Professional wrestling career edit Early career (1975–1985) edit Seymour was trained by The Fabulous Moolah in 1975 right after she finished high school.[3] She was originally from Florida, but because Moolah thought she looked a little bit Hawaiian, Seymour was given the ring name Leilani Kai,[5] as in the Hawaiian language Leilani translates to "heavenly flowers" and Kai to "ocean water".[2] Her fellow wrestlers also bestowed upon her the nickname "The Hawaiian Princess" during her early career.[3] Four weeks after beginning her training, Moolah sent her on a two-week tour of Alaska.[1] Over the next few years she worked for promotions throughout the United States, including in Oklahoma, Minnesota, California, and New York.[1] It was in 1979 in North Carolina, that Kai first began working with Judy Martin, who would be her future tag team partner.[1][6] World Wrestling Federation (1985–1989) edit Women's Champion (1985) edit See also: Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection On July 23, 1984, Wendi Richter defeated The Fabulous Moolah at MTV's The Brawl to End it All for the WWF Women's Championship, ending what was billed as the longest championship reign in professional wrestling history (Moolah's 28-year reign, though in reality she had won and lost the title on numerous occasions and Richter actually ended a 7-year reign).[7][8] As a result, in early 1985, Kai—who had been trained by Moolah—wrestled Richter and defeated her for the title at The War to Settle the Score, with Moolah in her corner and singer Cyndi Lauper in Richter's corner.[7] Richter, however, regained the title at the first-ever WrestleMania one month later.[9] These matches were part of the WWF's "Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection", an era that combined both music and professional wrestling.[7][9] The Glamour Girls (1985–1989) edit Main article: The Glamour Girls Kai was then paired with Judy Martin, and the duo won the WWF Women's Tag Team Championship from the champions Velvet McIntyre and Desiree Petersen in Egypt in August 1985, although this match's existence has been disputed.[6][10][11] Meanwhile, in August 1986, Kai traveled to Japan where she won All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling's All Pacific Championship from Chigusa Nagayo, whom she also lost the title to in April 1987.[11] In November 1987, Kai and Martin became known as The Glamour Girls, and she underwent an image change that involved bleaching her dark hair platinum blonde at the suggestion of their manager Jimmy Hart.[1][11] 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.[12] Martel's team—Martel, the Glamour Girls, Dawn Marie, and Donna Christanello—lost to The Fabulous Moolah's team—Moolah, Velvet McIntyre, Rockin' Robin, and the Jumping Bomb Angels (Noriyo Tateno and Itsuki Yamazaki).[12] Kai and Martin feuded in 1988 with Japanese imports the Jumping Bomb Angels for the Women's Tag Team Championship.[6] The two teams staged a two out of three falls match at the first Royal Rumble event in 1988, with the Jumping Bomb Angels capturing the gold.[6] Kai and Martin recaptured the title months later in June 1988 before the belts were once again abandoned in 1989 when the company lost interest in the women's division.[6] Ladies Professional Wrestling Association (1990–1991) edit The Glamour Girls then surfaced in the newly formed Ladies Professional Wrestling Association (LPWA), managed by Adnan El Kassey.[6]
