"What the hell is going on here!?"

Those words, screamed by Jim Ross after Trish slapped the yellow off of Chris Jericho's teeth at WrestleMania XX brilliantly sold Stratus' heel turn. JR was then in his element as he decried the Canadian beauty and her new lover Christian as horrendous people. Good times.

The build up to this turn was simply superb; Jericho played the role of love sick puppy to perfection, Trish showed her acting chops as a coy woman falling for Y2J, whilst Christian stuck his nose in where it wasn't wanted and tried to convince his "best friend" that Stratus wasn't worth it. Then, he and the wicked witch screwed Jericho.

Admittedly, the actual turn was the best part of their partnership. Christian and Trish weren't together for very long, but they had a winning angle that heaped sympathy on Jericho, and both Christian's insufferable gloating and alliance with Stratus made him more of a star.
