In a contemporary dialogue with Adrian Hernandez, WWE’s Trish Stratus, who’s now an esteemed member of the WWE Hall of Fame, reminisced about the period when WWE roped in Lil Kim to craft her entrance theme. Also revealed were her initial doubts about the viability of this initiative before it actually came to life.
Here are some notable takeaways from this conversation:
Discussing her laughter in her entrance theme, Stratus stated: “I distinctly mentioned that I desired something akin to Undertaker. Something gripping. We devised [the giggle]. It exudes an appropriate essence of my character. Hence, the giggle was born. I yearned for an intro that started on a pleasing note.”
On her ambition of having Lil Kim involved in her entrance theme, Stratus said: “Absolutely. I recommended her but I never envisioned we could actually engage her. ‘Who knows, pipe dream, but why not give Lil Kim a shot?’ I truly never thought they could actually secure Lil Kim. Reflecting on the era of Attitude and the collaborations we had then – before such collaborations became the norm, this was really a remarkable collaboration. It’s amazing that I could work with her. We’ve had a few encounters and have chatted about it. There’s a sense of connection between us that’s always intriguing and enjoyable.”
