#5 Beth Phoenix got her nickname from Sex and the City
With her amateur wrestling background, Beth Phoenix is an imposing figure. At the same time, she is gorgeous in her own way, something she wanted to capture in her character when she was wrestling in WWE’s developmental territory. To get noticed as a standout character in OVW, Beth Phoenix wanted to be seen as a ‘beautiful terror’ and hence came up with the name ‘Glamazon’.
Here’s the funny story: it wasn't an original term. She first heard Sarah Jessica Parker use the term in the HBO series- Sex and the City. WWE liked it so much that when she was called up to the main roster, they asked her to use it as her official gimmick.
With the name ‘Glamazon’, Beth Phoenix wanted to break down barriers and deliver the message that strong women can be beautiful.
