Professional wrestling career
[edit]California and AAA
[edit]Moreno debuted as Victoria Starr, after being trained by Billy Anderson and Jesse Hernandez. She began wrestling as Lady Victoria three months into her career. She first performed in Tijuana in late 1993, where she was first introduced to the Lucha Libre style of wrestling. Having found this style closer to home, she began training and performing Lucha Libre at the All Nations Center in Los Angeles and the Boys and Girls Club in Pomona Valley for Sergio Garcia.
She then worked for the AAA promotion in Baja California in 1995,[2] Lady Victoria grew her fan base by performing all over the United States independent shows for various companies in American style wrestling. At his time she had first comic book published by Pin & Ink, ThunderGirls Series titled “Lady Victoria vs. Queen of the Vampires”.[1] She also worked for the Professional Girl Wrestling Association (PGWA) out of North Carolina.
Lady Victoria’s first major television debut was with AAA, where some of her biggest feuds were with Miss Janeth. Lady Victoria was introduced at the Triplemanía IV-A main event in Orizaba, Veracruz on July 15, 1996 as the valet and Manager to Máscara Sagrada while Miss Janeth was valet and manager to Killers.[3] Later that night, her right hand was fractured which limited her performance for the next three to four months. During this time, Pierroth, Jr. was suspended for powerbombing Lady Victoria.[4][5] She then also starting wrestling as both Lady Victoria and masked as Chiquitibum (pronounced – chi-qi-ti-boom).[5] She feuded with Zuleyma (Miss Janeth’s older sister), Miss Janeth, and La Briosa. She also occasionally teamed with La Sirenita and Princesa Apache.

Shortly after leaving AAA, Lady Victoria was invited to Promo Azteca where she managed and acted as a valet to El Hijo del Diablo and occasionally the tag team of Damian 666 and Halloween.[6] Being the only woman wrestler/manager in the company, she was elected to start a Women’s Division, which got under way with few Luchadoras and several “Indy” promotions to ready for television, which led her to continue performing with IWRG as Alondra and CMLL/EMLL as Lady Victoria.
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre
[edit]In Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (EMLL), Lady Victoria feuded with La Diabólica, Infernal, and La Amapola. She also partnered with Lady Apache and Princessa Blanca. Then, as Lady Victoria was so over from being El Hijo del Diablo’s valet prior in Promo Aztecas, they began to partner her with La Diabolica against Lady Apache and Princessa Blanca.
La Familia de Tijuana

La Familia also began their stint in XPW in 2001. Lady Victoria accompanied La Familia to Xtreme Pro Wrestling (XPW), where they were known as Mexico’s Most Wanted (MMW), in 2001.[7][8][9] She performed with Damien and Halloween not only as a manager, but participated in six man tag matches.
