    Maybe she's just pulling out when she's in the full of her health and as top of her game as shes ever going to realistically get.

    Couldnt agree more.

    But maybe she's looking to leave wrestling all behind. Didn't she get married a little while back?

    From her Myspace:
    Hey MySpacers!
    It's been announced on WWE.com, so I guess I should address it. This Friday's Smackdown is my last match with WWE. I started with the company in 2000. I have had so many once in a lifetime experiences. It's been incredible. I was part of an era in Women's Professional Wrestling that will never be duplicated again.
    Choosing to leave was a very difficult decision. I think many of my colleagues considered me a "lifer". That is, they thought I'd be with WWE until I was old and grey. But I was not happy with the oppurtunities that were available to me within WWE. And at the end of the day, there are thousands and thousands of women who would kill or die for the chance to be a WWE Diva. It isn't right for me to fill that spot if my heart weren't in it.
    And I didn't make a rash decision to walk away. On many occasions I pushed for the Victoria that I'd want to watch. But we were on different pages. I respect their decisions, and they are their decisions to make. Being with WWE is very time consuming. And again, with where we were at, I would rather spend more time at home.
    I am a "lifer" though. That may not be WWE for life (although I will always be a fan). But I will always challenge myself. I am a competitor. As you can see from one of the pics in my photo gallery, I've been training in Jiu Jitsu. I started for the conditioning, but I have really excelled. It has crossed my mind to enter MMA. I've also been learning to DJ. I love music, and this girl has been getting her mix on. Of course I have the custom car shop, Black Widow Customs. And I haven't ruled out the idea of jumping back in the squared circle occasionally down the road.
    I am just so thankful for the experiences that I have had with WWE, for the great friends that I have made with WWE, and the best fans in the world that I have encountered because of WWE.
    So what am I doing first? I'm on vacation! I'm not going to say where I am, but it's warm, and I can look out the window and see palm trees, and I'll be here for a couple weeks. I have been getting bombarded with requests for interviews and appearances. As for appearances, you can contact me through MySpace for now. When I decide what direction I intend to take, I will acquire appropriate representation, and will pass info along to them.
    As for interview requests, several people have emailed me regarding "shoot interviews". I would like to say this. I am a fan of the Willy Wonka movie. I won a golden ticket. I was in Willy Wonka's Magical Chocolate Factory for nine years. If you're looking for an Everlasting Gobstopper, don't waste your time asking. It's not for sale.
    Finally, I want to thank all my MySpace Friends for your encouragement. I truly feel that we are friends, and I appreciate your support. I will keep blogging, and hope you all keep in touch.
    Later Sweet Potaters, Lisa Marie aka Victoria : )

    So what, jump back in time to try and convince Gail to stay? TNA used to have a great women's division but they can't fill the void left by Gail and their three biggest stars are heels. They need a face big time so Victoria could actually legitimize the womens division if they could get an ugly face over

    So she's officially retired? I figurd it might be a storyline of some sort. She should have retired on Raw really.

    I think Victoria should be remembered as one of the greatest women's wrestlers of all time. She had a great first year coming in as a heel and did pretty well as a babyface for a brief period.

    One of the moments that wil stand out for me is from a Raw, which I think may have been in the UK, where she lost a diva contest and proceeded to beat the sh*t out of every female in what was designed to be something for the fans to boo but everyone was cheering her. Then she cut a heel promo saying she was sick of all the divas and everyone that cheered that too. Really great moment. Perhaps it's on Youtube somewhere.

    She was one of the best divas in the WWE ever - her finishing move Widows Peak was better than even some of the male superstar moves.

    She was given a bad send off losing to Michelle TheTool :mad:

    She was wasted on SD would have loved to see her feud with Beth or Natalya


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,073 ✭✭✭✭cena


    yeah that mc cool one is one of the worst i'v ever seen she not even good looking. they of but her on raw for the final match against mikky james or even beth. she she first started the women wre much better at what they did than now.

    Victoria vs Trish Stratus Survivor Series 2002 ...first ever womens hardcore match...Best womens match ever

    Not only did she have the first hardcore match with Trish but she had the first cage match with Lita and the first hair match with Molly Holly. A true pioneer with as JP pointed out a phenomenal finisher for a woman. I'd say she's angling for a training job with what she said on Myspace. She's also apparently a class act from what I've heard. Such a shame we didn't see Victoria vs. Gail before she left


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 332 ✭✭BlackMamba


    A great pioneer in the Womens Division. She'll definitely be missed. Can't believe she had her last match to Michelle McCool and lost:mad::mad: Such a shame and a terrible way for her to leave. I would have liked her to have been on Raw and feud with Beth.

    I reckon she retired just in time. She's about 37 now (I think). Another 2 years and she'll be too crocked and damaged to do anything. Makes sense in a way....she wasn't being used to her best on SD.

    A graceful goodbye from her. You would thing that they would have given her the win.
    Then you remember it's WWE.

    She has debuted in TNA :D
