2. Miss Elizabeth
When Miss Elizabeth was in WWE throughout the 1980s and into the early 1990s she was paired with her husband “Macho Man” Randy Savage. She didn’t speak much and she rarely interfered in matches, but she was popular because of her looks and the class she brought to the show.
In 1996, Elizabeth signed with WCW and was paired with Savage again even though they were divorced. It was done to set up a heel turn where she aligned herself with Ric Flair. Seeing her turn heel was such a surprise, but it was an example of smart booking that WCW was willing to try in order to gain viewers.
She went on to be a heel manager for much of her WCW career with her final WCW days being spent with Lex Luger, who she was dating in real life at the time. Sadly, she passed away in 2003 due to a mixture of vodka and painkillers, but she’ll always be remembered as one of the best women in wrestling history.
