WWE Legend and hall of famer Trish Stratus has been expressing her criticisms of women’s wrestling in the present day. She has been questioning the killer instinct and intangible qualities possessed by her younger peers. Since her on-screen heel turn, Stratus has only become more vocal, even going as far as suggesting that she was the first wrestler to make fans “give a crap about the women’s division” during her peak run in the mid-2000s.
During a recent interview with the “After The Bell” podcast, Stratus was asked about her specific desires for today’s WWE product.
Trish Stratus responded to the question by stating, “I want to see more Trish Stratus,” implying that the women’s division could benefit from more sex appeal and showmanship. She also explained that every time she returns to WWE, she has a few criteria she wants to meet.
These include making sure the performance is interesting and intriguing for the fans, creating an impact for future generations, being challenged as a performer or entertainer, and confirming if she can still do it, given her experience of over 23 years in the field.
At WrestleMania 39, Trish Stratus received a pleasant surprise when all her questions were answered. She even confessed to feeling “at home again” and gained a sense of reassurance that she could perform as a full-time wrestler, rather than just a nostalgia act. She made this clear in her promo on “WWE Raw” earlier this week.
