Niccoli first saw a professional wrestling match at the age of 15 in
St. Joseph, Missouri in 1958, when promoter
Gust Karras suggested she might one day make a good female professional wrestler. In August 1970, Niccoli was awarded the
NWA United States Women's Championship, but she vacated it later that year, and the title remained inactive until December 1974. She teamed with
Paul Peller in February 1971 for a series of mixed tag team matches against
Jean Antone and
Gil Hayes. Three years after holding the US Championship, in August 1973, she won the
AWA World Women's Championship from
Vivian Vachon in Canada. She held the title in November 1984, when
Candi Devine defeated her for it. While still holding the AWA title, she spent three months in Japan in 1974, during which time she held
All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling's
WWWA World Tag Team Championship four times with partner
Sandy Parker. Back in the United States, she helped lift the ban on
women's wrestling by the
New York State Athletic Commission in the state of New York. Niccoli, however, never got a chance to wrestle in the state herself. After retiring in 1976, Niccoli stayed out of the wrestling world until she visited a
Cauliflower Alley Club (CAC) reunion in 2007. The following year, she was inducted into the
Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum in the "Lady Wrestler" category. She was also honored by the CAC in 2008. ==Personal life==
