Victoria, real name Lisa Marie Varon, is considered a trailblazer in the history of the wrestling business for what she did for women’s wrestling. She found success in every promotion she worked for and stacked up title belts along the way. Trish Stratus recently pushed for her to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
She worked for WWE from 2000 through 2009 before going to TNA Wrestling, where she continued to have classic matches. She returned for a surprise appearance in the 2021 women’s Royal Rumble match.
While speaking on the latest Grown Ass Women podcast episode, they discussed backstage etiquette in pro wrestling. This is where the former WWE star noted that she was treated poorly when returning to WWE.
She didn’t clarify who the people were who treated her badly nor exactly when this happened, although it appears she was referring to the surprise return a few years ago as that is the only match she’s worked under the WWE banner since 2009.
“I was treated like shit when I came back to WWF [WWE] backstage. I was like, you know what? How I got treated by some of the people, I will never treat a human like that, ever. I’m going to be the welcoming arm. Like, if they last two days…They’re going to say, ‘I want to work with Lisa,'” Victoria stated.
