You can't compare Trish's sendoff to Lita's Trish got the Godess sendoff because her character was basically "Godess of wrestling" Has Lita ever said if she had a problem with it? Or is it just angry interwebz folks who complain? From the looks of it Lita was fine with it, of course she may just be a good professional. Im fairly certian that Lita was really uneasy with her sendoff Has she been quoted as saying that or is that just your opinion? Not grilling you, I just don't know if she actually said it. I didn't get that feeling from watching the video.

i have read as well that lita didn't like the sendoff they gave her, and she said that when she came back for the homecoming thing (when sunny and trish came back) that she though that was a better sendoff.

Meh. If they were going to do the "humiliation" thing as her send off...which I am not entirely sure they should have....they should AT LEAST have had Matt Hardy be the one selling the stuff off, like maybe from a shared storage facility that they had together once upon a time, that Lita, in kayfabe, "forgot to pay her share of the rent on". Have Matt be live via satellite, with a crowd of people around him, giving him money for her stuff. Yeah, you could have panties, or even slutty lingerie, and maybe even a "sex video" (which would be just a blank tape in reality) and you would keep it short. Instead of her crying hysterically, and being on the verge of tears, she could just leave, head down, her moment RUINED by Matt. Her commupance is complete. Something like THAT, would have given the entire thing between her and Matt some closure, would have served the same purpose as the Cryme Tyme thing, though it would have kept the scenario between two people who had TIES to each other. THAT was the thing that bothered me the most about it all: Here you have one of the greatest women performers of all time, and you want her to be humiliated by this noob tag-team who's done all of jack AND **** in the Tag division? What the hell? What ties do THEY have to her? And the stuff with the dildo/vibrator was WAAAAY over the line, IMO. They might as well have been selling a pair of Fishman's old tights, complete with "stains", if they were going to be THAT tasteless.

Shame how that the girl left the WWE though. But. All in all..she brought it upon herself. And there isn't a double standard about that at all... Has Lita ever said if she had a problem with it? Or is it just angry interwebz folks who complain? From the looks of it Lita was fine with it, of course she may just be a good professional. There's an interview on her myspace page where she goes into quite a bit of detail on how much she hated that angle. blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=157842924&blogID=428554552

I stand corrected. She's quite the professional to go through with it.

As a huge Lita fan, I had no problem with the manner of her sendoff, but I thought they went too far with it. I always like the old-school idea of when your leave a promotion, you leave on a low and you put people over on your way out. When Jericho left the first time he was carried out by security, Bischoff was thrown in a garbage truck. When you are as over as they were, you deserve a high-profile exit, not one where your name just stops getting mentioned.
In the same way, I disagreed with Trish's sendoff - winning the title in her last match? Not even Flair had that, and Trish is in no way the female Flair.
Lita was probably the most over women's wrestler there has been since Wendi Richter. Someone earlier mentioned that Lita was the only woman in two Raw main events - not only that, but she won the title in them both. She was getting too much heat to have a Victoria style turn and face goodbye, and too much heat to never be mentioned again.

I agree with everything except that Lita was the most over woman since Richter. Lita isn't fit to carry Trish's bags in that regard. Trish >>>>>>>>>>> Lita

Trish was more over because she was pushed as Top Face non-stop for years, while Lita got the Heel spot instead.
Not to mention Trish was the proverbial one-eyed man in the land if the blind...

Who do you think was more over Wendi Richter or Lita?
I don't remember Richter because she left right before I started watching wrestling. But from what I've read about her, she was really poplar.

Oh, God yes, I miss Lita. Especially after seeing the pictures in this thread.
I think I'll go miss her for a while longer. I'll be in my bunk.

It always pissed me off how when Trish was retiring, she was awarded with another title reign which obviously ended before it really began. Yet when Lita was retiring, she was boo'd and Cryme Tyme humiliated her.
Then Victoria retires, everyone is sad, and she gets pinned in a match where Victoria would obviously slaughter Michelle McCool. Plus they didn't even air her speech.

Indeed. Also, the going away party Edge threw for Lita was very sweet, such as getting PEEWEE FREAKIN' HERMAN to say hi to her on video, and Carlito singing Happy Birthday for no reason.

Lita was the Macho Man to Trish's Hulk.

Despite being a dangerous worker Lita was pretty over, especially in her early days when she outshined Papi chulu by such a massive amount you knew she'd be big.

Arguably the only woman besides Chyna who could attack a guy and he'd sell, with no one thinking it odd.
