Leilani Kai, part 2

Kai wrestled in WCW in the mid-1990's as part of their short-lived women's division. She wrestled as both Leilani Kai and Patty Stonegrinder and usually jobbed to Madusa.

She returned to WCW on November 29, 1999 to wrestle a mud-pit match against Rhonda Singh on WCW Monday Nitro. In a backstage skit, Fyre and Storm had a wardrobe squabble and a food fight broke out, and security broke it up. The view focused on another woman (Kai), who was watching this and apparently started choking after laughing at what was going on while eating at the same time. Juventud Guerrera happened by and worked a Heimlich maneuver, and then asked for an ambulance really loudly. Later, Guerrera said one of the women was unable to compete (she was choking) but he saved her life. Kai was then replaced by Miss Elizabeth.

In the summer of 2002, Kai challenged Lexie Fyfe for the Professional Girl Wrestling Association's (PGWA) championship in Branson, Missouri, and won the belt. This was a controversial match, due to the manner in which Kai gained the right to challenge Fyfe. A battle royal was held to determine who the next challenger would be; Leilani rolled out of the ring early in the match, and it appeared that she was eliminated. However, the rules stated that a wrestler could only be eliminated by being ejected over the ropes. Thus, she was still a valid combatant. Late in the match, Kai returned to the ring and managed to eject the last few women remaining. She then challenged Lexie to a match then and there; Fyfe was injured following a title match earlier that night against Macaela Mercedes (aka Jillian Hall), including suffering a damaged knee and one eye swollen shut. However, Fyfe agreed...although she was in no condition to wrestle, and Kai quickly defeated her.

Leilani successfully defended the title multiple times over the next few months. In November of '02, however, she wrestled and lost to British grappler Pippa L'Vinn in a match held in North Carolina.

On March 12, 2003, she defeated Madison to win the NWA Women's Championship in a dark match on an Total Nonstop Action Wrestling pay-per-view. The title was vacated when Kai was stripped by NWA President Bill Behrens due to missing several NWA shows, including the NWA Virginia show. Kai reportedly skipped the shows because she felt the NWA governing board was not treating the Women's Championship with the respect it deserved, such as not televising title matches on the TNA program, and rarely booking women's matches on the more important NWA cards.

Although Leilani has not announced her official retirement, she has not wrestled since 2004.

Leilani Kai - Part 1

Wrestler: Leilani Kai
Real Name: Patti Schroeder
Born: January 23, 1960, Tampa, Florida
Height & Weight: 5'7"
Trained by: Fabulous Moolah
Pro Wrestling Debut: 1979
Previous Gimmicks: Patty Stonegrinder
Finishing Move: The Big Boot
Favorite Moves: Flying Crossbody,Flying Splash,Hair Snapmare
Notable Feuds: Fabulous Moolah,Wendy Richter,Jumping Bomb Angles

Patricia Karisma-Schroeder (better known by her stage name as Leilani Kai) is a professional wrestler.

Trained by the The Fabulous Moolah in 1975, Kai wrestled mostly in tag-teams throughout the late 70's and early 1980's.

Kai hit the big time in 1985, when she defeated World Wrestling Federation superstar Wendi Richter for the WWF Women's Championship. Richter would regain the title months later at the inaugural WrestleMania event.

Kai was then paired with another Moolah trainee, Judy Martin, and was awarded the WWF Women's Tag Team Championship. A tag team title match between Kai and Martin and champions Velvet McIntyre and Desiree Petersen was reported to have happened in Egypt in 1985, but in actuality, the match never took place. Kai and Martin were awarded the titles after McIntyre and Petersen split up.

After touring on the independent circuit and Japan for a few years, Kai and Martin returned to the WWF, repackaged as the platinum haired The Glamour Girls. The duo appeared at the first Survivor Series in 1987 as part of then champion Sherri Martel's team to face the Fabulous Moolah's team. Martel's team consisting of Martel, The Glamour Girls , Dawn Marie and Donna Christanello lost to The Fabulous Moolah's team consisting of Moolah, Velvet McIntyre, Rockin' Robin, and the Jumping Bomb Angels (Noriyoi Tateno and Itsuki Yamazaki).

Kai and Martin (managed by Jimmy Hart) would feud for much of 1988 with Japanese imports the Jumping Bomb Angels for the Women's Tag Team Championship. The two teams staged an epic 2 out of 3 falls match at the first Royal Rumble event in 1988, with the Bomb Angels capturing the gold. Kai & Martin would recapture the titles months later in Japan before the belts were once again abandoned.

The Glamour Girls then surfaced in the newly formed Ladies Professional Wrestling Association (LPWA), managed by Adnan El Kassey and then by the "Queen of Wrestling" Christopher Love. They would wrestle as both a tag team and as top contenders to LPWA Champion Susan Sexton's title. After months of feuding with Tag Team Champions Misty Blue Simmes and Heidi Lee Morgan (Team America), The Girls finally captured the LPWA Tag Team Titles. They feuded with teams like the Bad, Black and Beautiful; The New Team America (Misty Blue Simmes and Alison Royal) & Bambi and Malia Hosaka (who the duo would face at the first and only LPWA pay per view - Superladies Showdown) before the LPWA folded in 1993.

Kai would return to the WWF in 1994 at WrestleMania X to unsuccessfully challenge champion Alundra Blayze.
