History Wrestling / Lita

* CoolTeacher: Ricky Santana, Ace Steel, Wrestling/DoryFunkJr, Kevin Quinn (Christopher Daniels's International Male tag team partner)...she had quite a few. The Hardy Boys also offered.

* TookALevelInJerkass: 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.

She made her debut in the WWF managing Essa Rios, but after he attacked her, she switched her allegiance to 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. She eventually became a four time WWE women's champion, and in 2014 was inducted into WWE's Hall of Fame.

* IHaveTheHighGround: Usually to hit a moonsault, sometimes just to pose for the fans

* AbsoluteCleavage: [[EvilIsSexy When she turned heel]], more and more of her outfits displayed this.

* MsFanservice: Yes, she was also ''more'' than this, but, she was good at this too.

* SheCleansUpNicely: When she was going to marry Edge, with AbsoluteCleavage to boot.

* PantyShot: Her pants during the Attitude Era were rather low slung and displayed her thong.

* WhoWearsShortShorts: When she returned in 2003 she started wearing these. Also wore them during her Miss Congeniality days.

* TheVamp: {{Subverted| trope}}, Edge tried to offer her services to get favors from other wrestlers but it only ever worked on one guy: Snitsky, who they clearly strung along using his foot fetish.

* TheVamp: {{Subverted| trope}}, Edge tried to offer her services to get favors from other wrestlers but it only ever worked on one guy: Snitsky, who they clearly strung along due to a particular FootFetish.

* TheVamp: {{Subverted| trope}}, Edge tried to offer her services to get favors from other wrestlers but it never worked.

* ClusterFBomb: The chorus of her "[=LoveFuryEnergyAndPassion=]" theme included the repeated lyric "So fuck your rules, man/So fuck your rules, man!" While the song was edited to play a sound of static over the actual F-bomb, it was still abundantly clear what was being said. Somehow, this was regularly played on WWE TV without anyone noticing.

* ClusterFBomb: The chorus of her "[=LoveFuryEnergyAndPassion=]" theme included the repeated lyric "So fuck your rules, man/So fuck your rules, man!" Somehow, this was regularly played on WWE TV without anyone noticing.

* TheLadette: When she was with Team Xtreme and latter, Wrestling/{{Edge}}. You could say her entire WWE career that wasn't spent behind the announce table.

* YourCheatingHeart: The most infamous example in professional wrestling history, in RealLife with Edge, behind boyfriend Matt Hardy's back. According to Matt, however, they reconciled in less than a year and made attempts to get back together before realizing it wasn't going to work out.

* EvilRedhead[=/=]FieryRedhead: Evil at the start since she and Rios were tweeners at best. Fiery later (what with the theme song [=FuryEnergyAndPassion=]) then evil after she turned on Kane for Edge. She is a natural brunette who has had her hair dyed red for her WWE career. On the indies, natural redhead April Hunter sometimes served as her evil {{foil}}.

* TheLadette: When she was with Team X-tream and latter, Wrestling/{{Edge}}. You could say her entire WWE career that wasn't spent behind the announce table.

* TheRival: While she had more high profile feuds with Trish and even Mickie James, Lita's most faced opponent in WWE was Molly Holly. The two even teamed up occasionally during Molly's superhero phase with [[Wrestling/GregoryHelms The Hurricane]].
* TheUnfairSex: Inverted. Matt being seen as impotent because Lita strayed, or Edge being condemned because he couldn't say no to a hot woman wanting him, only happened sparingly compared to how 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. The reactions did gain some parity over time, but not until the Diva's descent since her retirement and Matt's personal meltdown kicked in.
* TheVamp: {{Subverted| trope}}, Edge tried to offer her services to get favors from other wrestlers but it never worked.

** MickieJames had no problem resorting to using this against her when they feuded during one of the [[GimmickMatches unfair matches]] mentioned above.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: From a mostly {{kayfabe}} standpoint, she and Edge incidentally set the course for the Hardy brothers' tumultuous path that eventually culminated in [[Wrestling/{{TNA}} Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Nero]]. You're welcome.

* BreakupBreakout
** She was once a valet for Essa Rios. Rios is now a largely forgotten wrestler while Lita is currently immortalized in the WWE Hall of Fame.
** Before that, in Wrestling/{{ECW}}, Miss Congeniality was the valet for "Dastardly" Danny Doring and "The Angry Amish Warrior" Roadkill until Wrestling/{{Sabu}} put her through a table to send her to WWE.
** And somewhere in between she was one of the Godfather's hoes.

* CoolTeacher: Ricky Santana, Ace Steel, Dory Funk Jr. Kevin Quinn (Christopher Daniels's International Male tag team partner)...she had quite a few. The Hardy Boys also offered.

%%* FragileSpeedster: First to use the WaifFu style in WWE.

** 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]]

'''Lita''' (born Amy Christine Dumas on April 14, 1975, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida) is a retired {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er. She traveled in Mexico to learn the sport and debuted as a manager in [[Wrestling/{{CMLL}} EMLL]] before working Maryland MCW and various Wrestling/{{N|ational Wrestling Alliance}}WA promotions, managing Skull Von Krush and Wrestling/ChristopherDaniels as Angelica, and former affiliate Wrestling/{{ECW}} as Miss Congeniality. Lita's the best known name she has wrestled under, though, starting in Wrestling/{{WWE}} from 2000-2006.

* BleachedUnderpants: She ''may'' have done a match for competitive woman's fetish wrestling company Danube Women's Wrestling under the name Barbara. That is to say, there's a videoclip floating around of a redheaded woman with Lita's general build, but it's too low-res to make out facial features and say for sure. But although the match was pretty tame by DWW's standards,[[note]]DWW produces content ranging from PG13 to XXX; this match was PG13[[/note]] it's not the sort of thing that looks good on a resume, or that WWE would want known. Either way, neither the match nor Barbara are anywhere to be found on DWW's website.

Not to be confused with [[Wrestling/AllJapanWomensProWrestling Lita Marez]]. ThatOtherWiki has [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Dumas more]] to say.

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

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: She and Edge incidentally set the course for the Hardy brothers' tumultuous path that eventually culminated in Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Nero. You're welcome.

* WardrobeMalfunction: One of the most bizarre cases ever - she tried to strip her top off and [[InvertedTrope failed]].

!!! "[=I know when I get you alone, there's gonna be a trope list=]"
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Wrestling/DeanMalenko, whom Lita only paid attention to because she wanted his light heavyweight championship, but was unable to take it from him.

* BlackComedyRape: Actually, the WWE [[DudeNotFunny would probably prefer it]] if fans forgot how it went down with Kane.

-->'''Jim Ross''': Lita, losing her meal ticket.
-->'''Jerry Lawler''': Lita's losing her pants.
* CombinationAttack: Her and Wrestling/JerryLynn performing a double suplex on Christy Hemme and Wrestling/{{Austin| Aries}} Starr in the United Wrestling Federation.

* MentorArchetype: To Christy Hemme, though she has less success than Lita and was mainly trained to fight Trish or April Hunter when Lita was unable to herself.
