You'd rightly be scratching your head when viewing the attached pic above. Trish Stratus, the feature of this entry, isn't even there. Instead, martial arts hard nut Steve Blackman is booting a human block of cheese in the stomach as Al Snow looks on helplessly.

By the time that was happening, Trish was already backstage eyeing up the showers.

Yes, one of WWE's best female talents ever played second fiddle to Chester bloody McCheeserton during her WrestleMania debut in 2000. It's a wonder she didn't immediately inform the company that this wrestling thing wasn't for her, and fancied going back to glamour shoots.

Stratus' job that night was to manage T&A against Snow and Blackman in a seven-minute nothing of a match that made fans question whether or not Sunday Night Heat was over. Surely this couldn't be 'Mania's main card? It was, and future Hall Of Fame inductee Trish was hidden behind the ongoing 'Head Cheese' nonsense stinking up screens.
