Trish..she really grew as a wrestler.
Least? Chyna easily from winning the IC title to be plowed by 10 different men at the same time. Sadly, most people want to support the narrative of Triple H being the antichrist and that he was solely responsible for chyna's downfall. I guess personal responsibility doesn't exist anymore...

AJ, because she achieved her lifelong dream, and stole Lita's life in the process.

Did you have to include "out of the ring", so now we have to hear people's mindnumbing views on sex work? Plus it is the WWE subforum. Are people voting for Trish really doing it based in part on the dull TV stuff she'd been doing since leaving WWE?
I voted Lita, just because she's entertained me the most. And she was part of big main event angles after stepping aside from the wrestling full time part. As for prosperous, I don't know who got paid what.

Maybe not as big as some of the names but Madusa did have a title match at Starrcade, Wrestlemania and the Tokyo Dome.
Not too many people can say that.

I'm tempted to say Sensational Sherri above all else, there is potential for the current crop of NXT women could end up setting a high bar for women in wrestling if WWE ever gets their shit together but Sherri always came across like a star, and an equal to everyone around her regardless of gender. Marisa is a good pick as well because she always came off as an honest to god professional wrestler and it didn't matter that she was a woman or not, but that couldn't last once the Monday night wars picked up.
Trish was given the most freedom to hone her craft and grow as a wrestler. AJ had a noteworthy career but you can tell that despite how over she got WWE couldn't care less about giving her anything substantial to chew on as a pro wrestler. I see AJ's success as more of a personality over a wrestler, not exactly her fault but she doesn't quite have the body of work to show for her time there.
Sadly though I don't really envy most of their careers from a pro wrestling standpoint because as good as their high marks were, pro wrestling's tendency to skew towards young dudes gave them a caveat where sure they can wrestle but sometimes they'll have to do it in gravy, and when that stopped being the norm women just have become afterthoughts. Makes you feel for women who just want to be pro wrestlers.

I'm willing to bet Fabulous Moolah made a lot of money whoring out her trainees to the workers.

In the ring no doubt is Chyna only because none of them won the Intercontinental Title. It's the 2nd highest title in the company that was and now is exclusively for men. Except Chyna broke the mold. If she just never went nuts, she would be so protected in WWE history today. No doubt about it.

For me it's sadness at seeing somebody who was a huge star reduced to performing in that industry. Especially when she had the perfect launchpad to transition into mainstream movie and TV work (like so many others from that time have been able to do)

I'd have added Sable to the list, personally. Went from being a nameless valet for Triple H to being the biggest female name of the biggest era in wrestling (and one of the smart/lucky ones who never became a drug addict), won titles, had one of the most successful Playboy spreads ever, television roles, sued the company for a shitload of money, made amends and came back for a second run, retired while still completely healthy and is now happily (as far as I've heard) married to the hugely successful Brock Lesnar.
Of the people listed, I guess probably Trish or Lita.

Umm Moolah,. She was champ for like 50 years ROFLMAO @ Trish Stratus winning this.. I would advise to go look at wrestling history. Wrestling existed before the 1990's/2000's. Stratus was only around a few years. Moolah was around for like 5 DECADES!!! Don't be misinformed. Educate yourself to the real history of pro wrestling

Educate yourself to the real history of pro wrestling If knew history, you'd know why people are not voting for Moolah. For the question(s) at hand, prosperous is easily Trish. She top Diva for the top years and built a career outside wrestling based on what she learned in wrestling. Getting to live her dream, that is easily AJ. Got to wrestle in WWE, meet and work with her idol, be the champ and top female in wrestling for a period and met the love of her life.

Of the options, I voted for Madusa. She worked for all the big companies, had great matches, and found a pretty sweet gig driving monster trucks after leaving wrestling. Not too shabby.

No one talks about Trish anymore outside of on wrestling message boards. Not like she's the Rock. ROLFMAO!!! Prosperous HAS to go to Moolah.. She was the longest reigning, longest drawing Diva of all time.. Trish was only relevant for what? 5 years? Moolah was relevant for 5 DECADES.

People will have different opinions than yours quite often, you obviously need to learn to deal with that. By the by, the OP states "in and out of the ring". People are welcome to have their own qualifiers for that.

Moolah pimped out, drugged and abused her "trainees" for decades. That is Moolah legacy to a lot of people and why her name will always be mud.

Prosperous, successful, I guess it all depends on how you look at it.
Trish Stratus had a very brief but clean cut career that started as a valet, became a good wrestler, won the chanmpionship a record amount of times and then got a storybook ending in her hometon. It was short but sweet. But she has the benefit of being the most known because she is one of the most current.
AJ Lee, I think her career was pretty good all things considered that they struggled after Trish. But maybe overrated. She was a jobber and transitioned into a character who was involved with alot of main eventers and even though she had that long Divas Title run, it was totally forgettable and then she kind of fizzled out. But again because shes current, shes remembered.
Lita was massively over, a very popular character, but was her career that great? It had great moments intertwined through alot of bad stuff.. she had two big injuries that killed her in ring pushes. As a manager for both The Hardyz and Edge she was great. But overall career.. it didnt have it all really. Still love her.
The Fabulous Moolah is one of those to me like a Bruno Sammartino, I can only really believe what im told about her legacy as I wasnt there to see it, but she was the top woman in the game for hundreds of years..
Mae.. I just dont count her, tough old broad but really I cant even tell you one thing about how successful her career was pre 1999 WWF.
Madusa is my favourite of all time, I think she had the most all rounded career. She was the top female in all three major companies AWA, WCW and WWF, as well as being a big star in Japan, going to Japan at that time for any female was a huge deal. She like Trish and Lita worked alongside some big male names like Heyman, Hennig, Rude, Austin, Savage etc even if for brief periods.
Lita, Madusa and Moolah all have big red X's on thier career files too, such as title trashing, cheating scandals and pimping and politics.
Trish had the best fairytale career.. but it was so short compared to others, 6 and a half years now just seems like nothing, I mean 2009 was actually 6 years ago and that seems like yesterday. In fact Lita's was the same.
Moolah, Mae and Madusa had more longevity and more experience around the clock.
Outside the ring, Madusa, Trish and Lita all not only went onto great careers/professions etc but all look amazing many years on and continue to prosper. Sadly Moolah and Mae have passed away.
Really hard to say and just pick one. They all had prosperous careers,
