Back in 2004, Victoria and Lita faced off in a steel cage match on RAW. This was the first time in WWE history that two women had competed in a steel cage match.
Victoria was recently a guest on Lilian Garcia’s podcast, ‘Chasing Glory’, where she discussed the cage match.
During the interview, she revealed what Vince McMahon told her when she asked to bleed during the match.
Here is what she said (h/t to 411Mania for the transcription):
“I don’t know if this is spilling the beans too much, but I asked to gig, which means cutting yourself in the forehead, I wanted to bleed, and I went to Vince. Oh, Fit goes, ‘I went to Vince, he said no.’ And I go, let me go talk to him, not that I have pull. So I talked to Vince and he goes, ‘Victoria, I appreciate what you want to do, but nobody wants to see a Diva bleed.’ He goes, ‘No.’ So I told Lita, ‘Throw me as hard as you can in that frickin’ steel cage.’ I go, ‘I’m going to cut myself, myself.’ But I didn’t know how to do it. So she threw me, boom, and you’re supposed to scrape down, but I just went, bump, and I was just like going, let me show my face, I just got a bump. All that frickin’, that was it. And then my outfit too was falling off, my panties were showing, so I was distracted by that, but it’s very flattering to get those unusual matches that we got because they knew we can carry it. It was a pat on the back, if anybody could pull it off.”
