10 People WWE Should Remove From The Hall Of Fame
5. Sunny
Tammy Lynn 'Sunny' Sytch, together with fellow prototypical Diva Sable, reconfigured the landscape of women's wrestling into one somehow even less edifying than the nothingness it replaced, establishing female figures as mere titillation to a sexually awakening audience for the best part of the next two decades.
Although their in-ring acumen was non-existent, originals of oogle Sunny and her compeer brought a sizable upside to WWE in the mid-'90s, with the latter's popularity eventually outstripping the company as she went out and stripped for Playboy magazine's most successful issue ever.
In 2011, the 'Women's Evolution' was a million miles away, and so too any concerns over inducting a woman for the most part presented as a mere sex object. Sable's repeated snubs forced a compromise, and Sunny found herself with a ring around her finger.
Ironically, the same reason Sytch went into the Hall is effectively the same reason WWE likely regret it today. Without even considering the general downward spiral of her personal life since, including multiple DUI arrests and unsavoury comments towards the current crop of female superstars, Sunny's transition into adult videos left the company with egg on their face (and elsewhere).
WWE's hypocrisy is a source of contention whenever they've defended the decision to omit the trailblazing Chyna for her own porn career prior to sneaking her in through the back door in 2019. Dishonest though the line is, the promotion have a point: any search for 'Sunny' inevitably dredges up headlines describing her as 'WWE Hall of Famer and porn star.' If they could remove her without drawing attention to the reasons why, they would.
