Professional wrestling career
McGuirk's WWF debut was in April 1987 on WWF Wrestling Challenge. From her debut, she was the object of ridicule from heel commentator Bobby Heenan.[1] McGuirk also did commentary, often with Bruce Prichard. McGuirk was known for her famous glittery tuxedos she wore while announcing as well as her strong vocals.
She performed color commentary on the Best of the WWF Volume 15, and did commentary on the WWF TV show All-American Wrestling.[1]
McGuirk left the WWF in 1993, reported by Penthouse magazine to be because she refused sexual advances made upon her by Vince McMahon, around the same time Boni Blackstone was hired as an interviewer. McGuirk later refuted this rumor, stating that she had simply refused an offer to pose for Penthouse. She left because she did not want to move her family to Connecticut.[2] In October 2004, she appeared at Wrestling Reunion II in New Jersey and also repeated her performance for an Indianapolis Indiana show. In May 2010, she made an appearance at the Legends of the Ring convention.
Personal life
She was once married to Brian Blair of The Killer Bees. They went to Hawaii for their honeymoon in 1979 while Brian worked for the Ed Francis promotion. When they returned, they helped LeRoy and Dorothy run the Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri territories. During her WWF days, she was often the travel companion of Sherri Martel.
She works as a real estate agent in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
