Trish Stratus
Dave Finlay[6][7]
Debut2000[8]
Retired2006

Patricia Anne Stratigias (

fitness model, and a fitness guru, actress and television personality, better known by her stage name and former ring name Trish Stratus. She is best known for her tenure with WWE
.

After beginning her career as a fitness model, Stratus began working for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which was later renamed World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Early in her career, she was involved in sexually themed storylines, such as managing the team

Diva of the Decade". After nearly seven years in the business, Stratus retired from professional wrestling at WWE Unforgiven on September 17, 2006 after winning her seventh WWE Women's Championship, the most in WWE history. In 2011, Stratus was a trainer for WWE Tough Enough and she was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
in 2013.

Aside from professional wrestling, Stratus appeared on a number of magazine covers and has been involved in charity work. She has also hosted several award and television shows, and owns a yoga studio.

Early life and fitness modelling

Stratigias grew up in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada where she attended Bayview Secondary School.[9][10] She enrolled at York University, where she studied biology and kinesiology and played soccer and field hockey.[4][7][11] Due to a faculty strike in 1997, she was forced to change her plans.[4][7][11][9][10] She was working as a receptionist at a local gym when she was approached by the publisher of MuscleMag International to do a test shoot for the magazine.[10][12] She later appeared on the cover of the May 1998 issue and was signed to a two-year contract.[12] For the next six months, she worked on her body and appeared on numerous magazine covers.[10] During this time, she joined Big Daddy Donnie & Jeff Marek as the third host of Live Audio Wrestling on Toronto Sports Radio, The FAN 590.[4][13][14]

Stratigias had been a fan of wrestling since

childhood and her modelling work caught the attention of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF).[4][9][13][14][15] In November 1999, she was signed to a multi-year contract with the company, who sent her to Sully's Gym where she was trained by Ron Hutchinson.[4][9][10][14]

World Wrestling Federation / Entertainment

Managing (2000–2001)

Val Venis
.

Stratigias made her debut as a

Val Venis to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship but their partnership ended at SummerSlam after Venis lost the title.[9]

Stratus made her in-ring debut on the June 22 taping of

tag team match with T & A against the Hardy Boyz and Lita. A storyline feud between Stratus and Lita developed after the match with Stratus attacking Lita on episodes of Raw and SmackDown!. This led to an Indian Strap match on the July 24 edition of Raw which Stratus won with help from Stephanie McMahon.[3] She finished the year competing unsuccessfully for the WWF Women's Championship numerous times, and leaving Test and Albert when the team disbanded.[23]

In early 2001, Stratus became involved in an

bra and panties in the ring and bark like a dog.[27] The storyline came to an end at WrestleMania X-Seven when Stratus slapped Vince during his match against his son Shane,[4] becoming a fan favorite in the process.[9][28][29]

Women's Champion (2001–2003)

Stratus in the ring

Following her first face turn, Stratus began wrestling part-time. She teamed up with Lita against then-heels,

WWF Brand Extension.[37]

Stratus' second reign as champion came to an end on June 23 when she was defeated at

Divas continued their storyline feud for the next three months. After a failed attempt to win the title in July, Stratus won back the championship at Unforgiven.[39][40] While feuding with Holly, Stratus was also involved in an angle with new Diva the heel gimmick of Victoria who held a storyline grudge against Stratus, claiming she was betrayed by Stratus when they worked as fitness models.[9] The two competed in several title matches, with Stratus retaining until Survivor Series where Victoria won the belt in a Hardcore match.[41][42] On March 17, 2003, Victoria and Steven Richards defeated Jazz and Stratus in tag team competition when Jazz walked out on Stratus. After the match, Jeff Hardy saved Stratus from an attack by Victoria and Richards and then kissed her.[43] Stratus became Hardy's on-screen girlfriend once more. The two would talk and kiss backstage, compete as an intergender tag team, and come to each other's aid when in danger during single's competition. At no point was their previous relationship acknowledged.[44] The storyline was suddenly dropped when WWE released Hardy in April. This marked the second time in two years that a romance between Stratus and Hardy was abruptly scrapped due to a setback in one of their personal lives. In neither instance did the angle fully play out or reach a conclusion.[9]

At WrestleMania XIX Stratus defeated Victoria and then-heel, Jazz to capture her fourth Women's Championship, equaling the record previously set by The Fabulous Moolah, only to lose the title to Jazz at the following pay-per-view, Backlash.[45] In the following months, Stratus was placed into an alliance with Gail Kim. It was short-lived however, as Kim turned on Stratus and teamed with Molly Holly, putting the women in a storyline feud.[9] The duo defeated Stratus and several tag team partners until Stratus began to partner with a returning Lita.[46][47][48] The team defeated Kim and Holly in several matches, including a match at Unforgiven.[49]

Teaming and feuding with Lita (2003–2005)

WWE Diva Stacy Keibler
in August 2005.

Stratus began a romance with

problem solver" Tyson Tomko the next night on Raw.[55]

Stratus was booked to win the Women's Championship for a fifth time at Bad Blood on June 13.[56] She defended the title until she suffered a legitimate broken hand in July that caused her to be out of action for approximately a month.[57][58] Upon her return, she continued to defend the title against numerous challengers before losing the championship to Lita on December 6 when both women wrestled in the main event of Raw for the championship.[5] Stratus recaptured the gold a month later at New Year's Revolution after Lita suffered a legitimate injury during the match.[59] A new angle was then developed between Stratus and 2004 Raw Diva Search winner Christy Hemme over jealousy of Hemme's Playboy magazine exposure, with Stratus attacking Hemme and spray painting the word "slut" across her back.[60] Stratus was challenged by Hemme, who later revealed she was being trained by Lita, for a championship match at WrestleMania 21. Stratus successfully retained her championship at WrestleMania.[60]

Feuding with Mickie James; retirement (2005–2006)

In May 2005 Stratus was sidelined with the Women's Championship after suffering a

Viscera had injured her with a big splash move at Backlash after she berated him for losing to Lita's then-husband Kane.[5][30] She returned to Raw on September 12, 2005 once again portraying her face persona by siding with Ashley Massaro against Vince's Devils.[61] The feud also involved the debuting Mickie James who introduced herself as Stratus' biggest fan.[5] On the Eddie Guerrero Tribute Show, Stratus took part in an interpromotional Divas battle royal that was won by SmackDown! Diva Melina.[62] The next week, MNM kidnapped Stratus for Melina, who challenged a tied up and gagged Stratus to a match for the Women's Championship.[63] The two fought at Survivor Series, with Stratus defeating Melina.[64] Stratus and James continued teaming together in late 2005 while James became increasingly obsessed with Stratus.[65] On the December 26 episode of Raw, the storyline between Stratus and James developed into a lesbian one when James initiated an intimate kiss with Stratus under a sprig of mistletoe, causing a surprised Stratus to flee the locker room.[66]

Stratus celebrating after wrestling her final match

The odd relationship between Stratus and James continued into 2006, with the two Divas competing against each other in a title match at New Year's Revolution, where Stratus emerged victorious.[67] Despite the defeat, James continued to be enamored of Stratus which made her feel uncomfortable, and on March 6, Stratus confronted James, telling her that she needed space.[68][69] The duo briefly reconciled on the March 18 episode of Saturday Night's Main Event, teaming together to defeat Candice Michelle and Victoria; however, after the match James turned on Stratus and attacked her.[70] A match at WrestleMania 22 saw Stratus lose the Women's Championship to James.[71] During a rematch at Backlash Stratus suffered a legitimate dislocated shoulder after taking a bump to the outside of the ring.[72] While she was rehabilitating for six weeks, she continued to appear on-screen.[9][73]

Stratus returned to the ring on June 26 and started a

Carlito after he saved her from a double team attack by Melina and Johnny Nitro.[74] They competed as a team and won a mixed tag team match against Melina and Nitro at Saturday Night's Main Event on July 15.[75] As a couple, Stratus and Carlito briefly feuded with WWE Champion Edge and Lita after the pair interrupted Stratus' title match with Mickie James. The two couples competed in several tag team matches, including a six-person tag team match where Edge, Lita and Randy Orton defeated Stratus, Carlito and John Cena after Orton RKO'd Stratus and Lita followed up with the pin. Stratus' last match on Raw occurred on September 11, 2006 where she defeated Mickie James.[76][77] In late August, Lita stated that Stratus would retire following the Unforgiven pay-per-view, which was later confirmed by Stratus.[78] At Unforgiven on September 17, in her hometown of Toronto, Stratus won against Lita with fellow Canadian Bret Hart's signature submission maneuver, the Sharpshooter.[79][80][81] Her victory earned her a seventh WWE Women's Championship, the most in WWE history, and she retired as the champion.[82]

Post-retirement appearances; Hall of Fame (2007–present)

Stratus and Lita made a special appearance on December 10, 2007 during Raw's 15th Anniversary special.[83] The following year, Stratus appeared on Raw in Toronto on May 5, in a backstage segment involving Ron Simmons and Trevor Murdoch.[84] Stratus wrestled her first match in over two years on the December 22, 2008 episode of Raw, when she and John Cena defeated Santino Marella and her former on-screen protégé Beth Phoenix in a mixed tag team match. On September 14, 2009, Stratus served as the guest hostess of Raw and participated in a six-person tag team match, teaming with Montel Vontavious Porter and Mark Henry to defeat Phoenix, Chris Jericho, and The Big Show.

Stratus made a surprise appearance at the 2011 Elimination Chamber pay-per-view to announce that she would be a trainer on the revival of WWE Tough Enough, and stopped LayCool attacking Kelly Kelly. The following month, on March 14, she lost a match to Vickie Guerrero due to interference from LayCool and Dolph Ziggler. After the match, John Morrison and Raw guest star of the night Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi came to her aid.[85] At WrestleMania XXVII, Stratus, Snooki, and Morrison defeated the team of Ziggler and LayCool. The night after WrestleMania, on Raw, Stratus and Morrison defeated Guerrero and Ziggler.[86] She also appeared on Raw on June 6 and SmackDown on September 16. The following year, on July 23, 2012, she made a guest appearance on Raw's 1000 episode.

On the January 28, 2013, episode of Raw, Stratus was announced as a WWE Hall of Fame inductee as part of the 2013 class, making her the youngest Hall of Fame inductee ever at 37. Stephanie McMahon was chosen by Stratus to induct her into the Hall of Fame in April.[87] The following year Stratus inducted Lita into the WWE Hall of Fame.[88]

Other media

On June 3, 2006, she hosted the Canada's Walk of Fame induction ceremony and performed a song and dance number inspired by the soundtrack from the film Chicago at the event.[89][90] During the show, Stratus ad libbed a kiss with fellow Canadian actress Pamela Anderson.[79][89][91]

From late November 2006 to mid-January 2007, Stratus temporarily moved to Muncie, Indiana for the CBS reality show Armed & Famous.[92][93][94] She was given a spot in the series after Paul Heyman had mentioned her name to CBS.[92] The concept was that she was one of five celebrities who trained as volunteer officers with the Muncie Police Department.[95] After finishing her training, Stratus and her real life officer partner were followed around by a camera crew while going on legitimate police calls.[93] Although the show was scheduled to broadcast seven episodes starting on January 10, 2007, CBS canceled the series after just four of the episodes were aired.[92][95][96] After the cancellation of Armed & Famous, Stratus hosted The Second City's Next Comedy Legend.[92] The contest was similar to the style of America's Next Top Model, with Stratus portraying the "Tyra Banks" role as contact between the contestants and judges.

Stratus is the host and subject of the show Stratusphere, which debuted in 2008 on the

Travel + Escape television channel. The show follows Stratus as she visits different locations around the world to participate in local sports and adventure. Bill Harris wrote that, "Every week, Stratus embarks on a trip in search of exotic locations and daring physical challenges. In the first episode, for example, Stratus is in Kochi, India, where she learns the ancient martial art of kalarippayatu, progressing from fighting with sticks to fighting with metal swords. Through the 10-episode run of Stratusphere, Stratus does everything from reindeer racing in Norway to bungee jumping in Bali. Her athleticism obviously sets Stratusphere apart from most travel shows."[97] Stratus also guest-starred in the Canadian show Da Kink in My Hair new season, which started on February 12, 2009.[98] In 2009, Stratus became a spokesperson for sports betting website, Sports Interaction.[99]

Stratus starred in an R-rated Canadian independent movie, Bail Enforcers, which marked her acting debut. She played a bounty hunter named Jules Taylor, which released on April 19, 2011, premiering at ActionFest 2011.[100] The movie was then released on DVD as "Bounty Hunters".

Business

In 2008, Stratus opened a yoga studio named Stratusphere in the suburbs of Toronto, Ontario.[101] The studio is billed as "Canada's largest eco-friendly yoga studio".[102] In 2009, Stratusphere was awarded Top Choice Awards' Best New Business award, and the following year, Stratus won the award for Business Woman of the Year. The studio won Top Choice Awards' Best Yoga Studio award in 2013.[103]

Personal life

Stratigias is of Greek descent and is the eldest daughter of John and Alice Stratigias.[1][15] Her sisters are named Christie and Melissa.[15] Stratigias married her high school sweetheart and boyfriend of fourteen years, Ron Fisico, on September 30, 2006.[92][79][95] Several WWE Divas were in attendance at the wedding, and her bridal gown was featured on a cover of Today's Bride magazine.[1][12] Shortly after the wedding, Stratus got the call to be a part of Armed & Famous, so she filmed the show instead of going on her honeymoon. In 2013, Stratigias announced her pregnancy at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, and her first child, a son named Maximus, was born on September 30, 2013.[104][105]

Stratigias has also been involved with numerous charities such as Ronald McDonald House, Dreams Take Flight and the Special Olympics.[106] From 2001, she was a spokesperson for the World Natural Sports Association.[4][107] On March 29, 2008, she participated in the Island Triathlon Series as part of a celebrity relay team to help raise money for Dignitas International.[108]
