1* AudienceAlienatingEra: An unbelievably silly storyline where Brooke feuded with Madison Rayne, whose crush on Earl Hebner led to him awarding her wins. This interrupted Brooke's first title reign, and the belt was swapped back to her four days later and still counted as a title change. It served no real purpose, other than introducing Wrestling/TarynTerrell as the official Knockouts referee.
2* BestKnownForTheFanservice: Brooke is pushed as a wrestler and has been so in TNA since 2011. People often forget that she's a multiple time champion - mainly because her most talked about attribute is her huge ass. She seems to be aware of this and incorporates her [[AssKicksYou ass into many of her moves in the ring]].
3* BaseBreakingCharacter: Like most [[Wrestling/WWEDivaSearch Diva Search]] girls, she has her lovers and her haters. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground. She had a significant amount of detractors springing up in 2012 when she abruptly got pushed to dethrone Gail Kim instead of Velvet Sky - who had been built up as the underdog face of the Knockouts division the previous year, only to have Gail completely kill her momentum. But her matches were of a good quality, so she had plenty championing her as well.
4* CreatorsPet: Downplayed. The Extreme Expose were a reviled part of WWECW that WWE tried too long to get over but once they finally scrapped it, they scrapped her along with it. She was the only member canned, proving to be the least favourite of the pets.
5* DesignatedHero: When she's face, she tends to come across as very arrogant and bitchy. In her feud with Tara, ''she'' came across as the heel until Tara was the one that turned.
6* FandomRivalry: Over which former Extreme Expose member became the better wrestler. Brooke is widely agreed to be better than Wrestling/KellyKelly, but fans can't agree if she's better than {{Wrestling/Layla}}. Brooke has continued to wrestle longer than both of them, but during Layla's 2012 return (with a notable improvement in her own ring skills) after her ACL injury fans started comparing the two.
7* HeartwarmingInHindsight: Watch those badly coordinated dances on ECW. At one point in time, all three of those women would improve and hold championship gold. In Kelly's shoot interview she is asked if she knows Brooke is a champion, to which she replies yes, still watches her every week and is proud of her.
8* HoYay: With [[Wrestling/LisaMarieVaron Tara]]. They would often hold hands on the way to the ring and sometimes kissed each other on the mouth. That's hard to be interpreted as anything but.
9* LoveToHate: As a heel after she broke away from Aces & Eights.
10* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: When she showed up in TNA, fans reacted with bewilderment. ''Diva Dirt'' especially called it a sign of TNA's desperation to sign just about anyone who had once been in WWE. But by the time she won the Knockouts Championship, she had a whole legion of fans (''Diva Dirt'' writers included).
11* RetroactiveRecognition: Did a nude video for ''Bikini Destinations: Fantasy''.
