Trish Stratus joined WWE in 2000 after a career as a fitness model, and she was a recent guest on the “Inside the Ropes” podcast to discuss how she didn’t hear back from WWE for a while after sending a promotional package in. She said,
“I was a little discouraged but, ‘Okay hold on, let’s see if they do call, let me prepare the best possible package’ And so during that time I found out where Edge trained and I started wrestling.”
She continued, “Terry Taylor took my little promotional kit, put it on Jim Ross’s desk and said this is Trish Stratus, if you don’t want her, we’ll take her … when I sat down with Jim Ross, I remember one of the questions he said ‘you know it’s a very physical business,’ and I said yeah well I’ve been training for the last couple months and he was surprised to hear that because obviously I had no background in wrestling and I think that really kind of sent a little check mark on the interview.”
