While it might seem unbelievable now, considering how long WWE has presented a PG product, but in the past, several female talents would appear in Playboy magazine, with one of the biggest selling issues being Chyna’s, who actually featured twice. However, it has now been suggested by former WWE writer Tommy Blacha on the Tales from the Attitude Era podcast that this only happened because WWE purchased a large percentage themselves. Chyna, who is still regarded as one of the biggest female stars in WWE history, sadly passed away aged just 46 from an accidental overdose. Subsequently, WWE would posthumously honor her by including her as D-Generation X’s Hall of Fame induction despite her troubled final years. However, to many fans, this wasn’t enough, and they believe she deserves a solo induction due to her influence during the Attitude Era.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
