Who is Trish Stratus?

Patricia Anne Stratigias is a Canadian retired professional wrestler, former fitness model, and a fitness guru, actress and television personality, better known by her stage name and former ring name Trish Stratus. She is best known for her tenure with WWE.

After beginning her career as a fitness model, Stratus began working for the World Wrestling Federation, which was later renamed World Wrestling Entertainment. Early in her career, she was involved in sexually themed storylines, such as managing the team T & A and an affair with Vince McMahon. As Stratus spent more time in the ring, her perceived wrestling skills strengthened and her popularity increased. Because of this, she was made a one-time WWE Hardcore Champion, three-time "WWE Babe of the Year" and was proclaimed "Diva of the Decade". After nearly seven years in the business, Stratus retired from professional wrestling at WWE Unforgiven on September 17, 2006 after winning her seventh WWE Women's Championship, the most in WWE history. In 2011, Stratus was a trainer for WWE Tough Enough and she was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013.

Aside from professional wrestling, Stratus appeared on a number of magazine covers and has been involved in charity work. She has also hosted several award and television shows, and owns a yoga studio.
