Lita vs. Trish Stratus main-eventing the 6 December 2004 Raw is rightly regarded as a historic moment for women's wrestling in WWE. However, look back on it now and you'll find a fairly-short, seven-minute effort that pales in comparison to some of the female brilliance on offer in WWE and AEW these days.

Those who lived through this time period appreciate that Lita and Trish broke down barriers, but the match is hardly some in-ring classic you must go out of your way to see. Sorry, but it isn't. In fact, some will be slightly disappointed if they hear the hype then watch it for the first time in 2023.

Whilst it is important to applaud building blocks for the women's game like this one, it simply isn't true that the match was world class fare. WWE's women had way better to come a decade or so later, but Lita and Stratus did help that revolution along.
