My Take
Wendi Richter is more than a wrestling pioneer to me; she is a study in reinvention. Headlining the WWF in the 1980s and earning a WWE Hall of Fame nod would be legacy enough, but what truly impresses me is that she became an occupational therapist afterward. Going from a body taking punishment in the ring to a career healing other people's bodies is a beautiful arc. I respect performers who can walk away and build something meaningful elsewhere, and Richter clearly poured the same seriousness into both lives.
