5 female wrestling managers who surpassed their clients in WWE

#3. Trish Stratus - surpassed Test and Albert

Trish during her early days in the WWE

Trish Stratus was never supposed to be a serious wrestler in WWE. Signed to the company in the early 2000's primarily due to her looks, she did not have wrestling training and was supposed to act as valet/manager for male wrestlers. Her first role was managing the tag team of Test and Albert - dubbed T&A.

Test and Albert's average mic skills meant that Stratus' personality shone through with her promos. She would become the main focus of a number of feuds in the tag division - especially a long program when her clients faced the Dudley Boyz. She would soon split up from T&A and start a program with Vince McMahon.

While she hadn't really been in a proper wrestling match at this time, both Test and Albert were expected to get over as singles wrestlers. They would both win the Intercontinental title, with Test getting a more prominent run compared to Albert. But as time passed, the duo were relegated to the mid-card, while Trish was busy honing her in-ring skills to become the complete package.

By the time Wrestlemania 18 came around, just over a year after the team had split, Trish Stratus was challenging for the Women's title whereas Test and Albert were on dark matches. She would go on to become one of the greatest women's Superstars in WWE, overshadowing both Test and Albert in terms of in-ring accomplishments.

Trish Stratus would even return to compete against the likes of Charlotte Flair in recent years, whereas Albert's in-ring days are past him now. He is the chief trainer at the WWE Performance Center. Test sadly passed away in 2009.
