Canada (1980–1984) McIntyre made her professional wrestling debut in Idaho in 1980, and began wrestling full-time three months later. She then joined Vancouver's
All Star Wrestling in 1981, where she feuded with Princess Victoria. She continued to feud with Victoria for the remainder of the year in both singles and tag team matches in Vancouver and the
NWA Pacific Northwest under promoter
Don Owen.
World Wrestling Federation (1982; 1984–1988) In 1983, the World Wrestling Federation withdrew from the
National Wrestling Alliance, and when McIntyre and Victoria rejoined the promotion in 1984, they were immediately recognized as holding the
WWF Women's Tag Team Championship. McIntyre then began wrestling as a singles wrestler, immediately feuding with
The Fabulous Moolah, unsuccessfully challenging her at
Wrestlemania 2 (the referee counted the pin on McIntyre despite her left leg being draped over the bottom rope which should have stopped the count). It was necessary as her wrestling suit's right strap had broken during her failed top rope splash onto Moolah so they had to do this.Some speculated she was promised she'd win the title that night to get her to wrestle Moolah who she hated and cost her the chance to wrestle on an all women's wrestling tour of Syria. She won the
WWF Women's Championship on July 3, 1986 when she defeated Moolah at the
Brisbane Festival Hall on the WWF's 1986 Australian tour, but Moolah regained the title six days later at the
Sydney Entertainment Centre (the only two times the WWF Women's Championship changed hands in the
Southern Hemisphere). Although, recognized as an official title reign, this title change was never acknowledged by the WWF on any medium when it happened, though some websites like Facebook have a picture of McIntyre wearing the WWF's women title. Years later, Moolah called McIntyre the best female wrestler in Canada. In 1987, McIntyre consistently lost matches to Moolah and
Sherri Martel. She also competed at the
Survivor Series, teaming with Moolah,
Rockin' Robin, and the
Jumping Bomb Angels against Martel, Leilani Kai, Judy Martin,
Donna Christanello, and
Dawn Marie, herself eliminating both Christanello and Martel by pinfall before being eliminated by Kai. By 1990, the WWF women's division was again on hiatus.
Return to Canada (1993–1998) After leaving the WWF, McIntyre continued to wrestle sporadically on the independent circuit. In November 1993, she won the Canadian Wrestling Alliance's Women's Championship from Iron Maiden, but lost it to Iron Maiden again in January 1994. They continued to feud into 1996, when the two women joined Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling, where the two traded the Women's Championship, which McIntyre held for two months. In September, they competed in a
strap match—a match where the wrestlers must compete while connected via a leather strap—in which McIntyre was victorious. In November 1997, as a part of the International Championship Wrestling, she won the WWWA Women's Championship from
Bertha Faye. She also held the ICW Women's Championship, which she lost in July 1998. == Personal life ==
