Trish Stratus, Fitness Model

Of course you associate the name Trish Stratus with the WWE.
She was the WWF/WWE Women's Wrestling Champion 7 times.
But before she was a professional wrestler or television personality, Trish was a sought after fitness model.
When Trish was growing up in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada, she wanted to become a doctor.
It looked like Trish was getting her wish when she became a pre-med student at York University in Toronto, Ontario.
Things looked good for her medical career until a faculty strike by YUFA in 1997 that lasted seven weeks, effectively shutting the college down.
Since Trish couldn't go to school, she got a job in World Gym, and was approached by Scott Able (who has trained over 300 bodybuilding and figure champions) to do a modeling job for a supplement line.
This lead to her catching the eye of Bob Kennedy, and being contracted to work for the Musclemag International fitness magazine from 1997 to 1999.
Trish became one of the world's most sought after fitness models, and wound up appearing on the cover of over 20 international fitness publications.
One of Trish's most remembered projects from her fitness period was the infamous The Dream Team calendar with fellow fitness model Stacey Lynn.

Angela Fong

Angela Fong is a Canadian model, actress, professional wrestling valet and female wrestler.
She was born on February 3, 1985 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Another beautiful woman from Canada.

Angelina started out appearing in model and bikini contests, she got some minor roles in movies and TV, and she was a B.C Lions Felions Dance Team Cheerleader.
So fitness is second nature to her.
She was in the 2007 WWE Diva Search, and even though she didn't place, the WWE signed her to a developmental contract in February 2008.

Angelina was sent to the WWE's developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) and started out as a valet, having catfights with some of the girls there.
But soon she began to develop actual wrestling skills and was moved into real matches there.
She is the current Queen of FCW.

Gail Kim

Well we took a departure last time with MMA, so let's move a little further away into the world of pro wrestling.
Even if wrestling is staged, you have to be in shape to take the bumps, bruises and chairshots that wrestlers get every week (and in some cases every night).

So let's start with Gail Kim.
Gail is a Canadian-born pro wrestler, valet, model, and actress of Korean descent.
She has held the Womens Wrestling Championship in both the WWE and TNA.

Before wrestling, Gail participated in basketball, volleyball, soccer, baseball and badminton, and was named "Athlete of the Year" twice at York Memorial Collegiate Institute in Toronto.
She studied kinesiology at the University of Toronto and nutrition at Ryerson University.

And of course as I mentioned before, Gail was both the WWE Women's Champion and the TNA Women's World Champion.
