Elizabeth Hulette Obituary

Miss Elizabeth was called by many the first lady of wrestling. She carved out a career in that male dominated sport by managing and marrying star wrestlers.

When World Championship Wrestling folded in 2001, she settled into a life with wrestling super star Lex Luger, whose real name is Lawrence Pfohl. They shared a $300,000 house in Marietta's River Stone subdivision.

Cobb County authorities have not declared an official cause of death. Elizabeth Hulette, 42, was found unresponsive in her residence May 1 and died at WellStar Kennestone Hospital. An autopsy was performed, and no foul play is suspected. Results of toxicology tests necessary to determine cause of death can take a month, according to the medical examiner's office.

Ms. Hulette entered the world of professional wrestling as the manager of then-husband Randy "Macho Man" Savage. They entered the World Wrestling Federation together in 1985, and their careers took off immediately. They divorced, and eventually Ms. Hulette moved to WCW based in Atlanta.

"Elizabeth was one of the sweetest, most wonderful people," said Irene Carlos, who often worked out with her at Main Event Fitness, where Mr. Pfohl is part owner.

Elizabeth was absolutely a stunning beautiful woman. I go back to the 1980's watching her with Randy & Hulk Hogan performing on TV. What happened to her was so tragic, so young & to much life to live hard to believe she has been gone what will be 21 years RIP Elizabeth The First Lady of Wrestling.

To the First Lady of Wrestling Miss Elizabeth, a tribute to her. She is reunited with the Macho Man in the Heavens forever and ever. I´ll will miss them both. They are the main reason I watched wrestling, because they were both the whole show. Bless them both.

Wow hard to beleave you´ve been gone 18 years now. Your my fellow Kentuckian and you will always be the First Lady of wrestling and in my heart you will always be the queen of Kentucky. I will never forget the first time we actually sit and talked way back in the early 80s before you and randy got married and when I first met randy when you all came to Lexington and had shows at the old continental inn when Angelo ran a promotion. Thru the years we always ended up running into you and randy. I still go by you all´s old house on wasteland pkway. Your beautify and your kind heart will always live on.

I first watched as a young kid in the 90s. I discovered the wwe stuff later. You were wonderful. Beuaty, class, and grace. I KNOW you and Randy are together again. That makes me happy. Can't belive it has been 10 years. Still doesn't make sense to me. Never thought you'd go out like that. Wish we could see in/around the ring 1 last time. You deserved a much better ending than what you got RIP First Lady.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Elizabeth Hulette was my childhood idol and I had the oppurtunity to meet her about 6 years ago in Norfolk, Virginia where we sat for hours and talked and had a few drinks. She really was a terrific woman and was everything she appeared to be on television, sweet, honest, and loveable. My thoughts and prayers are with the Hulette family and with Lawrence Pfhol in his time of despair.

My condolences goes out to Miss Elizabeth's family and all the friends who had the honor of knowing her. I met her once and she was the sweetest woman I'd ever met in the pro-wrestling business. She was not only beautiful on the outside but on the inside as well. My heart goes out to Lex Luger as well, who I met in KC, MO a few years back. Miss Elizabeth was truly the first lady of wrestling and set the path for other women in this sport. She will never be forgotten in my heart. May you rest in peace Miss Elizabeth. We love you in this household in Odessa, MO.
