Jim Ross Reacts to Trish's Departure
Jim Ross posted the following thoughts:
"It's too bad to see Trish Stratus leaving the WWE sometime after Unforgiven, as I understand it. Trish was one of my �hires� when I worked in the talent relations department back In the day and has been an exemplary WWE Superstar since day one. Not long after Trish came aboard I would use her as an example to all the Divas we hired. Trish's obvious sex appeal and intelligence aside, no one worked harder to get better in the ring than Trish Stratus and she succeeded. Being on the road is a grind for everyone and especially for a female who has thoughts of being a wife and mom at some point in time. Hopefully, Unforgiven will not be the last time we see Trish in a WWE ring but if it is she will always be remembered as one of the most memorable WWE Superstars of any gender and a likely Hall of Fame inductee down the road. I can see great things happening for Trish in the future."

"Are you going to miss seeing Trish on RAW as much as I will? (As a matter of fact, Trish was one of the most asked about WWE Superstars at the hotel I stayed at Sunday night by the ladies attending the convention.) Trish has had a great run, and I hope she comes back to visit us from time to time, as I can only assume that her last match will be in Toronto at Unforgiven or sometime soon thereafter. It would not surprise me to see Trish join The Fabulous Moolah and Sherri Martel in the WWE Hall of Fame someday. Bottom line, the lovely Canadian lass will be missed."
