Trish Stratus isnt running from her legacy shes cashing in on it. During a recent conversation with Denise Salcedo, the WWE Hall of Famer addressed something shes heard for more than two decades: that she was everyones first crush. Instead of brushing it off, Trish revealed shes fully embraced it and turned it into a brand concept. Denise brought up Trish promoting her My First Crush signing idea and joked that nearly every guy she talks to still names Trish as their first celebrity crush. Thats when the former Womens Champion responded with humor first. Rather than shy away from the nostalgia, Trish explained that the reaction from fans actually pushed her to lean into it. She referenced wearing a My First Crush shirt during a SmackDown appearance and realizing just how much it resonated. She said fans immediately connected to it. The idea didnt stop at a T-shirt. Trish revealed that fans at autograph signings started requesting personalized inscriptions tied to the phrase and thats when she realized there was something bigger there. Its a perfect example of how Trish Stratus continues to evolve her brand long after the Attitude Era. What started as fan nostalgia has now become a smart marketing hook tied to appearances, merchandise, and personal interaction. Shes not just remembered shes still relevant, and she knows exactly how to work that connection. Trish has built a career on understanding timing, presentation, and fan psychology.
