April 11, 2016

WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus recently spoke with TorontoSun.com about receiving the “Iron” Mike Mazurki Award and below are some highlights:

On her decision to retire and if she ever looks back:

“It think takes a certain braveness or courage to step away when you’re on top and just confidently walk away knowing that ‘I’m satisfied with what I did’ and I’m ready to start the next chapter,” Stratus admitted. “And I haven’t looked back.”

Does she still watch WWE programming?:

“You forget this crazy, whirlwind that you created and the impact that it left because you do remove yourself a little bit from it,” she said. “I still watch Raw, I tune into Total Divas once in a while so I’m connected to it, but I’m out of it (at the same time).”

“I still get fan mail and I still get letters,” she added. “You forget the worldwide reach of WWE.”
