6	Kristina Laum (born November 23, 1976) is a retired ProfessionalWrestling valet known for her time in Wrestling/{{ECW}} in 1996 as Kimona Wanalaya and in Wrestling/{{WCW}} in 1999-2000 as Leia Meow. As Kimona, she was the [[HeelFaceTurn Face-turned]] Wrestling/{{Beulah McGillicutty}}'s replacement in Wrestling/{{Raven}}'s Nest. (See EstablishingCharacterMoment below). After leaving following ''ECW Hardcore Heaven 96'', she worked for a time for Jersey All Pro Wrestling but otherwise disappeared until ''WCW [=Starrcade=] 99'', when she was revealed to be the cheerleader for the reunited Wrestling/TheVarsityClub (Wrestling/KevinSullivan, Rick Steiner and Wrestling/MikeRotunda). After that ended, she worked as the valet for Jung Dragons (Kaz Hayashi, Yang and Jamiesan). She retired after Wrestling/{{WWE}} did not pick up her contract after buying WCW in 2001.

8	!! "Kimona Wana-trope-ya":
9	* DarkActionGirl[=/=]TookALevelInBadass: You wouldn't expect a stripper-turned-valet to be able to pull off a dive off the apron, but she did.
10	* {{Dominatrix}}: As a member of the Jung Dragons.
11	* EstablishingCharacterMoment[=/=]GirlOnGirlIsHot[=/=]SexFaceTurn: At ''ECW Hostile City Showdown 96'', April 20, 1996, Wrestling/ShaneDouglas told Wrestling/TommyDreamer that Beulah was cheating on him and that she had lied to him and to [=Raven=] about being pregnant. Dreamer said, "Who is he?" Shane said, "It's not a 'he,' Tommy Dreamer." Kimona, who had replaced Beulah in Raven's Nest barely three months earlier, said, "It's me!" She and Beulah then kissed until Dreamer separated them. He then told Wrestling/JoeyStyles, "I'll take them both, I'm hardcore!" and all three kissed at once.
12	** Although Kimona remained a face and allied with Tommy for the rest of her run, the lesbian angle was soon abandoned since Beulah objected backstage to having to portray a lesbian.
13	* GroinAttack: To whoever Sullivan set up in the Tree of Woe.
14	* MsFanservice: From her name on down, her whole act was about sexuality. Raven discovered her working at a strip club where he had a side gig as a DJ.
15	* PowerStable:
16	** (in ECW): Wrestling/RavensNest
17	** (in NWA Jersey): Hot Stuff International
18	** (in WCW): The Varsity Club.
19	* PunnyName: Both of them. Kimona Wanalaya was a play-on-words for "Come on, I wanna lay ya", and Leia Meow was the name she had while being the ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}-like {{Dominatrix}} manager of the Jung Dragons.
20	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Her last appearance in ECW was at ''Hardcore Heaven'' 96, June 22, 1996. The ring had collapsed following the Dreamer-Brian Lee weapons match, so, in order to give the crew some time to fix it for the Wrestling/{{Sabu}} vs. Wrestling/RobVanDam match, Wrestling/PaulHeyman sent her up to the stage to do a [[YouCanLeaveYourHatOn strip dance]] wearing only a teddy and a towel. Heyman told her it wouldn't be taped - and then he taped it and released it on the ''Extreme Warfare Volume 2'' [=VHS=] tape. She left ECW after that.
21	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Well, she ''had'' been a stripper, and she didn't wear a whole lot.
22	* ToplessnessFromTheBack: Once during a Raven promo in ECW, she took off her jacket with her back to the camera, showing she had nothing on underneath.
