10 WWE Superstars that were precursors to the Attitude Era

#3 Sunny

WWE's original diva

Longtime WWE fans might remember Sunny as the WWE's "Most Downloaded Celebrity" on America Online. Like AOL, Sunny was a staple of the mid-to-late 90s as she brought something to WWE that had not been seen very much before: sexuality.

Shortly after debuting as the Body Donna manager of real-life boyfriend Chris Candido (Skip in WWE), Sunny began appearing in swimsuit photo shoots and revealing vignettes on WWE television. Clearly hoping to grab the attention of the coveted young male demographic, Sunny became a bonafide star despite never actually competing in the ring.

The predecessor for the likes of Sable, Trish Stratus, and Stacey Keibler, Sunny introduced WWE fans to a theory that they would use for decades after - sex sells! And she did it all before the Attitude Era made it the norm.
