There are a probably more than a handful of readers who cringe at the mere mention of Ivory's name. She was, by all accounts, a grating, obnoxious character with a heavy grudge against the overly-sexualized divas that so many of us came to hold dearest during the Attitude Era.

But holy hell did we need someone like Ivory to step in and restore some dignity to the women's division back then. Not only were non-wrestlers like Debra and The Kat winning the Women's Championship in evening gown and pudding matches, but even legitimate in-ring talent like Chyna was slipping into a glorified sexpot role.

To balance out all this eroticism - and to simultaneously mock Chyna's real-life heat with the Parents Television Council, centred around her decision to appear in Playboy - Ivory portrayed the prudish leader of moral arbiters Right To Censor.

Things got down and dirty real quick, with Ivory's cohorts kayfabe injuring Chyna's neck with a genuinely devastating-looking spike piledriver (no one sold that move better than Chyna.) It was their back-and-forth during the injury storyline that really cemented this feud as one to watch.

Ivory immediately started mocking her injury the next week, sporting a neck brace in pre-taped segments, berating a cardboard cutout of Chyna, and generally acting like a total wang. Chyna would fire back with some of her best promo work ever.

Unfortunately, the culmination of this feud at WrestleMania X-Seven was short-shrifted, but everything that came before it was fantastic.
