Victoria
Where do I even begin with Victoria? Here is a woman who reinvented herself numerous times over the course of her rather lengthy stay with WWE, and though many of her years with the company came after the Attitude era had come to a close.
She actually got her start when the Godfather was still pimpin’ hos. In fact, Victoria started on WWE television as an actual member of the Godfather’s Ho Train!
After some time, though, Victoria would make an official in-ring debut as one of the most unpredictable members of the WWE women’s division. In the closing years of the Attitude era, Victoria won the Women’s Championship on two separate occasions and competed in some truly ground-breaking matches, including a Hardcore match with Trish Stratus and the first women’s steel cage match against Lita.
Victoria’s alignment with Stevie Richards saw her portrayed as a complete lunatic, and through this she made an instant connection with fans as a top heel.
Working with would-be Hall of Famers like Trish, Lita, Ivory and Jacqueline, along with other contemporaries like Jazz and Molly Holly, Victoria would contribute to the “Golden Age” of women’s wrestling, a time that WWE kicked under the rug years later in favor of the fluffier Divas division.
Though she would redefine herself many times over the next years, including a run with Torrie Wilson and Candice Michelle as “Vince’s Devils” and aligning herself with a young Natalya, those early years would make Victoria the wrestling royalty she is today.
