TRISH STRATUS: OFF THE RECORD WITH MICHAEL LANDSBERG ON TSN
Trish Stratus (born Patricia Anne Stratigias on December 18, 1975 in Toronto, Ontario), is a former Canadian fitness model and semi-retired professional wrestler. Formerly working for World Wrestling Entertainment, Stratus retired from WWE on September 17, 2006 after winning her seventh WWE Women's Championship. Stratus is the first in WWF/E history to have held the WWE Women's Championship seven times. She is also one of only four women to have held the WWE Hardcore Championship.
As a fitness model, Stratus has been featured on the cover of many major health and fitness magazines such as Musclemag, Flare, and Total Women's Fitness. She also released a calendar series called "Dream Team" with fellow model, Stacey Lynn. As a sports entertainer, she was proclaimed the "Diva of the Decade" on the WWE RAW X Anniversary Show. She was voted "WWE Babe of the Year" three times between 2001 and 2003. She currently hosts the CBC reality show The Second City's Next Comedy Legend.
Stratus' parents are named John and Alice, and she has two younger sisters: Christie and Melissa. Trish is married to Ron Fisico. Her wedding included many WWE superstars, past and present. Her gown was featured on a cover of Today's Bride magazine.
***Trish has repeatedly been asked to pose nude for Playboy, but has turned down every offer.
According to Toronto's favourite girl, Stratus explains, "I've always been a fan of leaving things to the imagination. Playboy is not really something I'm interested in. If people want to see a sexy image of me, I think I can still give it to them (without taking my clothes off)."
