Trivia / Katey Harvey

Go To

  • Blooper: She was billed as 'Kaitlyn Harvey' on the first show of the short-lived Full Throttle Wrestling promotion.
  • Dear Negative Reader: She took the time to blast a review of her return in 2019 that focused entirely on her appearance. Specifically a little bit of weight that she gained as a result of not being able to use her arms for months.
  • Dye Hard: She added blonde into her hair in 2014. Before she was in wrestling she dyed her hair red. The red hair returned in 2019.
  • Hostility on the Set: As of the 2020 'Speaking Out' movement exposing a lot of corruption behind the scenes in wrestling, she named several incidents:
    • One wrestler flashing her backstage and trying to get her to shower with him, also trying to get her to cheat on her boyfriend.
    • One promotion where she was made to wear a costume that belonged to the promoter's ex-wife and walk another wrestler to the ring like a dog on a leash - and told she wouldn't get paid if she didn't do it.
    • Being verbally abused and fat-shamed by many male wrestlers.
  • Old Shame:
    • A 'Hairspray on a Pole' match she had for Celtic Championship Wrestling in 2013. People still ask her about it and she says "they need to just let it die".
    • She denounced CCW altogether in 2019 - citing inappropriate behavior towards female wrestlers, financial abuse and unsafe working conditions.
    • She was ashamed of the disastrous second show of Full Throttle Wrestling, where an intergender match had her being given no offence, and was essentially ten minutes of a woman being beaten up and teased with sex jokes.
  • Playing Against Type: As of 2016 she's a heel in most of the major promotions so it's rare to see her booked as a face these days.
  • Promoted Fanboy: She used to attend Progress wrestling shows as a fan, before getting to wrestle on them.
  • Real Life Writes the Plot:
    • When the FFPW women's division was introduced, Katey and Lucy Lasso were the first two ready to debut. Katey was made the heel because she had more upper body strength and was therefore better suited to controlling the match.
    • She broke her shoulder in 2018 and had to drop the OTT Women's Championship. As a result when she returned, she was a Face for the first time in the promotion's history.
  • Reality Subtext: Her status as The Mentor to Valkyrie comes from her essentially training her from the beginning of her career.
  • She Also Did: She worked as a stunt woman on Vikings.
  • Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things: She has said that she originally enjoyed reading reviews of her matches - as she liked seeing the audience's perspective of her work. But when she read one that focused on nothing but trashing her appearance, she stopped reading them for the sake of her mental health.
