Trivia / Kimber Lee

Go To

  • Breakup Breakout: Kimber Lee is on the Jannetty end of the breakup of the Kimber Bombs, although compared to many Jannettys she's doing fairly well for herself. Nonetheless, Cherry Bomb eventually settled into a high profile role in AEW's Women's division, while Kimber Lee settled down in Impact Wrestling. She and Annie Social are roughly equal, but Lee is bigger in the United States and Japan, Social a little more in Canada and Mexico, albeit in infamy. Heidi Lovelace is also a marginally bigger star than Lee, in that they've been used mostly the same way after breaking up but Lovelace has been on more television screens.
  • Real Song Theme Tune:
    • (in Europe): Kavinsky's "Roadgame", Sumo Cyco's "Fighter"
    • (in CZW and independents): Puscifer's "The Undertaker [Renholdër Mix]"
    • (in independents): Audioslave's "Cochise"
  • Reality Subtext: Her dancing during her match with Heidi The Riveter (Heidi Lovelace) in Olde Wrestling led to the commentators suggesting that she must have a dance background. Kimberly Frankele does have a Ballet background and has worked as a Ballet instructor away from wrestling.
  • Role-Ending Misdemeanor:
    • The closest thing anyone can find to a reason why her WWE career never took off is a story about her not looking after her roommate Tegan Nox during recovery from knee surgery, leading NXT to have to pay Kay Lee Ray to stay in Florida for several weeks after the Mae Young Classic instead. This got her in management's bad books, and she stopped being used half way through the tournament and then never showed up on NXT TV again. It should be noted that this story has been repeated a lot, but never confirmed by any wrestler around NXT at the time.
    • Attitude problems are also speculated to be the reason why she left Impact; it doesn't help that she's in denial, continuing to claim to be signed.
  • Romance on the Set: Was married to Zachary Green, who's known as Zachary Wentz (one half of Impact Wrestling's The Rascalz) and Nash Carter (one half of NXT's MSK). It ended... let's just say, messily.
  • What Could Have Been: She was originally going to team with Los Ice Creams as The New Republicnote  at King of Trios 2018 but was unable to due to committing to a tour with the Japanese promotion Stardom. Kikutaro took her place.
