Trish Stratus recently spoke with Monday Night Mayham about her WWE Hall of Fame induction this year and more. CHeck out the highlights:
On her WWE Hall of Fame induction: “It was the end of 2012. I was home. I got a call and was told the news. It was a little bit of a shock, because I feel like I just wrestled yesterday. I’m just super honored. It’s exciting, because when I heard about the class and everyone else being inducted, I was just so thrilled and honored to be in the same class. I never thought I would get in, and just to know that I’m accepted, I’m going to be a fan just getting my pictures with everyone.”
On her favorite match of her career: “My favorite will probably have to me my WrestleMania match with Mickie (James) at WrestleMania 22 in Chicago. The fact that it was my last WrestleMania match. I think why our era was so different and memorable than maybe today is the storylines and character development. What that match did was it embodied all the elements that era embodied: strong story and deep character development, but also solid work. I think that whole combination is what was brought out in that match, and you could see the crowd invested in a story that was six months long. I look at that match as the pinnacle of that era.”
On her Stratusphere Yoga studio and brand: “When I retired in 2006, one of my first business venture was to open up a yoga studio. I opened up place north of Toronto called Stratusphere. That’s where I started the foundation for the brand, and spreading the word about yoga, and living a balanced lifestyle. The transition to develop my own style happened when I was about to film my movie ‘Bounty Hunters.’ I realized I was playing this kick-ass bounty hunter, and I was a ‘yoga chick.’ So I ended up creating this routine, which was integrating strength training moments into my yoga flow, and my body totally changed. So I started showing people the style I was doing, and it really caught on. That’s how I developed Stratusphere Yoga, and then I started producing the DVD’s.”
