www.wrestlingnewsdesk.com has EXCLUSIVELY obtained the very first sneak peak of the controversial photos of Nancy Benoit to be published by Larry Flynt's Hustler Magazine (WRESTLING NEWS DESK'S WORLD EXCLUSIVE ON NANCY BENOIT ).
 
 
Hustler Magazine's decision to run the Nancy Benoit pictures has been met with virtual shock from the wrestling community. Nancy, who had been removed from the spotlight, with the notable exception of her high profile in-ring embrace with her husband after Wrestlemania XX went off the air, has become known more for being one of the victims of the brutal double murder suicide that took place on that fateful weekend in June, 2007.
 
But Nancy Elizabeth Toffoloni Daus (later -Sullivan-Benoit) was a prominent character in the professional wrestling business, and was quite the sex symbol for many years. Her contoversial appearances in Florida as the BDSM themed slave of Kevin Sullivan known as The Fallen Angel were highlighted by scantily dressed (or undressed) pictures of her in the 1980s wrestling magazines.
 
By the time she appeared in WCW as "Woman," she had evolved her character, debuting by dressing as the nerdy Robin Green until she doublecrossed Rick Steiner for the tag team of Doom (Butch Reed and Ron Simmons).
 
In ECW, she debuted with then-husband Sullivan, but soon became The Sandman's manager, lighting his cigarette and presenting him with beer, not to forget her sensual stroking of the Singapore Cane.
 
Her return to WCW, where she was one of several managers for The 4 Horsemen (which included Benoit),
will be remembered as the time in her life that her husband scripted a storyline for her to leave him for Chris Benoit, and life ultimately imitated art.
