This past Tuesday the dvd Best Friends, Better Rivals came out focusing on the higlights and feud between Lita and Trish.

Now I know why its featured and why still to this day is looked highly upon BUT I would argue Mickie James and Trish actually had the better rivarly.

Then there's Victoria and Trish. They put on some steller matches and I say the match they had on Raw,which I think main evented, was one of the best womens match of all time. Its been more than a decade since all these matches went down but I can still vividly remember Victoria and Trish trading blows on top of the turnbuckle until they both went over spilling outside of the ring.

But I know when it comes down to it its gonna be between Lita and Mickie over who had the better rivalry with Trish. Its so close you couldn't go wrong either way you pick,and if you said Victoria I couldn't blame you there. Trish just had great chemistry with just about all her opponents.

As a bonus question for Lita. Who else besides Trish did Lita have a good feud with? Im having trouble thinking of anyone

None of the above. Her best rivalry was with the Dudleys.

Those table promos, gawd damn.

Lita vs. Trish is the Iconic rivalry. Two of the greatest and most over female stars in Wrestling history. Two women who could stand face to face in the middle of the ring and there would be a real buzz about it. A buzz that no face off in modern WWE produces.

As far as Lita's other standout feuds go; Stephanie McMahon and Mickie James. But Lita is going to have less standout feuds than Trish by the simple fact that Trish was managements favourite. Trish was Champion more often and longer, Trish was placed on top more than Lita, Trish was given more feuds than Lita.

Pretty much everything said right here. There is no other womens feud in WWE history where they can just be in the same place at the same time and you get that vibe, they didn't have to have a match. They debuted within a month of each other and Retired within 2. There's a reason it got to main event a raw during a time with real stars and it didn't feel forced one bit

Never understood why Trish was management fav or placed higher than Lita when Lita was the more popular of the two and her pops would rival Stone Cold and The Rock. I don’t think it’s because Lita said no to many of the dumb ideas they wanted her to do when Trish said no to many ideas even some of the creative team being scared to tell her what they had in mind.

I did love the rivalry between Trish and Mickie but you cannot really put anything over Trish and Lita those two had great chemistry and good matches. You always knew you were going to get something special when those two got together.

Nothing can touch Trish vs Lita. Neither of them were amazing workers , but they were both charismatic AF and their chemistry was insane.

I always really liked Victoria and think she's underrated a lot . She did work really well with Trish, their hardcore match at the time was great .

I could never put my finger on it but I've never really liked Mickie James that much. I respect she's good at what she does and her feud with Trish was good, but I was never really into it.

Weird that Litas never had any really memorable feuds in the division apart from with Trish

I enjoyed her feud with Mickie more because I think it was just a better storyline. Victoria was an interesting character but I prefer Mickie over her.

but Trish vs. Lita is the defining women's feud for me.

Lita was a self made star and in reality was the most popular female in the company. I remember her run very well and she was the most over female superstar after Chyna.The fans loved Lita, and when you have fans chant your name you are a big deal.

Trish got pops but she was never over with fans where they chanted her name. The only time they would root for Trish is if she was getting her ass kicked or she showed some skin. Overall, Lita had the fans in the palm of her hands.

Trish was Vince's creation , he gave her the goods to get her over and considering she came during the more TV-14 era she got away with a lot cause of her sex appeal. If Trish came up in today's era she would very unimpressive and would make Carmella look like Bret Hart in the ring.

Mickie was the feud, but Lita and Trish remain the greatest rivals ever in the women’s division.

Charlotte and Becky is actually quite the good rivalry when people will look back at, but they desperately need to be separated now for the next couple of years. Wish that feud had ended at Evolution.

Re: Who did Trish have the best rivalry with:Lita,Mickie or Victoria

Wish I could have put up a poll to get a more accurate answer.

Instead of saying best,maybe I should have said favorite.

Recently I saw a video saying which show is better Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad. In the end of the video the guy said he acknowledges Breaking Bad is the better show...but, his favorite show is GOT.

Thats what Ill do here. I will say Trish vs Mickie is my favorite rivarly out of the 3,but I will say Lita vs Trish was the better rivarly in terms of what it did for both superstars and womens wrestling as a whole. It elevated womens wrestling and I think opened doors and broke glass ceilings for women in the future.

The hardcore matches with Victora and Trish,man they were awesome. The Chicago street fight comes to mind. Victoria is underrated imo. I actually think Victoria would do better now in this time period than back then.

About Trish getting more I guess favoritism from management than Lita. Gotta bring up Bayley's career suicide/self burial segment again but this is about Lita from the same interview with Bayley.

Didnt she say "Even though Trish is my friend, I wanted the opportunities, I wanted the first ever's,but they always gave them to Trish." Not sure if that waa kayfab or non kayfab but she said something along those lines in that Bayley interview

It cant be said enough that what Lita and Trish did was something really special. It wasn't part of some phoney PR "Revolution", it was just simply a case of them being genuine stars at that level. And did so with the likes of Austin, Rock, Taker, Kane, Angle, Jericho, HHH, etc on the roster as well.

Its always bugged me, because Lita was by far the more over of the two. At her peak only Rock and Austin were getting bigger pops. Yet she always had to take a backseat to Trish, because Trish is a blonde bombshell.

I want to Molly Holly because I loved her prude character but it was tainted by focusing on the size of her butt - which still baffles me to this day.

It's Lita as they were able to do more than once just as well with different alignments.

Lita was also clumsy af and spent considerable time on the injured list. It should be noted she got plenty of screen time regardless, she was more often involved in angles with male wrestlers rather than the Women's division and that makes sense to me.

Lita was my fav but I completely understand why they centered the division around Trish at that time too. She was simply more reliable in the ring and on the mic while also being incredibly good at PR.
