History Trivia / Ivory

** She was not a fan of doing matches with Wrestling/FabulousMoolah or Wrestling/MaeYoung, due to how much slower they were in-ring than what she was comfortable with and how she was nervous of possibly injuring them. Despite that, she did get along with them great backstage, and they even gave her some advice on working matches.

* AwesomeDearBoy: Ivory recalls Stephanie [=McMahon=] being "very tentative" when she asked if she wanted to be part of the Right to Censor - assuming none of the Divas would want to do it. Ivory however jumped at the chance, as she loved the idea. She loved having the audience boo her that much.

* {{Corpsing}}: Apparently she would often have to work hard to keep a straight face during the Right to Censor gimmick.

** In a shoot interview she expressed disappointment at an AbortedArc in 2003. She underwent a HeelFaceTurn and was slowly built up as a possible contender to Jazz's title. She picked up three non-title victories over Jazz, and then the latter got injured and Wrestling/GailKim won the title in her debut. Ivory says she was looking forward to having "a last hurrah" as a {{Face}} before hanging up the boots.

** Played with when it comes to her 'match' with Chyna at Wrestlemania X-Seven. She didn't mind it being a SquashMatch - finding that was necessary for her character to get that kind of comeuppance. However Chyna pinned her by lying on top of her back "like a Playboy spread", which enraged her and she was tempted to kick out and force Chyna to cover her the right way. Stone Cold apparently felt the same way when he saw it.

** With regards to the PR she did for ''Wrestling/WrestleMania 2000'', she said it would have been lots of fun "except I had to do it with Bradshaw" - describing him as an insecure bully.

** Subverted with Jacqueline. Ivory initially thought she had done something to offend her, based off how stiff she was in the ring to her. She later realised that was just how Jackie worked.
** Mildly with {{Wrestling/Lita}}, who she found difficult to work with - describing her as very limited and unwilling to improve. As a result, their matches "had to fit into this little box". There was also drama backstage after a match where Lita got a nasty cut supposedly from Ivory's boot catching her above the eye. She also disapproved of Lita leaving behind some of the numerous presents she'd get from young fans (she'd reportedly get so many, she wouldn't be able to carry them all).

** On the June 28, 1999 ''Raw,'' she threw out an open challenge and Malia Hosaka, formerly of the [=LPWA=] and WCW, ran in and Ivory beat her up without her being identified. People online either recognized her from her WCW appearances or started asking about her. Unfortunately, this meant that WWE's idea for her, a kind of [[Franchise/{{Rocky}} "Rocky Balboa"]] underdog nobody coming out of nowhere to face the Champion, had to be abandoned. Hosaka basically sat at home under contract while WWE tried to come up with a new gimmick/character for her. They considered bringing her in as "Aphrodisia" as the valet for [[Characters/WWEAttitude Essa Rios]], but instead they released Hosaka and gave the character, renamed "Lita," to Amy Dumas. You know the rest.

* DoingItForTheArt: When she joined WWE, she had ring rust and trained on her days off to get rid of it.

* OldShame:
** Averted with ''GLOW''. She has fond memories of it and is happy to have got her start there. She happily took part in reunions and the documentary.
** Her least favourite storyline was when The Kat was forced into the Right to Censor, mostly because she didn't like the fact that she had to [[FauxActionGirl pretend to be afraid of her]].

* BreakupBreakout: From her Wrestling/{{GLOW}} TagTeam [=T&A=] and from [=GLOW=] in general.

There was also drama backstage after a match where Lita got a nasty cut supposedly from Ivory's boot catching her above the eye.

* PlayingAgainstType: The Ivory character was her first real chance playing a heel. Tina Ferrari had been a {{Face}} in ''GLOW''.

** She never liked doing ''Wrestling/WWEToughEnough'' and joked that there would always be bad luck backstage whenever she returned from taping it.

* ActorAllusion: Ivory was a reluctant participant in the Miss Rumble swimsuit contest. Behind the scenes she claimed to hate the various bikini shoots the Divas did. Or rather she didn't feel she was suited to modelling bikinis.
* OldShame: Averted with ''GLOW'', which she has fond memories of. But played straight with a lot of the T&A matches she had to do. She wasn't fond of The Kat being brought into the RTC storyline.

* RomanceOnTheSet: She had an offscreen relationship with [[Wrestling/TheHurricane Shane "Hurricane" Helms]] after he arrived in [=WWE=] in 2001 from [=WCW=]. Years later, she claimed that Wrestling/RickySteamboat had attempted to court her, but she politely turned him down for a date to meet up with old friends from her GLOW years.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Apparently, WWE at one point in 1999 had wanted her to do a lesbian angle with [[BrawnHilda Nicole Bass]], a giant female bodybuilder best known for her appearances on ''Radio/TheHowardSternShow'', who was Ivory's bodyguard at the time. Bass later unsuccessfully sued WWE charging sexual harassment and abuse, which included Ivory and Jacqueline testifying on WWE's behalf. Ivory said about the rejected idea, "I told them I don't have anything against lesbians, but I don't want to be a lesbian on TV, especially if Nicole is going to be my girlfriend."
