Trish says no full time return to the ring

[Banned Member]

The Toronto Sun featured an interview with former WWE Women's champion Trish Stratus yesterday to promote the Armed & Famous reality series. During the interview, Stratus ruled out a full-time return to the company. ""I'm done. I could never do that touring schedule again. Wrestling is in my blood. I love it, so if there were an opportunity to do something again in the ring, maybe. But going on the road? No -- I've moved on."

I'll be in my safe place crying now.

Well, things might be different now that her reality show is cancelled.

[Tom Selleck]

You should be happy, she said she will probably be back but just not full time. She could be on Raw every week and just not do house shows.

[amsiraK]

Good for her.

[Citizen Snips]

I like that "wrestling's in her blood" and "she loves it" so mayyyyybe she'd come back to do "something".

[Ben Wyatt]

I hate to be "that guy" but honestly, Trish wasnt that good in-ring anymore, her matches were all contrived and she was nowhere as talented as the WWE was desperatly trying to convey every single week.

I think it was more the quality of her opponent rather than Trish herself, along with the way the WWE thought of women's wrestling matches. When you really only have Mickie James and Victoria as far as decent women's wrestlers go, you aren't going to have quality matches all the time, and Trish isn't the type who can carry some of those divas to even a decent match. Then again, I don't think a women's wrestler with the technical expertise of Chris Benoit could carry some of those bimbos to a decent match.

To an extent, that is true.

But even when she had decent opponents, her matches were a slop fest. Her moveset was rediculous and 3/4 of it called for her opponent to look incredibly stupid and slow paced. I mean, how many times can someone fall for the MaTrish, before someone figured out how to avoid it

Yes it's true that Trish's matches were somewhat contrived and she only had maybe 5 or 6 real moves. But you know who else fits that description? John Cena. I think Trish's appeal was not her technical ability, but her ability to mesh well with her opponents both in storyline and in the ring. That whole thing where her and Mickie dressed up like each other for a month was one of the most creative things I had seen out of WWE in a long time. Trish had loads of personality and it came through in her character.

I don't think Trish or WWE could pull off these one time comeback matches like Hogan,Austin,Rock,etc..

She's got "ONE BIG MATCH" left in her as Champion vs never-lost-the-title-former-champion.I would like to see her on tv and still involved in the company,but without the schedule that's almost impossible.Even if she never wrestles again,her opresence alone is enough to sell the whole diva product

[blackhart]

Thank God she's gone

Her and her terrible sharpshooter can stay away forever

Now that I think about the Womens divison needs to rebuild without Trish. So if Trish never shows up again. I'm ok with that.

Agreed. Trish sucks

Why the hell did she finish her last match with a sharpshooter anyways. She has no connection with Bret besides being Canadian (Or is that enough :

I agree about the sharpshooter. Trish has never used it, it would have been way better to end it with the Stratusphere or the Stratusfaction. I think the sharpshooter was just to make sure she got a giant pop in Canada

[floundertime]

Well she better come back to wrestling soon cause I doubt she's going to any "Armed and Famous" fan conventions any time soon.

My thoughts.

Actually, it is a scientific fact that all Canadians are inherently able to do the Sharpshooter. It is coded into their DNA (D-N-eh?) or something.
