Vickie Otis, better known by her ring name Princess Victoria, is a retired professional wrestler.
Career
Otis was trained in Portland, Oregon by Sandy Barr.[1][2] She feuded with another of Barr's trainees, Velvet McIntyre. The two women competed against each other in singles and tag team matches in Vancouver All Star Wrestling.
National Wrestling Alliance
Both women continued their feud while working for NWA Pacific Northwest under promoter Don Owen. They eventually ended their feud and formed a tag team. The duo won the NWA Women's Tag Team Championship on May 13, 1984 in Calgary.[3]
World Wrestling Federation
In 1983, the World Wrestling Federation withdrew from the National Wrestling Alliance, and when McIntyre and Victoria rejoined the promotion in 1984, they were immediately recognized as holding the WWF Women's Tag Team Championship. The duo defended the championship against the team of Wendi Richter and Peggy Lee.[3] Desiree Petersen later replaced Victoria in the team when Victoria left the WWF to retire from professional wrestling.
While in the WWF, she also wrestled in singles matches as a challenger against WWF Women's Champion The Fabulous Moolah.
Retirement
Otis is retired from professional wrestling and now resides in Virginia.
