It’s been five years since Trish Stratus last competed at WrestleMania. This weekend she makes her return, but today we take a look back at her last appearance.
It was the feud that captivated fans and is highly regarded as one of the best Diva storylines of all time. For months, Mickie James tried to woo Trish — before deciding she’d rather take her down instead. It all culminated at WrestleMania 22 in 2006…
Part two:

I admit I stress about it too much. What am I going to wear? What tie should I pick out? Did I wear this color last year? It basically takes me a few weeks to make a decision. This year I even jumped on eBay and bought a new pocket square… you know in case I wanted to go with a pocket square (what am I, 60?) I hang the suit in my closet and try all sorts of color combinations. Finally I settle on an outfit, until I change my mind a few days later. It’s exhausting.
But it’s all worth it because the WrestleMania Art Show is one of my favorite nights of the year. I had such a good time the past few years that now I have really high hopes. So yeah I go overboard but when a normal night is sitting on our couch, watching American Idol, and drinking a bottle of cheap wine, well, you tend to get really excited for these things. (I truly wish we had 4 more kids, 2 just isn’t enough work…)
So I finally put it all together: black suit, blue striped shirt, black and blue tie. Perfect.
WrestleMania festivities officially kicked off in Atlanta last night with the annual WrestleMania Art charity event — and what would a red carpet event be without some Divas?
There was plenty of flower power on show as Natalya and Beth Phoenix both opted for frilly frocks. Meanwhile, Alicia Fox is spotted all smiles in a black number.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – the WWE Art Show is the best event of the year for wrestling fans. You may not believe me but here’s the deal. It is the first event of the week so a lot of fans aren’t in town yet. It is nice and intimate. The food is great. The drinks are flowing. The art is interesting (and for sale). The WWE stars are relaxed and just hanging around. If you want to meet one of your favorite stars, trust me, the Art Show is the way to go. The Axxess sessions are a lot of fun too, but there are a ton of people there, the lines are long, and you only get a brief moment with the star. Tonight will be my third Art Show and if it’s anything like the first two, I’m going to have a blast.
Two years ago it was all about Beth.
It was all about meeting Beth and thanking her for being such an inspiration. Thanking her for being a great role model. Thanking her for the Glamasuits, the tiaras, the Glam Slam…everything. (And um, I do find her kind of attractive…so that’s nice too.)
WWE celebrity guest star, Snooki and Stephanie McMahon took the stage earlier today in New York for one last press conference before Sunday’s WrestleMania event. Snooki sported a ‘Brunette Mafia’ t-shirt (more on the origins of that name in our interview with Trish) and posed with the likes of The Rock and John Cena. According … Read more

Spoilers for the April 14th Impact:
Holy F-bomb, Batman! Last night’s Raw needed a lot of censoring when it came to the Divas in a last effort to attract interest before Sunday’s WrestleMania pay per view.
In a taped segment, Trish Stratus and Snooki were spotted at a bar in New Jersey with the latter looking in no fit state for live TV. (Glug, glug, glug!) Lay-Cool didn’t know what was about to hit ’em…
Trish and Snooki are drinkin’ it up (well, one more than the other) at Miami Mike’s when some dude comes up to them and pesters our pint-sized (pint… *cough*) MTV star. Snooki tells Josh Mathews that she’s ready for ‘Mania (“Bring it on, bitches!”). The interview is interrupted by the lurker — who, by the way, is named Danny E (vital information right there) — and he ends up getting a smack from Snooki for his efforts. A change from being on the receiving end, eh?
Nearly 10 years ago she proved that she is indeed Tough Enough and now, in 2011, Jackie Haas is bringing that expertise to Diva Dirt!
We are pleased to announce today that Tough Enough 2 champion, former WWE Diva and former TNA Knockout, Jackie Haas, will join our coverage of the upcoming USA Network revival of WWE Tough Enough.
Allison Danger sent in some notes and corrections from SHIMMER this weekend: – The double team finish hit by Leva Bates and Allison Danger is called the Sonic Screwdriver. It is a lung blower into a currently unnamed variation of the Lovelace Choker. The pull through spinning neckbreaker was also utilized on its own against … Read more
