WWE: 10 Women Who Deserve To Be In The Hall Of Fame

9. Ivory

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6ldoowJvHE From 1999 to 2005, no one in the Women's Division could match Ivory on the microphone. Gifted with an incredibly sharp wit and an even sharper tongue, Ivory was one of the few Divas who could walk the walk and talk the talk. In 1999, with the exit of Sable and a stronger emphasis on beauty over brawn, it was Ivory who helped keep the wrestling portion of the tattered Women's Division alive! Before Victoria, Trish Stratus, and Lita began wielding cookie sheets, metal trash cans, and kendo sticks; it was Ivory who became the true "Hardcore Diva," winning the first Divas' Hardcore Match and even engaging the brutal Luna Vachon in a no holds barred battle at Unforgiven 1999. It wasn't until midway through 2000 that the three-time Women's Champion truly hit her stride as the lone female of The Right to Censor. Being part of The RTC allowed her talking abilities to berate her fellow Divas and the fans while also getting the chance to showcase her serious wrestling ability. While Ivory had a pretty memorable run in WWE, she should also be considered for induction for her accolades in wrestling prior to becoming a Diva. Trained by Mando Guerrero, Ivory competed under the name Tina Ferrari for the original GLOW: Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling where she won the GLOW Championship and the Tag Team Championship (as one-half of T&A with Ashley Cartier). She also competed in Powerful Women of Wrestling and Ladies Professional Wrestling Association. Having left WWE in 2005, chances are we could see Ivory in the Hall of Fame in a matter of years. And when that happens, let us hope they give her plenty of time to talk because if there's anything that Ivory's time in WWE proved, it's that this particular Diva loves to talk.
