And of course, here's an awesome commercial she did in Japan:

One of my all time faves. She appeared on the NBC show with Michael Landon in the 80's/ Can't recall the name, but she is moving some heavy weight and smiles at Landon's partner. Very good looking woman. Got huge and a bit hefty over the years. Some good pics there from her wrestling flyer. She did some good stuff in the old LPWA and in the US. She then went to  Japan where she was super popular. She did a popular commercial over there.

Amazing post 

  

Would have been exciting to feel the power of her scissors myself

one of my favorite female wrestlers

Her and Terri Powers were awesome back in the early days of the LPWA. Would have lived to watch the two of them in a match.

I would have to say Reggie and Teri were both prototypes for hot and strong ladies in wrestling! I love them both.

A shame she never got to compete against (the also huge and incredibly strong) Christina Dutowski - now there's one "no-holds-barred" matchup I'd like to see...

Love the "builder" outfit Reggie wore as her trademark - she could work on my home any time - I wouldn't even care if she did a shoddy job, as long as I could watch and say "thank you" in my own way at the end...

Loved Reggie's look and outfit too, UK. She was nice and beefy, but real strong. Nice looking lady too.

Reggie appeared in the series "Highway To Heaven" with Michael Landon as guest in the role of an FBB at the gym. Michael takes his partner to the show and he can't even do a chinup if I recall it and as the sexy Reggie steps in opposite him he claims he's on 20 or some decent number and she starts ripping off chinups and flashes a smile at the guy. Cool scene. Not sure if it is on youtube still. It has been upand down at sites like that.

Reggie was a huge hit in Japan. Female wrestlers were well paid there. She had no reason to go WWE at that time. She had a good following here and a great one in Japan.

Found the clip you're referring to here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXicC28tIOk

Thanks Abba. Could not find it in my brief search. That is it. Reggie was fbb and then went beefy and full later on. She trained with Killer Kawalski and I guess she liked it and made it her career.
