Trish Stratus on Declining Playboy: Focus on Wrestling
Summary
– Trish Stratus turned down multiple offers from Playboy because the “sexy thing” was not natural for her.
– Stratus, known for her tomboyish nature, found it hard enough to pull off a sexy image and refused to pose nude.
– She focused on being the best female wrestler rather than taking on opportunities to pose for Playboy.
In a recent interview with Inside The Ropes, WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus explained why she declined multiple offers to pose for Playboy. Despite the magazine’s persistent requests, Stratus stated, “This whole sexy thing is not really my thing, believe it or not. They asked me a number of times and I just declined. The sexy thing is not necessarily natural for me. I’m very tomboyish. I look back at some of my interviews and they would ask, ‘What’s your favorite lingerie?’ and I’d say, ‘I wear boxer shorts and a tank top, how about that?’ Pulling off the sexy image was hard enough for me, but being naked was a definite no. I’m here to be a wrestler. I wanted to be the best female wrestler ever.”
Stratus’ decision highlights her commitment to her wrestling career over other lucrative opportunities. While other WWE women posed for Playboy, she remained focused on being the best in the ring.
