Lita and Trish Stratus left behind a legacy. They contributed heavily to the women’s division, and paved a path for the young wrestlers who wanted to make it big in the company.
“There’s so much history behind us. We had the opportunity to develop as characters through being valets as well. It’s like a forgotten art, being a valet. It’s a great way to establish character.. we got the opportunity to do inter-gender stuff. We had that match. Her and Rock versus me and Triple H. Things like that, like main event, crazy stuff, like spoke to the audience.”
“We were riding together, we were on this journey together.. to share that, it was super special. We just kept in touch. She became like my son’s Godmother.. to be really part of the family.”
