39 Best Wrestlers From 39 Different Countries

16. Lithuania: Aksana

Birthplace: Alytus, Lithuanian SSR

Former WWE diva Aksana was one of those in-ring talents who, in fairness, would always try to do her best. The problem for her, and for those watching, was that she was pretty awful when it came to bell time.

Luckily for Aksana, she’s the biggest pro wrestling name to come out of the small country of Lithuania. The fact that the highlight of her wrestling career was being Teddy Long’s eye candy says it all.

Since leaving the WWE in 2014, the real life Živilė Dvareckaitė has gone back to her fitness modelling and bodybuilding roots. Surely if any other pro wrestler comes out of Lithuania, they’ll automatically trump Aksana on this list.
