Wendi Richter is another one of those wrestlers who helped pioneer women into the modern-day realm of wrestling. Standing at a strapping 5'8 and weighing in at 140lbs, Wendi, wrestling under her government name, was a dominant force during her prime wrestling years in the 1970s and '80s. She wrestled in a plethora of different pro-wrestling leagues, but her major contributions could be considered her time in the WWF where the women's roster was becoming the most prominent at that time.
Prior to making her way to the WWF as a fixture in the organization in 1983, Richter wrestled for Canada's Stampede Wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). Unfortunately, in 1985, Richter was blindsided by a plan formulated by Vince McMahon and The Fabulous Moolah that stripped her of her title after losing to a mystery fighter called The Spider, who happened to be The Fabulous Moolah. Richter cut ties with the WWF and wrestled independently from 1987 to 2005. In 2010, Richter was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, but still has her issues with the corporation.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
