Woman

Misty Blue Simms

Simms competed for the American Wrestling Association in a 10 woman battle royal at WrestleRock 86 on April 20, 1986. The match was won by Sherri Martel.

In 1986, Simms joined the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and was awarded the NWA United States Women's Championship (a replacement of the prior NWA World Women's Championship held by Debbie Combs). She once challenged Combs to a title unification match (NWA United States Women's Title and NWA World Women's Title), but was attacked by Combs' manager/mother Cora Combs.

She frequently defended the NWA U.S. Women's Title against Linda Dallas, Kat LeRoux, Black Venus, Mad Dog Debbie Irons and a handful of other women on the NWA's TV programs World Wide Wrestling and World Championship Wrestling. Many of the matches between Dallas and Simms ended with the two battling each other with Dallas' kendo stick. She also frequently partnered with Heidi Lee Morgan and Zulu in tag-team matches.

While Madusa Miceli was the reigning AWA World Women's Champion, Simms challenged her to a title unification match (NWA United States Women's Title and AWA World Women's Title), but the match never happened.

She also briefly feuded with Jim Cornette. During a televised interview on TBS, Simms requested that Cornette help train her only to lure him into the ring and nail him with a drop kick. When the Midnight Express hit the ring, Dusty Rhodes appeared to even the sides. Simms then competed in an 8-person mixed tag team match partnering with Rhodes, Nikita Koloff, and Barry Windham against Cornette, The Midnight Express, and Dick Murdoch. However, the angle never reached the popularity of the Cornette/Baby Doll feud.

Misty feuded with Monster Ripper in Peurto Rico and won the title from her. There are unverified reports that Misty may have lost some matches, but no visual or readily available written proof seems to exist.

When the NWA phased out the women's division in late 1989, Simms wrestled on the independent circuit and eventually joined the Ladies Professional Wrestling Association. She and Heidi Lee Morgan competed as Team America and won the LPWA Tag Team Titles. They lost the titles to The Glamour Girls

In late 1991, Simms wrestled in World Championship Wrestling, which had evolved from the Jim Crockett Promotions branch of the NWA. She competed in matches against Linda Dallas and Kat LeRoux.

Her list of acheivements includes:

International World Class Championship Wrestling Women's Championship
Ladies Professional Wrestling Association Tag Team Championship with Heidi Lee Morgan
National Wrestling Alliance United States Women's Championship
BBP Women's Championship
IWF Women's Championship
NCW/IWA Intercontinental Women's Championship
NCW/IWA United States Women's Championship
WWWA Women's Championship
