Victoria Weekly: By Sara Mason
Published: 12/29/03

OK folks, this week’s column is going to be a small one, simply because the only show from the RAW brand this week was the best of RAW 2003 special… no heat this week or anything like that sooo… yea.

The best of RAW 2003 special pretty much sucked, but anything with Jonathan Coachman usually will. The only diva match they showed(that I know of anyway) was the Victoria vs. Trish Stratus Chicago Street Fight match for the Women’s Championship. I didn’t bother watching because I already have that match on a tape somewhere in my entertainment center. I never like the year in review shows, I think they’re a waste of perfectly good air time… but nevertheless we have to deal with this absolute crap.

This week on RAW is the very last RAW of 2003, and I have to wonder if all the titles will be on the line. With the HHH/HBK match, and Victoria winning the #1 contendership when she did, you have to think that obviously the World and Women’s Titles will be on the line. We already know HHH will retain against HBK, but if the Women’s title match DOES take place, will Molly be as successful and retain against Victoria? I think the answer is simple… no, she won’t. And I’m not just saying this because this is a site for Victoria, but if you think about it, it really makes sense. Victoria could win the title and Jazz could return, cutting her celebration short. Remember, Victoria is the one who got Jazz eliminated from that 7 Diva Battle Royal last summer when Gail Kim won the title. Jazz could come back for revenge on Victoria, win the title at Royal Rumble, then she could work a program with Lita or Trish until Wrestlemania, with one of the faces winning the title, and Victoria or Molly feuding with that woman over the title.

Now, if this is how it all goes down, some people would see no point in making Victoria the champ if it’s only for a month or even less. But see, Molly and Jazz are both heels… the only faces right now are Ivory, Trish, and Lita. Trish and Lita are nowhere in the title picture right now, and Ivory doesn’t get over with the crowd all that much, so to make Victoria a face would make some sense to provide as a small “transition champion” to land the title on Jazz. I personally think Victoria as champion for a few weeks is better then Victoria not as champion at all… let’s just see how this plays out

Well folks, it’s time for the end this week… be sure to tune in to RAW on Monday to see if Victoria gets her shot… see you later!
