1. Nancy Benoit
Born Nancy Toffoloni, this sultry wrestling sexpot debuted in 1984, working a series of roles as a femme fatale valet and manager, beginning in Championship Wrestling from Florida and continuing in World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling. Nancy was married to Kevin Sullivan when she was put in an angle where she left Sullivan for wrestler Chris Benoit. This led to Nancy leaving Sullivan for Benoit real, and they eventually married. The marriage was troubled as reports of domestic abuse surfaced after Benoit murdered Nancy on or around June 22, 2007. She was 43.
