Georgia Hase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Georgia Hase was best known as a heel manager of two prominent roller derby teams, the Detroit Devils of the original Roller Games league and Bad Attitude of the syndicated TV series RollerGames and was recognized as the most controversial figure in the history of the game. She had a longtime bitter feud against the legendary Los Angeles Thunderbirds (aka the T-Birds). It was rumored that she tried out for the T-Birds but never got her shot, so went on to skate for, and later manage, the Devils.
[edit] RollerGames controversy
As manager of Bad Attitude, "Mizz" Hase created tremendous controversy when she filed a complaint with the World Alliance of Rollersports (RollerGames' fictional league) commission regarding the induction of Ralphie Valladares (since passed away) into the W.A.R. Hall of Fame, stating that a Hall of Famer could not actively skate. She also said that twin sisters Jennifer and Kristine Van Galder, known the "T-Bird Twins", were drafted as one entity instead of separately and that two other teams initially drafted them. Jennifer wound up going to the Violators and Kristine went to the Maniacs against their wishes until the mess was cleared up. Thanks to fans' voting via a "900" telephone number (years before the internet voting we know today), the Van Galders returned to the T-Birds and Ralphie continued to skate after his Hall Of Fame induction. Hase later tried forcing Valladares to retire by filing a motion for an age limit. This prompted Ralphie to challenge Hase, John "Guru" Drew (Maniacs manager) and "Skull" (Violators manager) to a three-on-one match race, which is believed to have never happened due to the bankruptcy of the show's distributor.
Hase is now retired.
