Through all the talk that both Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are prepared to go to bat for the females under contract to WWE, going against the age-old WWE mentality that women are a side show rather than a featured attraction, it should never be forgotten that the likes of longtime manager Harvey Wippleman was once WWF Women's Champion.

That's right, the diminutive valet pulled the wool over the eyes of The Kat - in storyline at least - on one episode of Monday Night Raw in January, 2000, bagging the Women's prize in the process. Going under a cunning disguise as 'Hervina', Wippleman was outed afterwards and promptly lost the title to Jacqueline on the next episode of Smackdown.

WWE would later try something similar at WrestleMania XXV, dressing up Santino Marella as his "sister" known as 'Santina'. Marella would never get as far as winning the title however, making Harvey Wippleman the first man in history to go from managing The Giant Gonzales to winning the Women's Title.
