Trish Stratus

After beginning her career as a fitness model, Stratus began working for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which was later renamed World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), in March 2000.

Stratus made her in-ring debut on the June 20 taping of "SmackDown!", winning a tag team match with T & A against the Hardy Boyz and Lita. A storyline feud between Stratus and Lita developed after the match with Stratus attacking Lita on episodes of "Raw" and "SmackDown!", leading to an Indian Strap match on the July 24 edition of "Raw" which Stratus won with help from Stephanie McMahon. She finished the year competing unsuccessfully for the WWF Women's Championship numerous times, and leaving Test and Albert when the team disbanded.

Regal executed his finisher, the Regal Cutter, on Stratus and Stephanie then dumped sewage over Stratus' body. Vince stood over Stratus, and he told her she was a toy with which he had grown tired of playing.

From late November 2006 to mid-January 2007, Stratus temporarily moved to Muncie, Indiana for the CBS reality show "Armed & Famous".cite web|url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117954683.html?categoryid=1071&cs=1|title=Celebs cop CBS reality gig|author=Michael Schneider|publisher=Variety.com|accessdate=2007-08-26|date=2006-11-28] [cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/TrishStratus/2007/01/27/3460608.html|title=Stratus an Armed And Famous cop|author=Bill Harris|publisher=Toronto Sun|accessdate=2007-08-26|date=2007-01-27] She was given a spot in the series after Paul Heyman had mentioned her name to CBS. The concept was that she was one of five celebrities who trained as volunteer officers with the Muncie Police Department.cite web|url=http://realitytv.about.com/b/2007/02/03/qa-trish-stratus-discusses-armed-and-famous-what-it-was-like-the-cancellation-and-more.htm|title=Q&A: Trish Stratus Discusses Armed and Famous|author=Latoya West|publisher=About.com|accessdate=2007-08-27|date=2007-02-03] After finishing her training, Stratus and her real life officer partner were followed around by a camera crew while going on legitimate police calls. Although the show was scheduled to broadcast seven episodes starting on January 10, 2007, CBS canceled the series after just four of the episodes were aired.

After the cancellation of "Armed & Famous", Stratus hosted "The Second City's Next Comedy Legend". The contest was similar to the style of "America's Next Top Model", with Stratus portraying the "Tyra Banks" role as contact between the contestants and judges.

Wrestling|author=Jon Waldman|date=2007-03-19] The same year, a DVD about her career entitled "Trish Stratus - 100% Stratusfaction Guaranteed" was released.

In September 2007, Stratus announced that she would be opening a yoga studio in North Toronto called Stratusphere Yoga in 2008. Also in 2008, she hosted her own travel show also called "Stratusphere".

Personal life

Stratigias is of Greek descent and is the eldest daughter of John and Alice Stratigias. Her sisters are named Christie and Melissa.

Stratigias married her boyfriend and high school sweetheart of fourteen years, Ron, on September 30, 2006. Guests in attendance at her wedding included former WWE Divas Ashley Massaro, Lita, Molly Holly, Ivory, Torrie Wilson, as well as Lilian Garcia, Maria, Mickie James, and Victoria. Her bridal gown was featured on a cover of "Today's Bride" magazine.cite web|url=http://www.trishstratus.com/bio/default.asp?load=magazine|title=Trish Stratus - Bio - Print|accessdate=2007-08-08|publisher=TrishStratus.com] Shortly after the wedding, Stratus got the call to be a part of "Armed & Famous", so she filmed the show instead of going on her honeymoon.

Stratigias has also been involved with numerous charities such as Ronald McDonald House, Dreams Take Flight and the Special Olympics. [cite web|url=http://www.trishstratus.com/charity/|title=Trish Stratus - Bio - Charity|publisher=TrishStratus.com|accessdate=2007-08-29] On March 29, 2008, she participated in the Island Triathlon Series as part of a celebrity relay team to help raise money for Dignitas International.
