Stratus on saying No to WrestleMania

Trish Status has done an interview with Slam Wrestling, where she talks about why she didn't work the Miss WrestleMania earlier this month.

NOT-STRATUSFIED

When asked why she chose not to do the match she said:

"Simply, there were no finishes, no 'What's going to happen? Will I win?' discussed. It was just, 'Would you like to be in this 25-woman battle royal at WrestleMania,' and I said, 'Thank you but I’m going to decline.'"

She added:

"Actually, I wanted to stay home and watch WrestleMania for one time with my family. That was part of it. I had just made a return recently and I never want to wear out my welcome."

Finally, she said:

"I’ve always said to come out of retirement is a big deal to me – so if I was to come out it is for something special. To be honest, I feel Wrestlemania is a place to create memorable moments in one’s career and frankly, with 25 women in the ring, I was just not sure how anyone could come out having their 'WrestleMania moment,' maybe if it was a little clearer that could be accomplished for someone, I would have been a part of it. If I were to go back, I would like to do something that is new and fresh, there are so many girls right now that can work, I’d want to be able to mix it up with someone I hadn’t gotten the chance to before I left."

FINAL THOUGHT

I'm glad Trish didn't appear at WrestleMania - The battle royal was a sham. No one was introduced, and to actually find out who was in the rumble you had to log on to WWE.com and browse the "Diva WrestleMania Photo shoot" album.

Trish Stratus New Look

Trish Stratus makes a surprise return to the screen, by doing the weather and sporting a brand new brunette look!

This honestly took me by complete surprise.

Trish then speaks on her current lifestyle and her successful Yoga business.

The news anchors also ask Trish if she misses being in the ring, to which she replied

"I did make a little return in December...I get my fix every now and then"

FINAL THOUGHT

Bring back Trish! *clap clap clap clap clap*

Trish Stratus At WrestleMania 25

As WrestleMania draws near, wrestling rumours begin to fly.

One of the rumours this year happens to land on Trish Stratus, and her involvement at this year's WrestleMania.


STATUSFYING WRESTLING

It's a long shot, but judging by the lack of interest in the current WWE Diva situation, she may be the only chance to help revive the women's division.

Currently, the Divas have no storylines, or rather, interesting storylines.

Beth Phoenix has an entourage that screws her over, Melina is constantly fighting off Beth and Michelle McCool is playing an empty heel, with no motivation and no main arch-nemesis to face.

If Trish were to come back, be it for only one match, odds are she'll need a strong opponent.


STATUSFACTION, GUARANTEED

Trish will need a strong opponent, in order to maximise a "Stratusfying" match.

Natalya, Melina, Beth Phoenix, Maryse & Michelle McCool instantly come to mind.

Natalya was trained by the Hart Family, in the legendary Hart Dungeon. She can hold her own, and giving her an actual match, instead of jobbing to rookies, will be a wrestling fans dream - although the rest of the fans will require a heavy amount of promos and video vignettes to get the match over with them.

Melina has a history with Trish, so that instantly helps the match. Melina could state that she's the most fashionable Diva in the business, be it past or present. A WWE Diva dress-up spot could then take place, with Trish making a surprise return. The two could brawl and have a semi-fued build up to WrestleMania.

Beth Phoenix has a history with Trish aswell. She was a new face in the WWE when Trish was still around, and again this helps the match. Beth could say that she now leads the most powerful entoruage in WWE History. Trish could interfere and say that she, herself, created and managed T&A (Test and Albert) before she even became a WWE Diva. Again, brawl & fued until WrestleMania.

Maryse besides being exceptionally beautiful, can hold her own in the ring. Maryse portrays an exceptional heel character, and could instantly build up a fued with Trish (minus the awkward microphone silence that Maryse sometimes creates).

Michelle McCool, as much as I hate to admit it, will most likely be considered to do the match. Why? Because the Deadman said so. McCool's relationship with Undertaker will play a major factor in being put with a legendary female wrestler such as Trish. If management go ahead with a Trish V Michelle match at 'Mania, then we can officially say that 'Taker has a definate power over management.


FINAL THOUGHT

Anyone except Michelle McCool, please.

Trish Stratus for WrestleMania 25?

It could actually happen.


STRATUSFYING RETURN

WWE is currently trying to set up a match between Trish Stratus and Michelle McCool at Wrestlemania 25.

After seeing her performance on a recent episode of Raw, management decided that they really wanted to bring Trish Stratus back for a match at Wrestlemania 25.

At first, creative pitched an idea where Trish Stratus would go up against Beth Phoenix. However, that idea was turned down. Instead, management wants to go with a match against Michelle McCool. Since Trish Stratus is still at a pretty high level, the feeling is that she would be able to carry Michelle McCool to a good match.


FINAL THOUGHT

Trish Stratus has maintained that she is willing to do special appearances, but she is quite unwilling to return full time.

I really pray they don't make her lose to Michelle McCool.

I'd rather see Trish and Maryse any day!

Trish Stratus on Victoria's Retirement

Trish Stratus has spoken publicly about Victoria's decision to retire from World Wrestling Entertainment


STRATUS SPEAKS

Trish has a new WWE Universe blog up, discussing Victoria's retirement, stating:

"Her departure was the last of a group of women who collectively raised the bar in women's wrestling. A time when of the core players that made up the women's roster, 9 of them were champions, 6 of them becoming champion for the first time, second time, etc. During that time we saw the introduction of new characters and the reinvention of others, good guys and bad, each offering something different than the other - a flavor for everyone."

FINAL THOUGHT

Sad to see Victoria leave - but great to hear from Trish again.
