WWE: 5 women we want to see in the Hall of Fame in 2020
By Dorathy Gass
Miss Elizabeth
A nice little storyline emerged back in 1985 during Randy “The Macho Man” Savage debuted, where all World Wrestling Federation managers were vying to offer their services to him.
In the end, after much anticipation, he announced who was managing him in an overly dramatic segment on WWF Primetime Wrestling in August of that year, and Miss Elizabeth came down to the ring and was first introduced to WWF fans.
And we all fell in love and fast. She was beautiful, glamourous, a woman of few words, but it was her facial expressions and body movement that spoke huge volumes and helped progress storylines.
While some may argue that she really did nothing for sports entertainment (and there are those who believe that), Miss Elizabeth’s mere presence and the way she carried herself created a huge impact in the “Golden Era” of professional wrestling.
Before Elizabeth, there were really no women who managed men on WWF screens, and she ushered in the concept that females could manage and be at ringside. As the “first lady of wrestling”, Miss Elizabeth more than deserves a HOF spot at some point in time.
Chyna

Yes, she’s already been inducted into the WWE HOF; however, Chyna needs a ring and slot for her work as a single competitor, outside a faction.
While it was nice that she was included in Degeneration X’s induction in 2019, the impacts and contributions she made on her own in terms of the women’s wrestling evolution and sports entertainment as a whole, needs to be recognized by a WWE HOF induction of her very own.
From entering the 1999 Men’s Royal Rumble, to becoming the first female (ever) to qualify for WWE King of the Ring tourney, to snagging the Intercontinental Championship, and becoming the first women ever to be a number one contender for the WWF title.
She challenged her male colleagues to new levels, and carved out a path for other females to take the main spotlight when it comes to a WWE.
Would the “The Man” even exist if it wasn’t for the “Ninth Wonder of the World?”
