yeah I gotta agree with Tommy here. Trish should be on par with Sherri if not a little better. I think seeing those two go toe to toe in the ring in LOW would be a highly entertaining match. Plus Trish is Canadian and Canadians have always been awesome wrestlers.

Well, whatever, but whomever makes up her card will have to add some "moves" for her. You can only put punch, kick, and bulldog once.

They got moves on Missing Link's card. Trish would be fine.

Being hard on Trish.....she was actually pretty good. She was capable of putting on good matches (Heck she once got STEPHANIE MCMAHON to have a good match)

I am not trying to be mean or rude or anything. One of the reasons I don't talk wrestling on message boards is because my view or wrestling is vastly different from almost all American fans. If you asked me to name the 10 best wrestlers in the world today, no one would have a list similar to mine. Number one, not one WWE or TNA wrestler would be on my list. Only Steve Regal would even come close. This is not saying WWE wrestlers are bad, it is just that they are having to work the "sports entertainment" style which is very limiting and does not allow for great matches, with the Wrestlemania exception. But most wrestling fans watch the WWE and that is all they think wrestling is, not knowing there is much better styles out there.
Obviously, Trish was the best Diva style wrestler. But that is not the only style. Joshi is the superior style for womens wrestling, and Trish would not even rank in the top 100 under that style. And you can't combine the styles to rank then as they are so different. This does not negate Trish as a great athlete and entertainer, as well as one of the most beautiful women in the world.
But in the Legend world, then it is all good. I don't know how things are decided, but you can't make everyone happy as people are people and we all have different opinions. But I am not opposed to a Trish card.

Trust me, I'm as old school as old school can be...but I think you may be a bit hard on Trish. I see a girl who went from just eye candy to a girl who tried her butt off and tried to give the fans the best show each time she stepped in the ring (unlike many guys). I think she'd be just under Sherri....

I may be a bit harsh, but I spent the past 20 years watching women in Japan. Only now have the women here in the US come close to that level. And it has only been in the indies, and some with TNA. None of the WWE girls are anywhere near that level.
I am not saying it is a bad thing, as if obviously sells for the WWE. But I wonder how long it would sell if US fans were shown Joshi style wrestling.
But other than that. I agree Trish would be a great addition to LOW, and well, maybe even sell some.

It would be good to add, that all my posts, are in my opinion.

My only point is that the Legends cards are rated from a kayfabe standpoint...William Regal, good as he is, should only be midcard at best, because he's never really risen above that from a kayfabe standpoint.
Goldberg, a vastly inferior performer from just about every definable measure (depending on your take on the piped in "Goldberg" chants), would have a much more loaded card, for instance, because he was booked to utterly dominate everyone he faced in WCW and half the guys he faced in WWE.
