WWE Confirms Trish Stratus Retirement; AP Picks Up On Angle Release; John Cena Article
Obviously with the net buzzing the last few weeks about Trish Stratus' imminent retirement from wrestling, WWE would have to address it sooner or later. Last night, WWE confirmed Trish's departure by posting the folllowing article on wwe.com. It was also mentioned during Monday's Raw:
Lita drops a bombshell
In a blockbuster that will send a shockwave throughout sports-entertainment, WWE.com has learned that Trish Stratus will be retiring following Unforgiven next month.
However, it wasn’t Trish herself that provided this information to WWE.com. Earlier today, Women’s Champion Lita called the WWE.com offices to announce Trish’s retirement. Apparently, Lita overheard a personal telephone conversation this weekend between Trish and her parents about her decision to hang up the boots.
“Trish was saying that the road has been taking its toll on her and it was time to take some time for herself,” Lita told WWE.com, “but the hardest part was that she couldn’t decide how to tell her fans. Well, being the good friend that I am, I figured I’d break the news through WWE.com to alleviate her worries and save her the trouble of figuring out how to let down all her fans like that.”
The Associated Press not surprisingly picked up on the story of Kurt Angle leaving WWE. Obviously with Angle being an Olympic Gold Medalist for the US, his name and accolades merit him nationwide attention.
The Philly.com website has a brief interview with John Cena posted. Not much there to read, but some may wish to check it out.
