Everyone has to start somewhere. There have been a lot of wrestlers to come through the WWE locker room over the years but only a few have stood out at the highest level. Those are the names that are remembered in a fond way for a long time to come, but even they might not have had the best time in the company. One such legend is talking about how badly things went for her at first. During an interview with NBC Sports Boston, WWE legend Victoria spoke about her beginnings with the company. Victoria began with WWE as one of Godfather’s Ho’s, despite having signed a full time contract with the company.

"The Big Dog" feels that his match with The Undertaker did not quite live up to its expectations. The main-event of WrestleMania 33 saw Roman Reigns take on The Undertaker. The match has been negatively critiqued by many and is not regarded as being a memorable outside of the closing moments where it appeared that "The Deadman" was giving his farewell to the wrestling world.
