10 Things We Learned From Lita On Stone Cold’s Broken Skull Sessions Podcast

See that red outfit on the left above? That was one Lita purchased whilst managing Essa Rios (mainly on episodes of Heat), but a backstage conversation with Edge would plant seeds that'd change her career forever. The tag-teamer wanted to know what gear Lita had been shopping for that day.

She pulled the red attire out, put it on and had a black thong peeking out over the bottom half. The Diva said it obviously wouldn't look like that on camera, and Edge replied that it wouldn't be the worst idea. No, this wasn't some throwaway pervy comment; the future 'Rated-R Superstar' pointed out that nobody else had that look on TV.

Lita put that thought "in [her] back pocket" and used it when she started teaming with Matt and Jeff Hardy as 'Team Xtreme'. Basically, Edge was the one who created that trademark 'thong sticking out above the pants' look that fans came to know and love.

Marketing genius.
