Since I'm a Proud Fan of the #GiveDivasAChance movement and since March is Women's Wrestling Month I figure we relive some of the greatest Females to step foot In the WWE! And what better way to start with Trish Stratus!
DEBUT
Stratus made her debut as a heel on the March 19, 2000 episode of Sunday Night Heat.She appeared on stage to scout WWF Superstars, in particular Test and Prince Albert.
The next night on Raw Stratus began her first role in the company,managing Test and Albert in the tag team T & A.
Vince McMahon Storyline
In early 2001, Stratus became involved in an angle with WWF Chairman Vince McMahon, during a time when Vince's wife Linda was institutionalized following a demand Vince had made for a divorce during an episode of SmackDown! on December 7, 2000.Vince and Stratus' relationship increasingly angered the boss' daughter, then-heel, Stephanie McMahon.
At No Way Out on February 25, Stratus and Stephanie squared off, with Stephanie scoring the victory after a run-in by William Regal.Stratus was the victim of a set-up by Vince, Stephanie and Regal. Regal executed his finisher, the Regal Cutter, on Stratus and Stephanie then dumped sewage over Stratus' body. Vince stood over Stratus, and he told her she was a toy with which he had grown tired of playing and that it was over.
The angle continued the next week on Raw with Vince forcing Stratus to strip down to her black bra and panties in the ring and bark like a dog.The storyline came to an end at WrestleMania X-Seven when Stratus slapped Vince during his match against his son Shane,becoming a fan favorite in the process.
Trish Wins The Title
Stratus appeared at Survivor Series where she won the WWF Women's Championship for the first time in a six-pack challenge.
The Slap Heard Around The World!
Stratus began a romance with Chris Jericho during the November 10 episode of Raw when she agreed to go on a date with him.Stratus overheard Jericho talking to then-heel, Christian, who was involved in an on-screen romance with Lita at the time, about who could sleep with their respective woman first.One week later, Stratus and Lita confronted the men about their actions, leading to a feud between the two men and women which resulted in a "Battle of the Sexes" match at Armageddon, which the women lost.Her relationship with Jericho continued into the next year with a new angle of Jericho developing feelings for Stratus. Christian would also briefly turn face once again, but would quickly turn heel once more by doing a one night betrayal on Stratus and starting a feud with Jericho.
During a match at WrestleMania XX, however, Stratus became a heel for the first time since her debut by betraying Jericho and siding with Christian, Stratus claimed her reasons for siding with Christian were that he was a real man and Jericho was a love sick puppy.
Trish and Lita Main Event Raw
Stratus won the Women's Championship for a fifth time at Bad Blood on June 13.She continued to defend the title against numerous challengers before losing the championship to Lita on December 6 when both women wrestled in the main event of Raw for the championship.
Psycho Mickie James
The odd relationship between Stratus and James continued into 2006, with the two Divas competing against each other in a title match at New Year's Revolution, where Stratus emerged victorious.Despite the defeat, James continued to be enamored of Stratus which made her feel uncomfortable, and on March 6, Stratus confronted James, telling her that she needed space.The duo briefly reconciled on the March 18 episode of Saturday Night's Main Event, teaming together to defeat Candice Michelle and Victoria; however, after the match James turned on Stratus and attacked her.
A match at WrestleMania 22 saw Stratus lose the Women's Championship to James.
Retirement
In late August, Lita stated that Stratus would retire following the Unforgiven pay-per-view, which was later confirmed by Stratus.
At Unforgiven on September 17, in her hometown of Toronto, Stratus won against Lita with fellow Canadian Bret Hart's signature submission maneuver, the Sharpshooter.Her victory earned her a seventh WWE Women's Championship, the most in WWE history, and she retired as the champion.
WWE HOF Announcement
On the January 28, 2013, episode of Raw, Stratus was announced as a WWE Hall of Fame inductee as part of the 2013 class, making her the youngest Hall of Fame inductee ever at 37. Stephanie McMahon was chosen by Stratus to induct her into the Hall of Fame in April.
