(Trish would carry Stephanie to a fairly decent match with good storytelling a couple months after this interview.)
Match was 4 months later, not from October of 2000 or prior, she was green.
Stephanie carried that match at No Way Out and you can clearly see her walking her through, and I don’t even like Stephanie and am a huge fan of Trish. It was a good short cat fight, but wasn’t any technical masterpiece and they clearly were green, Stephanie less green.
We can’t start revising history just to unreasoned bury someone who can’t defend themselves and who’s interviews from 20 years ago refutes claims.
J.R. lied about the Chyna/Trish claim, there’s no way around this. If you’re gonna claim Trish wasn’t green until November 2001 then you’re denying reality & revising blatant history that anyone can go back and see, that even Trish acknowledges.
That said, all I have to say about yours and Chyna's thoughts on Trish not being able to wrestle is:
Trish could not wrestle in 2000, she was green as grass, this is a fact even she acknowledges that. Chyna did in fact praise her willingness to learn and learning quickly. Trish admits she was green until Fit Finlay.
Let’s not revise history. I don’t understand your dislike of Chyna, she must of offended personally for you to be this bitter about her.
Or perhaps you want to defend Stephanie because 2001 is your favorite year and she was head of creative.
Either way irrational and refuted. J.R. lied twice about Chyna as he had with Russo.
J.R. also claims that he hired Trish, yet everyone and their mother knows that was Carl Demarco head of WWF Canada.
He’s blatantly lying and misremembering stuff, Trish was never good in the ring when Chyna was there, only after leaving did Finlay get her properly trained.
Chyna never buried Trish, she just stated the fact that Trish was indeed hired only on look, she didn’t have any in ring ability, she praised Trish’s willingness to learn and quickness in learning, and told her to stay on that path because it’s gonna pay off... which it did. And Trish did indeed take that advice, well.
As a recovering alcoholic who knows what it could do to you, and knowing the pain of losing a loved one, I suspect J.R. Is drinking during the interviews with Conrad, he doesn’t sound coherent and he’s taking Chyna’s criticism and analysis of Trish in 2000 as if she was talking about the Trish of 2002-2006 who had in ring ability, then claims it’s based on jealousy despite the critique being 100% correct and them being friendly backstage & working with each other with zero problem.
Trish was green as grass in 2000 & 2001, Chyna offered very good advice and mentioned that she was green which even Trish acknowledges, yet absolutely praised Trish saying she’s willing to learn and said she is improving fast and will have the ability if she kept doing what she is doing.
J.R. Is refuted and his claims proven blatant lies, everyone knew Trish was green as goo shit in 2000 & 2001, Finlay is credited for properly training her years after.
