Elsie Schevchenko (December 2, 1929 – April 17, 2013), better known as Ella Waldek (Mecouch), was an American professional wrestler.
[8] Janet Wolfe died after a body slam she had received from Waldek during a tag team match, though she was not injured by the move.
Though Wolfe's death was eventually ruled to be an accident, police initially arrested Waldek and the other participants in the match—Mae Young and Eva Lee.
As a result of the incident, people attended wrestling events to see Waldek, who had to endure crowd chants of "murderer" directed at her.
[8][10] Her professional career had apparently taken its toll though, as she had been rendered unable to have children due to a kick she had taken to the solar plexus.
