Trish Stratus Biography

This former professional wrestler was named Diva of the Decade, and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) named her Babe of the Year an impressive three times. She retired from professional wrestling in September of 2006. This ultra-fit Canadian beauty has claimed a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for holding more titles than any other female wrestler.

Trish Stratus was born Patricia Anne Stratigias on December 18, 1975, in Richmond Hill, Ontario. She is best known for her professional wrestling career, which lasted from 2000 to 2006.

Trish was first noticed by the WWF as a co-host for Live Audio Radio, a Canadian talk show focusing on professional wrestling. After being trained by former wrestler and pro trainer Ron Hutchinson, the die-hard Hulk Hogan fan was ready to enter the ring.

In March of 2000, she made her first WWF appearance on an episode of Saturday Night Heat. Soon after, she took on the role of manager, a common position for new wrestlers, for Test and Prince Albert. The duo was better known as T&A. Trish was frequently dragged into the action, finding herself the target of wrestlers and teams like The Dudley Boyz, The Big Show, Chyna, and Rikishi. She teamed up with T&A to battle The Hardy Boyz and Lita. After T&A broke up at the end of the year, Trish became involved with the soap opera world of the McMahons.

The saga had Trish becoming romantically involved with WWF Chairman Vince McMahon, who was in the process of divorcing his wife Linda. The resultant drama had Stratus facing off against Vince’s daughter, Stephanie McMahon Helmsley, and this fight was the first to really showcase Stratus’s abilities in the ring. The McMahon situation ended with a fight between Vince and son Shane, and Stratus then began focusing on wrestling full time.

After teaming up with past rival Lita to defeat Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson, Trish suffered an injury the following night that would put her out of commission for four months. Her return was triumphant. She defeated Lita, Mighty Molly, Jacqueline, Ivory, and Jazz to win her first WWE Women’s Championship.

During her remaining years as a pro wrestler, Stratus would go on to win a record seven Women’s Championships, several of those with RAW, the organization which she joined at the end of 2002. Although she lost the title briefly over the years, she always managed to win it back, and her victories include those against Lita, Molly Holly, Christy Hemme, and Melina. Her final fight took place in September of 2006. She won her final RAW match against Mickie James. It remains to be seen whether any future female wrestlers will surpass her as the world record holder for the most championship titles.

Aside from being a high profile female wrestler, Trish is also a fitness model. The lean and in-shape Stratus has appeared on the cover of many top magazines including Total Women’s Fitness and Musclemag. She teamed up with fellow diva Stacey Lynn to release the calendar series “Dream Team.” Reportedly, Stratus was repeatedly asked to appear in Playboy (founded by Hugh Hefner) but turned down the offer.

In her romantic life, Trish is nothing like her wrestling persona, who was frequently changing boyfriends and getting in the middle of bad situations. Her husband is Ron Fiscio; the couple married in September of 2006, after meeting in high school and dating for sixteen years.
