10 Times WWE Wasted Female Talent

10. Ivory

Lisa Marie Moretti had a rather unique start to her WWF career. First appearing as one of The Godfather's hos in January 1999, Moretti was signed and repackaged as Ivory less than a month later.

Introduced to fans as Mark Henry and D'Lo Brown's new valet, Ivory began to transition into an in-ring performer after a number of Inter-Gender Tag Team matches. A feud with fellow up and comer Tori and subsequent heel turn truly let Moretti shine. The two even took part in WWE's first all-female Hardcore match.

Unfortunately, the climate of the women's division at the time was woefully unsuitable for a performer like Ivory. Bikini contests, pudding pool matches and all manner of titillating stipulations detracted from the pure wrestling skill that she clearly possessed.

Along the way Ivory morphed in to a utility heel for the WWF, becoming a key component of the Right To Censor group before defecting to the Alliance during the Invasion angle.

With Ivory, the WWF had a student of the business capable of solid matches with a variety of opponents. As her own career slowed down, she seemed more than happy to pass on her knowledge and mould the division for years to come.
