WWE hopefuls, take note.

After bumping into Michael Hayes backstage during a talk show appearance, Trish decided to take the plunge and see if the company would be interested in hiring her. Never one to do anything half-assed, Stratus set about the task of putting together a professional portfolio and press kit for Vince McMahon's attention.

The glossy document was designed to look like a magazine, included high-quality photographs from her model shoots and all other relevant details she thought the boss would like to read about. That one doc bagged Trish a job with the biggest wrestling promotion on the planet.

McMahon was impressed by the model's professional approach, even more so when seeing that Stratus had noted some of her media experience. Being honest, the pics alone probably would've earned her a tryout with anyone at the time.
