A working actress and model in Hollywood in the early 2000s, her agent suggested something called the WWE Diva Search - a weekly contest in which ten models, actresses and other women with entertainment backgrounds would compete to win a contract for the WWE worth $250,000. She placed fourth in the contest, which was ultimately won by Christy Hemme. WWE were very interested however and offered her a contract.
She debuted on television quickly, under her real name, as a villainous associate of John "Bradshaw" Layfield. Called his 'Image Consultant', she would frequently be seen in backstage segments and at ringside for his matches, but she showed signs of having storylines of her own; particularly when she began a feud with fellow Diva Search contestant Joy Giovanni, the girlfriend of the Big Show. Amy even defeated her by forfeit in what would be her only match.
Unfortunately, before more could be done with her, she decided to leave WWE after experiencing some backstage bullying from Randy Orton and Edge while flying home from a Japanese tour. The departure was explained as JBL firing her offscreen. Outside of wrestling, she has appeared in multiple films (some of which she produced), such as Transmorphers and is currently a real estate broker.
Image Consulted Tropes:
- Aborted Arc: Her feud with Joy was cut short when she left the company.
- Actually Pretty Funny: In the Diss the Diva segment, when Joy and Christy Hemme roasted her, she could be seen playing along and giggling.
- Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: With her long black hair and darker colouring, she was notably the only Diva Search contestant to play a heel on television (at least until Candice Michelle, also-dark haired, turned to form Vince's Devils later that year).
- Arch-Enemy: Amy had no animosity to any of JBL's opponents beyond that they were her boss's rivals, but she hated Joy Giovanni on principle.
- The Bully: She antagonised Joy by saying she had clearly eaten too much at Christmas.
- Cat Fight: Joy had enough of Amy bullying her and got into a pull-apart catfight with her backstage that set up their only match.
- Characterization Marches On: In the Diva Search, she portrayed a bubbly Genki Girl who only trash talked Carmella DeCesare. When she re-debuted as JBL's image consultant, she was a manipulative coward who toyed with people For the Evulz.
- Didn't Think This Through: She didn't think that Joy would fight back when she antagonised her, and was horrified when she was placed in a match; despite that often happening when brawls break out backstage. Also doubles as Genre Blindness.
- Femme Fatale: She seduced Kurt Angle to lure him into her dressing room in the hopes of sabotaging Joy Giovanni, under the pretense of getting hired as his image consultant too.
- Girl Friday: As a non wrestler and assistant to JBL, she played a villainous example.
- Irony: Although she played people against each other and sabotaged Joy more than once, when their only match was forfeited by Joy being tied up in JBL's limo, Amy herself actually had nothing to do with it, and Kurt Angle put Joy in there to frame JBL.
- Lady in Red: She once attempted to sow discord between Booker T and Eddie Guerrero while wearing a sexy strapless red dress.
- Ms. Fanservice: Not as much as in the Diva Search, but she did often wear figure flattering clothes and outfits that showed some cleavage. She's dressed as a typical Sexy Secretary during her time in The Cabinet.
- Precision F-Strike: In Diss the Diva, she merely told to Joy to "learn how to lick a pie" and Christy to "settle your ass down". Then she speaks to Carmella..."Whore! You have no respect for the WWE! You know shit about wrestling, and guess what? Having a cock in your mouth has nothing to do with wrestling. (beat) Bitch!"
- Put on a Bus: She was fired offscreen by JBL as punishment for shooting him with the tranquilizer.
- Red Herring: She and JBL were set up to be red herrings by Kurt Angle. When Amy and Joy were placed in a match that Amy did not want to be part of, Joy was found tied up in JBL's limo, making it look like the two had her kidnapped so Amy wouldn't have to fight her. Kurt Angle however was the one who kidnapped Joy.
- Slut-Shaming:
- She called Joy a slut and insinuated that she actually enjoyed running naked through the arena after the shower trick she pulled with Kurt Angle.
- She also called Carmella DeCesare a whore and insinuated that she was Sleeping Their Way to the Top.
- Small Name, Big Ego: When declared the winner via forfeit of her match against Joy, she immediately started Squeeing and celebrating as though she had won it legitimately. When moments before, she was terrified at what was about to happen.
- Tamer and Chaster: In the Diva Search, she wore a bikini, club wear or skimpy athletic gear every week. As JBL's image consultant, it was more business suits, classy dresses and blouses that only showed mild cleavage.
- This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!: Her Diss the Diva promo on Carmella had ten seconds left, so she finished it by shouting "bitch!"
- Took a Level in Jerkass: If we compared her Diva Search persona to her kayfabe one, she re-debuted as a heel.
- The Unfought: Although she was placed in a match against Joy Giovanni, the latter never made it to the ring on account of being found Bound and Gagged in JBL's limo. Amy was awarded the win via forfeit, and they never faced each other afterwards.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: She accidentally shot JBL with a tranquiliser dart he had intended for the Big Show, which led to JBL embarrassing himself in the ring by taunting an inflated Godzilla doll. This was used as his reason for firing her to explain her sudden absence after Japan.
