Tori
Tori might be the most criminally forgotten woman in WWE history. She was an incredibly underrated professional wrestler that just happened to be working for WWE when the women’s division was essentially background noise.
She had some title matches, including a wild Women’s Title brawl that took her and Ivory all throughout the backstage area; it was actually one of the first women’s matches I ever saw as a kid and showed me that female wrestlers were definitely not afraid to go hardcore.

While championship success was not in the picture for Tori, she would leave her mark on WWE in a wholly unique way. She had spent months as Kane’s on-screen girlfriend, but would make herself an Attitude era icon when she turned on him to run off with the Big Red Machine’s former best friend and now arch rival, X-Pac.
At the side of X-Pac, she was now a fully-fledged member of D-Generation X, joining only Chyna and Stephanie McMahon as female members of the group. D-X, of course, naturally joined forces with Vince and Shane McMahon to form the McMahon-Helmsely Faction, a group that ran roughshod over WWE in the absence of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.
Tori’s presence at ringside generated massive amounts of heat for D-X and often made her the focus of Bubba Ray Dudley, who was obsessed with putting women through tables at the time. Her infectious charisma and impact on some of the Attitude era’s most successful years should be more than enough to earn Tori a spot among wrestling’s finest.
