Wrestling Obscurity: Nidia

Continuing with the theme of Tough Enough. We take a look at Nidia, the other winner of Tough Enough Season 1. After winning, Nidia debuted on SmackDown on the June 6, 2002, in a backstage segment with the Hurricane and Jamie Noble, which Noble and Nidia then became an on-screen couple undergoing a trailer trash gimmick. They were both playing as heels, with Nidia leading Noble to several wins, due to interference during the matches. At the King of the Ring she led Noble to winning the Cruiserweight Championship from The Hurricane. She then began to feud with Torrie Wilson leading to many solo and mixed tag team matches with Guenard and Noble against Wilson and various other cruiserweights, including Funaki, Billy Kidman, Rey Mysterio, and Brian Kendrick.
On the October 16, 2003 episode of Smackdown, Nidia was blinded by Tajiri during a match between Tajiri and Noble, after which Tajiri spewed his "Green mist" into her face. Storyline-wise, this encounter resulted in a physical 'injury' to Nidia. After recovering, Nidia started appearing at ringside with sunglasses on. During this time, Noble would throw Nidia in front of various opponents at a match's climax, to both save himself and let him later accuse them of "hitting a woman", etc. Later in this storyline, Rey Mysterio revealed to Nidia that Noble was exploiting her in the aforementioned manner, resulting in Nidia turning against Noble. The two feuded, culminating in a match at No Way Out in 2004 in which Noble had to wear a blindfold. True to character, Noble cheated to win as he removed his blindfold during the match.
Nidia was drafted to the Raw on March 22, 2004. Where she became a face, who claimed to be excited that she was drafted to the Raw, where she can wrestle for the Women's Championship. She made her debut match on the March 29, 2004 episode of Raw, defeating Molly Holly. She then tag teamed regularly with Stacy Keibler and Victoria against heels Trish Stratus, Gail Kim, Molly Holly, and Jazz. Did she wrestle for the Women’s Championship? Nope. Instead Nidia was released from her WWE contract on November 3, 2004 along with several other performers.
