An intimate look at WWE diva Victoria

Lisa Marie Varon has no reason to be shy. She’s muscular and she’s beautiful.

But the WWE diva known as Victoria still is a bit antsy about stripping down to just her bra and panties in the middle of a WWE ring — in front of millions of people.

Especially if a piece of the undergarments starts to fall off.

“(At WWE’s Homecoming, the three-hour show two Mondays ago), in the bra and panties match, I had a bra malfunction,” she said. “The clasp ripped from the seam. When I landed on my neck, my hands weren’t down (to help the fall).

“I was freaking out. I told the camera guy that my bra was broken and he was winking at me.

“I’m not comfortable standing there in my bra and panties. I have to remember my niece and nephew are watching. But I’m not one to say no.”

With a parade of WWE beauties shedding their clothes for Playboy, Victoria would be a natural. She’s just not sure she’d do it.

“I’m insulted that I haven’t been asked,” she said with a laugh. “Hugh Hefner doesn’t know what he’s missing under these clothes.”

Victoria’s character has changed a few times in WWE — from one of The Godfather’s hos to a demented, sadistic woman to a fan favourite to a badass.

“When I was good, I wasn’t really into it,” she said. “I really loved it when I was psycho, devious and a bit maniacal.

“Now I’m with Torrie and Candice. I guess I’m the Spice Girl of the bunch. It’s really opposite to the way I am outside of the ring. But when I get in there, I try and pump myself up, tell myself that those are my enemies.

“I really like the wrestling aspect. Ricky Steamboat and Dusty Rhodes tell us we work like men. I think I was made to wrestle. It wasn’t anything I dreamed of being, but with my gymnastics and dance background, I picked it up quickly. I want the fans to be entertained. I want to show them we’re more than T and A.”

Great T and A. Great wrestling ability. And a great gal.
