17. Chyna & Eddie Guerrero
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xhh5yca2_2c The night after WrestleMania 2000, Chris Jericho defended his newly won European Championship against Eddie Guerrero. Jericho was allied with former rival Chyna, who was being romanced by Eddie. Chyna seemed disgusted with Eddie's constant advances, but surprised fans everywhere when she attacked Jericho and helped Eddie win his first WWE championship title! Automatically, they were the bad guys in the eyes of the fans. However, the tune began to change and the WWE Universe enjoyed the comedic exploits of "Latino Heat" and his "Mamacita." As fan favorites, the mismatched duo ran afoul of other couples such as Lita & Essa Rios, Triple H. & Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, and Trish Stratus & Val Venis. They also managed to trade the Intercontinental Championship between themselves! As Chyna's popularity grew to enormous proportions thanks to her appearance in Playboy Magazine, Eddie became increasingly more jealous and mentally abusive. Eddie proposed to Chyna when it looked like she had found the strength to leave him (spoiler alert, she accepted). The two would break up after GTV caught Eddie in the shower with two of The Godfather's former Hoes (Mandy & Victoria) proclaiming, "Two Mamacitas are better than one!" Thanks to Chyna, Eddie was given more attention to demonstrate his amazing craft. Thanks to Eddie, Chyna was able to break away a little bit from her quiet, stoic, and serious wrestling persona; getting the opportunity to show more femininity and her penchant for comedy. This particular duo also made history by becoming the first inter-gender tag team to challenge for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
