#10 - Chyna
From the perspective of her being something unique and an 'attraction' at a time where most women's wrestlers were buxom blondes, Chyna was a bonafide star. Forget her career in porn after leaving wrestling, she was one of the break-out stars of the Attitude Era as both a women's wrestler and a genuine attraction.
She was the first woman to ever enter the Royal Rumble and had a memorable feud with Jeff Jarrett, not to mention her involvement in top tier storylines with D-X. While other female wrestlers have doubtlessly been more attractive and/or more talented in the ring, very few climbed quite as high as Chyna did.
That made her fall from grace all the more painful to watch.
#9 - Maria Kanellis
A product of the Tough Enough/Diva Search factory, Maria had a girl-next door, ditzy charm that made her stand out from the get go. Before AJ was breaking hearts with her own take on girl next door, Maria was a delicious treat to watch.
Her ditzy gimmick was initially invented to cover for her nervousness when on the mic, but her recent work in Ring of Honor shows that she's a student of the valet game and gets how the business works in many ways.
Maria was the last WWE Diva to pose for Playboy while with the company. Go Google those pics.
#8 - Torrie Wilson
Another gal who posed in Playboy (with Sable, no less), Torrie Wilson was one of the two WCW Divas to make a splash upon joining the WWF during the InVasion storyline. Perhaps not as good looking as Stacy, Torrie was nonetheless easy on the eyes.
Like Stacy, she was never much of an in ring worker, but did embark on some memorable (for the wrong reasons) feuds, including a feud over her father with Dawn Marie. Yuck!
#7 - Gall Kim
The highest ranked current TNA worker, Gail Kim can be largely credited with building and maintaining TNA's Knockouts Division. Her early championship run and memorable feud with Awesome Kong put the division on the map, and to this day she is giving it her all both in the ring and on the mic in feuds with Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, and Tiffany.
Kim has twice tried her luck in the WWE without the kind of success she perhaps deserves, but remains one of the most talented female workers of her generation.
#6 - Awesome Kong
Inspired by the likes of Aja Kong and Bull Nakano, Awesome Kong is a one of a kind female worker whose size, strength, and wrestling ability would make her a very plausible threat to most male workers.
Bursting onto the scene in TNA after years in the indies and Japan, Kong made an immediate impact and embarked on an unbeaten streak that helped solidify the division and put over incoming talents such as Taylor Wilde in the process.
Kong had a brief but unfortunate run in the WWE as Kharma, marred by a miscarriage that brought her run to an end before it ever really got started. She does, however, hold the honour of being only the third woman to ever participate in a Royal Rumble match - tossing Dolph Ziggler out in her debut.
