10 Biggest Wrestling Hometown Pops EVER

10. Trish Stratus In Toronto - Unforgiven 2006

You don’t get a memorable pop without a strong emotion behind it; the reaction of a live crowd is the greatest demonstration of emotional investment in this soap opera with superkicks and spandex.

Trish Stratus is quite rightfully lauded as one of the most important women in sports entertainment history and, as such, she had a connection with the WWE audience. Amongst the underwhelming at best and downright humiliating at worst booking of the female stars, Stratus shined in the time she was given bell-to-bell and with a microphone.

In August 2006, long-time rival Lita kayfabe leaked Stratus’ intentions to retire, which Stratus confirmed. The time was right for Trish, as the next month the WWE were heading to Canada for the Unforgiven pay-per-view. There, Trish and Lita had their final showdown for the women’s championship.

Whilst they only had 11 minutes with which to work, the Toronto crowd was invested throughout. Ebbing and flowing, the bout ends with Trish cinching a sharpshooter, prompting certainly the loudest cheer during a women's match to that point. Stratus left Toronto, and the WWE for the time being, claiming the prize for the seventh time.

Fans were truly Stratusified.
