[@alexf9381]

Dude, she's had countless thousands of dollars of work done. Facial surgery and injections. The fact we're programmed to think this looks good is why so many women are afraid of getting old. She's essentially wearing a surgically implanted face mask of a young woman.

[@fortunes_youtube]

I think it was quick revival of the "good ole days" but also a "what if?" A lot of callbacks to old famous heel promos that diva fans remember. Including " 'Dashing' Trish Stratus" The "what if" being match stipulations she was definitely not able to do. She could do brawls/street fight matches with Victoria and Jazz but didn't get ladder matches or steel cages like today Steel cage was excellent. The steps to get there were a little shaky but we got there. She didn't wear out her welcome and wasn't in the title picture, definitely the opposite of most "part timers"

[@YoungSweezy]

That steel cage match was insane, also love how Trish uses some attitude era moves. Also it felt kinda funny how she was putting everyone into head scissors like shes Black Widow or smth.

He could become him very early, but the global situation and big problems of creative crew ruined it. 2) Did you know that Abyss could have a match in 2006 against Undertaker at Wrestlemania, but he turned it down because he wanted to became a big name in company which he started his career with.

I'm going to say what no one wants to say - women's wrestling is often much less entertaining than men's wrestling (as is the case with many sports).

Count the amount of botches in the typical women's wrestling match and compare it to the men. The overall pacing is much different. Men are faster than women biologically and there is no arguing this point. Faster and less botches = more entertaining for most people. I don't see how me saying that women's wrestling is less entertaining equals me being prejudiced. Black people are generally better at long distance running also (backed up by many reputable studies, Vancini et al., 2014 is just one example), i suppose this makes me racist then too?

Has nothing to do with biological differences. And regarding the “botches”, firstly, crazy to say that as if men don’t botch all the time. Secondly, maybe they wouldn’t botch as much if they were given more time on TV. 1 match on a 6 match card is a clear imbalance. And that’s with the recent progression.

They may be a lot of much better women wrestlers this day, but Trish left a mark and legacy in a time when the company did not care or gave a damn about women’s wrestling, and would even put Playboy covergirls over talented athlees. When Charlotte, Becky, Sasha or Bayley (The 4 Horsewomen) became top superstars, all the eyes were on the Women’s division and WWE Management was even developing a strategy based on elevating and empowering women, so they could be at the level of the male wrestlers.
