If the Otis entry had you screaming, 'Who wouldn't remember that push, you fool?!', then here's one to make up for it. Tough Enough's Nidia earned plaudits for her work as "trailer trash" alongside Jamie Noble on SmackDown between 2002-2004. Together, the pair were often comedy gold.

Nothing good lasts forever in wrestling.

Nidia and Noble parted ways following a match at No Way Out '04 (which Noble cheated to win), and it became clear that the Diva needed something fresh. She couldn't continue with the trailer park gimmick, so WWE moved her sideways to Raw and tried to lean on Nidia's Hispanic heritage in promos.

She actually defeated Molly Holly during her debut on the brand in March, and then entered the Women's Title scene for a short spell. Nidia worked matches against everyone from Trish Stratus and Jazz to Gail Kim before quietly being released in November 2004.

Her repackage job and push didn't work.
