Trish's entire career arc is one of WWE's most remarkable. She went from one of the endless parade of [[FauxActionGirl useless eye candy]] {{Smart Mark}}s hate, to [[AwesomeMomentOfCrowning being inducted into the Hall of Fame]] as one of the greatest of all time of either gender.

* Winning seven Women's Championship titles, almost twice as many as the previous record (4), held by Wrestling/TheFabulousMoolah.
** Her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geXtXWCITT4 first title win]] shows her CharacterDevelopment. From being a FemmeFatale who used her wiles to motivate the wrestlers she managed, distract their opponents or be a GoldDigger, she grows into a skilled ActionGirl who survives a match against five other women to win the belt. Her reaction at the end sells it-she's beaten and exhausted, and needs the referee's help to get to her feet, but it's all WorthIt because she's going home as the Women's Champion.
* For smart fans, the fact that she managed to make The [[Wrestling/WWEDivaSearch Diva Search]] entertaining was a crowning moment for Trish.
* Her utter professionalism during a promo with Lita, where Trish was supposed to be the heel...except the fans had just found out about the love triangle between Lita, Edge, and Matt Hardy, so they nearly hijacked the segment with chants of "You screwed Matt" and "Slut". Trish not only kept going, she hit back at the fans by calmly saying "Don't call her a slut. You guys are idiots, you don't know what you're talking about," (which got a smile and a nod from Lita), then telling them that she'll walk out if the audience doesn't behave.
** Plus, when she tells Lita, "Sorry sweetie, don't listen to these idiots," it's pretty great to see Trish have Lita's back. Hell, put in the context of the real life happenings, the entire promo is both heartwarming for her having Lita's back and awesome for her successfully playing the heel by doing so, acting like the chants were directed at her and she was merely playing them off onto Lita to the point that anyone who ''didn't'' know what was really happening would actually believe it.
* Her farewell match at ''Unforgiven 2006''. When she slapped on the Sharpshooter, the crowd ''exploded''.
** As she held the women's championship for the last time, the ''entire'' arena, including everyone at ringside, gave her a loud standing ovation.
* In December 2008, Wrestling/JohnCena is put in a match against Wrestling/SantinoMarella and Wrestling/BethPhoenix. Cena spends part of the night trying to find a partner, and when he comes to the ring, he mentions that Santa left him a little gift. Cue Trish's music, and an explosion from the fans.
** Cena wasn't kidding about the gift. As fans remember, Cena had a quite-obvious...er, ''[[RagingStiffie erectile issue]]'' during the [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments entirety of the match]], to the point where even the commentators were audibly stifling their laughter whenever Cena (and his package) was shown close-up on camera. Apparently, Trish ''is'' that gorgeous in person.
* Seven years after her retirement match, she '''finally''' became an inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame.
* At Survivor Series 2005 during her match against Melina, she went to the top rope and body blocked all three members of MNM on the outside.
* An early moment came in 2000 when Bubba Ray Dudley put her through a table. She apparently told him not to protect her in any way and took the full force of that table. Bubba says she earned his respect at that moment - as well as being willing to kiss him while his face was covered in blood.
* There's also a match from 2001 against Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon. Despite neither women having much wrestling experience, the match was highly entertaining (it helped that it was a brawl and CatFight that played to their strengths). It definitely showed that Trish had potential, and on her DVD she said that even after all her hardcore matches with Jazz and Victoria fans still complimented her on it.
* In a match against Jazz at ''Backlash'' 2003 Trish did much more mat wrestling and grappling than she was known for. At one point she even locked Jazz in the STF!
* Stepping into the ring for the first time in ten years at ''Evolution'', Trish teamed with best friend Wrestling/{{Lita}} against Mickie James and Alicia Fox. While it was a tag match, Trish held her own with the current-day women and won the match with a Chick Kick.
* ''Summerslam 2019'' marked Trish's final retirement match, against none other than [[RedBaron "The Queen"]] Wrestling/CharlotteFlair, and Trish took her to the absolute limit before tapping out to the Figure 8.
