Victoria

When we talk about wrestlers who should join the WWE Hall of Fame every year, one name that always gets brought up is Victoria. If you wanna talk about career highlights deserving of a Hall of Fame nomination, it is practically criminal to think that Victoria has yet to be inducted.

At a time in WWE when matches were far too short for the women and the company tended to focus more on flaunting the beauty of their female competitors rather than highlighting their actual in-ring skill, Victoria made a name for herself as one of the best all around wrestlers that the roster had to offer at the time.

Her feuds and matches with the likes of Trish Stratus, Mickie James and Michelle McCool (just to name a few) were entertaining enough to show audiences that the women’s division was worth more than just the “bathroom break” stigma that many women’s matches had at the time.

So, in many ways, Victoria was a major contributor for what we would later know as the Women’s Evolution in WWE. Assuming that a Hall of Fame induction is inevitable for her, then a Royal Rumble spot may be a good way to re-introduce her to the WWE Universe after she hadn’t stepped in the company’s ring in over 10 years.
