Thanks for reading the Stratusfaction 411
Newsletter. This week we look back at Trish's history and celebrate 3 Years
of our favorite Maple Leaf beauty.
Trish takes Heat and WWE!
 Trish
Stratus takes Heat by storm as she struts way with Test and Albert. She
leads T&A stealing every show in heated rivalry between "her boys" and those
that dare challenge them. Trish's boys
never gained tag team gold but that was alright for them, they were
enforcers. Major rivalry between the Hardy Boyz, the Dudleys, and Too Cool
aired every night till the era of T&A came to a close. While Trish was away,
scouting brighter futures, Stephanie McMahon worked on putting an end to
T&A.
McMahon's B#^%!
 Even
with T&A, it was clear the Trish was meant to be the dominate female in the
WWE. When she caught the eye of WWE's boss, Vince McMahon, she set her sites
on achieving just that. Trish had Vince eating out of the palm of her hand
till she openly challenged Stephanie as Daddy's Little Girl.
 Losing
one of the most brutal matches in Trish's career to Stephanie was no small
pain until Vince's intentions toward Trish were revealed on the next raw.
Vince began a campaign to humiliate Trish and
succeed having her nearly strip down in the middle of the ring until he was
satisfied. Trish would soon get her revenge though setting up Vince and
Stephanie for the surprise of a life time when she light up Wrestlemania 17
by betraying him and winning the hearts of every WWE fan.
The Champ
 Free of Vince and looking to do things the "right way" 100%
Stratusfaction was born. She set her sites on becoming the woman we all know
today until an accident nearly stole her light. A bone fragment had come off
her heel and she was in need of surgery. She ceased the opportunity to
co-host WWE's Excess, a WWE news show with the Coach.
While Trish took on the role of hostess she secretly trained
in the background. Upon her return Chyna had moved on and there was no
Women's Champion. Trish saw the opportunity to reveal her new moves, her new
style, and true Stratusfaction coming in as the underdog for the infamous
Six-Pack Challenge for the Women's Title. In the toughest battle of her
career Trish walked out Women's Champion and the division would never be the
same again.
Trish, the Champ, wasn't the only thing that came out of the
Six-Pack Challenge at Survivor Series though. It introduced the toughest, meanest, and deadliest competitor Trish would ever face, Jazz. Trish battle
Jazz and eventually lost her belt to Jazz suffering a major hand injury that
would continue to haunt her even after losing in her hometown Toronto at
Wrestlemania 18. This wouldn't stop Trish though, with the aid of Buba Rey
Dudley, Trish put Jazz through a table, delivering sweet revenge and putting
Jazz on the injury list. Trish reclaimed her belt and waited for her next
challenger.
 Enter Molly Holly. Though Molly had been with the WWE for a
long time she'd never achieved center stage until both Jazz and Lita were
gone. Molly set her sights on Trish and forced Trish to show just how good
she really was. Trish fought hard, but was unable to win with Molly cheating
her way to gold. Finally, at Unforgiven, Trish would regain her belt, for a
short time becoming a three time Women's Champion. But two deadly rivals
from Trish's pasted were taking their time waiting for a chance to strike...
Same Face, New Song
 Victoria's arrival to the WWE changed everything for Trish.
With 2002 rapidly coming to an end, Lita and Jazz still out, the WWE needed
something new and Victoria took her chance to take revenge on Trish for
holding her back.
Victoria quickly struck, taking out her jealous anger on the
two time Internet Babe of the Year, three time Women's Champion. Though not
as brutal as Jazz, Victoria was a powerful new enemy with a collection of
moves that would rival Trish while having the intensity of Jazz.
With a new entrance music, the title, and her trademark style
Trish met the challenge until losing to Victoria her. That did keep Trish
down, the two women sent ripples through the WWE as hardcore
matches once again return to Raw, but this time between two
women. Fans would be wowed by some of the greatest performances ever and
everyone would celebrate as Trish was award Diva of the Decade at the Raw
10th anniversary.
 Trish didn't
spend much time celebrate though, she wanted gold around her waist and the memorable Chicago
Street Fight was just around the corner with danger waiting. No one will ever
forgotten this match nor will they forget the brutal attack Jazz delivered
to Trish when Victoria managed to pull out the victory only to watch from
the top of the ramp as Jazz delivered every trademark move in her arsenal on
the exhausted Trish who was all but defenseless against her. Though
the attack put her off Raw, Trish is back and revealing why she is without a
doubt the queen of
Wrestling. She has appeared on MadTV, has a current
article about the woman behind the character in Maclean's, and upcoming
pieces in Flare Magazine and Ontario Golf. With the Triple threat match
nearly two weeks away at the upcoming Pay-per-view, Wrestlemania XIX, only Vince
knows who will claim gold. |
