1. Chyna
This one goes without saying for the Hall of Fame. Chyna was another face during the Attitude Era that made big waves during her time with the company. She debuted as Triple H’s enforcer in 1997 and was one of the founding members of Degeneration X. Chyna wasn’t afraid to fight with men and she also manhandled the women at the time.
The accolades Chyna racked up between 1997 and 2001 are some that have yet to be matched. She would be the first woman to enter the Royal Rumble in 1999. She also was the first woman to compete in the King of the Ring Tournament and a contender for the WWF Championship. Chyna would win the Intercontinental Championship from Jeff Jarrett in 1999, making her the first woman to hold the Championship. She held the Championship twice, along with the WWF Women’s Championship once in 2001. The Women’s Championship was vacated after she left the company.

The discussion of her entry into the Hall of Fame is pretty controversial even before she tragically passed away in 2016. Between her failed relationship with Triple H and her adult film career, the company didn’t want to tread hot water. While the company did acknowledge the career she had after her death, there’s still no indication that she will be posthumously inducted into the Hall of Fame.
