I think Lita's neck injury pretty much ruined her career. She toned down her style, which didn't bother me, but it was almost as if she thought about it alot and thus more botches. I'm also under the opinion that the Love Triangle actually rejuvinated her career. And as for Trish/Lita comparisons... Trish is the Mario to Lita's Sonic. So, compared to Lita, Trish is a fat Italian guy?

Trish and Lita were fairly notable and worked well because they had genuine, memorable personalities. Stratus was the bitch heel, but she did it so well, and had enough credibility in the role to make it her own. Same with Lita when she was a babyface. Both came off as believable characters, even after both switched heel/face positions. And unlike Victoria, Molly, and various others, they managed to end their tenure without having their personal characteristics stripped away.
That, to me, is the legacy of both. Being the last two female wrestlers to have enough charisma and personality to seperate them from the typical generic divas.

Love triangle or no, I don't think much would've changed. Lita as a face, when she turned, was stale as hell, so regardless, someone would've caught on to that, and turned her anyway. And as far as why she retired, if she was catching crap from people in the back, they were probably bringing up her "payment plan" for getting trained down in Mexico. So, wouldn't she be dealing with the abuse anyway, triangle or not?
She brought a unique style of women's wrestling to the mainstream, and she should be commended for that. Just change your band name already. Luchagors? Come on.

That was a serious reply---be used as the token female to convince audiences Legacy isn't actually gay with no Edge/Lita/Matt there would be no "village bicycle" comments about her.
