TRISH STRATUS
Patricia Stratagias was
born in 1975 in Toronto. She was a successful
fitness model before being trained by Ron
Hutchison to become a pro wrestler. She made her
debut on the 4/14/00 edition of Sunday Night
Heat where she was announced as manager of the
tag team T&A (Test & Albert).
The Diva Becomes a
Wrestler:
When Trish started out, her matches were not
very good. However, due to her hard work she is
now known as much for her wrestling ability as
for her beauty. In mid-2001, she suffered an
ankle injury and upon her return, she was not
just a pretty face anymore. Her newfound skills
quickly transformed her from Diva into the
Women's Champion. Her toughest opponents in the
ring have been Jazz, Victoria, Lita, & Molly
Holly.
The Women's Champ Gets
Involved in Angles With the Men:
Her talent forced the WWE to expand her role
in the company. Not only was she involved in her
own feuds but she was became a catalyst in the
men's feuds also. A feud erupted between Chris
Jericho & Christian because of her. When Kane &
Lita got married, Trish caused problems for Kane
by starting a feud between him & Viscera.
Return From Injury and
a Stalker:
In 2005, Trish had to take several months
off due to a bad back. She returned in late
August 2005 still recognized as the Women's
Champion. She then met Mickie James, who quickly
went from friend to stalker. At WrestleMania 22,
she lost her title to Mickie James.
Retirement:
Trish had her final match at Unforgiven
2006. In her retirement match, which took place
in her hometown of Toronto, she beat Lita to win
the title for a record setting seventh time.
