8. Trish Stratus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wJ9cbnwsXU The only woman to make the list is the lovely fitness model turned wrestler Trish Stratus. I had a crush on her. If you were watching WWE during her career from 2000 to 2006 you might have too. She's the one that guys wanted to hang out with not just because she's ridiculously hot, but she has a great personality too. What impressed me the most about Trish was her ability to relate to a crowd whether she was a face or a heel. Most of her career was spent as a babyface, but her heel work was really great too. The most memorable face run she had was her feud with Mickie James in late 2005/early 2006 when Mickie was a stalker fan and Trish was the veteran champion who had to deal with a lot of awkward situations whenever Mickie was around her. Trish put her over at WrestleMania 22 and it's remembered as one of the best diva feuds ever, as it should be. Her heel turn on Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 20 was excellent as she joined forces with Christian. All of them are Canadian, by the way. Then she had a memorable heel run as Divas Champion where she showed she could act like an arrogant bitch just like she should play the role as a confident good girl. Trish made a lot of history in WWE as a 7-time Women's Champion, she was the Diva of the Decade in the 2000s and in 2013 she was inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame as well. Her biggest accomplishment was that she groundbreaking in the sense that she paved the way for a lot of women that came from a modelling background. Why do you think WWE is always recruiting fitness models? Because they're always looking for the next Trish Stratus. As we know, there's only one and she's a Canadian.
