Soo true ! They had such little TV time , not to mention all the weird "match types" they had to work like bra and panties , hair vs hair , pillow fight and so on ... Yet they still managed to make themselves memorable and leave a mark in wwe
110% agree with this statement! The Divas absolutely took every opportunity to make themselves memorable. Sable pulling off topless stunts, Mickie rolling the dice with her V-sign, Molly Holly putting her hair on the line, Victoria’s silly costumes. Hell Trish is still pulling out new stunts in steel cage! Divas were hardly ever handed good cards, besides Trish and Lita’s main event, Mickie and Trish at Wrestlemania, or the 1st steel cage match. Every other match or highlight was most likely a Diva giving everything she could to get a crowd over or make a good match with little time. For them to be able to make a name for themselves out of those days is truly iconic.
@@TheRealAdaWong I would also include Beth Phoenix ( totally not the typical " WWE diva " , yet a Hall of fame worthy career ) and Aj Lee ( one of the main pioneers of the women's revolution , achieved incredible popularity in a time when the divas Division was all eye candy and getting almost no screen time , fought the management for women's wrestlers to get the respect they deserve 👏 Both are true legends in my book
@@Stefan-oj6oz I totally agree! Beth was probably the first “beast” they properly booked in a long time, that chick had me scared for Kelly Kelly’s life everytime 😭 AJ Lee is definitely a one of a kind performer, admittedly she’s not my favorite as that entire era ‘09-‘13 of “Divas” is where the division was actually tanking because WWE removed their risqué antics and stipulations yet still wanted Diva characters, making “Divas” actually work technically with cut times. They should have just dropped the “Divas” division altogether and started earlier with the women’s revolution. But like you said, AJ Lee’s pipe bomb, or Divas of Doom versus LayCool’s table match, Mickie, Michelle, and Melina holding down the division. For women to still have made a name for themselves when the division was technically dying, again proves that these women made the best out of the worst situations. While all the new generation was properly getting trained and prepared to be handed real stipulation matches like steel cage or extreme rules, most of the woman that performed stipulations before them had no training whatsoever, yet still had hellacious matches.
And DEVILISHLY PRETTY AS WELL.( SHE ACTUALLY COULD HAVE BEEN A LIVE VERSION OF A CARTOON SUPERHERO / VILLIAN .THAT'S HOW PRETTY HER FACE IS AND HER BODY STRUCTURE)
Did you forget that Chrissy Made her best Pro Wrestling career as well? Oh they also forgot to mention, awesome Kong, Gail Kim, The Bella's, Chyna, Terri , Ashley. Trish Status, another Tori, BB, The Cat and Luna
Growing up during the 90s and spending my high school years in the attitude era, these were some of the most beautiful women on TV. Seems like most, if not all of them have found continued success and happiness after wrestling. Best of luck to the mall.
Yeah, this list was kind of all over the place. A golden era and early-Attitude era performer like Sable, and a relatively recent one like Kaitlyn? That's a wide swath that encompasses a lot of big names. Maybe they avoided ones that are on legend contracts or have transitioned into promoter roles, like AJ and Mickie?
I was looking for trish but she must have kept her life pretty under wraps being from canada. maybe went there and just diappeared she was one of the most famous ones they ever had. and yeeah I also agree this was just ONE era they had, fthey went even farther back in time to cover Madusea windy or any of them. Honestly before rickters story arc women wrestling I think was just like a side hustle with them not even appearing in amy main events until then.
Melina Perez should be in the WWE HOF. 5 title runs in a little over 4 years and multiple fueds with Beth Phoenix, Michelle McCool, and Mickie James. First ever winner of a women's falls count anywhere match where she defeated Mickie for the title. Many more championship matches and great work against the company's best. Her mic work and ring charisma were like nobody else. Valeting for MNM with their many championship runs cannot be overlooked with Melina constantly helping the heel faction to steal wins and be a valued asset for the group.... ❤️ Melina Perez for WWE HOF
Fun fact Melina was in the first episode of Tough Enough 3 but didn't make the final 13 after the biking and running challenge. You can see her thanking the trainers towards the end of the episode.
Stacy was supposed to win the wwe women's title around 2004 but she turned it down, she felt like she was taking the championship from people that have dedicated years to wrestling. And Torrie W. Was supposed to be the first ever divas champ but plans changed due to her experiencing back lock ups and back injuries.
Yes I know this story but Stacy she decline she didn't want the Women's Champion title because she mention that being a Women's champion it to much pressure, also yes Torrie Wilson was suppose to win the first ever Divas Champion but due to her medical back problem she decline also so they give the title to Michelle Mccool which that was a better fit...
Val Venus said in an interview that Molly Holly was the most attractive diva during his time in the WWE saying she was the total package of looks, work ethic, sense of humor, and character
Sadly because of a questionable video Victoria did..she won't be allowed in the hall of fame...maybe Triple H will let her in..met her once...she seems like a sweetheart
Slapped the ole' noodle around more than I'd like to admit over Torrie back in the day lol I haven't watched the actual programming since 07' so this kind of stuff and shoots are cool to see all these years later.
Back when America didn't have to cater to the offended crowd. These were actually BETTER matches than todays performers. They werent just pretty...they could entertain in and out of the ring...what about Lita?
This narrator actually believes wrestling viewers (teenage male audience typically) would rather see women wrestle than see them in bra and panty matches. Hilarious! 🤣
I disagree! You remove that era and you remove the likes Trish, Lita, Victoria, Gail Kim, Mickie James, Melina, Beth Phoenix, Michelle McCool, Jaqueline, Jazz, Molly Holly and Ivory! That’s a lot of talent right there, many of whom are more entertaining and know how to work a crowd better than todays stars
Women of that era not only didn't get enough respect from the company, they didn't get enough respect from fans either. People like to crap on them for being bad wrestlers, but they worked with what they were given which wasn't much.
How the actual hell do you guys leave out DEBRA ? Out of every single woman mentioned on this list, DEBRA is the ONLY one who actually made something of herself AFTER wrestling. Let’s also not forget she was fired and blacklisted over being a VICTIM OF DOMESTIC ABUSE. #JusticeForDebra
Divas from 1998-2011 are legendary. They did so much with so little. Just imagine if they had what today's division have?
Victoria vs Trish era was legendary
Soo true ! They had such little TV time , not to mention all the weird "match types" they had to work like bra and panties , hair vs hair , pillow fight and so on ... Yet they still managed to make themselves memorable and leave a mark in wwe

Victoria is soo underrated
And DEVILISHLY PRETTY AS WELL.( SHE ACTUALLY COULD HAVE BEEN A LIVE VERSION OF A CARTOON SUPERHERO / VILLIAN .THAT'S HOW PRETTY HER FACE IS AND HER BODY STRUCTURE)
And so sexxy...❤❤❤
I miss Christy Hemme
Who?
VICTORIA FOR HALL OF FAME!
She should be the only person i history to get inducted in both wwe and tna HOF in the same year!!!!
Her and Gail Kim were the only 2 females who could actually wrestle back then
i liked her too
How the hell does literally everyone get their TNA/Impact runs mentioned except for Victoria who had the best run their out of everyone here?
Did you forget that Chrissy Made her best Pro Wrestling career as well? Oh they also forgot to mention, awesome Kong, Gail Kim, The Bella's, Chyna, Terri , Ashley. Trish Status, another Tori, BB, The Cat and Luna
Oh how could I forget Debra puppies and Lita, cherry and oh nidia.
I met Victoria at a con. She said "You're adorable, and you're funny!!" I appreciate that.
I still remember the Torrie and Dawn storyline lol it was crazy
Eve Torres' natural beauty is really out of this world...
She really could pass as miss universe or something like she's GORGEOUS
Growing up during the 90s and spending my high school years in the attitude era, these were some of the most beautiful women on TV. Seems like most, if not all of them have found continued success and happiness after wrestling. Best of luck to the mall.
A shame Trish stratus and Lita aren't here.

@@tzvikrasner6073fat ass "Sunny" is in prison now. Skank.

_Sable defined the WWE Divas_ ???
WTF are you smoking dude? Sunny was the first one to be a WWF Diva if anything!
Yeah, but sable way more can protect her name than sunny who ruin herself being idiot skank
Finally someone said it
You forgot to mention that jazz was in the og ecw too lol
You forgot Victoria and Jillian Hall were in the Royal Rumble 2021 and Ivory was part of Evolution 2018 Battle Royal
I marked out hard with Billie Kay when I heard "you know you want me"
The most random fact I love about Victoria. Her entrance music was performed by Nicki Minaj. Obviously before she became famous... but still😉
No mention of Sunny?? I mean she is going to prison but still, was an icon of the 90s.
She is trash.
You did an outstanding job on this!!! Thanks for your hard work. You totally did this o e justice.
Victoria had a good run in TNA as Tara!
Fun fact Melina was in the first episode of Tough Enough 3 but didn't make the final 13 after the biking and running challenge. You can see her thanking the trainers towards the end of the episode.
I’m glad they all seem to be doing well but damn this video made me feel old.
Stacy was supposed to win the wwe women's title around 2004 but she turned it down, she felt like she was taking the championship from people that have dedicated years to wrestling.

Wow 😯
They never mentioned Victoria as Tara on TNA where she was champion
Fantastic🍿
The divas division has been around since sable. U ignored terri, debra, tori, sara, nicole bass n nidia
Do a part two please Layla, Michelle, Brooke, Tiffany, Ariel, Katie Leah, Cameron, Aksana, Maxine, AJ, Beth, Lena Yada, Jackie Gayda, Amy and Joy
You left out Ashly RIP
@@BBBYpsi ... for obvious reason, may she rests in peace and God rests her soul
joy is such a big heart, love her
You forgot about Natalya when she first started out she's been there long time
Sable was so over-rated.
Poor Mic Skills.
Poor In Ring Skills.
Just a overgrown barbie Doll.
Victoria marry Melina ❤❤❤❤
Victoria was treated terribly
Victoria was my favorite women’s wrestler. I love that woman and would marry her today. 😊😊😊
Nobody has the hutspah to talk about Ashley Massaro
You forgot about LITA WWE!!!
Val Venus said in an interview that Molly Holly was the most attractive diva during his time in the WWE saying she was the total package of looks, work ethic, sense of humor, and character
Kelly kelly has an only fans account?........wow...........
Think about it
Sable accused wwe of sexual harassment
Then joins the company again
Awesome video ❤
I love Victoria i met her at a con an she was sooo sweet an kind to me an my sister
Sadly because of a questionable video Victoria did..she won't be allowed in the hall of fame...maybe Triple H will let her in..met her once...she seems like a sweetheart
LITA 😊😊😊😊
Victoria v 1:24
Wow Dawn Marie she looks so different now I guess age does change you..
WHy isn't Ashley Massaro mentioned???
G.L.O.W. Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling was the best
COOL
I miss Jerry Lawyer critiquing all these women and their body parts at the broadcast table.
Molly Holly was Mona in WCW
What about Debra?
I miss the divas era. With the females in nxt, they should bring it back a little bit
7:28 Especially when she had Ol' Bumface in her corner!
no Micheke McCool?
I miss those days
What about Trish Stratus & Lita?
What's lost in time is Jillian Hall with her beautiful singing always got the biggest POP of them all (People would go berserk)
Didn't even mention Tori. Loved her.
Victoria is awesome neighbor her husband is great guy 😊🎉❤
Chyna needs to be in the WWE Hall of Fame especially seeing this video and who is!!!!
Melina was my favorite ❤ I always wonder what happen to her.
No Nidia?
Victoria❤❤❤
Kaitlyn, Celeste Bonin, was so gorgeous....
Alicia Fox?
I hope that since Punk is back, we might see AJ Lee in a match or two.
I miss Trish Stratus & Torrie Wilson
Kaitlyn was/ is my all time favorite 🤩 😍🥵🥵🥵
Beautiful people wwe best 8 close 9 of weste☃️rn time win 🏆
Stacey Kiebler was a damn fox.
Angelina Love
She was never in WWE she did succeed in TNA
Fun her wasted time her life chopping was lose one 8 times winning 9 half it
Asuka should just retire.
Ivory
sin duda muchas de las chicas eran hermosas ..todas unas reina de belleza pero bien estilizadas y atleticas,,..mismas heroinas de comics
Slapped the ole' noodle around more than I'd like to admit over Torrie back in the day lol I haven't watched the actual programming since 07' so this kind of stuff and shoots are cool to see all these years later.
Mickie James will forever be the hottest woman in wrestling.
Got to meet her last week. She’s super sweet as well. She’s always been one of my favorites. The Piggy James story pissed me off so bad.
@@landonmiles97 I'm jealous, I would love to meet her.
Yeah Mickie has aged like wine.
😇🤩 beautiful peoples of western her time of days of Laughton fun
The difference is diva's were women. The female wrestlers today are little girls except for maybe the likes of Rhia or 1 or 2 others.
Good best friend Tony
These videos aren't even needed anymore. They all have their own platforms.
Back when America didn't have to cater to the offended crowd. These were actually BETTER matches than todays performers. They werent just pretty...they could entertain in and out of the ring...what about Lita?
I used to have a crush on ivory
Molly Holly would have been a bigger star if it wasn't for that hair match...the kiss of death to any pro wrestling career.😢
Sable was pretty.
Where is dawn Marie a nurse... Im suddenly not feeling well
This narrator actually believes wrestling viewers (teenage male audience typically) would rather see women wrestle than see them in bra and panty matches. Hilarious! 🤣
who is regarding sable as a pioneer of women's wrestling? No one that's who LOL
Kaitlyn and there's one other that I don't believe should be on this list, as they were at the tail end of the Divas era.
Tori wilson look like two different ppl !?!
This video is forgetting the greatest Diva: TRISH. STRATUS.
What's up with them doing onlyfans trash 😒
Chyna? Debra? Ms. Kitty? Teri? Tori? This is some crap list you got.
Well we all know what happened to Chyna soo..
Strip clubs
certainly can hear the feminism in the voice over..
If ur gonna make a video about women's Divas division make sure u mention the ones from 2009 to 2016 like wtf 🤣
The divas was the worst and most useless women's ara you could remove it and nothing would change so useless
I disagree! You remove that era and you remove the likes Trish, Lita, Victoria, Gail Kim, Mickie James, Melina, Beth Phoenix, Michelle McCool, Jaqueline, Jazz, Molly Holly and Ivory! That’s a lot of talent right there, many of whom are more entertaining and know how to work a crowd better than todays stars
Nah, sex appeal was goated.
I hope Sable gets inducted in the Hall of Fame ❤
Eve and victoria my favorite divas.
Women of that era not only didn't get enough respect from the company, they didn't get enough respect from fans either. People like to crap on them for being bad wrestlers, but they worked with what they were given which wasn't much.
probably in the vince mcmahon lawsuit.
One day Melina is going to be inducted in the Hall of Fame.
They missed the right opportunity this year!
Damn I'm surprised she's not in it
Her Primal Scream is such a cool move.
I remember seeing Candice in that superbowl commercial.
How the actual hell do you guys leave out DEBRA ? Out of every single woman mentioned on this list, DEBRA is the ONLY one who actually made something of herself AFTER wrestling. Let’s also not forget she was fired and blacklisted over being a VICTIM OF DOMESTIC ABUSE. #JusticeForDebra
Victoria,torrie Wilson and Stacey were my all time favourite divas back then along with Lita..they were best of the best..I miss watching them..
