This is going to be an epic edition of our Cageside Seats This Date in Pro Wrestling History Series, remembering a woman commonly referred to as The First Lady of Wrestling, because she deserves not to ever be forgotten.
If you're still hoping John Cena will turn heel at WrestleMania 29 this Sunday night (April 7, 2013) in New Jersey, you can go ahead and let that die now.
