Trish Stratus�?Emotional Reaction

During her appearance on the podcast, Seth Turner, one of the founders of the IPWHF, broke the news to her.

"Wow," Trish Stratus reacted. "Thank you so much. I remember being in there and going, 'One day, one day.' That is so special. Please tell the board members thank you. Let me check my calendar for October [laughs]. That means so much to me, like, to be recognized by colleagues and people in the business and that they acknowledge your career, it means so much, and I know we had that special connection when we were there. I appreciate it so much, it's like a crazy part of my 25th anniversary, it just feels like such a full circle moment."
The International Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame, founded in 2019, celebrates wrestling's biggest legends. Past inductees include Ric Flair, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, and Terry Funk.
