Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2004 Evil Trish. I just can't get into this...the whole smug attitude and prissy laughing deal after everything she says just seems to come off more as awful acting rather than being a great heel. I think if they tone her down and just keep her promos and backstage bits overly simple she could make a decient heel. But right now I just cringe everytime she starts talking, it's just not that convincing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2004 Trish Stratus, you have been accused of ripping off a Nicole Sullivan character. How do you plead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Thrashist Report post Posted October 26, 2004 She is excellent. At least in the context of the women's division, which has improved so so much since its creation in recent years in the wrestling department, but lacking considerably in the character department. Basically, it's easier to put out a hot looking female babyface out there with no personality, but the female heel should have that personality to back it up. Molly can only do so much, and there's not much to Jazz, so Trish is injecting some much-needed help here. Unfortunately, it looks like she's the only area of interest in the entire women's division, when a year ago to me it was looking the exact opposite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2004 It's the best womens character in the WWE, but there isn't very much competition against her. It's so forced and "acted". She does some nice stuff, like tonight with her puffing, but overall it's a sketch character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2004 I love her as a heel. Yes, she does rip off Nicole Sullivan, but who cares? No one watches MadTV, and that's a pretty dated character anyways. I love the little things she does in the ring especially. Molly is pretty good at yelling at the crowd, but Trish amplifies it. As for her overacting, it's welcomed, in my opinion. When you have so many girls who rely on the "sexy vixen" persona as a heel character, it's great to see a girl who goes so over the top to get people to hate her. Frankly, she has to, because of her good looks and how she's been promoted in the past (hottest girl in the company). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Paulster Report post Posted October 26, 2004 I think she is great as a heel in the current form. She's got the entire 'love to hate' type persona going on very well, and the over-the-top uber-ditz is just played so well by her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2004 Well, I care. Since every time I listen to her I expect her to say "Cha.. Ya Know Wha? UH UH!", it's just bad acting that looks good cause RAW is full of REALLY bad acting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jester 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2004 The problem with Trish as a heel is that the faces in the women's division are beyond weak. Victoria, Nidia, and Lita? Two have no personality, and the other is a complete moron, and when Trish sounds off her, she's the one who sounds reasonable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2004 Molly is consistant enough with her character, regarding how she acts, speaks, carries herself, ect. The writers aren't though. You're right: Molly shouldn't have been aligned with Trish. Really, none of the heel girls should be aligned with Trish unless a group is formed. Which shouldn't happen. Ever.

strummer 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2004 I've said this a lot before, Trish is probably the best on Raw in delivering Gerwirtz's corny, sexual innuendo laced dialogue. She is one of the few that can say the lines, and not sound completely moronic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Rrrsh Report post Posted October 26, 2004 I just prefer Molly straightforwardness for her heel character. Molly is such a bland charicter. At least Trish is different. Diffrent>Boring. Plus Trish needs to be stupidly over-the-top at something (Like Steph) because she is hot and males like hot woman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2004 Plus Trish needs to be stupidly over-the-top at something (Like Steoh) because she is hot and males liek hot woman. What the hell does that even mean? The only time a female character isn't bland is when the focus is on them. Molly wasn't always generic heel #293. During her last run, she was bad ass, bullying around Gail, plotting to take out Trish.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Loss Report post Posted October 26, 2004 I'm appalled that anyone would think Trish is a heel. She's trying to save wrestling, all the while watching Lita and making sure she's okay. She told her she needed to watch the cookies and cakes AS A FRIEND and got beaten up for it. But because Trish is Trish, she'll probably give Lita more helpful advice in the future since she's above holding grudges. We can all only wish we were like Trish.

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 The first and foremost reason this angle isn't working is because Trish is retired to talk and entertain the fans by speaking. That alone ruins it. Now as far as Trish, she is just overacting to the point of absurdity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted October 27, 2004 Trish is hot, and thats good enough for me to watch...and she doesn't completely suck as a wrestler (although WWE womens wrestling sucks overall though). I also just realized she stole the hurricanrana in the corner spot from Madusa/Alundra Blayze after skimming through an old WWF tape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
