Lita (born Amy Christine Dumas on April 14, 1975, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida) is a professional wrestler that has worked in WWE and (for a small time) ECW. She got her start managing the HardyBoyz and eventually used that to branch into a singles career where she took female wrestling by storm with her high-flying wrestling. She also gave Edge the biggest push of his career by cheating on Matt Hardy with him in Real Life.Currently, Lita is one of the band members of The Luchagores.That Other Wiki has more to say.
To make it even more humiliating for her opponents, it was a Bra and Panties match and she hadn't lost any clothing.
Big Damn Heroes: In 2003, the team of then-WWE Women's ChampionMolly Holly and Gail Kim had beaten everyone else in the division and were dead set on ending the career of Trish Stratus. With Eric Bischoff's support, they were about to succeed, but then Lita unexpectedly returned to Raw and made the save.
Before that, in ECW, she was Miss Congeniality, the valet for "Dastardly" Danny Doring and "The Angry Amish Warrior" Roadkill until Sabu put her through a table to send her to WWE.
Fun with Acronyms: Along with ADORE, her autobiography was titled Lita: A Less Traveled R.O.A.D- The Reality of Amy Dumas.
Gimmick Matches: Was in the first (and to this day only) women's steel cage match in WWE. Has also been involved in street fights and TLC matches even if she wasn't a participant. And of course she's done a couple of Bra & Panties matches in her time.
After failing to win the women's title Mickie James was inexplicably forced to compete in a series of gimmick matches stacked in Lita's favor. Hands tied, feet shackled, blindfolded...
Girls Need Role Models: One of the reasons she refused to pose for Playboy is because she was a role model for so many young girls.
Hypocrite: Then, after her heel turn, on the Raw after Edge had defeated WWE ChampionJohn Cena at New Year's Revolution in 1:46 by cashing in his Money In The Bank title shot AFTER Cena had just survived the Elimination Chambernote Thus establishing the pattern for how future MITB holders, except Rob Van Dam, would successfully cash in their shots, she showed some uncensored nipple during her Live Sex Celebration with Edge.
Heroes Want Redheads: So do villains (Kane, Edge.) Take a look at the amount of Kayfabe love interests she's had.
I Know Judo: Moreso after she returned from the neck injury. She actually did competitive judo before getting into pro wrestling.
Irony: The woman everybody derided as a slut in 2005 (and in Kayfabe in 2006) for one romantic indiscretion, was one of the few Divas WWE contacted about returning for the WrestleMania XXV Divas battle royal who refused to take part in the indignity of that event.note She may have had a point, since the match was won by "Santina Marella" (Santino playing his own "sister" in drag).
Ms. Fanservice: Yes, she was also more than this, but, she was good at this too.
No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: After being taunted for losing her baby, Lita unleashed one on Trish Stratus. She'd do so again at Survivor Series where Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler grew extremely concerned not just with how vicious the beating on Trish was, but what Lita put herself through to cause more damage, ending in an attack that could have broken her own neck, again.
Panty Shot: Her pants during the Attitude Era were rather low slung and displayed her thong.
Romance on the Set: With CM Punk in 2008-10. Since 2012, they've been making public appearances together again. And before that the infamous Matt Hardy/Edge triangle.
Signature Move: Aside from finishers above, the Litacanrana.
Slut Shaming: Initially, WWE was going to keep the Matt-Lita-Edge stuff behind closed doors. Unfortunately, it hit the dirtsheets and RAW was going to be in heavily-smarky Madison Square Garden. Sure enough, babyface Lita was greeted with chants of "YOU SCREWED MATT" and "SLUT", despite Trish (playing the heel) doing her best to deflect the heat off Lita. Reportedly, Lita was in tears after the segment, but soon found the best way to deal with her massive heat: turn heel on-screen in similar fashion.
Take That Kiss: Trish called Lita the "Walking Kiss of Death" (because Lita appeared on Dark Angel right before it was cancelled), no point for guessing what happened next.
The Unfair Sex: Inverted. Matt wasn't seen as impotent because Lita strayed, Edge wasn't condemned because he couldn't say no to a hot woman wanting him, instead she was treated as a monster, turned heel, and eventually had to retire because of the hatred from the fans, who had loved her for FIVE YEARS.
And again during her lost baby angle: some male wrestlers were never as vicious and brutal as she was when Trish taunted her.
Took a Level in Jerkass: After her affair with Edge she was forced to turn heel and acted like the fans treated her...in other words really bad, skanky and evil.
Unkempt Beauty: Most of the time she wore pants and a tank top. Subverted occasionally.
You Go Girl: Competed occasionally in various intergender matches and very often got involved in others by performing either a moonsault or Litacanrana on men.
