Off The Record recap
Written by Steve Khan
Landsberg asks Trish why she retired. Trish felt it was time after being in the business for 7 years. It was also a contract thing. Landsberg said she could always sign a new one, but Trish said she wanted to stop and smell the roses. Her contract was ending and she was asked if she wants to re-sign for 3-5 years. Trish mentioned Unforgiven being in the middle of September and her wedding coming at the end of the month. It's a change in life.Landsberg asks if Stratus feels she can't handle the married life with the wrestling life ut Trish says that isn't the reason.
Landsberg asks if Trish was burnt out, but she said it was mostly realizing how much was going on around her, like her friends getting married and having kids. Her Mom being ill made her think she wants to stop and enjoy life. She got through the wrestling life style with support from her friends and family.
Landsberg said he didn't see her as a life-timer in wrestling. Trish hadn't thought of it that way, and even the wrestling lifestyle itself came out of no where. He says Trish was there in the beginning because of her physical appeal and Trish laughed "I was hot, you can say it, Michael." He wonders if Stratus if she ever turned down storylines. She said yes, since she wasn't comfortable with a lot of the sex stuff. She trusted Vince and knew he wouldn't steer her wrong.
Landsberg asks if the male wrestlers respected her, and she says yes, and has had a lot of support from the guys over the past few weeks since announcing her retirement. Landsberg wonders if there are a few guys who wouldn't take her seriously, like Randy Orton. Trish says she convinced Orton, and worked hard to convince everyone to take her seriously.
Landsberg asks why she never did Playboy. Stratus says it's not her style and wanted to be known as the greatest women's wrestler ever. She was asked to pose for Playboy in her first 6 months, and every year after that. She's glad people will remember her as 7-time Women's Champion, not a girl who posed for Playboy. She won't consider doing it now. Trish calls her self a tomboy.
Landsberg remembers meeting Trish eight years ago on OTR and recalls her saying she wanted to be in the WWE. He congratulates her on making it this far.
