To justbringit, Lita has a history of sleeping with multiple guys? Really? Not a lot of people only sleep with one person in their entire life, the woman’s had what, 4 boyfriends we officially know of, it’s hardly a truckload.

Oh and to the people who wrote this article, Lita main evented RAW in 2000 with Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley before she main evented with Trish.

This poll was basically a chance for you Trish haters/Lita fans to give your girl a victory. You guys are so sick of Trish getting accolades, and you finally stuffed the ballot box enough to deny her something. Congrats. Trish fans didn’t care about the result nearly as much, because as you guys so elegantly put it, she “wins everything”. Boo hoo. Now Lita won, and you will hopefully shut up. Trish will keep doing what she’s doing, getting offers left and right, while Lita can perform her music in front of sold out crowds of 20 people in a bar.

Just to clear any misunderstandings, I’m not, by any means, claiming that Trish Stratus was the greatest wrestler in the history of women’s wrestling. She wasn’t; however, I would go as far as to say that she was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, entertainers in the history of women’s wrestling—the total package, which is why she has won and will continue to win numerous awards.

In conclusion, xflygurlx16, I believe you to be irrational if you can say that Trish Stratus shouldn’t win anymore awards because “she’s won enough over the years.” I also believe you to be immature because of the last comment you made, whether or not it was directed towards me.

Just for my own satisfaction… Agent E, charisma isn’t evaluated by how much reaction a superstar can generate from the crowd. A great example of this would be Ivory. She had (and still has) a ton of charisma, but she never got the reactions that Trish Stratus and Lita could get on any given night. Does that mean she was stale and boring? I don’t think so, but maybe you do. I think you’re measuring popularity here, and popularity is not the same thing as charisma. Again, for my own satisfaction…

@ kerry246 – you say lita “faked” the punk image. today, amy dumas is the lead singer of her punk-rock band. need i say more? hell…it’s been a while since i’ve done this. she wasn’t fake in the least. her popularity with the fans was not just in her ability to connect with them in ways that didn’t just involve blonde hair and T&A…it was her attitude, and her REALNESS. lita didn’t play a character, she was the same person in and out of the ring. it wasn’t until her later years with the company that you can argue that she was playing a character. i don’t see how she was “rammed down our throats”, the wwe saw the popularity she gained, and they utilized it to the fullest. that’s what they do best after all…they did this again during the whole lita, edge, matt hardy saga, putting her personal life on display for the world to see…why? because it’s what the people wanted to see.

i don’t see how there can be arguements in her winning by “lita fans” coming together and voting over and over again for her. if that’s so then why didn’t she win diva dirt’s queen of the ring, when the final two were the same two women involved in this tournament? and being a lita fan, i have to say…i don’t come across too many people who are still as loyal to call themselves a “fan” of hers. i honestly think this was a very well deserved victory for amy. i believe people who may not have liked lita as much as trish, or even people who have lita at the bottom of their favorites list, still voted for her in appreciation for what she did, and contributed during her time spent as a diva.

you look at her last day with the company, and you look at trish’s. a storybook ending for trish, and a send-off royally unfit for a woman who dedicated seven years of her life to the company. you look at all the awards and recognition trish gets over and over again…this is the least that amy deserves for her time entertaining wrestling fans as “lita.”

congratulations amy :)

Moving on to more important though not so pressing matters…

Both women deserve recognition. Both of them left their own mark in the industry. They had their own strengths and their own weaknesses. If it was possible to have a tie, I would’ve gone for that. And as much as I would like to rationalize why I admire them… I’d rather state that the connection was mostly visceral. :)

:::Okay Trish had more charisma than Lita.:::
Sorry, amare135, but I’d have to disagree. Lita had entire arenas chanting her name as a face, and had entire arenas throwing jibes at her as a heel. I don’t remember anyone starting a chant for Trish other than ‘We want puppies!’

They’re like the bookends of this decade’s women’s division. Sure it might’ve been as fun to watch the division without one of them, but would it have been nearly as exciting? Nope. And hopefully Lita will find out about this and maybe it’ll bring a smile to her face, knowing that there are fans who know how much she contributed to the division and how this is a way of saying thank you for all you did.

Speaking (or writing, in this case) as a Lita fan, I am happy with her winning this award (albeit shocked, cause I did expect Trish to win again), since Trish won the Pro Illustrated one.

Trish has by far gone down as the most popular diva in history because of the buildup she received. Had Lita remained a face throughout her career, I think things would have ended differently for both divas. Looking back to late 2000-early 2001, Lita got chants and cheers like no other, including Trish. So, it’s a shame that her character ended the way it did, because given the proper development, she would have also had her story-book ending…

Comparing Lita to Trish and Trish to Lita, in my opinion, does not do either diva justice. As some of you have mention, they both helped each other. They started around the same time, and whether they were friends or foes, they fed off of each other. They were different… they had different images, different characters, different ring-styles and moves. So comparing one to the other, is like comparing apples and oranges…

I personally don’t think one is better than the other, they both contributed to the women’s division in different ways and ultimately both should be recognized for their hard work.

.

anyway i always liked both divas, at least they both have a diva of the decade title to there name now

and whether you wish to admit it or not trish helped lita’s career and vise versa,
and aarguing over who is better is stupid, because a fan isn’t going to change there mind, you may as well yell at your wall for an hour

*Keep bleeding,keep,keep bleeding love,I keep bleeding,….*

For the record, congrats to Lita on being voted at Diva of the Decade.

I never liked Lita, mainly because of a lot of her fans who are incredibly childish and use playground-style name-calling and have some sort of vendetta against any other woman of wrestling who comes close to Lita’s popularity – why get so defensive if she is so “amazing and talented”?

People can not see past the over-hyped bravado that surrounded Lita when she was first part of WWE – she was NOT a good wrestler, she was NOT good on the mic or in storylines and just because she had red hair, a few tattoos and wore “punk” clothing, they think that made her original and unique. Well it didn’t.

Original and unique was when a blonde fitness model broke down barriers for women who look like her in professional wrestling by being able to prove critics and braindead fans wrong about women who look like her. She didn’t need a fake “punk” image or to be rammed down fans throats by the WWE marketing machine like Lita was. Lita just showed how any sub-par female wrestler can come into WWE and be made into a so-called icon and top female, just by tireless over-promotion and a few fans jumping on the bandwagon because their too idiotic to realize that there were women better than Lita before she came along and during that same time.

RKOyou wrong Alundra Blaze invented the Stratusfaction back in the 90′s another name stilll same move matrish used in mexico but okay evry move is used just wanted to clear it our have a goos day everybody lol

One person has been banned already for instigating drama. If you can’t have a civil debate without turning to name calling and shouting/swearing at each other, go do it somewhere else.

also trish invented the stratusphere,the move where you do a cartwheel on your opponents head and bring them down from the top rope,thats another move trish invented

and the ma-trish,a move she made popular and is a move fellow diva melina is using now

trish and lita both have amazing qualities but niether is better then the other,Lita was not perfect

If you can’t stand the heat,get out of the frikking kitchen damn it!
