20 WWE Women's Wrestlers You Totally Don't Remember

5. B.B.

Barbara 'B.B.' Bush’s WWE run was hugely forgettable. In 1999, she came-in as a ringside nurse who once helped Road Dogg remove a bear trap from his leg, and assisted Steve Austin when he was infamously ran over by Rikishi.

She engaged in a brief feud with Ivory after being thrown into a pool of gravy on the Thanksgiving 1999 edition of SmackDown, and became a regular fixture in the show’s more demeaning segments. Swimsuit competitions, swimming pool matches, and a “Holiday Topless Top-Rope Match": B.B. contested them all, and there were times where it felt like she only existed for Jerry Lawler and Vince McMahon to lust over.

Reports suggest that B.B. was never comfortable with her role in WWE, and her career with the company lasted less than a year. She appeared briefly in WCW and TNA afterwards, but was never treated with any real respect in those companies either. The Attitude Era’s most famous nurse hasn’t appeared in pro-wrestling for close to 15 years, and being used almost exclusively as eye candy probably doesn’t help in that regard.
