When talking about the Women’s Evolution in the WWE, the company often talks about some of the ladies that blazed the trail for the current crop of performers. One of those pioneers was Trish Stratus, who has even stood in the ring with some of the current performers before officially calling it a career at last year’s SummerSlam.
Stratus obviously has a lot to still give to the pro wrestling world and recently talked about that with the Women’s Wrestling Talk podcast. She talked about wanting to make some backstage contributions to the WWE, but namely she spoke about potentially becoming a coach at the WWE Performance Center. While she loves the idea and feels she could contribute a lot to the PC in terms of developing the women of the WWE, it sounds like family obligations and being away from home are the current roadblock.
“I would love to. I love the idea of it. The reality is it comes with the road, right? And I just can’t do the road because of my family, at this point anyway. They’re young now. I have a three-year old and Max just turned 7. So at this point, I just couldn’t go back on the road like that and leave my family like that but yeah, I’d love to contribute in some way.”
“It was nice to go back those couple times and just work with the girls and see how their minds work and telling the art of storytelling and just working with Fit [Finlay] again, it got me stimulated and him and I were in like this little — we’re like Frit and Frat. We just have this little connection when we were working together, and we would literally come up with ideas the more we would — and we’d be like, ‘Yeah…’ You just have that with someone. So we had that and so I thought, ‘Man, we could put some good matches together.’ We would be like co-agenting probably.”
“We would be awesome but, yeah I would like to contribute in some way and I’ve talked to Matt Bloom, my former partner about possibly going to NXT. We’ve talked about it on a number of occasions. It’s just like never the right time has come about to do that but, I’d love to work with young minds and that was the best part about Tough Enough was just to work with these kids and that sort of thing so, yeah, for sure.”
Stratus definitely could offer a lot to the youngsters in NXT. With her pedigree and the fact Stratus can relate to some of the talent coming in having little to no experience in pro wrestling, she could definitely provide a lot to help them reach their fullest potential.
