10 Pointless Acts Of Wrestling Bravery That Were Totally Forgotten
3. Thrown In The Mud
As Mickie James has been espousing in her embittered return promos, the recent WWE women's revolution would be nothing without those that suffered in far more trying times.
And suffer Trish Stratus did, as she desperately attempted to attach a shred of credibility to yet another exploitative and condescending women's segment on an August 2002 episode of Monday Night Raw.

It's actions such as this that place Trish in an upper echelon of female performers, even amongst a 2017 crop more talented than any prior generation to be featured by the company.
