Daily Inspiration Quote by Trish Stratus

"Royal Canadian Air Farce, and I was in three sketches there. And they wrote some really great stuff for me"

About this Quote

Name-dropping Royal Canadian Air Farce isn’t just a credit on a resume for Trish Stratus; it’s a bid for legitimacy in a culture that’s spent decades treating pro wrestling as disposable spectacle. The line is deceptively plain, almost fan-convention casual, but the intent is strategic: she’s framing herself not as a wrestler who “tried acting,” but as an entertainer whose skills translated into a national comedy institution with its own gatekeeping aura. In Canada, Air Farce reads as mainstream, broadly respected, and politically adjacent - the kind of show your parents might actually watch. That contrast does a lot of work.

The subtext is about authorship and agency. “They wrote some really great stuff for me” signals that she wasn’t a novelty cameo wheeled out for a cheap gag. She’s emphasizing collaboration: professional writers saw enough range to tailor material, and she executed it. It’s also a soft rebuttal to the old “divas” framing around WWE women of her era, where women were too often positioned as bodies first, performers second. Here she’s claiming comedic timing, adaptability, and the ability to carry a sketch - qualities that read as craft, not charisma alone.

Context matters: Stratus built her fame in a period when wrestling was loudly exaggerated and relentlessly self-aware, but not always taken seriously by the broader entertainment ecosystem. By highlighting “three sketches” and “great stuff,” she’s quietly marking a crossover that isn’t redemption but validation: proof that the persona could be retooled without being erased.
