Faye's wrestling style was as rugged as it was relentless. She was the kind of competitor who would leave everything in the ring, never backing down from a fight. Her powerbomb was a signature move that sent opponents crashing to the mat time and again.
Despite her imposing physique, Faye was known for her charisma and crowd-pleasing antics. She was the people's champion, a hero to fans who adored her unapologetic attitude and unwavering determination.
Sadly, Bertha Faye's life came to an abrupt end on July 27, 2001, when she succumbed to heart failure at the age of 40. Her passing left a void in the world of professional wrestling, but her legacy lives on as an unstoppable force who left it all in the ring.
