Trish Stratus

Vince135792003

With this week being her last week under contract I thought she'd be worth a topic of discussion.

Will she be forgotten and thought of as just another pretty face that did well in WWE, or will she be recognized as some sort of legend years later? If she's a ledgend is she Wrestling observer hall of fame worthy? What your favourite Trish Moment? Whats the moment she'll be most remembered for?

I'll give my thoughts later. But in 2 sentence I think Trish deserves a hell of alot of credit for what she has achieved in her run. An unbelievably hot lady but also extremely talented.

My favourite Trish moment was shaking her hand in HMV last year....right before I shopk Kurt Angles hand

The word legend is often overused in wrestling but I think it's appropriate as far as Trish Stratus is concerned. Here's someone who came into the WWE as basically a pretty face with nice "assets" but went and turned herself into one of the greatest female wrestlers the WWE has ever had.

I was at the last Raw show in the Point and I thought her and Victoria had one of the best matches of the night.

She's been a good ambassador for the women's division and I feel with her gone it might go the way the tag team division has gone in the WWE - downward.

As for what she'll be remembered for I think she'll be remembered as the woman who held the Women's title more than anybody.

As for my favourite moment of hers, it would be the comedy bit from around 2000 during the McMahon-Helmsley storyline when Triple H is showing her how to do a hammerlock and Stephanie walks in. One of the funniest moments ever. :cool:

she brought us the MAtrix move

possibly one of the worst moves in wrestling

other than that she did well. agreed about HHH teaching her wrestling moves. very funny

I think Trish deserves alot of credit. She is like a totally different person from when she first started out in WWE, being just another valet and the T&A...with T&A (Test & Albert). I don't think I have seen any female wrestler improve so much. Alot of credit to her for working so hard and really improving the women's division.

And best of luck to her outside of WWE, I think she will be missed in the women's division

Well I definitly think she'll go down as being a legend alright. As mentioned above she was just another pretty face in 2000 only to evolve to a great in-ring competitor. This is a tribute to her dedication to the business as alot of divas through the years have used WWE only as a stepping stone to further their personal career. Fair play to Trish and maybe we'll see her again some day down the road.

While she did mess up from time to time (what WWE women didn't though or any wrestler i guess), she was still one the best ever to wrestler in the WWE. I wouldn't call her a Pro wrestling legend but a WWE legend, definitely. Wish her the best of luck for the future.

Trish definately deserves alot of credit, and I think she is a shoe in for the Hall of Fame. She brought credibility to the womens division and hopefully the new breed of divas will follow her lead and try and get by on ability alone rather than just physical appearence.

With Trish gone the womens division is in trouble. Lita, who isnt very good anyway, is rumoured to be leaving soon too, so that leaves just Mickey James to carry the division until the next Trish comes along.

^ And don't forget Victoria. But still, a two women division isnt gonna be good enough. Apparently Candice is in training to become an in-ring competitor.

This Trish Stratus thread has a severe lack of pictures.

Don't see Candice going very far as an in-ring competitor tbh!

Don't forget Beth Phoenix, when she comes back, which should be soon enough!

Ill compete in her ring any day wha!!!

Just outa curiosity, why is Trish retiring? Was it that injurery she had when she wrestled Mickie James a while back. Or is she like Tajiri just gonna give it up and do something else? Or is it a work of so kind?

She's getting married and she's apparently looking to go into acting. But basically she's made her money and now she's going home.

I think she will be remembered as a great competitior in the womens division especially when one compares her to the likes of candice and mickie james in terms of wrestling skills.
I remember watching her first few matches and she seems like she was just going to be "another pretty faced woman" in the wwe but then suddenly for reasons unknown her wrestling improved and it was her wrestling(aswell as her pretty face) that attracted me and others to watching her perform.
So I do think that she will be a HUGE loss to the womens divison and i do expect her to be in the hall of fame sometime

triple h

well stalfos, when i first heard that trish was leaving wrestling the very very first thought that came into my head was ----she is going off to have babies and start a family---lets face it , the wwe is not the place for a mammy.
if she does not show her face from time to time (hall of fame, wrestlers passing away, ect ,ect) i reckon we will never see her again.

Hang on a moment! Mickie James is a brilliant wrestler, has been for years, she shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Candice

how can you put Candice and Mickie James in the same sentence. Mickie James is a fantastic wrestler tbh
