Lisa made her WWF debut as one of the regularly appearing "Hos" with The Godfather. She led the "Save the Ho" campaign and was often referred to as the "Head Ho".

In January 2001 rumors started appearing almost weekly about her re-debut as the 'wrestling' Victoria. The rumors continued for what seemed like forever until she finally made a semi-debut on July 7, 2002 during a Heat broadcast where she wrestled a short match and lost to Trish Stratus.
