10 Reasons WWE Hope Amanda Is The New Trish Stratus

9. Educated

What set Trish Stratus apart from some models WWE signed, is that she was a very intelligent young woman. She was educated to a very good standard, having been enrolled at York University in Toronto to study Biology kinesiology. As fate would have it, a faculty strike forced her to look at other options. She got into the fitness modelling, which in turn caught the interest of WWE. The rest is history, but Stratus' education and intelligence did help her in the WWE. She was smart, and that helped her make a lot of money as one of WWE's savviest backstage businesswomen. Amanda also has an educational background that demonstrates her intelligence. She's got a Bachelor's degree in Speech Pathology from Iona College in New York. WWE like that sort of educational background in potential employees, as it demonstrates aptitude and transferable skills. They maybe see a bit of Stratus' history in Amanda, as someone who almost went into another profession.
