Victoria made her professional wrestling debut in 2000 after being encouraged by Chyna to get into the industry. She was signed to WWE in the summer of that year. During her time with WWE, Victoria (real name Lisa Marie Varon) won two WWE Women’s Titles. Her run with the company lasted nine years before she initially retired. In 2009 Victoria signed with IMPACT Wrestling.
Over the years she has worked for other promotions such as Ring Of Honor (ROH) and all around the independent circuit. Her run with IMPACT resulted in five Women’s Knockout Championship runs. Victoria also won the Knockouts Tag Team Titles with Brooke Tessmacher. In 2004, Pro Wrestling Illustrated named Victoria their Woman of The Year.
Now, she’ll have one final run in 2019 before hanging up her boots for good.
What do you think about Victoria calling it a career in 2019?
