History Wrestling / Lita

* BigDamnHeroes: In 2003, the team of then-[[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwf-wm.html WWE Women's Champion]] Wrestling/MollyHolly and Wrestling/GailKim had beaten everyone else in the division and were dead set on ending the career of Trish Stratus. With Wrestling/Eric Bischoff's support, they were about to succeed, but then Lita unexpectedly returned to Raw and made the save.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Take a look at the amount of Kayfabe love interests she's had.

* LovelyAngels: With TrishStratus in 2003 and early 2004.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: After being taunted for losing her baby Lita unleashed one on TrishStratus. She'd do so again at SurvivorSeries where JimRoss and JerryLawler 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.

** Before that, in Wrestling/{{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.

'''Lita''' (born Amy Christine Dumas on April 14, 1975, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida) is a [[ProfessionalWrestling professional wrestler]] that has worked in Wrestling/{{WWE}} and (for a small time) {{ECW}}. She got her start managing the [[Wrestling/MattHardy Hardy]] [[Wrestling/JeffHardy Boyz]] 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 Wrestling/{{Edge}} the biggest push of his career by cheating on Wrestling/MattHardy with him in RealLife.

** {{Hypocrite}}: Then, after her heel turn, on the Raw after Edge had defeated [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-h.html WWE World Heavyweight Champion]] Wrestling/JohnCena 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 Chamber[[note]]Thus establishing the pattern for how future [=MITB=] holders would cash in their shots[[/note]], she showed some uncensored nipple during her Live Sex Celebration with Edge.

* [[IKnowKarate I Know Judo]]

* GirlsNeedRoleModels: One of the reasons she refused to pose for Magazine/''Playboy'' is because she was a role model for so many young girls.

* {{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 [[Wrestling/SantinoMarella "Santina Marella" (Santino playing his own "sister" in drag)]]).[[/note]]

* RomanceOnTheSet: With Wrestling/CMPunk in 2008-10. Since 2012, they've been making public appearances together again. And before that the infamous MattHardy[=/=]Wrestling/{{Edge{{ triangle.

* ArchEnemy: TrishStratus. Subverted as of Raw's 15th anniversary.

With {{Wrestling/Eric Bischoff}}'s support, they were about to succeed, but then Lita unexpectedly returned to Raw and made the save.

* FinishingMove: The Litasault and the Twist of Fate, latter of which was turned in for a leg-swinging snap DDT and {{Edge}}'s [[RammingAlwaysWorks Spear]].

* GirlsNeedRoleModels: One of the reasons she refused to pose for ''Playboy'' is because she was a role model for so many young girls.

* TheLadette: When she was with {{Edge}}.

* LoveTriangle: MattHardy-Lita-JeffHardy in late 2001, Matt Hardy-Lita-Wrestler/{{Kane}} in 2004, Kane-Lita-Edge in 2005.

* NippleAndDimed: Showed some uncensored nipple during her Live Sex Celebration with Edge.

* OneOfTheBoys: Non-{{Kayfabe}}, the [[StoneColdSteveAustin Two Man]] [[TripleH Power Trip]] gave her a beating no less brutal than one they'd deliver to a guy.

* RomanceOnTheSet: With CMPunk in 2008-10. Since 2012, they've been making public appearances together again. And before that the infamous MattHardy/Wrestling/Edge triangle.

* TakeThatKiss: Trish called Lita the "Walking KissOfDeath" (because Lita appeared on ''DarkAngel'' right before it was cancelled), no point for guessing what happened next.

* TheUnfairSex: 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.

* TookALevelInBadass: Once she split as Essa Rios' valet, watching Lita was like watching [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy Summers,]] [[Series/{{Alias}} Sydney Bristow]] or [[TombRaider Lara Croft]] in the ring.

* TheUnfairSex: Completely, totally, utterly 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 CompleteMonster, turned heel, and eventually had to retire because of the hatred from the fans.

* SlutShaming: Initially, WWE was going to keep the Matt-Lita-Edge stuff behind closed doors. Unfortunately, it hit the dirtsheets and RAW was soon 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.

* GirlShowGhetto: One of the examples that broke out of it. She became insanely popular during her rookie year and main evented Raw several times. Her match with TrishStratus earned a 3.4 in the ratings, falling in line with the show average. She is now fondly remembered along with Trish as most male fans' favourite Divas. According to many other Divas she would receive so many presents from fans at shows she'd have to leave a few of them behind because she wasn't able to carry all of them.
