Headlines for Friday and Saturday, January 30 & 31, 2009
- Trish Stratus hinted at a return in an interview with the Slam Wrestling website in Calgary.
She said if she was to come back she would love a match with Beth Phoenix or Natalya: "Nattie
I think is going to be a major player soon, given the right chance to do what she does best,"
Stratus said. "Everyone knows how much I respect the Hart lineage, using Bret's sharpshooter
in my retirement match, wearing the pink and black boots in Toronto ... it's not a coincidence.
So I would be honoured to face someone who is a part of that legacy and I have no doubt in
my mind that we could blow away an audience."
