WWE's ECW started off with three brand-exclusive Divas the vicious Ariel, the vivacious Kelly Kelly, and the voluptuous Trinity. Internet fans were excited, as Trinity was well known for her high-risk, aerial offense. With Lita retiring, many fans expected Trinity to be pushed as the next Queen of Extreme. Instead, Trinity was used as a valet a couple of times, took part in a Halloween Costume Contest (that she actually won), and played Extreme Strip Poker against the likes of Kristal Marshall and Maria Kanellis. Trinity lasted only a few days over a year in WWE, and that was a damn shame considering all of the crazy antics she was able to pull off in the ring on both men and women. This was a woman who pulled off a Moonsault from the top-rope to the outside of the ring during a catfight with Kelly and Francine Fournier at a House Show! Why we were never allowed to see such a thing on television is head-scratching. Built and statuesque, Trinity could have easily gone toe-to-toe with Victoria, Beth Phoenix, Mickie James, or Melina Perez and would have been able to offer something completely different from any other lady on the roster. Trinity competed in a handful of House Show matches, but never wrestled on television, much to the chagrin of the fans who wanted to see her pull off some of her crazier acrobatics in the ring. While we never got to see her throw down with WWE's greatest, we'll always have memories of how she made caution tape both sexy and fashionable.
