If you thought the debate over whether the chicken or the egg came first was a question for the ages, wrestling fans feel they’ve a far tougher one to ponder.Some questions transcend time and, for those who follow the fortunes of professional wrestling and the crazy world that surrounds it, a similarly divisive question still remains.Before Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Bayley or Rhea Ripley, there was Alundra Blayze in WWEWWEYes, there are generational ones to tussle with – who is the greatest wrestler of all time? What’s the best match to ever take place? The answers will evolve and shape with time.While viewers can tangle with those posers day and night, there’s one topic that’s sure to light a fire under any fan who was consumed by WWE during the Attitude Era.An iconic period spanning years in the 1990s and early 2000s, it was the time in wrestling that launched the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, and The Undertaker into global stardom.Millions tuned in to weekly episodes of Raw and, later, SmackDown as WWE strove to overturn the lengthy ratings dominance enjoyed by WCW, its primary competition.The Attitude Era, it’s accepted, was succeeded by The Ruthless Aggression era which in turn gave launch to careers like John Cena’s -the transition arguably taking place around the time arch ‘Attitude’ enemies Vince McMahon and Austin joined forces.If we know when the Attitude Era ended, why is it so hard to determine how it started? Some say it was when Bret Hart was double crossed at Survivor Series in 1997, while others trace it back to Austin’s victory over Hart at that year’s WrestleMania, or his alliance with Mike Tyson a year later.The truth of it, though, might just be that the era to top all eras actually started way before that, in December 1995.On an episode of WCW Nitro, before Hart, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash had all jumped ship there from WWE, out strode McMahon’s reigning Women’s Champion, Alundra Blayze.She’d go on to star as Madusa in WCW, and made a debut that’s etched her name into wrestling folklore when she took her championship belt, won in WWE, and promptly threw it into a trash can.The hugely symbolic gesture was a kick in the teeth to McMahon and co. The blow was felt so firmly that it laid the basis for the WWE Chairman’s betrayal of Hart two years later – he feared the Canadian, then his world champion, might venture to WCW and do the same thing with that title belt given he was due to sign there.Blayze transformed into WCW star Madusa in the mid 1990sWWEDespite her act of controversy, Madusa remains one of wrestling’s most iconic figures for her work in the ringWWEGiven the domino effect it had on wrestling and the war between WWE and WCW, it stands as a true moment in time – and one that, at the time, earned the wrestler herself some stinging criticism.“If I was a guy I would’ve been on the cover of every magazine,” the real-life Debrah Miceli blasted in an interview with WWE years later. “Because I was a woman, I was called a disgrace to the business. That’s the truth.”Why then, did she do it? That answer is simple. She added: “Well, I was under contract and [then WCW boss] Eric Bischoff told me to do it. It was either that or I was out the door.'”She went through with it and changed the course of history – but that has done little to change her own legacy as a trailblazer for women’s wrestling.Miceli battled on as, at one stage, WWE’s only rostered female performer in the 1990s, eventually featuring regularly as a WCW star in the late 1990s before McMahon bought out the competition and effectively shut it down.She was honoured by WWE for her own iconic career, which included memorable battles around the world with Bull Nakano, with a Hall of Fame induction in 2015.Star was a WWE Hall of Fame class of 2015 inducteeWWEThe veteran oozed old-cool school at Saturday Night’s Main Event in JanuaryWWEMaking occasional wrestling appearances to the present day, the now 62-year-old was celebrated at January’s Saturday Night’s Main event, where she was pictured in the crowd with her iconic championship belt, which she revealed was returned to her minutes after the trash can stunt.While still very much there was the striking smile and steely glare that no doubt troubled many an opponent over the years, gone were the iconic blonde locks that were such a trademark part of her original look in favour of flowing brown hair. Famed in WWE and WCW for her outlandish and colourful outfits, she instead wore a dark jacket as she posed with the title, some 40 years after her wrestling career first began.Like all of us over the years that have passed since that fateful day in the mid-1990s, her look may have changed, but one thing is certain, the switch from Alundra Blayze into Madusa remains as iconic as ever.
