Trish: This one's for the girls
MUNCIE -- Trish Stratus's goal as a Muncie police officer in Armed & Famous is to empower female viewers who might be hesitant to enter the field of law enforcement, she told The Star Press.
"I was a woman making it in a male-dominated industry before, and that's the same opportunity I have here," she said.
Stratus, 30, retired this fall from World Wrestling Entertainment, where she held the WWE Women's title a record seven times between 2001 and 2006.
In a short interview with The Star Press, Stratus, an Ontario native, jokingly apologized in advance for talking slowly, noting she speaks "Canadian."
Stratus did not have a recognizable accent, however, as she answered questions about her views on Muncie and how her police training compares to her training as a fitness model and professional wrestler.
"With the physicality, I'm used to it," she said. "I was a professional wrestler, so I fought for a living."
Stratus describes herself as a tomboy and said she feels at home in "boys' clubs" like police departments.
Before taking to the streets as a cop, Stratus told the newspaper she was gradually overcoming the initial nerves related to being an officer.
"I really feel like each day we are getting better," she said. "I also know we are going to have backup."
Armed & Famous is being produced for CBS, which has not announced when the reality series will air.
