For a woman who used to make her living procuring organs for donation at an eyes and tissue bank, the WWE female wrestler known as Victoria has come a long way. Born of Puerto Rican and Turkish decent, Lisa Marie Varon had grown up wanting to become a world class biologist and was well on her way to that profession during her college years. A former cheerleader, Lisa decided to move into the world of fitness competitions as a hobby during her studies; and eventually turned it into a successful modeling career -- going on to meet with fellow superstars Torrie Wilson and Trish Stratus years before any of them were wrestlers. In fact, her friendship with Torrie Wilson is what led her directly into the wrestling business; as she was asked to appear as an extra during a live WCW event -- she had only just decided to drop in and visit her friend Torrie earlier that day. From that moment on, she couldn't get enough. Not too long afterward, Victoria signed on with UPW before being signed on full time with the WWF. Trained in OVW for more than two years, "Queen Victoria" made her WWF debut as one of the Godfather's Ho's (you may remember her as the one who was leading the "Save the Ho" campaign) and would later resurface as Trish Stratus' nemesis on Monday Night RAW. In the time since, Victoria has gone on to become one of the most respected female grapplers in the sport. Currently aligned with Steven Richards, Victoria is in the midst of feuding with, well, whomever gets in her way. Look for continued success from her in the future.
