Take all of the components that made every other women's wrestler on this list great. Then, toss in the attributes that made Sunny AOL's number one most downloaded celebrity of 1996 and Sable, Chyna, Torrie Wilson, Ashley Massaro, Maria Kanellis, Christy Hemme and Candice Michelle Playboy centerfolds, and you get Trish Stratus. Morphing from a valet to a women's wrestler by 2001, Stratus quickly picked up the mat game and over six years was the WWE Women's Champion on seven occasions. From main eventing Raw to literally inventing a Matrix-like feint to avoid being attacked, Trish did it all. They don't call her the "Quintessential WWE Diva" for nothing, right?
