUT THE BEST IN LISA, CULMINATING WITH A
WORLD TITLE REIGN AND TWO TOURS AS THE MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION.  HER BATTLES WITH LEEANN TWEEDEN
EVENTUALLY LED TO LISA'S RETIRING FROM THE FWF DUE TO INJURIES [LISA’S KNEE].  OCCASIONALLY, LISA STILL
APPEARS ON THE INDEPENDENT CIRCUIT.

EARLY IN HER CAREER, LISA WAS THE EPITOME OF A FAN FAVORITE.  RARELY, IF EVER, WOULD SHE BREAK THE
RULES.  HER FIRST STINT IN JAPAN CURED HER OF THAT.  IT ALSO ADDED A FEW MOVES INCLUDING HER FINISHER, THE
DIVA DRIVER, A VARIATION OF THE DEATH VALLEY DRIVER.  AFTER SETTING UP THE MOVE, LISA WON NEARLY 100% OF
THE TIME AFTER DELIVERING THE MOVE [ONLY TWICE DID ANYONE EVER KICK OUT].  THE TOUR IN JAPAN ALSO
SHOWED THAT THE FEISTY BRUNETTE COULD EXCEL AT HARDCORE MATCHES.
