Trish Stratus never did Playboy, but apparently, it wasn’t from Vince McMahon‘s lack of trying.
Multiple WWE Superstars graced the pages of Playboy magazine over the years, but Trish Stratus wasn’t one of them. The WWE Hall of Famer was a recent guest on Pod Meets World. When asked about never posing for Playboy magazine and whether she regrets it, Stratus said that, even though Vince McMahon hounded her like crazy to do it, it just wasn’t for her.
“No, it’s just not for me,” Trish Stratus said. “I’m like a Tomboy, even though I am known as a sex symbol, I suppose. That is not me. That is my character. It was not even an option. ‘That is not me.’ Even when I had to do lingerie stuff, it just wasn’t me. It was very put on.
“One time, they had these annual magazines called the Divas Magazine, which was our Swimsuit Magazine, where we would go to exotic locations. I don’t know if it was budget cuts or ‘horny writer storylines,’ but suddenly, instead of the annual bikini issue, they wanted a lingerie issue, and I was like, ‘Eww.’ I didn’t want to do it. It felt so silly to me, so I made this whole sports lingerie look.
“When Playboy came along, I was like, ‘Absolutely not interested.’ Vince (McMahon), oh my God, hounded me like crazy. He’s like, ‘It’s a great opportunity.’ I was shown during that time, ‘If you turn this down, we’re going to give your opportunity to her. Are you sure?’ ‘No, I still don’t want to do it. Thank you.’ They came to me for years and years, and I was like, ‘No.’ I do not regret it. It’s just not my thing. Now that I have a kid and everything, I can’t even imagine. That is my decision, and I stand by it.” [H/T: Fightful]
