It is really insulting that Trish and Lita think they were held back

I just want to point out as a teenager I wanted to put it in every hole Trish and Lita would let me.

Great presentation, great music, great characters, just lousy in ring.

Nah you guys are talking about moves and transitions and psychology then sure obviously Sasha and them are better but what Lita and Trish did what the current women haven't yet done is have a great BRAWL. At the end of the day Trish/Lita/Stephanie were brawlers and they beat the shyt out of each other. It came across on screen like they really hated one another.

I haven't seen that yet with this new crop so it's not like Trish and Lita are making false claims. They had a different style but it worked.
Naomi is a better brawler than both by far :dame:

the low end. southside chi
Not understanding how Trish and Lita were held back
Lita was like the last of that group of woman who,could legit wrestle before they started that whole diva thing and Trish was the cornerstone of the new wave diva
They could do what ever they wanted

Trish was a decent worker in an era where the majority were garbage. Asuka, Charlotte, Sasha, Becky, Bayley, Nattie and maybe even Nikki Bella are all better than Trish in the ring. Would Trish be a women's champion at her peak today? Of course she would because she's got the look & the character. But she was not a hands down better wrestler than those other women.

Act like Victoria, Jacqueline, Chyna, Jazz, Molly Holly, and Ivory didn't exist, brehs and brehettes.:dwillhuh:

Somebody's ring work that's rarely brought up before her full-time position as a manager and valet was Sensational Sherri. I watched some of her earlier stuff and she was legit. :ehh:

Trish's peak was 2004-2005. Most of those ladies weren't around or played a very minimal role on TV at that point. The WWE started to transition to the fitness/fashion models by then.

Yeah her peak came later because she got to work with talent better than she was. Vince gave her a superwoman push and gave her the world in the WWE, that's why many of the ladies didn't get a fair deal in the WWE. Trish was Vince's pet project. He didn't care about another woman besides her in the division. It was obvious.

Trish was originally brought in as eye candy and a valet. All those other women like Jazz, Victoria, Molly and even now with Charlotte, Sasha, Bayley etc... were training to be wrestlers. For as late as Trish got her start she was very capable. shyt, Nikki and Brie were brought in as eye candy and Nikki got to be pretty decent.

I like how they completely overlooked Alundra Blaze and bull nakano

Ivory was a legit worker as well

Bull ain't never gonna get burned because of being off that white girl and most of her best stuff was with them Aja Kong , chigusa all Japan type joints.

Blaze is in the hall of fame and Vince is a forgiving guy so she should be thankful she gets a mention at all for riddikk bowe'ing the title

Don't get how people can't see how these two were held back. When you have to strip down and bark like a dog, do pillow fight matches, and live 'sex' celebrations it's clear they were

Trish was pushed hard since 2001...she had a few title reigns before 2004...that was basically near the end.

Well...thats not true. Jazz kicked Trish's ass almost all the time.
