Lady Victoria - Luchadora

Lady Victoria was born Victoria Ann Moreno on September 15, 1972 in Barstow, California.
During her career she has been a professional wrestler, luchadora, manager, valet, and actress.
She was trained by Billy Anderson, Jesse Hernandez and Sergio Garcia.

Lady Victoria made her pro wrestling debut on January 16, 1993 in Tijuana.
She has wrestled all over Mexico and the US for promotions like AAA, CMLL/EMLL, IWRG, Promo Aztecas, and XPW.

Lady Victoria has attained almost a cult status because of appearances in a comic book published by Pin and Ink, ThunderGirls titled “Lady Victoria vs. Queen of the Vampires”.
LadySports Magazine helped to boost her career with articles and getting her involved with their wrestling promotion, the Professional Girl Wrestling Association (PGWA).
She went to Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), feuding with Zuleyma, Miss Janeth, and La Briosa.

Lady Victoria then went to International Wrestling Revolution Group where she feuded with Miss Janeth (again), Barbara Blaze, La Indomable, Mohicana, and Migala.
She then moved to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre y La Empressa, wrestling against the likes of La Diabolica, Infernal, and Amapola.
Moving to Xtreme Pro Wrestling, she became the manager and sometimes partner of Damien and Halloween.
She went into semi-retirement from wrestling, but she returned to IWRG and LLF in the summer of 2008 for a few special matches.

WWA World Women's Wrestling Championship

WWA World Women's Wrestling Championship

Another title without a clear pedigree in Lucha Libre is the WWA World Women's Wrestling Championship.
But it does have the distinction of changing hands once in another country.
Not Japan but Hungary.

Zuleyma was the first champion. It's unclear if this was done via a tournament or if it was awarded.
Lola Gonzalez defeated Zuleyma in a wrestling match on July 20th, 1991 to take the title at Auditorio De Tijuana.
Then in November of 1991, Monster Ripper (the WWF's Big Bertha) defeated Lola Gonzalez in Hungary for the belt.
Ten years later (?) Ayako Hamada defeated Monster Ripper for the belt in March of 2003.
However, Monster Ripper passed away in 2001, two years before the match supposedly took place. So I am imagining that the title was actually awarded to Ayako.
Ayako defended the belt several times in 2003, but now the title is listed as inactive although she is still listed as the title holder.

I'm wondering if maybe the WWWA World Heavyweight Championship which was in All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling, wasn't confused with the WWA title since Monster Ripper and Ayako Hamada both held that title at one time.

UWA World Women's Wrestling Championship

The UWA World Women's Wrestling Championship was originally a Joshi Puroresu title, but unlike the UWA International Women's Wrestling Championship that was defended in Japan, the UWA World Women's Championship was mainly defended in Mexico.
The first holder of the belt though was an American.
Vickie Williams defeated Irma González on December 9th, 1979 in Mexico City to become the first champion.
Then Estela Molina turned right around and took the title from Vickie Williams a few days later on December 23rd 1979 in El Toreo De Naucalpan.
The belt changed hands several times with many of the great luchadoras holding it at one time or another.
Irma González, Chabela Romero, Lola Gonzalez, Pantera Surena, Jaguar Yokota and Shinobu Kandori all held the belt at one time or another until the title was declared vacant when 1987 Shinobu Kandori left the promotion.
A match was held for the championship in Tokyo, with Lola Gonzalez taking the title for the fourth time after defeating Harley Saito on October 10th, 1987.
Lola held the belt for almost four years till Zuleyma won the title on February 23rd, 1991 at Pista Arena Revolucion.
Zuleyma defended the belt against almost every top luchadora in Lucha Libre till she was defeated by her sister Miss Janeth, on September 7th, 2001 in Nuevo Leon.
Miss Janeth lost the belt to Ayako Hamada, but won it back, and is listed as the UWA World Women's Wrestling Champion today.

The Mexican National Women's Tag Team Championship

The first title holders, Irma Aguilar and Irma Gonzalez

Besides the The Mexican National Women's Wrestling Championship, there was also a recognized tag team title, the Mexican National Women's Tag Team Championship.
And like the singles title, the Championship was held by famous names in the Lucha Libre world.
But unlike the singles title, the tag team belts seem to have vanished.

The first title holders were Irma Aguilar and Irma Gonzalez. They defeated Neftali and Satanakia in the final round of a tournament at Arena Xochimilco on August 10th, 1990.
Martha Villalobos and Pantera Surena defeated Irma Aguilar and Irma Gonzalez for the tag team belts on December 20th, 1991 in Mexico City.
Vicky Carranza and Briosa defeated Martha Villalobos and Pantera Surena for the belts on February 19th, 1994 at the Arena Xochimilco.
In an unusual move, Vicky Carranza and Briosa broke up, got different partners and the two teams faced each other on November 12th 1995 at Arena Apatlaco. Vicky teamed with La Medusa, and Briosa teamed with Neftali. Neftali and Briosa took the belts.
Then on January 19th, 1996 at Arena Xochmilco, La Rosa and La Sirenita defeated Neftali and La Broisa for the titles.
This was the last recorded defense of the belts.

The Mexican National Women's Wrestling Championship

Marcela

The Comisión de Box y Lucha Libre Mexico D.F. or the “Mexican commission of Boxing and Professional Wrestling” has recognized the Mexican National Women's Wrestling Championship since 1958.
The title has been held by most of the legends of female Lucha Libre.
Due to a ban on women's wrestling in the 50s, reigns during it's early history are hard to verify.
Isabel Romero is the first listed champion back in 1958.
Irma Gonzalez defeated Isabel Romero for the title in 1959.
After that La Jarochita Rivero, Rossy Moreno, Reyna Gallegos, La Briosa, Zuleyma, La Marquesa, Neftali, La Sirenita, La Diabolica, Martha Villalobos, Tiffany and Lady Apache all held the title at some point.

On April 27th, 2007, a fourteen woman cibernetico was held to determine the finalists for a championship. Some of the Luchadoras that took part were Diosa Maya, Atenea, La Seductora, Luna Magica, La Nazi, Princesa Blanca, Medusa, India Sioux, Rosa Negra, Sahori, Diana la Cazadora and Amapola.
When the smoke cleared Marcela took the title, defeating Princesa Sujei.

IWRG Intercontinental Women's Wrestling Championship

IWRG, Grupo Internacional Revolucion or International Wrestling Revolution Group (English version of the promotion name) is an independent Lucha Libre promotion based in Naucalpan, Mexico.
They have a women's title belt listed as being held by Amapola, but the listing doesn't appear on the IWRG website.
Close to the end of 2007, Amapola stopped wearing the belt to matches. But up until 2007, IWRG had a talent sharing agreement with CMLL. In 2007 that agreement fell apart, and that may account for why Amapola stopped wearing the belt.


The previous history of the IWRG Intercontinental Women's Wrestling Championship goes like this......

Flor Metalica, Marcela, Josseline, Ayako Hamada, La Diabolica, La Amapola, Lady Metal were involved in a Torneo Cibernetico (elimination tag-team matches) that Ayako Hamada won.
In 2003, Ayako Hamada successfully defended the belt against La Diabolica.
In 2005, Amapola evidently beat Ayako for the belt in Japan.
She defended the belt twice against Marcela in 2006 and Hiroka in 2007.
