Before she was a Hall of Fame competitor in WWE, Trish Stratus was an internationally renowned Fitness Model; and now, in an exclusive interview, the fitness icon looks back on her start with Robert Kennedy Publishing following the company's surprise bankruptcy announcement last month.
Stratus gained her first taste of the international spotlight with RKP, adorning numerous covers (including MuscleMag International and Oxygen) as one of the company's signature Fitness Models. Her relationship with the company extended through her WWE career and up until the recent closing as she continued to work alongside the brand, partnering on a number of projects.
"With the sad news of the publication shutting down, I'm glad to have the chance to chat about this amazing brand, and the man behind it – Robert Kennedy," Stratus said. "I've always said that everything that has happened for me professionally is interlinked, and that chain began because of one man."
In the article, which is now up on TrishStratus.com, Stratus talks about how the relationship with Robert Kennedy Publishing started with her first photoshoot and how, with a group of girls, Robert Kennedy single- handedly created the fitness modeling industry. She also talks about the other female WWE Superstars who came from the fitness world. A photo gallery, including some never-before-seen photos and classic covers, is also available on the website.
