No Diva ever contributed to females proving their equality to men than Chyna, who not only competed against her male counterparts but enjoyed a great deal of success while doing so. The first woman to ever enter the Royal Rumble match and King of the Ring tournament, she garnered attention for her tremendous performances against the men. Her matches with Triple H, Mankind, Jeff Jarrett and Chris Jericho established her as a once-in-a-lifetime performer. She was good and not just for a woman. She was legitimately good, something that gets downplayed today due to her sordid post-wrestling activities. A pioneer and one of the biggest stars of the Attitude Era, Chyna deserves far more credit, recognition and respect for what she accomplished while hanging with some of the most talented Superstars of that generation. Her work with Jericho, in particular, far exceeded expectations and was a major part of helping to get fans to accept the newcomer, who had migrated from WCW just months earlier. A huge star in an era chocked full of them, Chyna is deserving of Hall of Fame recognition that, sadly, may never come. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xyjsu3_chris-jericho-vs-chyna-with-miss-kitty_sport Which other great battle of the sexes moments deserve to be on this list?

Erik Beaston is a freelance pro wrestling writer who likes long walks in the park, dandelions and has not quite figured out that this introduction is not for Match.com. He resides in Parts Unknown, where he hosts weekly cookouts with Kane, The Ultimate Warrior, Papa Shango and The Boogeyman. Be jealous.
