2000: from Exile to Right to Censor

(links to matches & appearances, pics & reports, at the bottom)

In the year 2000 Ivory continued her vendetta against the oversexed women of WWF/WWE. On January 23 she grudgingly took part in the “Miss Royal Rumble” swimsuit contest…

Ivory and Jacqueline wanted to work, but somebody stood in their way. In 2000 Stephanie McMahon, although devoid of athletic skill and in-ring experience, set herself up as a wrestler and, in her very first singles match, she defeated veteran Jacqueline for the title! She held it for 5 months, defending it in all told 3 (three!) singles matches against new girl Lita. Stephanie never fought Ivory.

While new talent and non-wrestlers got involved in eye-catching storylines, Ivory was “just a wrestler”, working matches against the likes of Jacqueline on house shows and D-level TV-shows. Stephanie may have kept away from Ivory, light weight champion Dean Malenko didn’t. On July 6 Ivory and Jacqueline kicked his ass…

On August 21 Trish Stratus and Ivory had their first in-ring confrontation. The difference between a model and a real athlete was remarkable. Molly too entered the WWF in 2000.

On October 23, just moments after Lita defeated Trish Stratus in a Bra and Panties match for the title, Ivory debuted as the latest member of the Right to Censor faction. As she had done in the past, she was very vocal on the women’s title being caught up in such filth and vowed to take it back in the name of moral righteousness.

Ivory began a rivalry with champion Lita and won the Women’s Championship for the third time (with little help from Edge & Christian). Ivory defeated Lita 4 times in 1 on 1 matches. Lita won once.

In late 2000, Ivory and the RtC began feuding with Chyna after the latter posed for Playboy. On December 11 Ivory eliminated Chyna with a piledriver (with little help from Val Venis) and 6 weeks later she became the first and only women able to beat Chyna in a WWF ring. Out of that famous feud Ivory emerged as an excellent public speaker, one of the best ever, and one of the most hated females ever.
