Forwarded Message from Patti Powers about KC Kelly...

From Patti Powers:
KC Kelly
" As many of you probably know she lost her husband without warning last
week. She called Friday and is really just stressing out big time as
far as covering the cost of his funeral. She asked Marvin to just pay
for it for her but we don't have the money to just pay if all for her
and it's a scary time for us with his surgery just around the corner.
Lady Amazon has offered to help collect the funds for her so please
anyone who's able and willing to help her out no matter how small
please yell at her or me. You're welcome to email me privately as well
as check my group for updates on her.
She and he were talking last Tuesday and he just fell in the floor with
heart failure. He was a really nice guy and truly devoted to her and
very proud of her for wrestling.
Please do consider helping her out. It is a very stressful time for
her and she's just letting money worries drive herself crazy. My group is
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PattiPowersII/
Thanks, Patti Powers"

These ladies wrestle for the love of the sport. Their world is like that of Mildred Burke and the great classic ladies, not the WWE's Trish and Candice.
They love what they do and we love what they do.
So if anyone can do anything, even if its just sending out a call for help like this, please contact Patti at her group and let her know.

Thank you,

Candi Devine, (born Candace Rummel), was a professional wrestler. Devine (also known as Candi Divine) also had a sister who wrestled briefly as Rose Love and Rose Devine.

Candi started in wrestling by running a fan club for Lanny Poffo and working briefly as a ring girl for ICW in Kentucky. Candi Devine suffered an injury when Amy Monroe botched a monkey flip and hit her head on Devine's jaw in Memphis. Devine required hours of plastic surgery to repair her badly broken jaw and came close to dying on the operating table..

Devine is best known for her time spent in the American Wrestling Association (AWA) fueding with Sherri Martel. She held the AWA Women's Championship on five separate occasions. She won a battle royal to fill the vacated title in 1984. Devine competed at AWA's SuperClash, WrestleRock '86, Battle by the Bay, and War in the Windy City cards. She was recognized as champion several times during that time period, mostly being awarded the belt by default as the number one contender (a common practice of the AWA), and trading it with Martel.

She was very active in the AWA in late 1989 and throughout 1990 as part of the Team Challenge Series, wrestling in mixed tag team matches and in singles matches against Wendi Richter and Magnificent Mimi. She won the title the final time on December 6, 1989 when she defeated Judy Martin to determine the new Women's Champion after Richter vacated the belt.

She also spent time in the Ladies Professional Wrestling Association (LPWA) as The Goddess.

On June 9, 1991, Rockin' Robin defeated Devine to become the first UWF Women's Champion at UWF Beach Brawl, the company's first and only pay-per-view. Devine won the UWF Women's Championship in 1994 after she defeated Tina Moretti, and again in 1996.

Candi Devine occasionally does local shows for LadySports.com and SlamminLadies.com. Candi Devine defeated Bambi on a USWO card on October 14, 2005.

Candi Divine now resides in Nashville where she works as a physical trainer.
