Taka Michinoku
Michinoku’s WWE years weren’t the most memorable. In fact, his run definitely goes down as one of the most overhyped arrivals in company history. But his high-flying antics and lightweight presence laid the groundwork for WWE’s cruiserweight division. Chances are you won’t remember his 10-month reign as Light Heayweight Championship (don’t blame you), but his tag-team run with Funaki as Kai En Tai made for hilarious wrestling fodder that the WWE universe consumed.
Chyna
Throw stones all you want. We know Joanie Laurer is a complete mess who shares an extremely bad history with the boss’ son-in-law, along with a provocative porn career that disqualifies her from having any close ties to the WWE. But you’d be foolish to think DX is official, especially during the Attitude Era, without the 9th Wonder of the World. Aside from becoming the first woman to qualify for the King of the Ring and win the Intercontinental Championship, Chyna broke many barriers for the WWE by not only being one of the best female workers ever, but also transforming herself into an industry sex symbol. Don’t front, you copped that Playboy. Simply put, she opened the lane for the Divas division, even if it serves as a platform that promotes T-N-A over actual wrestling these days. Squash the beef, pay the rehab fees, and make Chyna part of the DX family, WWE.
