"Someone who isn’t such a safe bet for the WWE Hall of Fame and may never even get consideration is the original Queen of Extreme, Beulah McGillicutty. Most fans may know her as Tommy Dreamer’s wife, but when Beulah first broke into the wrestling business, she was just as inexperienced as a lot of the women today. What set Beulah apart from other women is the ground breaking angles she was part of. ECW was known for being rough, dirty, and extreme and she certainly fit in with that crowd. She shined a beautiful light on the little bingo hall promotion and the die hard ECW fans loved her for it. Beulah’s most memorable moments involve her debut alongside Raven and her developing relationship with Tommy Dreamer. Beulah had a pregnancy angle before pregnancy angles were cool in wrestling and she also got involved in a controversial lesbian angle with Kimona that culminated in both of them kissing Tommy Dreamer at the same time.
Beulah’s defining moment came against another non-wrestler in a match that Paul Heyman has gone on record in saying is one of the best ECW matches of all time. Beulah took on referee/manager Bill Alfonso in one bloody match-up! It’s groundbreaking in the sense that two non-wrestlers threw caution to the win and just went at in one of the best intergender matches ever. It’s a must watch on YouTube for any women’s wrestling fan and for those fans of Beulah who believe she deserves a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame. You can’t say she’s not worthy because she’s never been involved with World Wrestling Entertainment. Beulah has in fact been on WWE programming, twice, after becoming a mother to twin daughters. Both times took place at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view and each involved yet another memorable moment for Beulah. From her catfight with long-time rival Francine, to getting speared by Edge and pinned provocatively, Beulah was the it girl for ECW and she was about as extreme it gets. She took nasty bumps, asserted her authority in matches, and made damn sure people knew exactly who she was. Beulah is Hall of Fame worthy and hopefully people will see that one of these days."
