Trish Stratus recently appeared on the “Getting Over” podcast to discuss a variety of topics, including her time performing in the “Divas” era and working alongside Fit Finlay.
The WWE Hall of Famer credited Finlay for elevating the matches for the women’s division.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Finlay’s decision to alter the execution of the women’s matches: “So we were like, ‘Yeah they want us to have a catfight, maybe we’re not going to pull the hair and slap, maybe we’ll chop and punch instead.’”
On how they managed to get away with the changes: “The lucky thing for us, at the time, we were so under the radar, really no one was paying attention to us. So we took it upon ourselves to use that to our advantage and just start having these legit matches and start putting together some good stuff that fans suddenly went from chanting, ”We want puppies’ to ‘holy sh*t, this is real action.’”
