Victoria Weekly: By Sara Mason
Published: 06/12/04

Wow! It’s been a while since the last issue of this column was up hasn’t it? Many apologies for that, but it seemed like V-Web was going through a confusing time and this column suffered as a result. But things are back on track now and let’s see if we can make this “weekly” thing work out eh?

OK, so quite a bit has happened since the last time I wrote a column. Victoria finally won the title in a fatal 4 way match involving Jazz, Lita, and then-champion Molly, defended it against Molly at WM20, won and shaved Molly’s head bald, and then made 2 more defenses after that. 1 of those defenses was at Backlash against Lita, the other against Molly the following night.

The women’s division on RAW has also changed. We saw Miss Jackie leave us thanks to the draft lottery, and Jacqueline left to go compete with the cruiserweights on Smackdown. However, Nidia is now on RAW thanks to the aforementioned lottery and when she wrestles, she looks good. She’s not being used too much right now which is a shame but when she gets into the ring, it’s always a good match in my opinion.

Trish Stratus, the uber-face female of the WWE is now a heel, a bitch, a meanie poo-poo head, a….you get my point. Her heel turn was predictable after a certain point in her love triangle storyline, and now it’s interesting to see how it goes each week. Sadly she’s only had 5 matches since her heel turn and has won a whopping 2 of them….yippee.

Gail Kim is back, and is surprisingly holding her own. She’s doing far better then Lita and that’s obvious so I think another run with the title might be in order for her. Some people think that her being a 2x champ when she hasn’t been here for a full year yet would be lame, but who cares? She’s improved and she deserves it.

Tomorrow night is Bad Blood and Victoria defends the title against Lita, Trish Stratus, and Gail Kim in a fatal 4 way match. It should be a good one, considering the building history with these 4 women. Infact, let’s take a look at each individual competitor now.

Lita: Obviously a favorite to win by many. Does she deserve it? Not on your life. She still has ALOT of work to do before she can be considered championship material again. If she wins tomorrow night, the title is doomed.

Trish Stratus: I’m glad she’s in this match. Most say she doesn’t need the title since she’s a 4x champ, and I agree. BUT, she does need to wrestle more often so she doesn’t get ring rust because she’s so talented. I hope this leads to her winning the title at SummerSlam in her hometown of Toronto.

Gail Kim: Earned her way into this match. The original #1 contender for this match in the first place. It’s looking like Gail will win, but the WWE likes to throw out the unexpected so lord only knows. I for one will be cheering her on though.

Victoria: The current champ, and the woman this site is dedicated to. In earlier issues, I was singing her praises and saying she’d be a good face and a good champ and yadda yadda, however I’m now singing a different tune. The WWE has botched her face turn and her title reign, and has made her look like a fool. Her current music and dancing entrance? So sad. I’m glad it’s being dropped because it sucks, and it shocked me to learn it was Victoria’s idea. She needs to take time off to revamp her character.

Winner: either Lita or Gail Kim…I’d prefer Gail but knowing WWE, Lita will win.

I know that this site is dedicated to Victoria, so therefore I should show some bias to her. But, I don’t. I honestly feel the smart thing to do right now would be to drop the title from her and take her off of TV for a while to reinvent her character. Anyway, order Bad Blood to see what happens to the title and Victoria as well. See you next week and I hope you enjoyed this column! Bye bye for now!
