About.com has an interview up with former WWE Diva & Women's Champion Trish Stratus where she discusses the cancellation of "Armed & Famous", her experience with the show and what is next for her career. Here are a few highlights:

On the cancellation of "Armed & Famous":
"The death of Armed and Famous is courtesy of American Idol. We went up against American Idol and obviously, the numbers just weren't there. That's what they based the cancellation on, which is unfortunate. I find everybody really loved the show...I think it was just a numbers thing. We had four episodes that aired. We had two more to go, so at least we made it more than half way through."

On her experience with the show:
"It was amazing. It was an eye opening experience. I learned a lot about myself and my determination. We walked into an entirely new world that we didn't know how to tackle. It was really awesome to learn stuff and take all this new information and really conquer something different. Also, I really have a new respect for police officers, understanding even as a rookie what they go through. They have so many facets to their job."

What is next for her career:
"I retired from wrestling the middle of September last year. I got married at the end of September to my high school sweetheart. We waited basically for my whole wrestling career to be over with because I was on the road for seven years. And we finally got married and built a new house. We put off our honeymoon because we were moving. We were just getting settled into our new life and our new home and I get a call to go to Muncie, Indiana. So I kind of spent my honeymoon in Muncie, without my husband. My priority right now is to enjoy my husband and then I'll come back and see what offers are on my desk and move forward with something really fun."
