10 WWE Divas You Totally Forgot Ever Existed

7. Joy Giovanni

Joy Giovanni Despite failing to win the 2004 Diva Search, Joy Giovanni was offered a role on Smackdown... as a massage therapist. Well, you've gotta start somewhere. When Luther Reigns made a pass at her, though, The Big Show stepped up to defend her honor €“ and what followed was a budding romance to melt even the stoniest of hearts. Well, not really. She more served as The Big Show's Achilles heel, the reason for him to come down, make a stand, and have his vulnerability exploited. A convenient plot device, really. Giovanni would go on to have a feud of her own with Amy Weber (more on her later), but when Weber left the company, Giovanni was high and dry. She showed potential for a comeback, winning a four-way contest (over, among others, Michelle McCool) to be named Rookie Diva of the Year, but by the middle of 2005, she was released. Still, Giovanni would return to make one more appearance, in the WrestleMania 25 women's battle royal. You know, the one Santino won? The one right after the Kid Rock concert? A fitting end to her career.
