In 2018 we saw many firsts in women's wrestling from the first ever Women's Royal Rumble to the first Women's Elimination Chamber match. But another first for women happened 15 years earlier when Victoria took on Lita in the first women's steel cage match. Victoria was triumphant in that contest and she reminisced in her interview on Ring the Belle about that match and even pitching to Vince McMahon to allow her to blade during it. "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." www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2019/01/victoria-reveals-vince-mcmahon-reaction-when-she-wanted-to-650229/

I recall Lita bleeding pretty bad in her 2000 Survivor Series match with Ivory, though I believe that occurred via hardway.

I recall Lita bleeding pretty bad in her 2000 Survivor Series match with Ivory, though I believe that occurred via hardway. From the point of Ivory's heel. She had to switch back to boots for her matches after that.

I remember this cage match being pretty short, nothing special, and feeling very much like an afterthought for such an historic moment. I'm not surprised that Vince didn't think it was worth bleeding for.
