Stratus blew up as a fitness sensation in the late-90s, but she never stopped watching wrestling. That's one of 24's most stunning admissions; Trish loved pro wrestling, so much so that she'd often talk about it when appearing on talk shows or radio to promote her model work.

In late-'98, Stratus was working an appearance in-studio when she bumped into Michael Hayes. He'd been in the next studio along recording inserts for WWF Slam Jam, and he was obviously impressed by the stunning blonde. Ever the worker, Hayes recommended she send in some stuff for the company to take a look at.

Trish went to work, and prepared a professional press kit for Vince McMahon's attention.

She didn't cut any corners. Stratus produced a quality document that had high-quality pictures from fitness competitions and photoshoots, and she also put together endless information on her achievements, personality and goals. That document bagged her a contract.
