Looking back on the WWE career of Trish Stratus reveals that the beloved Canadian couldn't hold a candle to the kind of world class female action fans see from the likes of Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks today. It's simply true that Trish was good for her time, and the era she worked wasn't too concerned with women actually shining once the bell rang.

That doesn't mean Stratus didn't excel at all though. The perfect example of that would be Survivor Series 2002.

Opposing Victoria in a feud that displayed bitterness between both women due to their respective modelling careers, the pair would have their best match in a Hardcore setting at Survivor Series; favouring stiff strikes and weapon shots fans weren't accustomed to seeing from WWE Divas, Victoria and Stratus succeeded in piecing together a classic.

Why this match doesn't get more love is baffling, because it's one of the finest female bouts WWE have ever produced.
