10 WWE Superstars That Got Out At The Right Time
9. Trish Stratus
Until a lauded "revolution" in 2015, Trish Stratus was rightfully considered the greatest women's wrestler in WWE history.
She had not the title reigns of The Fabulous Moolah nor the legacy of Mae Young, but eclipsed both of them on star power alone following a career that kicked off during the company's commercial and critical peak.
From 2000-2006, Stratus exhibited repeated and marked improvement in just about every area. As a promo she grew enormously in confidence from her early days as the stilted manager of Test and Albert, to the point where she was entrusted in the controversial early-2001 programme with Vince McMahon that at least provided a mammoth WrestleMania payoff.
From there, she survived the potential death of the women's division to rebuild it in her image alongside Lita, Molly Holly, Jazz, Victoria and others than desperately attempted to make the matches about the matches, rather than the exposed skin of the competitors within them.
Retiring as Champion at Unforgiven 2006, returns haven't been diminished since. When she has made fleeting appearances, she's bettered and bolstered shows rather than bogging them down as so many other returning legends do.
