Trish quickly became a major name in the world of fitness modelling, and as such attracted the attention of professional wrestling companies in the United States of America. World Wrestling Federation won the race to sign her, and in November of 1999 Trish signed a multi-year deal with the company.

She was immediately sent to Sully's Gym to be trained, and the man at the helm was none other than Ron Hutchinson, a legend of the Toronto wrestling scene. Trish is in prestigious company when it comes to graduates of the gym, as it also produced Edge, Christian, Gail Kim, Beth Phoenix and others.

Hutchinson was also the head trainer of Carmen Electra's Naked Women's Wrestling League, which was exactly what it sounded like. Competitors included the legendary Spitney Beers and Harriet Bush.
