What's your favorite "underrated" moment of Trish Stratus?! Share it down below!

[@ShadesofSamoa]

Trish vs Charlotte Flair! THE MATCH WAS AWESOME! I loved they included the avalanche hurricanrana, and Trish doing the figure 8

[@Aries16603]

Trish Vs. Melina at survivor series 2005 was so underrated. That was an original, Raw Vs Smackdown women’s match. That match was amazing. I wish they’d continue their little feud. I remember watching that match and Joey styles saying, “Melina is pretty new..”. I hate how WWE tries to rewrite history or act as if Indies doesn’t exist. Melina started wrestling before Trish Stratus in the indies. Melina has more experience than Trish in the ring. I’m glad Melina pointed that out when she was on the show.

[@solidsnakemgs2180]

Trish vs Michelle McCool at WrestleMania was legit even if they only wrestled like 30 seconds. They had chemistry and Michelle was ultra aggressive and Trish fighting back!

[@ialejandrol4489]

The Slap on WrestleMania XX

[@johnnylee1394]

I wish there will be an interview with sable one day

[@Aries16603]

Trish Stratus Vs. Sasha Banks is a dream match. I wished Trish and Melina’s little feud was bigger. Their match at Survivor Series 2005 was one of the best divas matches.

[@michaelalexander3322]

I was at that survivor series my mom was freaked out that I was attending an event of that attendance size that she sent my 17 year old brother at the time on the tunnel bus with me

[@AmitSamkariya-jt5rt]

It was awful

[@bvmbshelled]

She is such a queen. So professional, eloquent, smart, funny, she can do it all. I'm sad she didn't give us the answer to the Backlash match, but also intrigued because that really got me thinking what it could have been 👀

[@billblaski9523]

Lol I agree. And Trish is also a queen too. 😆

[@mr.checkyourself4672]

Trish storyline with Mickie is the best storyline ever told in wrestling it's the longest running storyline in wrestling history for a reason.

[@justvibin7883]

I would have to agree

[@christopherloyd8938]

Yeah for some reason every time they go to WrestleMania ever since 22 they've been trying to top this match I'm not even so sure of the asuka vs Charlotte can top it the build to this match was crazy 😎💯🎚️😂

[@marquethagod1769]

No female rivalry storyline will top that. No one can top it. It had actually story not just beef between two characters

[@llamamealy9014]

Yes, was amazing, Psyco Mickie was great

[@LILP12345]

Lita was her best

[@wrestlingjunkie9507]

I wish Trish Stratus and Melina rivalry was bigger but their Survivor Series match was everything!

[@Aries16603]

Yaaaaaaassss

[@solidsnakemgs2180]

Don’t forget their Raw match!

[@christopherloyd8938]

I heard they was supposed to renew it in 2016 but Trish was on her way out especially at unforgiven against Lita her archivalry if anything she could have returned but that kind of makes sense Melina versus Trish at wrestlemania 23 or 24😎💯🎚️

[@solidsnakemgs2180]

@@christopherloyd8938 Melina and Trish had explosive chemistry or they didn’t haha in the mix tag match Melina and Trish flopped but on their Raw match it was insane!! PPV quality!

[@satisfymeplease2305]

Jazz, Molly Holly and Victoria always brutalized Trish Stratus those are 3 of her biggest enemies I use to call them the "I Hate Trish Stratus Trio" but you got to give Trish credit withstanding all those beatings.

[@solidsnakemgs2180]

Also Gail Kim wrecked Trish bad in 2003 haha Molly was a bit more “tongue and cheek” like Trish says but Jazz Victoria and Gail just had it out for Trish lol some nasty weekly beatings. Melina and Mickie took it to Trish too!! I felt Michelle was so aggressive with Trish and I loved it

[@Universe.Steven]

Chyna used to beat Trish with zero effort

[@Cjjjj902]

@@Universe.Steven Well......yeah. She was 3 times her size.

[@solidsnakemgs2180]

@@Universe.Steven not the same. Trish was still not a wrestler yet she was learning and let’s face it, chynas little effort wasn’t impressive she looked so lazy and uncharismatic about it hence I know that’s the match theme but we talking about Boss Divas wrecking Trish and that goes to Jazz Victoria and Gail Kim!

[@nerdscore6756]

Jazz and Victoria was out for Trish head they beat her up every single week Molly Holly to but Jazz and Victoria was out for Trish neck they really put her over big time.

[@rafaelorona1395]

Trish is so confident! I love that she owns she ran WWE’s women’s division and that she was great at what she did, that her character and in ring prowess was top notch. And yes, is hard to choose top 5 moments when her career in general was always amazing.

[@aussti3864]

Trish is and has always been an absolute class act. It made me so happy to hear her talk about Jazz, Victoria and Molly Holly. They helped her so much in her career and you can tell there is genuine appreciation there.

[@jasonmills165]

Trish is, was, and always will be awesome. She is right about Victoria. WWE did her wrong. She was so good then got used as a jobber.

[@JzonAzari]

Some of my favorite moments and yes it’s time for Victoria and Jazz to be in the Hall of Fame 🤞🏽💯

[@christiancampbell895]

It’s a shame we didn’t get promos/segments between Trish and Melina. Their mic work is amazing and I could only imagine the things they’d say

[@Ruben-ui3yu]

I agree VICTORIA FOR HALL OF FAME ♥️ love Trish!

[@Rhetzelle]

I could listen to trish talking for hours and not get bored .. she's so funny

[@nickjunior88]

Can we also give props to Lil Kim for that iconic giggle 🙌🏾

[@mr.flawless6987]

Hearing Trish talk about Jazz like this is a moment❤️❤️❤️ It shows how humble she is n respect Jazz role in her career… I wish WWE can do the same

[@edro51188]

I will NEVER forget the look on Trish's face when she saw Jazz had returned. Top notch acting on her part

[@princemhakie218]

The BEST WWE Women's Champion of all time! The greatest Women Superstar ever! Really loved her whether she's a babyface or heel. Her semi-retirement at Unforgiven 2006 was very painful for me as I don't want (like any other fans) her to leave WWE. Really love Trish Stratus!

[@ShadowSoul92]

Trish is one of the few that I didn't care about the role she had heel or face, she always kept me glued to the screen...

[@densetsunosannin5561]

one of my favorite quotes from heel trish was, "just cuz your knee is messed up, doesn't mean your uterus isn't open for business" 😂😂😂

[@mykoniichistorychannel]

Same. She was EVERYTHING that segment.

[@mrmoviemanic1]

Much resect to Trish, she's one of the defining characters of women's wrestling to me from childhood and she's still who I consider one of the greatest of all-time. Thank you Trish congrates on your Lou Thesz award.

[@mattty9150]

Trish is honestly so funny. I love how she is just so goofy, yet can be such a baddie 💅🏻💅🏻

[@MrJohnnyHandsome]

And you can’t forget Trish to Nidia when Nidia was cussing her out in Spanish and Trish said “Sorry! I don’t speak German.” 😂😂😂

[@Chani-uk4wf]

Nidia! 😍😍

[@12inter88]

Golden Age of Trish was when she has a few regulars who would beat her ass weekly: Jacqueline, Victoria, Molly Holly, Stacy Keibler, Jazz, Lita, Ivory. She had a target on her back and those girls helped her craft and get better as a character and wrestler and delivering iconic moments.

[@mrjorenasuncion]

Even Jackie Gayda was part of the "I hate Trish Stratus" group during 2002-2004 lol. Everyone was after Trish back then lol. She was like a Cinderella. But a Cinderella that can fight back.

[@aaronlishus897]

How did you leave out Terri? Especially with Stacy on the list. Trish would even sell and bump and made Terri look good at times.

[@mrjorenasuncion]

@@aaronlishus897 Oh yep, even her was after Trish. All we need was for Lilian to also turn on Trish, and we have all the women from Raw going after Trish lol.

[@12inter88]

@@aaronlishus897 true. I forgot about Terri! But in my defense Terri was more of a wrestler during the Attitude Era. During Ruthless Aggression she had amazing matches tho (Molly, Trish, Stacy, Victoria, etc)

[@aaronlishus897]

@@12inter88 Yeah, she was mainly around for the Attitude Era, but I did notice that when Ruthless Aggression Era that Terri started having more matches matches that weren't gimmick-type. And tbh, she performed better than I'm sure a lot of people gave her credit for.

The ☕️ about Jacqueline had me laughing too! 😂 a lot of the girls say she was very tough!

[@r.p.l1161]

Bc she faught male wrestlers

[@jimjimjimmy7793]

She is a boss they knew they would get banged up up in the ring with her but she would take care of them.

Not a fan of long interviews like these but your interviews are fun to watch. Never a dull moment. I didnt realise time has passed😂

[@redlizard541]

Bro, I don't give a damn what anybody has to say. This woman to me back when I was a teenager was the sexiest woman on planet Earth. Not only was she good in the ring but she was so damn gorgeous. Just the shrine of female sexuality. And she can carry herself well in the ring so it won't get so boring. She looks amazing still to this day. I remember I had multiple pictures of WWE divas on my PSP back in the days and I had so many of Trish. Not only is she the goat of female professional wrestling but her come up is also awe-inspiring. Those outfits that she wore, that just runs through a man's brain. Every time she showed up on the screen she captivated all of us, made women jealous and made men drop their jaws all while entertaining all of us. Trish Stratus, I wish you well ❤❤❤❤

[@user-td2jw9ze2c]

what about Kaitlyn ?

[@erinpilla]

I love that you wear a version of her ring gear in that Lita vs. Trish match! Trish saying Victoria should be in the HOF makes me cry! Considering they did good work making young me think they would knock each other out in real life. WOMEN WRESTLERS SUPPORTING WOMEN WRESTLERS!!!

[@theboytube]

That’s crazy Trish vs Melina made the list cause I’d watch it so many times growing up, before when KZbin wouldn’t have clips so you’d watch them directly from the wwe website. I’d also watch Trish vs Victoria vs jazz and that match peaked my interest in Trish which is how I ended up at her storyline with Mickie, and that is how I became obsessed with women’s wrestling.

[@MrDivaMediaV1]

trish vs stephanie from NWO 2001 will always be one of my favourite matches of all time because of the fact that they were both green as anything, but were able to put on a solid match and tell a fantastic story!!

[@RihFlood212]

Queen! And she’s right, Victoria definitely deserves her one last amazing match and Hall of Fame!

[@brianna7810]

She said it herself, she loved being hit that's why she's good at selling. Simply the greatest of all time ❤️

[@jstratus4]

I love that she said the Victoria needs to be in the Hall of Fame because at this point it's just criminal that she's not in the Hall of Fame and I do think she should come back in some capacity one last time.

[@xenonplays_]

Here in July 2023 now that Heel Trish has actually returned.

[@ivo.kirov.93]

LOVED the interview!!! LOVE Trish Stratus!!! She is amazing. Watching her when growing up helped me with my mental health at that time, with who I wanted to be, she really means so much to me!!! And yes, we need heel Trish back

[@westley5735]

She’s so Canadian I freaking love her

[@JohnSmith-xg9wx]

I loved, loved, loved the Trish vs. Stephanie match. I miss the days when the non wrestlers would have storylines and matches. It was always exciting to see what moves they would pull off when they actually got in the ring. Sadly that aspect in wrestling is gone now. I miss all the Terri's and Kat's, Debra's, Stephanie's and early Trish's. The Divas were so much fun.

[@sonnyjoon3914]

I'm so relieved to know that I'm not the only one who prefers the Divas Roster before this entire Women's Evolution/Revolution crap the WWE is constantly shoving down our throats. WWE women's wrestling is largely unwatchable these days (but to be fair to the women, wwe as a whole is largely unwatchable these days thanks to shitty writing and terrible booking), with uninspired and tired characters and corny ass storylines. I miss the times when they would throw the likes of Stacy Keibler, Torrie Wilson, Miss Jackie and others into the ring for the fans to see what kind of moves they'd pull off. Even past Divas such as Tammy Sytch and Krystal Marshall admitted that something is missing in the Female Superstars Roster these days and that is the feminine aspect of Pro Wrestling and the Eye-Candy Valets. That's the truth about Pro Wrestling. You can be the best wrestler in the world, but if you can't draw shit and can't entertain and sell tickets, you're not doing your job right. I think WWE's abysmal ratings these past few years are testament to that.

[@redrick8900]

@@sonnyjoon3914 Women's wrestling is better now. There are more than three good wrestlers on the roster at once.

[@xLitaFan4Everx]

My fave underrated Trish Stratus moment was when she went off script in an in-ring segment with Lita to tell the crowd to stop calling Lita a "slut". Lita is #1 fave so that moment will always mean a lot to me. Trish is an amazing performer but an even better friend!

[@aaronlishus897]

Trish vs. Stephanie will always be one of my favorite Trish matches. That match honestly opened a lot of eyes in Trish than just sex appeal. It showed how much potential she had.

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

Trish Stratus was my crush in the early 2000s and she still looks absolutely gorgeous, a true WWE icon. Rivalry with Stephanie McMahon is legendary, and definitely one of my favourite moments from Trisha’s career along with the story line with Mickie James.

[@luiseduard095]

Great interview. Her Heel Run Fashion was fire. My top 2 outfits were from Bad Blood and New Years Revolution '05.

[@Xbox.4388]

The storyline between Trish and Stephanie was the best imo every time when Raw or Smackdown comes on I couldn’t wait till their segment.

[@christiancampbell895]

What made Trish vs Stephanie so good was the writing and build which WWE doesn’t invest in these days. They weren’t even really wrestlers at the time and the match was just an amazing brawl between two heels wHk legitimately had a reason to have one another

Trish Stratus was awesome in the ring as well as comedy moments. My favorite was when Triple H was helping her with some wrestling holds and he ended up getting behind her just as Stephanie came into their dressing room.

[@erinpilla]

YES!!!!! Considering Kurt Angle didn't get his shining exit. Lita should get her revenge! A rewind of heel Trish and face Lita should happen in a Wrestlemania. Like they're able to bring back The Rock for a 6-second match, but not give these legends (earned it) a spot in the Grandest Stage of Them All.
