It's a toss-up between wishing Lita had a longer career in her own (not exactly female-wrestler-friendly) era, and wishing that she came along a few years later, so that she could partake in the women's revolution that has changed the way WWE presents their female talents. Either way, you get the point: we needed more Lita.

Starting out as a valet, the eventual four-time Women's Champion was admittedly a less polished wrestler than her present-day counterparts (although she was perhaps more daring). Actually, that's part of the reason it's such a shame she retired aged just 31, having battled neck problems for the better part of five years: we'll never know just how great she could have become - especially given the opportunity to work with some of the women for whom she helped pave the path.
