 This curvaceous little bombshell is gorgeous, and was a personal favorite. Terri Ann Runnels is a 5 foot tall 100 lb. babe who was born on October 5, 1966. At one time she was married to Dustin Rhoades (WCW) aka Goldust (WWF/E). Marlena and Goldust won the 1997 Slammy Award for "Best Couple."Terri Runnels was originally a make-up artist for CNN, and worked in the same studios in which episodes of WCW were taped. When WCW was purchased by Ted Turner in 1988, booker Ole Anderson invited her to become part of the roster. Terri debuted in 1990 as Miss Alexandra York, an accountant who led the WCW faction known as the York Foundation. The York Foundation was a consortium of wrestlers with finance themed gimmicks, including Terrance Taylor), Richard Morton, Thomas Rich and Michael Wallstreet. Terri carried a laptop (actually a Tandy 100 computer, which at that time had been obsolete for about six years) to ringside which she purportedly calculated the means (and time) necessary for her clients to win matches.  Terri debuted in the World Wrestling Federation at the 1996 Royal Rumble as Marlena, the cigar-smoking manager and wife of her real-life husband Dustin Runnels, then packaged as the eccentric, cross-dressing, bisexual wrestler Goldust. Terri managed Goldust until on November 3, 1997 he revealed his new valet, Luna Vachon.When Chyna came on the scene in 1998, a nice feud began between the two. Chyna more than once got the best of Marlena. Of course that should be expected since Chyna was at least twice the size of the dainty Marlena. After that died down a feud between Terri and Sunny broke out. They decided to settle their differences by having an arm wrestling match. Unfortunately Sunny cheated, which really left no one the actual winner. Terri disappeared from TV, re-emerging in 1998 as the manager of Val Venis.

In November 1998 the jilted Terri formed the stable "Pretty Mean Sisters" (P.M.S) with Jacqueline and Ryan Shamrock, both of whom also had reason to resent men. In one of the more controversial WWF storylines, when D'Lo Brown accidentally knocked Terri from the ring apron to the floor during a match, she claimed to have suffered a miscarriage. This was later found to be untrue, as was the entire pregnancy, but in the meantime Terri used the incident to exert control over D'Lo, who became a virtual servant to P.M.S. The stable eventually grew to encompass Meat, a male wrestler who the ladies constantly abused. P.M.S. gradually drifted apart, and the stable finally split in August 1999.
Terri then began a feud with The Kat because she was jealous of the latter's TV exposure. At WrestleMania 2000, Terri defeated The Kat in a Catfight. The next week on RAW, Terri invited The Kat to a beauty salon. However, Terri spiked The Kat's drink and dyed and cut her hair while she was unconscious. On May 6 at Insurrextion in London, England, Terri lost to The Kat in a Arm Wrestling match, but stripped her topless afterwards.
perpetually contested Hardcore Title when she pinned a dazed Steven Richards, though he immediately pinned her to regain the title. She also began an onscreen romance with Kane which was abandoned when Kane turned heel in June 2003. Terri declined to train as a full-time wrestler, preferring to act as a manager if possible.
