Our friend Arda Ocal over at The Score in Canada was joined by legendary WWE Diva Trish Stratus recently for a video interview.
In the first part of the interview (see below), Trish talks about the DVD release of her new movie, WrestleMania and the current gimmicks given to Eve Torres and Natalya.
Speaking on WrestleMania 28 and whether she might be involved, Trish says: “At this point it’s not in my calendar, but things change who knows. There’s a lot of very talented women right now that can do an amazing match at WrestleMania. I hope to see Beth Phoenix doing the pin up strong movement, because it’s been amazing to watch. But let’s just see what happens, you never know. I just hope there is a Divas match, even if I’m not in it.”
Addressing fans that say she’s had her time and shouldn’t be involved at ‘Mania, Trish agrees that she’s had her time and isn’t looking to take anyone’s spot, rather she sees it as an opportunity to aid the current generation of Divas and create new moments for the division. She also says she’d love to go back and work behind the scenes.
Regarding the Divas today, she says that the division “is just lacking the development we had. Everyone is asking me about Natalya, and Eve, and how controversial the angles are and can you believe it, in a negative way, but I look at it as a positive thing. Natalya is doing this flatulence gimmick, and there’s the hoeski gimmick for Eve. To me, this is just character development. Every time they’re out there, the audience has a chance to connect with them, and get more invested in them as characters and performers.”
