5 Revolutionary female wrestlers in WWE

#1 Lita

Lita was my very first crush in wrestling, and I can bet she was the first for many other fans out there, male or female. With fiery red hair and an attitude to match, it could be argued that fans in the late 90's-early 2000's were getting a look at the prototype of the 'Anti-Diva'. Sure, she was gorgeous, but wasn't her entire identity.

She wasn't the most technical wrestler on this list, but her style was awe-inspiring and jaw-dropping. Whether she was hitting her low-angle moonsault to win one of four total WWE Women's Championships or using her famous Litacanrana to interfere on her friends' behalf, she could bring the fans to their feet with the greatest of ease.

Even in her earlier days of being the valet for essa Rios, I saw great potential in Lita becoming one of the most popular women to ever lace up a pair of boots. Her high-octane daredevil style led to her being paired up with the Hardy Boyz and forming Team Xtreme, easily the most popular stable in the latter half of the Attitude Era.

Aside from that, she made up one half of possibly one of the greatest rivalries in women's wrestling with Trish Stratus, their bouts setting the standards for how wrestling should be for years to come. Looking back on everything she had done, even after losing a large chunk of her career to a neck injury, it's hard to argue why Lita is not only my all-time favorite female wrestler, but easily one of the greatest to ever do it.
