History Wrestling / TrishStratus

** When Trish was feuding with Lita, she mentioned some moments in Lita's career. She mentioned her BreakupBreakout with Essa Rios, and Lita's appearance on ''DarkAngel'' before it was canceled. When Trish tried to put the blame on Lita for both the end of Rios' career and the show's demise, she called Lita "the kiss of death," and only the completely GenreBlind didn't realize the two were eventually going to ''actually'' kiss.

A former fitness model, Trish Stratus (real name: Patricia Anne Stratigias) wrestled for WorldWrestlingEntertainment in the early 2000s. Much like The Fabulous Moolah in eras past, Stratus was a prominent woman in ProfessionalWrestling.

A former fitness model, Trish Stratus (real name: Patricia Anne Stratigias) wrestled for WorldWrestlingEntertainment in the early 2000s, and she was awesome. Much like The Fabulous Moolah in eras past, Stratus exemplified what it meant to be a woman in ProfessionalWrestling -- not only being beautiful, but kicking more than her share of ass.

* AlphaBitch: A disgusting blemish on Trish's career is that she was the one that started the "Molly Holly has a big ass" angle that led to Molly beginning to go sour on professional wrestling.
** Though she didn't create the cancer scare that made Molly ''really'' want to leave the company.
* AmazonianBeauty: She's buff and tough, but no less sexy for it.

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: She managed to avert this trope occasionally, particularly in her feuds with Jazz and Victoria. Lita used a chair to give her a broken bloody nose, which lead to Trish continuing to compete with a protective face mask.

** Something of a tangent to this, when Mickie James was in her storyline as Trish's stalker, she began dressing like Trish, blond hair and all.

* CanadaEh: She's from Toronto, listen to how she pronounces words like 'about'.
* CatchPhrase: "100% Stratusfaction guaranteed." She more than lived up to her promise.
* DistaffCounterpart: Of [[{{Wrestling/TripleH}} Triple H]], since the entire Women's Division was centered around her for years, much like Triple H with the Heavyweight Division. One of her unofficial [[{{RedBaron}} nicknames]] is "Queen of Queens," a direct reference to Triple H calling himself the "King of Kings."

* EarnYourHappyEnding: She started as a valet. She ended as one of the most respected and beloved women's wrestlers in WWE history. And all because she worked hard to make it happen.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer:
** Mickie James, in Kayfabe.
** Apparently, the majority of Trish's fans tend to be women. Given that she slowly became of the best female performers in the business through hard work and didn't just coast on her looks, it's no surprise a lot of female (and male) fans respect the hell out of her.

* FollowTheLeader: As a fitness model with no experience, she opened the door for the Diva Search girls and for [[{{Wrestling/JohnLaurinaitis}} John Laurinaitis]] finding [[{{Wrestling/KellyKelly}} Barbara "Kelly Kelly" Blank]] and [[{{Wrestling/AliciaFox}} Victoria "Alicia Fox" Crawford]] in a swimsuit catalog.
* FunWithAcronyms: Her first valet job was with [[{{Wrestling/Test}} Test]] and Albert which she called T & A. Nevermind that [[{{Wrestling/TNA}} some other promotion]] later picked up the name.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: From the November 29, 2001 Smackdown. [[{{Wrestling/VinceMcMahon}} Vince McMahon]] confronted Trish, who was going to defend her Women's Title against Jacqueline, but that match didn't happen. Instead, Vince walked out and talked about how a third person was going to join his "Kiss My Ass" Club. He went on about his ass and told Trish that she wouldn't be doing anything she hadn't done before but this time it was in public, adding that he should probably turn around this time.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: One of the many reasons why Mickie James got so popular.
** Not just with Mickie, either. When Trish was feuding with Lita, she mentioned some moments in Lita's career. She mentioned her BreakupBreakout with Essa Rios, and Lita's appearance on ''DarkAngel'' before it was canceled. When Trish tried to put the blame on Lita for both the end of Rios' career and the show's demise, she called Lita "the kiss of death," and only the completely GenreBlind didn't realize the two were eventually going to ''actually'' kiss.

* HelloNurse: Considered to be the most attractive person in [[strike:Wrestling/{{WWE}}]] [[strike:ProfessionalWrestling]] The World. This reputation/hype actually predates wrestling, going back to her fitness modeling career.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: She accompanied TheBigShow to the ring on a few occasions. She's five-foot-four, and he's over seven feet tall.
* IReadItForTheArticles: She turned down offers to pose for Playboy magazine, saying she wanted to be remembered for her wrestling career. Without a doubt, she is.

* ModestyTowel: A 2004 skit that parodied an ''NFL Monday Night Football'' segment (featuring a towel-clad Nicolette Sheridan seducing Philadelphia Eagles wide-receiver Terrell Owens), with Trish taking the Sheridan role to seduce Shelton Benjamin and ... when he brushed her aside, [[{{Wrestling/VinceMcMahon}} Vince McMahon]].

* MsFanservice: Started out as this, but became one of the best female wrestlers of all time (while still being SMOKIN' hot).
* NiceHat: Her cowboy hat.
* OldShame: Averted with infamous "bark like a dog" incident with Vince. Some people found it demeaning, but Trish has stated that she had no problem with it because it was just a storyline.
** Played straight with "''That'' Jackie Gayda Match" (with [[{{Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield}} Bradshaw]] as her partner) on an episode of Raw in 2002. Stratus was visibly angry at the end of the match.

* RetiredBadass: She retired several years ago, and seemed to have become content running a yoga studio in Canada. However, come 2011, she jumped back in the fray like no time passed at all. On top of that, she's teaching the next generation on ''Tough Enough,'' and was even able to train Snooki from ''Jersey Shore'' well enough to put on a passable match at ''Wrestlemania.''
* [[HesBack She's Back]]: Wrestlemania 27. It sucks that she had to be involved with the Snooki angle, but seeing Trish in the ring again is almost worth it.

* TheRival: Lita, Mickie James.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Her dynamic with Lita, and Molly Holly too. [[LongRunner At first anyway.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: See the EarnYourHappyEnding above. Not only did she work hard to become one of the most respected Divas in the WWE, she also seems to enjoy her battle scars. During a radio show, she mentioned breaking a knuckle during a match, which left her missing that knuckle. She said the doctors wanted to build it back up with screws, but she asked if she could keep it.
* [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead Wearing A Flag On Your Butt]]: Trish has fought at least one match while wearing a pair of butt-hugging Canadian flag-patterned shorts. It was a truly glorious sight to see.

* AlphaBitch: A rather tiny blemish on Trish's career is that she was the one that started the "Molly Holly has a big ass" angle that led to Molly beginning to go sour on professional wrestling.

A former fitness model, Trish Stratus (real name: Patricia Anne Stratigias) wrestled for [[{{Wrestling/WWE}} WWE]] in the early 2000s, and she was awesome. She redefined what it meant to be a woman in ProfessionalWrestling -- by bypassing actually working her way to the big leagues and getting pushed immediately despite being a fitness model with no experience. She was [[{{Irony}} shoved down everybody's throat]] despite the fact that the only chant the fans ever had for her was "SLUT! SLUT! SLUT!"

Although WWE generally rewrote history to make it seem like she was always beloved, that wasn't the case. When she walked to the ring for her match against [[{{Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon}} Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley]] at WWF No Way Out in February 2001, the crowd was decidedly split. While some fans got on camera with a sign reading "Trish The Dish," there was also a sign that read "Trish [=Lewinsky=]".

* AlphaBitch: A rather dreadful blemish on Trish's career is that she was the one that started the "Molly Holly has a big ass" angle that led to Molly beginning to go sour on professional wrestling.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: She started as a valet. She ended as one of the most respected and beloved women's wrestlers in WWE history due to a massive overpush and dumbing down of the announcers who had to praise her as the greatest thing in the world.

* HelloNurse: Considered to be the most attractive person in the world, most likely due to mass hypnosis and/or something in the water. This reputation/hype actually predates wrestling, going back to her fitness modeling career.

* MsFanservice: The one thing she was good at doing. It wasn't a coincidence that her first action as an on-screen character was putting together a tag team called "T&A," since those were the reasons she got signed in the first place with no experience, meaning she was on the level of the Diva Search girls.

* KickChick: Her finishing move was delivering a kick to the temple, known as the "Chick Kick." It usually only got a pin if she was a hell however.

[[WrestleCrap R.D. Reynolds]] may have mentioned it once or twice, but she's one of his favorite personalities.

* {{Playboy}}: Averted; she turned down offers to pose for the magazine, saying she wanted to be remembered for her wrestling career. Without a doubt, she is.
