20 Things You Didn’t Know About Trish Stratus

14. Being A Valet Frustrated Her

Test And Albert T A Trish Stratus

Trish wasn't hired to actually wrestle at first. Nah, she was put in the more typical role of managerial eye candy and worked as a valet for Test and Albert (T&A; who knows which one of the wrestlers was t*ts and which was ass though) during her early months under contract.

She was less than satisfied, or should that be 'Stratusfied'?

Despite describing the experience as a "valuable learning tool" on WWE 24, Trish felt the role was a limited one, and it wasn't long before frustration set in. Stratus yearned to wrestle. She knew she had the athleticism to give it a right good go, and she knew she could do way more than simply stand there with her boobs popping out as Jerry Lawler fawned over her on commentary.

Trish had no choice but to "trust the process" however. It became clear quickly that she'd have to fight for her chance and then seize it when company chiefs finally caved. Proving herself was a long road.
