* CreatorsFavorite: TNA kept her on with a high salary, largely due to how well her ''Playboy'' cover sold. Notably in 2010, when several wrestlers such as Wrestling/AwesomeKong, Wrestling/{{ODB}} and [[Wrestling/LisaMarieVaron Tara]] left due to being underpaid (though Tara later returned), Christy was being paid six figures.

** Although Carmella [=DeCesare=] was despised by the other Diva Search contestants, Christy was the one person she got along with. This was reflected in the former's 'Diss the Diva' promo - she insulted Amy and Joy but told Christy "I hope you win, honey."
** In heavy contrast to their on-screen rivalry, Christy was close friends with Melina and loved working with her.
* PopCultureUrbanLegends: A long standing rumor about her release in late 2005 from WWE was that she was apparently getting too close to Triple H backstage and Stephanie [=McMahon=] disapproved of it. Another rumor was that she found the schedule too tough - and TNA's was easier for her. A 2008 interview in TNA has her saying the following:

** Lita and Trish Stratus were set to have a feud all the way to ''Wrestling/WrestleMania 21''. But Lita tore her ACL quite severely at ''New Year's Revolution'', and Christy's ''Playboy'' cover led to her getting chosen to have a match with Trish at the event.

** Her promo about women in wrestling at TNA's ''Final Resolution'' 2007 was originally meant for {{Wrestling/Chyna}}. A schedule conflict meant she couldn't make the event, and Vince Russo had already written it, so it was given to Christy instead. She's also said that it wasn't intended as a heel promo but, as she was still "broken" from her WWE departure, it came across as heelish and they took the character in that direction.

* CreatorBreakdown: She admits that her release from WWE was so sudden that it "broke" her, and left her in a dark place it took her years to come out of; even with going to TNA and continuing her career.

* ThrowItIn:
** The "cum-burping gutter slut" comment from her Diss the Diva segment was something she improvised, having been used to exchanging ridiculous insults in her time in dancers' locker rooms. She had no idea it was going to be bleeped out
** The 'FFG' name for her TNA finisher was a joke she came up with and never intended for it to be the official name. Mike Tenay overheard her say it in a bar the night before and started saying it on television, despite her protests.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** She has said that, if she didn't win the Diva Search, she still would have lobbied to be in the business anyway.
** Apparently, the higher-ups in WWE didn't want her to learn how to wrestle, and she was learning on her own time from whoever she could get help from backstage. It wasn't until she got her ''Playboy'' cover that they decided to put her in the ring.
** Her match against Trish Stratus at ''Wrestling/WrestleMania 21'' was going to be ten minutes long, and they'd carefully planned out the spots to work around Christy's inexperience. Literally right before her entrance, Vince told her it was being cut down to six minutes and "Trish will call it to you in the ring". She's also said that there was talk of her winning the title but she refused, saying she was still too green.

--> “My departure from WWE was on my own terms because I stuck to my guns on my morals and values as a human being. I knew in my gut that it would be the end, but I also knew that carrying guilt for knowingly doing something against what I believed wasn’t worth getting ahead. Leaving broke my heart… but doing the right thing is something I will always be proud of.”

Money Dear Boy is when someone publicly admits that they did a work solely for the money (as opposed to other reasons like loving what they're doing), it's not just "someone got paid a lot". Plus, this is already listed on X Pac Heat on the Trivia tab.


* MoneyDearBoy: There was a minor outrage in 2010 when it was announced that she had renewed her contract for $150,000 per annum just as a ring announcer. The outrage was because both Tara and Amazing Kong left TNA due to low pay, and Gail Kim had done so two years previously.
