Nowadays, WWE like to talk at length about the importance of women's wrestling to their product. Borrowing a featured member of the previous entry, Stephanie McMahon can often be heard crowing about the female revolution in the organisation. It's true that women's matches have improved lately, but things weren't always that way.

Indeed, so respected was Chyna that she mixed it up with men more than her fellow females, a true rarity in pro wrestling. For the purpose of selling Jeff Jarrett's misogynistic views, he challenged her to a 'Good Housekeeping' encounter at the No Mercy 1999 event.

Only adding to the weirdness, Jarrett is rumoured to have held Vince McMahon up for more money in order to do the job. His contract running down and with WCW on the horizon, Jarrett got what he wanted, but vehemently denies these accusations to this day.

A variety of household items, such as an ironing board and broom were part of the fray. Chyna picked up the win, but it'd be foolish of anybody to claim sexism wasn't part of this match. In fact, it was even part of the storyline!
