Ah, yes...good ol' Hervena...

Though nowhere near the level of the WWF Heavyweight Title, the WWF Womens Title has had its own fair share of top-name athletes. Wendi Ricther. Alundra (Madusa) Blayze. Lita. But Hervina was not one of them.

In case you've never heard of Hervina before, here's a little bit of backstory: On the January 31, 2000 episode of Raw, a "snow bunny lumberjill" match was held, where several of the WWF's female stars competed to win the belt, then held by The Kat (Stacey Carter). During the match, a mysterious wrestler debuted, and took advantage of Jacquelyn knocking out Kat. Pinning the downed champion, the newcomer was crowned the new WWF Womens Champion. But there was something familiar about her. The bodyframe. The size. The five o'clock shadow...

Yep, the new champ was none other than Harvey Wippleman in drag! And Vince Russo wasn't even with the WWF anymore!
Luckily, Jacquelyn defeated the cross-dressing manager the following night to take the title. After that, the womens title enjoyed a resurgance, as "real" wrestlers like Lita, Jackie and Ivory competed over it, as opposed to the Kat/Terri matches that had gone on before. It would remain a fairly prominent title until it was won/taken over by Chyna.
