In very sad news, former bodybuilder Melissa Coates, best known for her role as ECW legend Sabu’s valet under the name Super Genie has passed away aged 50. As of writing, her cause of death has not been made public. However, she had been suffering from poor health, and several months ago was hospitalized with several artery blockages, and doctors had no other choice but to amputate her left leg.
After receiving worldwide publicity by appearing on the front covers of several magazines, including Muscle&Fitness, and Ironman, Coates would begin her pro wrestling journey where she initially trained under Killer Kowalski before becoming part of WWE’s developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling between 2005 and 2007.
Since then, she wrestled on the independent circuit until moving into a valet role once she met and began dating Sabu in 2014. Her last high-profile appearances were for Impact Wrestling, where she accompanied Sabu throughout his 2019 and 2020 run.
