Trish Stratus

“Royal Canadian Air Farce, and I was in three sketches there. And they wrote some really great stuff for me.”

“Now, at this point, I can wrestle, I can go out there and cut an entertaining promo, I can also do the backstage stuff... and if you can contribute more to the show, you have more staying power.”

“Well, actually, the Second City thing came about because I was taking a few improv classes there. I thought that the improv classes would help with my wrestling career, which it has.”

“As far as wrestling goes, as long as my body is able to withstand the physical beating, I will keep wrestling.”

“And I'm so thankful that I've been allowed to show another side of Trish.”

“Oh, gosh, okay... well, my biggest injury was probably a bone chip in my ankle that required surgery.”

“Each championship is unique and special.”

“I think I can finally say I am at my most confident and comfortable out there, physically.”

“Recently, I went up to Casino Rama to see Martin Short's show, just to see how he put it all together. And after the show, I went backstage and picked his brain to find out why he did certain things.”

“And in the future, you know, maybe there's kids in the future for me, I don't really know. The interesting thing with me is that there has never been a woman doing what I'm doing at this level for this long. So, it's like, would Vince give me maternity leave?”

“There really isn't a day when I wake up and DON'T have to be someplace.”

“Yeah, the record for most titles was previously held by the Fabulous Moolah, she won it four times. And a few weeks ago, I won the title for the sixth time, which has never been done before.”

“I'm good friends with The Rock, and I talk to him all the time. And he says that, even though his movie career has taken off, he misses the instant gratification of wrestling, and the live crowds, and I could see being that way myself.”

“As far as luxury goes, about the only thing I do is... I go first class all the way. I live on the road, so when I'm out there, I'm getting the nice hotel suite, I'm getting the luxury car, I'm eating the good food, and I make sure I take care of myself on the road.”

“But as much as I am personally proud for winning five championships, I'm equally proud just being part of a women's division that has gotten so much better with all these great athletes here.”

“And that's what I've learned too: writing is key.”

“And I have the support of the writers: I have a great relationship with the creative team, and they have a good hold of my character and my personality, and they come up with some great stuff, and I'm forever trying to change it up, keep it fresh.”

“We got great ratings and fan interest, and that's what management wanted.”

“And I wouldn't take on such a big thing if I didn't think I could nail it.”

“I'm missing a knuckle, it's crushed inside my hand at the moment.”
