On this date in WWF history: Saturday Night's Main Pumpkin Pass
On November 2, 1985, World Wrestling Federation (WWF) had a special Halloween-themed show planned for Saturday Night's Main Event, including the infamous "pumpkin pass" between a roster of dressed-up superstars.
This is classic 80's wrestling in all its goofy glory.
The video is worth watching just for the commentary by the incomparable Jesse "The Body" Ventura, who absolutely destroys half the faces in attendance for no other reason than because he can.
And seeing Miss Elizabeth prancing around in a leotard with her pumpkins exposed doesn't hurt either.

So was Miss Elizabeth...
actually attractive? Or was she attractive because of the context? She was really the only woman in wrestling at that point (of any note). So was she hot because she was the only woman there? Like Danica Patrick – is she really hot or does she look hot because she’s the only female of note who races cars?
She was attractive, though not my type. And her character’s personality — which was doormat — was very unattractive. I think she was the only woman in the WWF at the time who was not a wrestler, and this was after Wendi Richter got screwed out of the title so I don’t think they were pushing the women’s division at all then anyway. (Perhaps someone else remembers when they brought in the Jumping Bomb Angels and pushed the Woman’s Tag-Team Championship for a while.)
Anyway, to answer your question in a less rambling fashion, Elizabeth was good-looking but not incredibly good looking. Around that time there were relatively few really good-looking female characters in wrestling, and most of them — Sunshine, Missy Hyatt, Baby Doll if that’s your thing — were employed elsewhere. So the presence of a woman who didn’t look like she could bodyslam you was rare in the WWF at the time.
Elizabeth was quite attractive
And would have been in any context. I never considered her smokin’ hot or anything, but you’d be proud showing up somewhere with her on your arm.
Release...the KITTIES!
