Women's wrestling has changed since 2006, and thank God for that.

Lita has made it known before that she wasn't keen on the retirement angle WWE had in mind for Survivor Series 2006. The departing legend was happy to lose to Mickie James on the pay-per-view, but she didn't think much of the erm...banter that followed.

Cryme Tyme were booked to come out, interrupt the moment and auction off some of Lita's personal items to the live crowd in Philadelphia. The segment was rudely referred to as a "ho sale" by the tag-team, and Lita was roundly humiliated - Cryme Tyme sold off lingerie, and found a pack of Monistat (a cream used to treat vaginal yeast infections) in her bag.

This wasn't the way to go out, and Lita knew it. She was "super uncool" with the idea, and repeatedly tried to get it changed by writers and Vince McMahon in the weeks leading up to the event. Neither he nor his creative team were having any of it.
