Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to talk with former WWE Women's champion Trish Stratus on several occasions.
Between WWE press conferences, news-breakers and stops along promo tours for Stratusphere Yoga and, of course, the path to today's launch of her new flick Bounty Hunters, I've had the opportunity to chat with Trish on several occasions, and as a result our conversations tend to stray over a number of topics, ranging from her next big project to my books and, of course, the mat wars.
Ah yes, the wrestling chatter. Not every story on Trish, as longtime SLAM! Wrestling fans know, focuses on wrestling. Between appearing with Second City, launching her yoga studio and going on tour for her workout DVD, Trish may be the busiest woman in Canada; but even mired in the deepest part of a media frenzy around her soon-to launch-DVD, which includes tonight's red carpet premiere event, there's a side to Trish that is still the same wrestling fan who willingly waxes squared circle poetics when given the chance.
But more on that in a bit.
So as was intended, we started talking about the premier of Bounty Hunters, which is getting the red carpet treatment tonight in downtown Toronto. The project has been almost two years in production, from the time Trish began training for the role in 2010, to filming, to film festival inclusions and U.S. and worldwide distribution, through to today's event.
Needless to say, for a person like Trish who likes to get involved in so many aspects of anything she works on, there is a feeling of "finally!" now that the big launch day is here.
"Now it's like 'ahh' -- a big sigh of relief; we're finally, here. Now I'll have 300 of my closest friends, family and fans there. I couldn't ask for a better moment," she told SLAM! Wrestling. (Through her website, Trish later announced that a Q&A and autograph session will take place after the event.)
Make no mistake about it though -- Trish takes pride in this work. Without spoiling too much about the movie, Trish does get to showcase some parts of the wrestling world, something rarely seen in mainstream movies (Trish referenced Scarlett Johansson's performance in Iron Man as one of the few examples of this).
So what happens next for Trish? Well, that's a bit of a mystery. Rather than leak anything right away, Trish opined that "the next day (the day after the launch) will be a nice, restful day." Naturally, I couldn't help but openly challenge her on that. After all, this was the same person that probably plans more in a day than most of us do in a week.
So the conversation then drifted, as alluded to earlier, about wrestling. The much talked about Tweets from Trish in regards to current WWE Diva's champ Beth Phoenix have led many to speculate that the Toronto-born-and-proud Stratus will be entering WrestleMania XXVIII to face Phoenix. Trish, naturally, played it a little coy, saying nothing had been planned. But she did leave a little wonderment.
"She thinks she's most dominant, I believe I am. So..." Trish said alongside her signature laugh.
Okay, fair enough.
And to show that Trish hasn't completely turned off her TV amidst her crazy schedule, she went on to talk about how she sees positives in what has happened recently with the likes of Kelly Kelly, Eve Torres and Natalya. In talking about Eve's recent heel turn, which was chided by many wrestling pundits, Trish remarks that, "whether you agree or disagree with the actual angle, the bottom line is it's character development, and that's a good thing for the Women's division."
So with all that in mind, I wish Trish nothing but the best tonight, one of the biggest nights of her budding movie career.
Now about that screening in Winnipeg...
Winnipeg's Jon Waldman is a multi-time best-selling author. True story. His next book, covering the history of hockey, is slated for release in 2013.

Fundraising fit for a queen
WHAT "Just Drag: Once Upon a Queendom"WHERE New Candlelight Theatre, 2208 Millers Road, WilmingtonWHEN 6:30 p.m., tonightCOST $25INFO www.nctstage.org"Royalty" will be at the New Candlelight Theater tonight for its bi-annual fundraising drag show, "Once Upon a Queendom." Campy and over-the-top, the show features two dazzling acts.
First, the audience will be treated to scenes from "The Wizard of Oz" and "The Wiz" as they've never seen the shows before. The second act is "actor's choice" as long as it fits in with the theme of the show.
"People are going to love the audience interaction," said one of the show's performers Petra DeLuca. "The level of creativity is out of this world. Most everyone comes up with their own costuming, from huge headpieces and fantastic wardrobe to amazing makeup and their own choreography."
Unlike other drag shows, though, there is no lip-synching. This is all live.
"I'm singing 'If I Only Had a Brain' as a total ditzy blonde in act one," said DeLuca. "In act two, I'm singing 'Bohemian Rhapsody.' It's not so much a character as an in-your-face performance.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. The ticket price ($25) includes dinner and there will be a full bar throughout the show.
Setting the stage for a sale
WHAT Estate SaleWHERE Delaware Theatre Company, 200 Water St., WilmingtonWHEN 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., SaturdayCOST FreeINFO www.delawaretheatre.orgStages set for Delaware Theatre Company productions include carefully selected pieces of furniture, hard-to-find vintage pieces and, of course, mountains of costumes. Tomorrow, though, all of that those one-of-a-kind items will likely find new homes during the DTC Estate Sale.
Curtain call for the event is 8 a.m. and DTC Marketing Manager Amanda Curry said that people should arrive early for first crack at all of the merchandise. What's for sale? Clothing for men and women, furniture, toys, typewriters, record players, old lamps, hats and everything it takes to bring another world to life on the stage. Items range in price from 50 cents to $50. Curry added that there may be a couple of more expensive items but nothing will be more than $100.
"We're delighted to present a wealth of items from our acclaimed shows here at DTC and allow theater-goers and members of other theaters the opportunity to own an item that was on the stage," said Curry. "For example, loved 'The Outgoing Tide' this season? We'll have shirts worn by actor Peter Strauss for purchase."
An aristocratic closet comes to life
WHAT "The Costumes of 'Downton Abbey'"WHERE Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library, 5105 Kennett Pike, WilmingtonWHEN 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through SundayCOST $5 to $18INFO www.winterthur.orgWinterthur curators have created an exhibit so that visitors can experience the fictional world of "Downton Abbey" while also highlighting the contrasting world of Winterthur founder Henry Francis du Pont and his contemporaries in the first half of the 20th century.
A co-production of Carnival Films and Masterpiece Theatre, "Downton Abbey" depicts life in an aristocratic household of the fictional Earl and Countess of Grantham and is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed period dramas ever produced. It has won a Golden Globe Award for Best Miniseries and seven Emmys including a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries.
"Winterthur is delighted to add this artistic and historical masterpiece to our already outstanding schedule of major exhibitions for the coming year," said Winterthur Director David Roselle. "The exhibit will not only showcase authentic designs from the series that has taken America by storm but also provide a remarkable educational experience by holding up a mirror to both places and societies. We think it's going to be a real treat."
Approximately 35 historically accurate costumes from the television show will be displayed in Winterthur's largest gallery space. The costumes will be supplemented by photographs and vignettes inspired by the fictional program and by real life at Winterthur.
Bonus: Book some midweek fun
WHAT "An Evening with the Author," featuring Caroline LeavittWHERE Lamborn Library, 1041 Valley Road, HockessinWHEN 6 to 8 p.m., Wednesday, June 19COST $10INFO (302) 235-7665Bibliophiles take notice. The Hockessin Bookshelf is bringing yet another best-selling author to town. This time, it's American novelist Caroline Leavitt who will be discussing her latest work, "Is This Tomorrow."
The author of 10 books and numerous essays and articles, Leavitt's new book takes readers to the 1950s and puts them in the middle of the disappearance of 12-year-old Jimmy Rearson. An examination of grief and loss wrapped up in a suspense-driven plot, the book poses what happens to the people left behind after tragedy.
Unlike other book signings, it's likely that fans of Leavitt will have ample opportunity to chat one-on-one with the author. There are no long lines for signatures. Instead, everybody mixes and mingles while chatting and munching on the provided refreshments. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased by visiting the Hockessin Bookshelf, located at 7179 Lancaster Pike. Tickets will be available at the door but Dowling said that readers will still need to let her know in advance that they're attending.
"Just call us and we'll reserve the spot," said Dowling. "However, we will only be able to accept cash or personal checks at the event so people should be prepared for that."

Nightmare514 avait besoin d'un nouveau design de Tee-shirt et a lancé un concours sur 99designs.
Un gagnant a été sélectionné de 63 designs proposés par 16 designers freelance.
I run the Broad Street 10 mile run every year and want a shirt to help train.
I want a band across the bottom of the shirt where the length of the race I am training for is up-side-down. In this case the band would say "TEN MILES" or "10 Miles" or "10 mi", but the text would be inverted so you could read it while you were wearing the shirt by looking down.
This will allow me to see it as a constant reminder every time I wear the shirt and wipe the sweat off my face what I am training for.
If this shirt is successful I will need many more designs based on feedback from customers.
Runners who are training for races of certain distances. 5k, 10k, 13.1 Half Marathon, 26.2 Full Marathons. I am looking to target recreational runners, so logos of feet, winged shoes, and running stick figures would be great.
I want it to look more aggressive than the normal running shirts, so similar to Affliction or MMA styles would be great. Anything having to do with training hard and possibly breaking through a barrier or coming over a wall or fence would be great on the artwork side of things.
Must have have website name and distance of a race printed up-side down on the bottom of the shirt. This is the primary objective. Also incorporating the name of the website is required, but is a secondary priority. I would prefer it on the sleeve but anywhere is fine. .
I the race distance should be a band that clearly is a different color than the rest of the shirt. It should be bold and draw attention to the fact it is meant to be upside down.
However, the middle of the shirt should have some cool graphics with the website domain name or a slogan like "Train Hard" incorporated.
The print will be up-side-down so the runner can read it every time they wipe the sweat off their face.
Lions, Dragons, Wolves, or Griffins, blood, sweat and tears, are cool too. I live in Philadelphia so the liberty bell or any else having to do with Philly is welcome. I do not want feminine colors.
