Hard to say goodbye, Trish has no regrets
By TIM BAINES - Ottawa Sun
When that catchy Lil' Kim ditty blasts out of the Air Canada Centre
tonight, when Trish Stratus walks to the ring with thousands of cheering
fans giving her a sendoff fit for the queen of the divas, she's bound to
have a tear in her eye.
Whoa! It's time to rock n' roll,
This time I'm in control.
There've been so many memories, so many highlights stuffed into a
six-plus-year WWE career ... and this will be her final night. It's much
more than a storyline. Trish is leaping out of her career and right into
marriage ... in real life ... saying "yes" to her high-school sweetheart
Ron on Sept. 30.
"Really, I'm trying not to think about it because I might burst into
tears," says Patricia Anne Stratigias over the phone. "I'm happy, I'm sad
and I'm anxious. Next time I retire, remind me not to get married at
the same time.
"It's been such a crazy ride. These people became my second family.
It's a textbook story with a fairytale ending."
And what a career it's been. She's a six-time women's champ and a Diva
of the Decade, a blonde bombshell with beauty and brains ... and a girl
whose ambition not so long ago was to be a doctor.
"I'm ready to take a break," she says. "I've been on the road for the
last 10 years of my life.
"I've missed going out to see my nephews' hockey games ... I've missed
my girlfriends' weddings and the birth of their kids. I want to stop
and smell the roses and enjoy life.
"I haven't had a chance to enjoy the process of being a bride yet. My
fiance and I have been together for 14 years. He grew up with my cousins
in East York. Then he moved to Richmond Hill and I met him on a school
bus in Grade 8.
"We became best friends, then boyfriend and girlfriend when we were 17.
"I'm going to be a professional vacationer for awhile. I've been
everywhere, but I haven't really seen anything. So we're going to start in
Greece and end off (the honeymoon) with fish and chips in London."
Trish says the wedding will be big: "I'm Greek, he's Italian." And
among the guests will be diva buddies Lisa Moretti (Ivory) and Nora
Greenwald (Molly Holly), who will soon embark on the KickAss for Gas: The
Wedding Tour. The former WWE divas will embark on a drive of more than
2,000 miles in a Scamp camper, appearing at wrestling shows along the way.
Trish would love to leave the WWE on a high note tonight, with a win
over Lita ... and her seventh women's championship.
"It's been a wonderful ride," she says. "There's not one moment I would
change. And hopefully I can walk away from Sept. 17 and retire as a
seven-time champion."
Trish will maintain her home-town roots by moving right around the
corner from her mom in Richmond Hill.

Trish Stratus
September 16, 2006
With Trish’s pending retirement I thought it would be cool to look at her career and do a tribute commentary of sorts for quite possibly the most influential and successful female wrestler/Diva of all time.
I have a bit of a soft spot when it comes to Trish because I played a small role in her career and progression as a worker, and during our time together in WWE we became friends. I first met Trish when I debuted in WWE with my WCW Invasion run in (she was part of the mixed tag match I ran in on), and we hit it off right away.
It’s fairly common knowledge that Fit Finlay was a big part of the women’s division boom in 2001-2003. He was the agent assigned the women’s matches at that time and Trish and the girls wanted to learn and have better matches and Fit showed them the respect they deserved and actually taught them and took them seriously. What isn’t so common knowledge is that at that time I too worked with the girls and frequently assisted Fit with his teaching. Fit and I go way back (We worked together in Europe in 1993 & 1995 as well as WCW) and he often asked me to help demonstrate moves for the girls and I became some what of an unofficial assistant agent to the girls. I respected the fact that Trish and the others were trying to improve and become respected workers, so I offered them whatever help I could.
There were countless days at TV where the girls would put a match together with Fit, and then after when her opponent was busy doing something else, I would step in and run through the matches with Trish playing the part of her opponent. I remember how amazed she was the first time we ran through a match and I actually called some of her spots back to her. I love to teach and love working with people who want to learn so this was a very fun time in my career.
Trish had an absolute amazing run in this business. I can’t recall one scandal or incident she was involved in her entire career (a rarity in this business). She started as a Valet, learned to wrestle and became the most dominant female performer in I don’t know how long, perhaps ever. She spearheaded the only real legitimate women’s division in WWE history. I ‘m not slighting all the other women who busted their ass as well during that time period, but it was Trish that the office saw and pushed as the focal point, and it was her and Fit Finlay who pushed the division to the credibility it achieved. The offices faith in Trish enabled the creation of the whole division, which allowed other great women to showcase their talents as well. At one point the depths of the women’s division was amazing, with great workers like, Victoria, Molly Holly, Jazz, and Gayle Kim to name a few. These girls got a chance to shine in part due to Trish’s work ethic, determination and the offices faith in her.
Trish took women’s wrestling from being not much more than glorified T&A and made it a legitimate competitive division you could be proud of. I would go so far as to say Trish Stratus did for women’s wrestling what Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, and Rey Mysterio did for Cruiser Weight Wrestling in the late 90’s. No small feat.
It is because of my fondness and respect for Trish that I was thrilled to hear of her retirement. So many people over stay their welcome in this business, or simply get eaten up by it. Wrestling tragedies are far to common it’s nice to here a success story for a change. Trish is getting out on top, on her own terms. Trish entered this business, succeeded at it, and managed to get out, with both herself and the business better off for her having been a part of it.
I wish Trish nothing but the best, in her future life. Part of me hopes she comes back at some point because of the fun it would bring both her and the fans, but part of me hopes that she doesn’t. It’s nice to see someone leave their mark on this business and get out with their head held high.
Congratulations Trish on an amazing career, you should be very proud of what you have achieved.
