Lita [co # 14 in Team Xtreme] + Stephanie McMahon [#13] Make Top 20 Attitude Era Stars List!

# 14: Team Xtreme

Few Superstars put their bodies and careers on the line during The Attitude Era quite like Matt & Jeff Hardy. Risk-takers who would do anything it took to reach the apex of WWE’s burgeoning tag team division, the six-time World Tag Team Champions continuously broke new ground during The Attitude Era (not to mention new tables, ladders and chairs).

Entering WWE under the tutelage of ring veteran “Fabulous Freebird” Michael “P.S.” Hayes, the Hardys combined a devil-may-care attitude with stunning aerial proficiency that put themselves firmly in the hunt for the World Tag Team Championship. The highfliers’ omnipresent desire for greatness put them at odds with Edge & Christian and The Dudley Boyz, with whom the pair had several innovative tag team collisions.

Rounding out Team Xtreme was the stunning and awe-inspiring Lita, a risk-taker in her own right who would use her kinetic high-flying arsenal to capture the Women’s Title an impressive four times.

# 13: Stephanie McMahon

There are few power players of The Attitude Era quite like Stephanie McMahon, who transformed from doe-eyed ingénue to cold-hearted manipulator in the blink of an eye in December 1999 when she married Triple H to lay the foundation for The McMahon-Helmsley Regime. The group, comprised of D-Generation X and remnants of The Corporation, ran roughshod over WWE throughout much of 2000, targeting The Rock, Mick Foley, the Hardys, Kane and anyone else who opposed its rule.

With the help of her McMahon-Helmsley compatriots, “The Billion Dollar Princess” captured the Women’s Championship from Jacqueline on the March 28, 2000, edition of SmackDown. Lita would put an end to Stephanie’s title reign and the regime dissolved in late 2000, but Mr. McMahon’s only daughter never lost her thirst for absolute authority. Colluding with her brother Shane, Stephanie helped orchestrate yet another companywide takeover, forming a massive coalition of WCW and ECW competitors known as The Alliance.

Business savvy, a taste for power and a tendency to mix it up in the ring now and then? Well, you know what they say about apples and trees.
