Victoria

Her real name is Lisa Marie Varon - and, up until the January 17th, 2009 edition of SMACKDOWN, she had been at the employ of Titan Sports for the better part of the last two decades I do believe (sorry if it ages thee, Lisa Marie!)

She saw it all - and beat them all. Although she also "put over" the likes of scrawny'n'bitchy Trish Stratus, fitness models who had no real business wrestling in the first place (that would describe former WCW pretty face Torrie Wilson to a... well, T, assuredly!) and other Michelle-McCool-type-of-chicks who prove to be nothing more than FADS, more often than not, especially AFTER some of them have posed nude for Playboy; but I am digressing again!

One can only be crestfallen to learn that Victoria is retiring already. She was tougher than the late, great Sherri Martel, meaner than the late, great Nancy Elizabeth Toffoloni Daus (WCW's "Woman" of Horsemen fame) and a much greater in-ring performer than Sable aka Rena Mero aka Mrs. Brock Lesnar... Lisa Marie, as Victoria, had her place in wrestling much moreso than even an Elizabeth Ann Hulette ever did; because she COMPETED and is a natural athlete, not just a cheerleader of sorts. Amazingly, WCW passed an opportunity to hire her early on - while the same WCW hired "Miss Elizabeth" based upon her WWF/WWE tenure and notoriety, Wendy Barlow to portray Ric Flair's French maid "Fifi" and the execrable Debra based upon... the fact that she was married to a Horseman, really! Incredible...

Victoria, with cronie Steven Richards by her side, had a tremendously good run as Women's Champion - a run during which she proved without a shadow of a doubt that she was head and shoulders above the usual chosen champions (Stratus, Candice Michelle, Maria, Sable, Madusa Miceli aka "Alundra Blayze" - sheesh, Ashley Massaro, Lita, Chyna/Joanie Laurer, maybe even Miss Mona/Holly Molly, Mickie James, Wendi Richter and even, assuredly, the overrated Glamazon, Beth Phoenix...) and that newcomers had to rely on treachery to be able to compete with her - such as Brie Bella's swapping places with her identical twin sister Nikki in order to get by a singles match with the HBIC - the Black Widow - the Vicious Vixen herself... Victoria! No "glamazon" amalgamation/abomination can compare to THAT...!
(Side note of very funny proportions: when you google up "glamazon" you stand greater chances of finding this rather than this! *LOL*)

Whereas someone like Miss Hancock/Stacy Keibler (also a retired-too-early star) has great LEGS, Victoria/Lisa Marie Baron was and remains the female total package - from top to bottom, as amply evidenced by these shots right here:








I was so sure that, with either Kenny Dykstra or perhaps even new acolyte Natalya, Victoria was going to recreate her aura of greatness that she had when Steven Richards "worshipped" her during each ring entrance under this famous and evocative tune:




Oops - wrong Victoria... added 10 years later, too! 
*LOL*


All of her fans were certain that she would stick around, 
and, so well-surrounded, raise the bar and reach new heights! 
Not the case - it really is retirement time;
Lisa Marie Varon herself has confirmed it
on her MySpace profile, no less.



Here's to a great career, Victoria of WWE
- and to a great comeback - in TNA!
SOON...


You're unruly -
you don't give a damn
what any McMahon can possibly think!

Just DO IT!

;)
