[edit] Career

[edit] World Wrestling Federation

Rockin' Robin debuted in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in late 1987. She competed at the first Survivor Series as a member of The Fabulous Moolah's team. Throughout 1988, she feuded with Sensational Sherri for the WWF Women's Championship.

On October 10, 1988, she defeated Sherri for the Women's Title in Paris. At the 1989 Royal Rumble, she defended the title against Judy Martin. She continued to feud with Sherri and Martin throughout the spring. At WrestleMania V, she sang America the Beautiful. Backstage, Sherri took the opportunity to mock her. Robin continued to defend the Women's Title against Martin throughout the summer of 1989. She then left the company, which led to the abandonment of the title until 1993.

[edit] Independents

On June 9, 1991, Robin defeated Candi Devine to become the first UWF Women's Champion at UWF Beach Brawl, the company's first and only pay-per-view.

Robin also competed in the Ladies' Professional Wrestling Association (LPWA). She formed a tag team with former WWF Women's Champion Wendi Richter and competed at LPWA's only PPV: LPWA Super Ladies Showdown.
