Trish Stratus's 8 Most Embarrassing WWE Moments

2. The Jackie Gayda Debacle

Undoubtedly one of the most embarrassing moments of Trish's career came during a tag-team match on Raw in 2002. Teaming with Bradshaw, Stratus faced both Christopher Nowinski and Jackie Gayda. For her part, Gayda had been part of the second season of 'Tough Enough'. She'd won the competition, but appeared badly prepared to work a match on WWE television. As soon as Gayda entered the ring, she looked completely confused. Waving her arms around awkwardly, she didn't have a clue how to work even the most basic of spots with Trish. Absolutely everything the women tried looked disjointed and far from smooth. An attempted Bulldog from the turnbuckle to end the match turned into a Clothesline, and Gayda's delayed response made it look terrible. Pinning her opponent, Trish looked mortified as her music played. She couldn't take her eyes off a prone Gayda, who had attempted to kick out during the pinfall attempt. Trish Stratus was the more experienced woman in this match, and would have been expected to help lead Jackie Gayda through things. Unfortunately, she was helpless, and couldn't make up for Gayda's shortcomings.
