Details on former champion suffering gruesome injuries in WWE match against Trish Stratus

Former WWE Women's Champion Victoria recently addressed her Hardcore Match against Trish Stratus in 2003.

In July 2002, Victoria made her main roster debut against Trish Stratus on Sunday Night Heat. Over the next four years, the two ladies shared the ring several times on Monday Night RAW and SmackDown.

One of their most notable matches came in November 2002 when Victoria defeated Stratus in a Hardcore Match at Survivor Series to capture the Women's Title.

In a recent edition of Fan Forum Five on Trish Stratus' official website, a fan asked Victoria about their preparation for their Hardcore Match. She revealed that they did not rehearse using weapons beforehand. The former champion also disclosed that she suffered multiple injuries.

"We never actually rehearsed hitting each other with objects. It was very scary and that's why hardcore matches tend to be very difficult. You don't know the pain you are going to encounter when you are in the ring. Thank God for adrenaline, it's an easy way to get through it. But the next day you feel the pain. That hardcore match. I broke my tooth in half, broke my nose, and got a huge lump on my head. But I could not have asked for a better opponent for those type of matches," she said.

Victoria said a co-worker tried to get her topless on WWE TV. Check out the story here.
