10 WWE Stars You Totally Don’t Remember Appearing At WrestleMania

1. Joy Giovanni

A product of WWE's torrid mid-2000s female division, Joy Giovanni was involved in very little during her full time tenure on the roster, and managed to squeeze in a WrestleMania appearance despite no longer being on the company's payroll.

After finishing third in the catastrophic 2004 Diva Search, Giovanni found permanent residence on Smackdown was involved in lukewarm storylines with The Big Show, Kurt Angle and JBL during a particularly tepid spell for the blue brand.

First as a love interest for The Big Show and then briefly attempting to be a wrestler, Joy's performances on the microphone and in-ring were shambolic, which was hardly a surprise considering the zero training she'd had at any point before entering the industry just six months earlier.

She remained fodder for the usual bikini contests et al before her release in mid-2005, but would amazingly make an appearance at the 'Show of Shows' thanks to WrestleMania 25's 'Miss WrestleMania Battle Royal'.

Alongside Molly Holly, Sunny, Jackie Gayda, Torrie Wilson and Victoria, Joy was a returning Diva given zero profile in the degrading farce eventually won by Santino Marella in drag.
