10 WWE Hall Of Fame 2017 Inductions That Must Happen

6. The Women's Wrestler - Chyna

Chyna has become just as well known for her off-screen troubles as her in-ring contributions, and that's a shame. Unfortunately, her murky departure, issues with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, and involvement in the adult entertainment industry make her a difficult induction. In terms of impact, however, Chyna's addition is long overdue, and with her recent passing, it's time WWE swallowed their pride and acknowledged this.

Chyna completely redefined what it meant to be a women's wrestler in WWE. Training under the legendary Killer Kowalski, she was brought to the company at Triple H and Shawn Michaels' behest in the late '90s. Originally serving as DX's bodyguard, Chyna soon transitioned to an in-ring role, and while never the most refined wrestler in the world, she notched two Intercontinental Title reigns and a lengthy spell as Women's Champion throughout her run.

Fans didn't even blink when she started defeating talented male wrestlers, such was her impact. Chyna was entirely believable as a pioneering wrestler who could go toe-to-toe with anyone in the sport, regardless of gender, and there'll never be another like her. It's far too easy to forget just how over she was at her peak, and it's a tragedy that she was never able to settle her differences with the company prior to her 2016 passing.

A Triple H induction would represent the ultimate acknowledgement, and finally lay their longstanding issues to rest.
