Victoria Vulcan

Victoria Vulcan was not her real name, but derived form Star Trek She could have done well as a pro had she chosen to do so, but only did a handful of matches for smaller Indy groups in the west. She, however, took a different road.

:I can make $20 working for some pro wrestling promotion or make $200 doing some customized match or apartment house match," she once explained.

Thus, cat fighting won out over pro wrestling.

In fact, if one looks through old Am-Fem directories from the 1980s, one will find her old ads for custom tapes, from her post office box in Peoria, west of Phoenix. Some of these most surely are still circulating or in private libraries in the USA, while tapes of her pro matches in a rig seem hard to find, if not impossible. 

Vulcan remains an enigmatic figure within the pro ranks and is probably remembered only by a handful of people though in the cat fight/mixed match/apartment wrestling cycles she would be more prominent.

Vulcan died in 2009 from some form of cancer, though she would have only been in her 40s.

The wrestling world, sheet writers and magazines made absolutely no mention of her passing.
