STATUS: Face. Former tag team partner of Patti Pep, "Team Spirit."
WRESTLING: Randi looks better in the ring than I thought, considering that she has had few matches and that she has truly puny-looking forearms. Her cartwheels are far quicker than Patti's or Terri Gold's, making them appear as if they might actually serve some sort of wrestling purpose. She has some potential, but she's gonna be limited in her moves until she develops more strength.
CHARACTER: She has been good on the mic, showing an ability to avoid overacting that is rare in WOW. In the ring, she seems to yell "Randi Rah Rah!" and "Rah Rah!" a lot, which sounds dumb.
LOOKS: She's kinda cute, but I wouldn't rank her terribly high relative to the WOW field.
COMMENTS: After an extended absence from WOW, Randi returned at the Feb. 4 PPV. She is now wearing an eyepatch to go with her cheerleader costume. That is great. WOW needs to come up with more looks like that. No one can accuse a one-eyed cheerleader of being a stereotypical gimmick!! Maybe they can make Randi and Patti heels after all. What's more evil than a pirate cheerleader?
UPDATES:
3/4/01 (show #22):
- Randi did a pretty effective interview and challenged Lana to a "blindfold
match". She supported Patti before Patti's match with Jacklyn
Hyde, and bailed her out afterwards too, setting up the Team Spirit reunion.
All was going well until Lana attacked Randi, and McLane
informed us that "RANDI HAS BEEN BLINDED AGAIN!!!!!"
I see three possibilities here. 1. McLane doesn't realize that someone who is already blind can't be made more blind. 2. He meant that the other eye was blinded, in which case presumably, a blindfolded Lana is going to fight a completely blind Randi. 3. As so often occurs in WOW, Randi is going to come back next week as if nothing at all had happened.
None of these possibilities seem, in my humble opinion, to be any good. Why couldn't they just let Team Spirit reunite? I don't see how anything interesting will come out of perpetuating the Lana-Randi feud.
