Trish Stratus clears up rumors regarding WMXXV

"Simply, there were no finishes, no 'What's going to happen? Will I win?' discussed," Stratus said. "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.'"

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

"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."

I knew there was something odd about that report of her allegedly declining the offer when she wanted to be put over. Didn't sound like Trish at all. That probably would have been something Chyna would've demanded.

Now that the battle royal has come and gone, it's clear we can say that Trish had it right.

The battle royal was crapped all over before it even began. Sunny and what not didn't even get the return pop.

Hey Trish can you come out and dance while the camera focuses on Kid Rock's ten minute performance? Maybe we'll mention you if Lawler notices you...

[Lancers]

I suppose it's way better to clear up rumors regarding not appearing at WMXXV then it is clearing up rumors that you slept with everyone in Lucha Libre including the timekeeper just to get some training time.

I don't blame her one bit. Even had they given the batte royal a bit more time, she wouldn't have really had a chance to accomplish anything.

Had they offered, say, Trish vs. Beth or something, I imagine she might have considered it.

It didn't sound good, and with Kid Rock taking-up entrance-time it was even worse than it sounded. She made the right call.

[Bobby Womack]

so the newz sites got it wrong? what a shock

I wish people would get over Kid Rock taking up entrance-time. His performance was like DEAD on at ten minutes, which sounds about right in the grand scheme of things.

I thought it was pretty dead 3 seconds in but ok.

Heh, giving each of the 25 Divas a 30seconds entrance, or 10 more minutes for their match wouldn't have changed things that much...

Well, it was DEAD as soon as it started, and it was ON for ten minutes, so you're close.
