Victoria says its hurtful she's not invited to reunion shows

[héad.casé]

"It's a little hurtful, I'll be honest with you. I don't know if it's because I went to TNA. I did a tweet in the past. I went to the show that had the first Women's Ladder Match, of course. I knew all the cameramen, cable guys, and sound crew, but of course, everyone else changed. They were like, oh my God, what are you doing here? You have to go back and say hi to everybody. I said that I wanted to watch the show live because I don't like to see it on the monitor. I wanted to go backstage and say my congratulations to all the girls."

"He came back and said that they aren't letting anybody backstage, my feelings were hurt and I ended up tweeting about it. You don't air your laundry, which was my bad, but I was just really hurt. I didn't want to go hang out with everybody because I wanted to come back outside to watch the show, but when you come back and they tell you this, you're overthinking. I felt victimized. I felt that they didn't want Victoria there. I felt excluded as a wrestler. I felt like I wasn't needed anymore. I shouldn't have tweeted it but I was really hurt. I am an impulsive person. I should have thought about it a little longer. I said that I wanted to go backstage and congratulate the girls but I wasn't allowed backstage. I was so hurt. They didn't appreciate what I had done. I didn't feel good enough to have been there."

"I stay off social media on those days because fans can be a little hateful and when you see that it riles you up. I have learned a lot from Torrie Wilson and to stay away from negativity. I did my job, and when I go to Comic-Con and Wizard World and they tell me that I should be in the WWE Hall of Fame, that is when I know I did my job. I know that I am a nice person. Candice Michelle asked me whether I was at the Raw Reunion and I said, no. She said that it broke her heart that I wasn't there. Your friends were all the girls that were brought back, and then Lilian Garcia texted me saying, 'Don't take it personally. We all love you.' So, I don't overthink it anymore. It is what it is."

I mean, she's not wrong. She deserves more recognition and respect than she gets from the company.

[Mainia]

She's one of my favourites. I always hope that she'll appear back again in some capacity, but it never happens :/

[Deleted]

She was last seen at the Wrestlemania Divas battle royal (WM25 I think?) - you know, the one that a man won....? What's noteworthy about that is she had already left the WWE a couple months before that, so at some point they were fine with having her come back......

[Deleted]

they do so many awful things then lecture us about bullying

[Perfect Timing]

She's cool AF. Asked me to lift her up for a picture during a meet and greet.

[Hypnosis]

A lot of "I's" in there, but it is petty on WWE's part to not let Victoria see her friends at the Raw Reunion and downplay her career as much as they have.

[Tenshigure]

Yeah, this is one of those "what the hell did she do?" things we need more information on. Its just too weird that of all the women to wrong the McMahons/WWE, she's the one being blacklisted.

Especially since they seem to be embracing more of that era of women's wrestling when they spent the first part of the "women's revolution" basically saying "Those women were s***, stuff's better now".

I remember there being rumours that she was Chris Benoit's woman on the side before the end.

Don't know if that has anything to do with anything...

[mrtuesday]

I always thought it was the way she left that was the issue, not that she left.

She had told WWE she was leaving to go into MMA. They did a retirement angle with her on SmackDown. The big send off.

And then she show up on TNA a few months later.

So, I can see how some might feel burned by her.

And the one where a racist asshole sang a bunch of bad songs, so none of the girls got an introduction.

f*** Kid Rock.

they have always been inconsistent with grudges, you can sue them or accuse them of sexual harassment and end up coming back within a couple of years, you can say you are retiring and end up going to TNA instead and you are person non-grata. Guess it's what value they (I mean Vince really) see in you

[PKO]

It remains an odd situation.

I say this every time it’s mentioned, but it’s not because she went to TNA. After she left TNA she was allowed backstage at shows, she went to Hall of Fame, they did a WWE.com ‘Where are they now?’ article on her....then she stopped being allowed to things.

Casey from SCS said she did something that bothered a higher up and that’s why she hasn’t been invited to things. WWE is indeed weird with their grudges, but I’d like to see them get over this. I’d love to see her back for a Royal Rumble, and honestly, she’d be a great agent or trainer if that was something she was interested in. She always worked really well with the less talented women,

[The Blue Nova]

This makes me sad because victoria I think was very instrumental in the early to mid 2000s in the Division as she was not the norm she was not some barbie doll blonde she was fit and could kick butt

[edgestar]

It's not cool that this happened, but at the same time, can we really use TNA as a reason for why she feels blackballed? Christian went there, and was able to come back into the WWE fold.

[Celexa Bliss 54]

She was at the HOF last year, so it's weird. I thought that they were cool with her again, then she wasn't at the reunion back over the summer, so it's just confusing. She should definitely get to do a guest spot in the Rumble, at least.

With Torrie going in there was no way she wasn’t going to have Victoria there as a guest, they are such close friends. But I did think that her being there would help melt the ice with WWE and open the door to her being invited back into the fold, but I guess not.

True, but Christian played out his contact and it was pretty well known he was leaving for TNA.

I wish someone would grab one of those people by the shoulders and tell them, "Sable sued the company for millions of dollars, you inane, belligerent dipshit. Grow up and invite her back."
