A end of era did come.

In the year that UFC is getting 600,000 buys...

In year that ECW came back...with limited success...

There is one constently honest truth.

The Modern Womens Wrestling Era is over.

Not that it ended in a wimper, by the way.

The simple fact is that Trish Stratus, given all the challanges, the hate, and some times the overly stalking love from fans and detractors- is a talent.

The fact that some great matches are done with very little moves only shows why one division has been conistant even despite how the men mess it up, and the booking and so on.

A 30 year history, starting in 1976- with its peak starting in the 90's and the ladies of FMW, and one Magumi Kudo, the queen of all of Joshi at that time (despite the amazing work of Toyota, Kong and Kandori)...Trish belongs to those Goddess.

If there is one thing the WWE did right in these dark times, is that they have 80% of the time- they have left the Woman's Division alone. Granted, in 2004- the Division could have reached greater hights. However, that didnt happen.

But the matches from 2005 between Lita-Trish-Mickie at times Victoria were very well done. They hate it because its not Joshi- but you have to give some credit, before Fit Finley went to Smackdown, he trained the Divas. And you see aspets of this wonderful pro star in that division. Luckly, were just seeing Finley in action- and how truly good he is. But the Division never let up.

In fact, it had the best storyline of 2005-2006 with Trish/Mickie. And one of the better matches too.

In the end however, Lita and Trish was Kandori and Chigusa. Basicly, the best the women have to offer.

It a sad time in the business right now. But last night was a small memorial bright spot in the cloud of darkness and abstractness in the business.

Miss Stratus, Thanks. Thats all one fan has to say. Your the last of a kind, and we all wish you well.
