It’s a great honor to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and some recognizable names from the WWE women’s division have cemented their legacy with an induction over the years, but one name who has yet to become a Hall of Famer is former WWE Women’s Champion Victoria.
During a recent episode of the After The Bell podcast Trish Stratus reflected on her hardcore match with Victoria at Survivor Series in 2002, and she also questioned why Victoria isn’t in the Hall of Fame yet.
“But not in the Hall of Fame talk. We were right there. We were there when fans were at the point of, ‘I think we’re digging this, women can wrestle. Cool. I’ll watch. I won’t go to the bathroom during this segment,’ and they would tune in. Victoria and I knew, ‘We got them now.’ They’re giving us characters and storyline development and we’re actually going to have a (video) package before we go out and wrestle. We didn’t have that before. Now, we get it, just like the guys. Victoria was there and we were at that moment where we turned the corner for women’s wrestling where, ‘Now, this is an acceptable part of the show,’ and we’re going to take it to another level and go hardcore and do stuff that you didn’t see the women do. We killed our bodies doing it. I find it so crazy that she is so underrated, under recognized. How many times are we going to have a Hall of Fame? I love Torrie Wilson and Stacy Keibler, but this is a wrestling (company), I know we don’t say ‘wrestling,’ for some reason, I don’t know why, I am a wrestler and we work for World Wrestling Entertainment, I’d like to see a wrestler maybe get into the Hall of Fame next like Victoria. Maybe I’m crazy.”
