Nitro Girls

The Nitro Girls were formed in 1997 by Kimberly Page and made their debut in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) on July 14 in Orlando, Florida. Their main focus was to entertain the live fans during the commercials of Monday Nitro. They also regularly performed in short segments on the show.

In late 1999, the group held a competition to find a new member. The results were decided by a series of polls on WCW's website, which narrowed down the field to eight finalists. On the November 8, 1999 edition of NitroStacy Keibler was declared the winner of the contest after receiving the most votes out of the eight finalists; she received a spot on the dance troupe, along with a $10,000 prize.

As the group became more and more involved in storylines, it slowly dissolved, but never officially broke up until 2001 when WCW was sold to the World Wrestling Federation.

In October 1999, Kimberly Page began to appear with husband Diamond Dallas Page. At Halloween Havoc, Diamond Dallas Page wrestled Ric Flair in a strap match. On the November 1, 1999 episode of Nitro, Kimberly quit the group as a result of her husband being injured by David Flair; she then ran him over with her car.

After Kimberly left, the Nitro Girls began to feud with each other; Spice feuded with A.C. Jazz over the new leadership position and won. After Jazz left the group, Tygress attempted to gain control.

On the November 22, 1999 episode of Nitro, Spice and Tygress competed in the first match involving any of the group's members; Tygress defeated Spice after the latter suffered an injury to her eye.

By early 2000, the Nitro Girls broke up and began to go their own way within WCW. Kimberly Page joined The New BloodSharmell became Paisley, a valet for The Artist. Stacy Keibler, the final member to join the group, began appearing as Miss Hancock (the manager for the tag team Standards and Practices).
