* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Ivory saving Trish Stratus from an attack at Victoria's hands. This was just after Trish had retained her title, Ivory had shaken her hand in respect and it looked very much like a veteran star from the Attitude Era giving her blessing to a new one. Made even more heartwarming when Ivory started getting wins over Jazz. Two of them were in matches where Trish was her partner. Rather than resenting that Ivory was beating her rival, she was happy for her and supported her entirely.

** The year is 2000, the new Millennium hasn't destroyed civilization, non-wrestler Stephanie [=McMahon=] is Women's Champion and Ivory is just trying to get a three minute match. The year is 2015 and Vince [=McMahon=] is responding on Twitter to fans posting "give Divas a chance" in protest of them not getting so much as a three minute match. At least the belt is held by a wrestler in the future, but don't let anyone tell you progress isn't slow on the national wrestling scene.

* FridgeBrilliance: In re Ivory trying to wash Tori's mouth out with soap during their hardcore WWE Women's Title Match: Her name is ''Ivory'', after all.

Perkins posted a list of [[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.sport.pro-wrestling/FNMd5qeLNXM/uMr1XT6lkZMJ "TOP 100 DUMBEST RSPW GAGS"]] to the Website/{{Usenet}} newsgroup rec.sport.pro-wrestling. "Ivory is a lesbian" was ranked #81, just one above "Wrestling/{{Chyna}} is a man."

I don't think we should be justifying forms of abuse based around the victims' previous careers. Not to mention that's real life, and this is related to the wrestling character only


* JerkassHasAPoint: Given that it took her over a decade to get to WWE, it's understandable that she should resent having to train a bunch of strippers/models/bimbos/whatever who know nothing about wrestling or WWE. (Remember that stupid skit where they had to seduce Wrestling/{{Kamala}} and none of them know who he was?)

Ivory joining Right To Censor after repeatedly objecting to the T&A of the Women's Division is actually a perfectly logical progression. It was just a shock because the group had been all guys to that point.


** Her protests against the T&A in 1999 became hilarious when she joined the Right to Censor months later.

I put it here because this was a fan reaction example, not something that ever happened in Canon.

* GrowingTheBeard: It wasn't until her time in Right to Censor that Ivory really hit her stride as the monster heel of the women's division. With more time for promos, actual feuds and more matches, it helped make her a memorable part of the Attitude Era.

* EvilIsCool: Ivory is beloved for being quite the badass DarkActionGirl.



* LoveToHate: Her time in the Right to Censor. It was probably the most effective she ever was as a top heel in the women's division. And although her AlphaBitch persona wasn't developed much, fans still love that part of her too.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: In 2003 Ivory made a HeelFaceTurn for the first proper time in her WWE run (she had been a face as Tina Ferrari in ''{{Wrestling/GLOW}}'') and picked up three wins over Jazz. They were clearly building towards a program between them for the Women's Championship. The two had never really wrestled before, due to both being heels, and it would have allowed someone other than Trish Stratus to take the top face spot for a while. Then suddenly Jazz gets injured, Wrestling/GailKim is awarded the title in her debut, buried five weeks later in favour of Wrestling/MollyHolly - and Ivory gets DemotedToExtra. In her shoot interview, she expressed disappointment that it didn't play out.

Maybe I\'m being pedant, but I don\'t think Arab and Muslim should be used as synonyms.
