Victoria, along with Molly Holly, was recently interviewed by “Ring The Belle”. During the interview, she discussed her pitch to Vince McMahon to allow her to bleed in a steel cage match against Lita and his reaction to her request. Here are the highlights from the interview:
On Wanting To Bleed During A Cage Match Against Lita & Vince’s Reaction:
One day I came to TV, and they were like, ‘you have a cage match.’ And I went ‘Are you kidding me?’ We gig our forehead to bleed sometime, and I wanted to gig [during the match]. I would never do it now, but at the time I thought we were so hardcore and we can do whatever the guys do. I went to Vince to ask him and he goes, ‘Thank you Victoria for wanting to do it, but no one wants to see a Diva bleed.’ I did ask Lita to throw me as hard as you can against the cage so I can get color naturally. I didn’t know how to do it, and I got a big knot.
Victoria & Molly On The Hardcore Stipulations That The Women Take On In Today’s WWE:
Victoria: It’s scary to watch. It’s very unpredictable with ladders and tables. It’s scary! I’m older and smarter, and I don’t want to get seriously hurt.
Molly: I wanted to do things well but I also didn’t want to get hurt. I have zero injuries from the pro wrestling business. I feel great every day, and I feel like it’s because I didn’t really push to do more high-risk stuff.
Victoria On If She’d Want To Wrestle For WWE Again:
It is not my decision. They have to call and invite you. I still do the indies and a lot of signings at Comic Cons. A lot of people think I have a choice. The company has to decide. It’s out of our hands.
