During the 90s and early 00s, Lee managed a number of fighters after making connections in both Japan and the U.S., that allowed her to get a number of clients into the UFC and Pancrase. She was best known as the manager of Dan Severn for several years, including during UFC heyday, and also managed fighters like Shane Carwin, Nate Marquardt and Ron Waterman at different points in their careers. She was very close with a number of Florida based wrestlers, including Sean Waltman, who was very upset yesterday and had to work through it on Raw last night.
