Next up, is arguably the most respected remale high-fly act in mainstream wrestling, Amy Dumas, better known by her stage name, Lita. When Lita was in the ring, there wasn't anything too daring enough for her to do. Suicide Dive through the ropes and risk hitting the ramp? She didn't care. Diving Twist of Fate off the ropes? Didn't matter to her. Her patented Litasault back flip finisher off of the top turnbuckle was just another night for the woman who helped define one of the greatest eras in wrestling known as the Attitude Era of the WWF/WWE.
Prior to becoming a world-renowned act in the WWE, Dumas got her professional wrestling career started under the moniker Angelica in the Consejo Mundial Lucha Libre (CMLL) organization in 1998. The following year, Lita took her talents to the states in the independent circuit. In 1999, Lita made her way to the Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) where she began to pick up steam for her amazing aerial combat maneuvers. The following year, Lita would enter the WWF/WWE where she would become a 4x WWE Women's Champion and eventually be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame (2014). Throughout the years, she's made sporadic returns to the ring, but she's focused on her music career as the head of her own punk band called The Luchagors.
