7 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE WrestleMania XIX
6. Girls Gone Wild
Jazz, Trish Stratus and Victoria provided a spiritual sequel to the WrestleMania 18 three-way clash, with Lita's replacement Victoria and safer placement on the card providing an even more satisfying outcome. The last 12 months had proved astonishing for Trish in particular - she'd exponentially improved as a wrestler, becoming doyen of a reinvented division in the wake of the first brand extension.
Victoria and Jazz were intense heels, sharing the load of smashing the sh*t out of Stratus before her eventual re-emergence. A double shoulder-breaker on Stratus was particularly innovative and ferocious and spoke to the innovative efforts that often went ignored.
The finishing sequence spoke to how well thought-out the contest had been. Victoria's valet Stevie Richards ran interference with a steel chair with Jazz disposed on the arena floor, but after nailing him with a hard Stratusfaction bulldog, Trish reversed Victoria's Widow Peak to leather the champion with a killer Chick Kick for the climactic title victory.
