Early Wrestling Career

In 1986, Lisa Moretti went along with one of her friends to an audition held by the newly formed Las Vegas, Nevada-based Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling (GLOW) wrestling promotion. She was successful in her audition and went on to train with Mando Guerrero and debuted in GLOW in the same year as Tina Ferrari. She became a firm fan favourite and it wasn't long before she captured the GLOW championship from Colonel Ninotchka which, for this federation was a crown. Lisa held the GLOW crown for 17 episodes of GLOW television, before losing it back to the woman she'd pinned for it, Ninotchka. She also went on to team with Ashley Cartier, having their tag team known as "T&A" (a name later used in WWE for Trish Stratus' team of Test & Albert). The two of them captured the GLOW tag team titles. Like many of the GLOW wrestlers, she wore a thong type outfit which often led to many a provocative pose in the ring.

David McClaine who was the founder of GLOW, left the company in in late 1986 and started a new promotion, which Lisa followed him to. Powerful Women Of Wrestling, or POWW as it for some reason became known, is where Lisa wrestled under the names Nina and Tina Moretti and she captured the championship belt in this federation on two seperate occasions. Lisa remained with the promotion until it went bankrupt, at which point she wrestled for numerous different promotions like Ladies Sports Club, LPWA, WWOW and others up until 1989. Lisa states that during this time she helped repackage LPWA with Terri Poch (WWE's Tori) for re-release to VHS for Tor Berg. She also says that she accepted a tour to Germany & two tours to Japan, both of which ended up being cancelled. But during this time she mostly supported herself with money brought in from ten different jobs!

World Wrestling Federation

In 1999, Lisa returned to wrestling, signing a contract with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). Her first appearance with the company was as one of The Godfather's "Ho's".

Her official debut came on 13th February, 1999, when she was introduced to the fans as Ivory, a gift her had brought to the company for his tag team partner, Mark Henry, who had repeatedly been spurned by Chyna. Lisa managed the tag team of Mark Henry and D'Lo Brown, assisting them in their feud against Jeff Jarrett & Owen Hart. Her interferance in matches often led to catfights between herself and Debra, Jarrett's manager. Having seen Lisa's work in GLOW and POWW, the WWF team decided to put her back into her wrestling boots and on February 15th, she made her WWF wrestling debut, teaming with D'Lo Brown to take on Jarrett & Debra. The match ended in a no contest when the two ladies got into an unbreakable catfight. Moretti's feud with Debra ended up bringing them to a one-on-one singles match on March 1st, which Lisa won, but only through Debra being disqualified as the Pretty Mean Sisters (P.M.S) headed to the ring and attacked, culminating in Jacqueline delivering a piledriver to Ivory. She feuded with PMS throughout March and on the 28th of that month, she accompanied D'Lo & partner Test to the ring for their tag title match against Jarrett & Hart. While Debra took it upon herself to try and tempt D'Lo, Ivory went right into action and dragged her from the ring apron. This led to an all out shout-fest which included Test and also the members of PMS. Needless to say, D'Lo was left in the ring to fend for himself and ended up being pinned.

Ivory began challenging for the women's title by April, leaving behind her connections with Mark Henry & D'Lo Brown. She succeeded in defeating Debra for the title on June 14th with a little help from female bodybuilder, Nicole Bass, who became Ivory's bodyguard for a short period of time. There were few divas to challenge her for the belt and so she began defending the gold against so called female WWE fans. Before long, Ivory became involved in a feud over the belt with Tori, but Tori was unsuccessful in defeating Ivory for the belt, even in their match at the Summerslam pay per view on August 22nd. The first ever women's hardcore match would follow on September 6th, in which Ivory again walked out the champion after smashing a mirror over Tori's head. Lisa stated that both she and Terri Poch (Tori) got a bonus pay off from Vince McMahon, owner of the WWF, for the women's hardcore match. Another hardcore match followed on September 26th against returning challenger, Luna Vachon. Once again, Ivory came out as the winner, even after interferance from Tori.

In October of 1999, Ivory became involved in a feud against The Fabulous Moolah and he
