Trish Stratus announced for WWE Raw 25

With the show just days away, Trish Stratus has been added to the lineup for Raw’s 25th anniversary episode.

Stratus joins Nikki & Brie Bella, Jacqueline Moore, Torrie Wilson, Terri Runnels, Maria Kanellis, Michelle McCool, and Kelly Kelly as women’s wrestlers who will be making special appearances on Monday night. Stratus was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013 and then did the induction speech for Lita the following year.

Monday’s Raw is the go-home show for the Royal Rumble. The show should answer whether any legends will be advertised for the women’s Rumble in advance. There was a backstage segment on the January 8th episode where it was teased that Kurt Angle was talking to someone who hasn’t wrestled in years about being in the match.

Wrestling Weekly: Chyna, Conor (yes), Trish Stratus, Lance Russell

Les is back from his training camp weekend in New Orleans at Luke Hawx’s Wildkat Sports and ready to talk all sorts of things, like the camp this past weekend and the passing of Prince and Chyna this week.  Les and Vic are BIG music guys so Prince was a major deal for both of them; after discussing Prince, some good health news for Louie Tillet, and the New Orleans weekend, we’ll get into the WWE career of Chyna. (10:46) Specifically, her time with HHH because it skyrocketed both of them to major stardom.  How big a role did she have in HHH becoming a major main event player, how she influenced the role of women in wrestling, thoughts on her interaction with the male stars of the attitude era and more.  We’ll veer slightly onto Conor McGregor’s current situation with UFC (40:23).  No, we’re not MMA experts and we’re not spending a ton of time on the subject, but the story did cause a question about issues between wrestlers and promoters to pop into Vic’s head, so he’ll ask Les about it.  From there, we’ll talk a little Trish Stratus, (50:43) who was honored recently at Cauliflower Alley and sneak in a story about the great Lance Russell (57:09) as well.  Thanks for listening and have a great weekend~!
