    Mae Young and Moolah should still have a place on there. They were still active -- and even taking some bumps -- well into the 2000s. Hell, they could be in the top 20 if you just took the last decade of their lives and careers, based off their comedic work alone.

    Chyna should be in the top 10, if they even deign to mention her.

    Agree with the Horsewomen, Trish and Lita to start. For me, add Asuka, Mickie James, Beth Phoenix and Chyna to round out the top 10.

    I know the Bella Twins are popular, but I never got them.

    Is it about women wrestlers, or women's wrestling? Because if it's the latter, she hated working with other women, haha. That being said, at the time the division was like, non-workers like Sable, so that's somewhat understandable.

    Good points on Mickie and Chyna.

    I think the second act of Nikki’s career makes her fringe top 10. Once she learned to wrestle she was instrumental in getting both Charlotte and Ronda Rousey over to the wide audience.

    if they package both twins on the list they were right to drop em into the 20s

    Of course, it'll be Taker inducting him, but Pete Rose would be a nice touch.

    So apparently it's Big Man Day for the Hall of Fame.



    I don't really have a big problem with this. If you got Koko B. Ware and Hillbilly Jim, you can have Khali.

    Britt Baker is so amazing.

    "Mick Foley? Thanks for the thumbs up, but it took 20 years for you to become a hardcore legend. It took me one night."

    With 10-1 left to go, looks like you're on the right path, though Mickie and Beth were among the teens.

    Betting we get Ronda and Alundra/Madusa in the top 10 since they haven't been mentioned yet.

    Among the teens: Natalya, Sable, Paige, Molly, Victoria and Bliss.

    They split the top 10 into two episodes, so the finale will be Friday. The top five in no particular order: Charlotte, Becky, Trish, Asuka, Chyna

    They had a special package for the women who weren't most associated with wrestling, and I was disappointed they didn't include Renee Young or Lillian Garcia, but they had Jillian frickin' Hall.

    I hope Dr. Shelby will be in attendance

    Still might be one of my favorite moments. Hard to believe it’s been nine years.
