Trish Stratus is undoubtedly a superstar in the worlds of fitness and entertainment. She’s a seven-time Women’s Champion, a member of the WWE Hall of Fame and one of the most popular and beloved names in WWE history. On top of that, she has taken her passion for fitness and yoga and put out countless DVDs, fitness products, guides, YouTube videos and much more! (All available on her massive website: TrishStratus.com) And much like John Cena and Dave Bautista as of late, she’s taking her box office appeal from the ring onto the big screen with the action film, Gridlocked! Below are highlights:
Women making a name for themselves in WWE NXT:
I think it's amazing. It's about time. The girls are ready and the fans are ready. I'm really excited to see what's gonna happen. I think they're doing a fantastic job. I want to see who is going to break out from the girls now since they came in as a cluster. It's an exciting time to see these strong characters, these strong athletes, and to be able to sit back and watch who is going to break out and be that star. They're all stars. They are all great in the ring – and what I love is they all have pretty defined characters from what we've seen so far. I'm proud of them. It's a good time for women in our business right now.
Advice for the up-and-coming Divas:
They have to challenge themselves and step out of the box every time they go out there. They have to stand out and give the fans something that intrigues them and will make them want to see more of them. I think people get used to their go-to moves and like staying in their comfort zone. But, even if its working, you still gotta mix it up. At the end of the day, it's about going out there and making it the best damn two minutes you've ever made for yourself. Also spotting the opportunity to do that is important. I think right now is the time we are waiting for that big star from the women to break out.
The NXT vision coming from Triple H:
Well the thing about Triple H is he's very smart and is a visionary really. As the person in charge of talent, his job is to recognize their abilities, spot their potential, then provide them with the opportunity that could elevate them that way they can make the most of them in the company. The cool thing is that he looked at the Divas division and he didn't just see them as women, he saw these amazing athletes and characters that could do well on the show and connect with the fans. That's what he did, he gave them the opportunity. Once the fans connect with them, they're golden. It's cool to see Triple H in this role, it's no coincidence this vision is coming from a multi-time champion who knows a thing or two about what works in the ring.
