During the latest episode of Insight with Chris Van Vliet, WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus talks on her theme music, the day she was told she’d be women’s champion and if she is going to have one more match.
The giggle at the start of her theme music is not her:
“Yeah, it’s actually Lil Kim, and not many people know that. You know, we’re chatting. I’m a babbler a little bit. ‘Sorry about the wait [laughs].’ So people are like, ‘Oh, there’s the giggle.’ That’s actually not the giggle; it’s actually Lil Kim.”
On the day she was told she’d be Women’s Champion:
“Okay, as you know, maybe you don’t know. Let me tell you. Chyna had left with the championship. She was the champion. So there was no real women’s division. There was nothing for us to be really competing for. We’re going out there and putting on our little matches, but there’s no women’s division per se. Then they decided to bring the Women’s Championship back, and we’ve got six of the best women on the roster in the company at the time. We were bringing in Jazz, which was like, surprise, this is hardcore from ECW. It was big buzz behind it. We have Molly Holly. We got the debut of Jazz. We got Ivory. We got Jackie, Lita. They put it together. I’m like, ooh, this is amazing that I’m in this amazing epic match. We’re talking about it, and Fit is like, ‘And you’re winning the title tonight.’ I’m like I’m going to do what now? I think that’s what the crowd did as well when I won. They’re like, what? Complete underdog story, unexpected moment. It was North Carolina, so I think people thought it’s a Lita win because we do that sometimes. Oh, she’s certainly going to get it in her hometown, and I won. It was a moment of we’re about to have a women’s division that they’re going to focus on. They’re putting the title on me, huge responsibility. I’m up for the challenge; give me the ball, and I’m going to run with it. I had Fit in my corner. I don’t know what the original plans were or if that was original plans, but I do know that he spoke up for me. I don’t know if they were jockeying or were like, ‘Who should we put it on?’ But he definitely was like, ‘She’s been working her ass off. She should be the one.’ It was the great way to usher back in the women’s division. Here’s Trish Stratus, and here we are.”
On having another match, how much longer she wants to wrestle:
“I don’t know. I just know that I’m only gonna do it if I can give 100%. Every time I’ve gone back, I’ll watch the video and I’m like, is this sh*t? Let me see. I’m like, oh, it’s pretty good. But if I watch it back and I’m like, she was slower than usual, I don’t want it. I want to give you guys like my 100%. I don’t want you be like, no [it’s not good]. When I say due diligence, I remember I got the call for the 2018 Royal Rumble. First ever, historic, and they called me. It was John Laurinaitis. He was like, okay, they want you in it. It’s iconic. It’s historic, and I was like, I will let you know. I’m gonna check my calendar. I got in the ring and then I was like, ‘Yes, I am available, John.’ I just wanted to make sure that I could still do it. It turns out that wrestling’s like riding a bike when you’re a wrestler, I guess, or when you do yoga. I don’t know. But I’m not going to do it half-assed. I’m not giving you a cool 60. I want to give you 100% and make sure it’s impactful and it means something, and I’m good.”
