– Alex Obert of JourneyofaFrontman.com recently spoke with WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. The full interview is at this link. Below are highlights:
Women making a name for themselves in WWE NXT:
I think itโs amazing. Itโs about time. The girls are ready and the fans are ready. Iโm really excited to see whatโs gonna happen. I think theyโre doing a fantastic job. I want to see who is going to break out from the girls now since they came in as a cluster. Itโs an exciting time to see these strong characters, these strong athletes, and to be able to sit back and watch who is going to break out and be that star. Theyโre all stars. They are all great in the ring โ and what I love is they all have pretty defined characters from what weโve seen so far. Iโm proud of them. Itโs a good time for women in our business right now.
Advice for the up-and-coming Divas:
They have to challenge themselves and step out of the box every time they go out there. They have to stand out and give the fans something that intrigues them and will make them want to see more of them. I think people get used to their go-to moves and like staying in their comfort zone. But, even if its working, you still gotta mix it up. At the end of the day, itโs about going out there and making it the best damn two minutes youโve ever made for yourself. Also spotting the opportunity to do that is important. I think right now is the time we are waiting for that big star from the women to break out.
The NXT vision coming from Triple H:
Well the thing about Triple H is heโs very smart and is a visionary really. As the person in charge of talent, his job is to recognize their abilities, spot their potential, then provide them with the opportunity that could elevate them that way they can make the most of them in the company. The cool thing is that he looked at the Divas division and he didnโt just see them as women, he saw these amazing athletes and characters that could do well on the show and connect with the fans. Thatโs what he did, he gave them the opportunity. Once the fans connect with them, theyโre golden. Itโs cool to see Triple H in this role, itโs no coincidence this vision is coming from a multi-time champion who knows a thing or two about what works in the ring.
