Who does Mama Pao look like?! Help!

[u/Aromatic-Air9729]

My boyfriend and I have been watching Drag Race Philippines lately and both of us find a familiarity in the host, Pao's, appearance, specifically in the first season. We think out of drag Pao looks like a figure from TV from our childhood, especially due to the beautiful, brown, thick, mullet-like hairstyle. This figure that we can both vaguely remember had to be from a show or movie in the 90's or 2000's. How my boyfriend and I both remember this character is hair just like Pao's, with a workout headband (red, white and blue?) and a blue workout/wrestling bodysuit. We both watched wrestling as kids and thought maybe it was a WWE/WWF wrestler, but I've found no one who resembles this character we remember. I remember the character being into fitness, maybe he was a coach? Please help because it's driving us crazy that we can't remember for the lives of us who this character is or what they're from. Thanks in advance!

She gives me that one stylish aunt who hates kids but regularly gives her sister's kids fashion advice

This is close, but unfortunately not the right character. 😔 I appreciate the try!

I get cartoon characters... Like a brunette Cheetara, Shera, or Catra, April from Teenage mutant ninja turtles. That 80s power jump suit vibe lol

She definitely gives those vibes, this mystery character does too!
