Ivory, born on November twenty-sixth, nineteen sixty-one, is a celebrated American retired professional wrestler, teacher, and coach. She gained prominence during her time in WWE, where she became a three-time WWE Women's Champion, securing her titles in nineteen ninety-nine and two thousand. Her remarkable career was further recognized when she was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in two thousand eighteen.
Before her WWE fame, Ivory made her mark in the independent wrestling scene, particularly with the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, where she performed under the ring name Tina Ferrari from the mid-to-late nineteen eighties. She made her WWE debut in nineteen ninety-nine, initially serving as the manager for wrestlers D'Lo Brown and Mark Henry. Her journey in WWE saw her winning the Women's Championship twice, and later, as part of the controversial Right to Censor stable, she clinched her third championship title.
In the latter part of her WWE career, Ivory transitioned to a more sporadic wrestling schedule. She co-hosted the WWE Experience and took on the role of a trainer on WWE Tough Enough, showcasing her dedication to nurturing the next generation of wrestlers. After departing from WWE in two thousand five, she continued her wrestling career with Women Superstars Uncensored, where she won two additional titles and was inducted into the WSU Hall of Fame.
Beyond the ring, Ivory has shown her compassionate side by volunteering at her local animal shelter. In two thousand seven, she took a significant step by opening Downtown Dog, an animal care and grooming facility in her hometown, further reflecting her love for animals and commitment to her community.
