Patricia Anne Stratigias (born December 18, 1975),better known
as Trish Stratus, is a former fitness model, former professional
wrestler and television personality from Canada.
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. 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
wrestling skills and popularity strengthened. Because of this,
she was 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
wrestling on September 17, 2006 after winning her seventh WWE
Women's Championship, the most in WWE history.
Aside from professional wrestling, Stratus modeled for and
appeared on numerous magazine covers and has been involved in
charity work. She has also been the host of several award and
television shows, including Stratusphere in 2008.
