Wrestlers as Extreme Travel Hosts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Trish Stratus on the Stratusphere

— September 2, 2008 — World
Trish Stratus, the Canadian pro wrestler and sometime model has launched her own travel show, Stratusphere.

Whether its "glima wrestling in Iceland, muay thai boxing in Thailand, reindeer racing in Norway or paragliding in the Himalayas," Trish will do it all.

After traveling for years for work, she actually wants to be able to see the world, rather than just pass through it.

"People would ask me what it was like to go to a certain place, and I'd say, 'Well, I know about the Hilton and the arena,'" Trish Stratus said. "And no offence, but arenas are all kind of the same.

"I always struggled with the question, 'What's your favourite place to perform in?' So I'd have to say, 'Well, my favourite time was when I wrestled here,' but it was mostly because of the match, not necessarily the place."

In keeping with her WWE brand, Trish Stratus doesn't just travel to these places; she performs difficult physical challenges in each.

For examples, in Kochi, India, Trish Stratus learned the ancient sword fighting art of kalarippayat. The Statusphere show also gave her the chance to try Maori Fighting Arts and Sailing in New Zealand, Meke Dancing in Fiji and Vo Binh Dinh Wrestling in Vietnam.

With a super hot host and lots of culture, Trish Stratus might just have a mega hit!
