B.B. - Barbara Bush (real name Cathy Dingman) was originally hired by Terry Taylor when he still worked for the WWF. Her appearances were few in the short 3 months she was visible on TV but her tremendous "assets" definitely kept Jerry The King drooling when she did appear.

It is rumored that Cathy had been an independent wrestler for some time in Florida, when she was picked up by Titan. Supposedly she was to be introduced as Connie Lingus, although apparently some WWF officials thought it might be a little too racy.  Instead she began being see as one of the EMT's when someone was injured.  But it became obvious that she was more than a "local" EMT when she turned up at a number of WWF venue's.

Finally on Thanksgiving 0f 1999 during Smackdown she made her real debut and a debut it was. Ivory and Jacqueline were involved in the First Annual Gravy Bowl match.  Ivory decided she didn't like the way The Kat was calling the match and pusheed her into the mucky gravy. Kitty began choking on a mushroom and the buxom blonde EMT rushed to the rescue, only to have an incensed Ivory rip her top open.  Yes indeedy, the woman sure had some puppies!

The following Monday she was interviewed by Michael Cole and informed him that all her friends just called her B.B. (hmm.. let's see, "Big Breasts", "Big Bazooms", "Bodacious Body", OK I'll quit) and she challenged Ivory to a Evening Gown match to be held at the Armageddon PPV, at which point Ivory again ripped her top off. B.B. apparently was not shy about showing off her physical attributes since she agreed to a match with Terri where they had to take off an item of clothing when their guy was thrown over the top.  Unfortunately for us viewers Triple H spoiled the fun by covering her up as she was taking off her bra, but believe me he made sure to get a good look first.

It looked like she might be staying around for awhile (the WWF even opened up a section on WWFdivas.com), but then she made a fatal personal error that is said to have cost her her job in the WWF. She was dating Bob Holly while he was still married. It's rumored that Bob was in the process of divorcing his wife when the two met, and they had been dating for some time, while he told people in the company that he had divorced from his wife.  This produced a few weeks of "she's fired, no she's not" rumors and eventually she disappeared from the WWF.

In August she had a real short stint (2 shows) in the WCW as Kwee Wee's girlfriend, while the cameras were backstage, but you couldn't blink or you would have missed it. There is some confusion as to whether she quit or was dismissed.

On August 19th Cathy and Bob Holley were married, but there are currently no plans for her to re-enter the WWF.

11/25/99 Thursday Smackdown - 1st Annual Gravy Bowl
A new tradition was born as Smackdown instituted the Annual Gravy Bowl Match in which the winner receives the Golden Ladle Trophy. The two competitor's for this first annual event were Ivory and Jacqueline with Miss Kitty as the ref. The two opponents must wrestle in a big pool of turkey gravy which makes for some severe slipping and sliding while trying to beat the stuffings (pun intended) out of your opponent. It didn't take Jackie long to DDT Ivory and win the trophy but that wasn't the end of this event.

Ivory took exception to Miss Kitty counting her out and attacked her, pushing her face first into the gravy and holding her there for several seconds. When Kitty finally was able to come up for air she began coughing and choking on a mushroom from the gravy. The buxom blonde EMT that we have seen for the last month or so came out to help the distressed Kitty and gave her the Heimlich manuever which dislodged the object from her throat. Ivory who was still upset went after the EMT, tore her top open, exposing the EMT bountiful breasts (talk about PUPPIES!) and then threw her into the gravy.

Michael Cole introduced Barbara Bush, whose friends call her "B.B.", the EMT who Ivory stripped down on SmackDown! She challenged the Women's Champ to an Evening Gown Match. Ivory came to the ring to run down the registered nurse, as Ivory accused her of just trying to win friends with the "perverts" in the audience. The two went at it, with Ivory tearing off B.B.'s shirt.

12/06/99 Monday Night Raw
Michael Cole was scheduled to interview B.B., the trained nurse who will be part of the Fourway Evening Gown Match this Sunday at Armageddon. But Ivory interrupted the proceedings. Ivory lampooned the buxom blonde, saying what she lacked for brains she made up for in bra size. The Women's Champion said she couldn't wait to strip B.B. down to her bra and panties at Armageddon. The third participant in the match, Jacqueline, appeared and said she beat Ivory in the Gravy Bowl Match on Thanksgiving night, and she'd do it again at Armageddon. Ivory wondered who the fourth participant was, and out came Chyna. The Ninth Wonder of the World said she was already booked, but she signed up Miss Kitty. Kitty was a bit disturbed about the prospect of being stripped to her bra and panties because she said she doesn't wear any panties!

12/12/99 Armageddon PPV - Swimming Pool Evening Gown Match
An Evening Gown match in a swimming pool was to be the deciding factor this time for the WWF Women's Championship belt.  With 4 contenders for the prize (Ivory, Kitty, B.B. & Jacqueline) you knew it was going to be good but the WWF fans certainly got more than they bargained for as the winner actually showed us her "puppies".

Before the match started we got a nice view of B.B. while Michael Cole interviewed her in her dressing room. The match started off by Moolah and Mae Young coming out to the pool as 'special referees', like you need a ref to figure out who kept their gown on! Next came Kitty in a black gown followed by Jackie who was also in a black gown.  As soon as Jackie got on the podium with Kitty the two started to argue and Kitty sent Jackie immediately into the pool!  Next came B.B. in her red gown followed by Ivory.  While Ivory was making her entrance B.B. and Kitty apparently got into it and both ended up in the pool.  As soon as Ivory stood on the podium the 3 remaining women grabbed onto her and threw her right into the middle.

Ivory began pounding on Jackie while B.B. chased Kitty around the pool for several seconds.  Ivory was finally able to pull Jackie's top off while Kitty and B.B. eventually helped Jackie out of her skirt.  Jackie quickly left the pool with her bra almost falling off while Ivory went after her next victim - B.B.  Ivory grabbed her and pushed her head down under water and left her there for several seconds before bringing her back up for some much needed air at which point Miss Kitty helped her as they double teamed the bouyant B.B.  Both women quickly stripped B.B.'s gown off and Kitty swung her trophy around while B.B. made a hasty exit.  Before B.B. could completely escape the clutches of her tormentors Ivory grabbed her on the podium and the crowd went nuts as she tried to pull B.B.'s bra off.  Would we see "puppies"?  Miss Kitty spoiled the fun by pulling Ivory back into the pool before she could complete her mission and the crowd was quite vocal in expressing their displeasure.

Miss Kitty used B.B.'s stripped off gown to choke her last remaining opponent with, as Ivory struggled to ultimately free herself.  As soon as she did Kitty grabbed her head again and dunked her while following up with a rake to the eyes.  This gave Kitty the opportunity to begin stripping Ivory's gown off as Ivory tried one last effort at keeping her attacker from her goal.  Her desperate move backfired though as she ended up on the bottom of the pool with her back turned to Kitty who took complete advantage of the situation and stripped Ivory of her gown.  Ivory ranted and raved as Moolah and Mae Young presented Kitty with the Championship belt.

"Well I told everyone that I would win this and I did, but I know you came here to see me get naked" the the new champion exclaimed.  She took her gown off and dove back into the pool and exited once again before standing on the podium and unhooking her bra to expose her "puppies" to the world.  Of course Sgt. Slaughter had to be a spoil sport and rush in and cover her with a towel but the WWF had finally broken the taboo that they had started in the UK several months ago (Jackie at Capital Carnage PPV).  Once all the excitement settled down Mae Young told us she was going to do the same thing and while Jerry and J.R. were beside themselves thinking about that scene Slaughter saved us that nightmare.  [OWOW] For pics - Click Here.


12/20/99 Monday Night Raw
A definite television first was on the card, as a "Holiday Topless Top-Rope Match" took place on RAW. For the bout, BB was in the corner of Val Venis while Terri was in Hardcore Holly's corner. The rules of the match stated that whenever one of the two superstars was tossed over the top rope, his second would have to remove an article of clothing. The first woman to be topless lost the match for "her man." Unfortunately for BB, Val was tossed twice in the contest, and Triple H was there to make sure that she disrobed. The degenerate giveth, and the degenerate taketh away, though, as he blocked the crowd's view of BB, making it so that he was the only person to see her puppies! [OWOW]


12/26/99 Internet Rumors
World Wrestling Federation employee is reporting that the WWF will be making BB's character much like the character played by Rena Mero (Sable).
[Mitch Newton] 

It seems as if B.B. may be given the old Sable gimmick that "The Kat" was rumored to have. Like Rena Mero towards the end of her WWF career, she'll develop a cocky attitude, and think she's simply the best. But back to "The Kat", that's who she'll most likely feud with. I hate saying The Kat, I hope she just drops that and goes by Miss Kitty again....

01/17/00 Monday Night Raw
The King welcomed Barbara and the other participants of the Miss Royal Rumble Swimsuit Competition into the ring for an interview. BB told Jerry and the fans she was sure they wanted to see 'bigger'. The segment quickly ended when Ivory complained, saying that the fans were perverts for wanting to see this type of event. A brawl between the participants quickly ensued.


01/23/00 Royal Rumble - Miss Royal Rumble Swim Suit Contest
The King interviewed The Kat outside the dressing room, where she told us there was a good possibility that we would see someone topless during the Swim Suit Contest. We did, but it wasn't pleasant, believe me! First to enter the arena was Ivory, who came out with her usual bad attitude. Next out was Terri, who definitely received the loudest response of any of the ladies from the eager crowd. Jacqueline was the third contestant to enter the ring, and was followed by the bountiful Barbara Bush. Luna who obviously did not want to be there was next, with The Kat last but not least.

Now for what everyone had been waiting for! Time to disrobe, as each lady went in the order she arrived at the ring. Ivory threw down her sweat shirt, clearly humiliated that she was even having to participate in this event. Terri threw herself into her participation being the little sex pot that she is! Jacqueline was up next and with the moves that she put on, almost gave Jerry The King a mild heart attack. Barbara was next and although she looked good in her bikini she definitely didn't have the 'flair' of her previous two competitors when it came to showing off. Luna on the other hand made it quite clear to Jerry and the fans that she would never take her clothes off for any reason. Finally it was Miss Kitty's turn to disrobe. The month before she had shown us her 'puppies' at the Armageddon PPV, but this time she limited herself to a bubble wrap bikini.

Just as Jerry said that it was now in the hands of the judges we heard Mae Young's music as she came to the ring. Mae told Jerry and the audience that they came to see 'puppies' and that she would show them 'puppies'. She disrobed and unzipped the front of her suit while Jerry began running in horror from the view he was getting! While the other contestants looked on in shock, Mae actually showed everyone her 'puppies'! Mark Henry rushed into the ring to cover Mae up, unsuccessfully, while she continued to prance around the ring. Mark eventually got her covered up while Jerry got the official vote from the judges.

Jerry announced the winner as Mae Young, who broke lose from Mark once again and this time there was no stopping the woman from showing her 'puppies' before even the WWF censors knew what was happening. Obviously some of the other competitors complained to the judges but most of them took it good naturedly.

02/04/00 Internet News
The WWF announced they were going to open a site up for B.B. on WWF Divas. Some of the photos were taken in WWF New York, some were taken from television appearances on WWF T.V., and others were from a different photo shoot. If you're a fan of B.B., you'll definitely want to check those out. Although there are only 9 photos for the Diva, it's worth the look. Also featured on B.B.'s site are videos, articles and audio clips of her in the WWF. [Kevin Gregg]


02/10/00 Thursday Smackdown
Edge and Christian took on the Dudley Boyz. Using their unparalleled teamwork, the young brothers were able to earn the victory, getting them a tiny bit of revenge on Buh Buh and D-Von for possibly costing them the Tag Team Titles last Monday night. After the match, Buh Buh appeared to be injured, bringing out the EMTs. It was all a set-up to get at B.B. though! With the blonde beauty tending to the 'fallen' superstar, he sprang to life unharmed and promptly powerbombed her through a table! [wwf.com]


03/04/00 Internet Rumor
BB has been fired from the World Wrestling Federation reports Wade Keller of the PWTorch.com. She was released after it was found that she was dating Bob Holly while he was still married. Holly was in the process of divorcing his wife when the two met. The two have been dating for some time but he had told people in the company that he had divorced from his wife.

Kathy Dingman has been off World Wrestling Federation television after doing a angle with the Dudley Boys where she was powerbomed through a table. She joined the company in late 1999 and played the role of a EMT for several weeks until they began to slowly give her a push at the November 23rd Smackdown tapings that aired on Thanksgiving.

At this point Bob Holly remains with the company as officials look down on this sort of situation. He has been off television due to a muscle tear suffered at a house show.


03/05/00 Internet Rumor
Dave Meltzer reports that Kathy Dingman has yet to be released from her the World Wrestling Federation as she remains on the company payroll. We had reported in the March 3rd issue that she has received her full release, which has yet to happen. There are no plans being made for her in the future and her release could be immenent if she does not receive a role.

Reports of her relationship with Bob Holly are true but her release from the company is not because of it. Reports are that the company is not happy with how she has came across on television until this point. She has been kept off television to sell the table bump she took from the Dudley Boys a few weeks ago.

Reports in the past were that she was well liked by many in the company for her quiet demeanor.


03/06/00 Internet Rumor
Apparently the WWF is putting out red herrings in regards to the truth about the BB situation. She may have actually been abruptly fired immediately after the Dudley table bump, once it was confirmed she was physically OK. Many influental members of the WWF locker room were unhappy with the situation with Bob Holly and BB, and were not shy about letting it be known. [Randy Marston]


03/12/00 Internet Rumor
BB is still with the WWF despite the rumors we have heard. She is only off tv right now because they are still selling her pretend injury that she suffered at the hands of the Dudleys.


03/24/00 Internet Rumor
In an interesting piece of WWF news, the B.B./Bob Holly story lives! Apparently, now that this whole thing is cleared up that B.B. is not fired, Holly has requested to work a program with her on-air. It's obvious that the two are dating, but Hardcore has proposed an idea to booking that would move their relationship into an angle splitting Crash and Bob's partnership. WWF is said to be willing to grant Holly the wish, strictly for the fact that he's been with the company for so long, however, Vince and the Booking Committee may send B.B. down to Memphis to tone up all-around.

06/02/00 Internet Rumor
Barbara Bush is still under WWF contract. There are no plans to use her anytime soon though. [Mark Jackson]


08/01/00 Internet Rumor
The red-headed woman you see with WCW star Kwee Wee is none other than Kathy Dingman, aka B.B. This role was going to be played by April Hunter, but she wasn't used due to the fact WCW found that her website was basically a XXX site. [Jon Farrer]


08/11/00 Internet Rumor
The Papaya role which went to Kathy Dingman only lasted two weeks before it was given to someone else.


08/25/00 Internet Rumor
Former World Wrestling Federation Hardcore Champion, Bob Holly married Kathy Dingman this past Saturday in New York. Kathy Dingman (artist formerly known as B.B.) is not expected back in WWF anytime soon. Kathy recently took up a position in World Championship Wrestling, but due to several friends telling her not to stay in WCW, she quit the company. The World Wrestling Federation had somewhat success with pushing B.B. into the Woman's Division, but with Lita, Stephanie, Trish, and Tori, the WWF feels that they don't need to bring in anymore women.
