You wouldn’t know it from her meek appearances for ECW but Trinity is one of the best wrestlers in the company. ECW’s reading from the same tired bikini contest playbook WWE issues to all its bookers, and ignoring the possibilities of reinvigorating women’s wrestling by pushing the talented wrestlers like Trinity and Mickie James.

I mention Mickie because while perusing YouTube, the lazy blogger’s content super site, I came across two vids of Trinity wrestling Mickie james in TNA. Mickie was then known as Alexis Laree, and Trinity was playing a character who worked for a company that respected her. The first is grainy, but its a great mixed tag featuring Kid Kash, Trinity and Mickie mix it up around 4:15. The second’s better quality, and Mike Tenay (the world’s worst announcer) will get you old school fans all nostalgic with his talk of Brian Lee, Perry Saturn and pre-face lift Sandman. There’s also a special guest appearance by an ECW icon.

And yes, Tenay and his partner say the exact same thing about Laree And Trinity having “similar bodies but different styles” in both matches. Tenay likes to leave the dance with who brought him.

These two aren’t hard on the eyes either. Enjoy.
