Shanon Sexton, better known by her stage name Susan Sexton, is a former professional wrestler. Sexton was born in Perth, Western Australia. She was trained by Ali Musa the Turk.
Sexton went to the United States in 1975 and began working for Mildred Burke.[5] After briefly working for Burke, she began working independent cards around the world. In 1989, she worked for the American Wrestling Association.[6]
Sexton joined the Ladies Professional Wrestling Association and was the first woman awarded the LPWA Singles Championship. She defended the title against numerous opponents. In 1990, World Championship Wrestling recognized Sexton (then the LPWA champion) as the World Women's Champion. Sexton defended the title against Bambi at Clash of the Champions XII: Fall Brawl '90.[7]
She lost the title to Lady X on 31 January 1991 in Laughlin, Nevada.[8]
Sexton has relocated to Los Angeles, where after a brief time as a "psychic" and a tarot card reader, she now helps train new wrestlers and also has a writing career.
Sexton was featured in the 1989 film American Angels- Baptism of Blood[9] in which most of the cast were members of the now defunct Powerful Women of Wrestling.
