Amy/Lita Appreciation #25: Bc her mark in the WWE will never be erased!
 

The remarkable woman behind Lita....

....see her just once in the ring and you can never forget it. The breathtaking off-the-top-rope fearlessness that she shows keeps you on the edge of your seat. You simply can't believe she's going to be able to pull off the move, and then Amy takes it to the next level. That's her reality, that's why she is a WWE superstar.

"What you see is what you get" has never been more appropriate than when speaking about Amy. When she steps into the ring as the bad-ass, never-say-die, alluring punk girl, she's not playing a role, she's just called something different. The WWE named her Lita, but she's just being Amy. I think this is the reason she is one of the most popular female wrestlers of all the time....because she's real.

She's like a lost flower, growing out through a crack
In the bustling sidewalk, moving like a river so sad
So hey, where we going? Tell me where we've gone.
Was there love and fury, energy and passion

So ******your rules man, you step up, you'll go down fast
I've got to release all the, stuff that has made up my past
So go paint your face and proclaim thy warrior soul
Cause life is a brutal, fight until we show

A shade of timelessness, for we are all distinct
and a waiting hour, transcendental release
So ******your rules man, you step up, you'll go down fast
I've got to release all the, stuff that has made up my past

So go let your soul dance baby, time to free yourself at last
Unshackle your life's spirit, pry away from the past.
Cause it's gone like a lost flower growing
With mad wind. like a sad river, who has no end.

- "That's one of the great things about wrestling....it's like being a rock star for people who don't smoke cigarenttes"

Tattoos/Piercings:


- Back of Neck- "Rebel"

The tattoo on my neck I got just because I had turned 18, it says "Rebel" in Russian. But it actually means "Iconoclast," which is a form of rebel. But rather than having to explain, I just give them my abbreviated answer.

Right Shoulder- 3-Eyed Demon Tattoo:

The tattoo on my shoulder I got as a souvenir traveling around Europe, at a pit stop in Amsterdam. As big as it is, people are kind of shocked that it doesn't really have a deep meaning behind it other than that I've always been independant and spontaneous, and it's kind of the antithesis of that.

- Inside of Bottom Lip "Punk":

The tattoo on the inside of my lip I got when I was living in a group house with about 10 people, including a band and a tattoo artist. I was the guinea pig for that artist. I held my own lip, and he tattooed it.

- Piercings: 2 snake eyes

Dawn Marie Mentions Lita in Interview:

Lita? -- Dawn: Great girl. She's a loyal friend. I've known her for many years. She was exceeded anything I thought she could ever accomplish from when I first met her and I'm very proud of her.

How did she exceed your expectations? -- Dawn: No, I just met her when she first started. And when you first meet someone and you see them so raw and green and just learning and just starting, I would have never thought she would be the superstar and the person she is today in the business. Not due to anything character-wise that she was lacking. Just I never thought she'd become the star she is. I'm very proud of her. Very proud of her. And she's handled it very well. And she's not a yesser. And I'm proud of her for that, too. She sticks up for herself regardless of the wrath afterwards, whatever is going to come after her afterwards. I respect her for that. She's not a kiss ass. I'm very proud of her.

Does she love the wrestling business? -- Dawn: Loves it. In her heart, in her bones, loves it. Very few women have that quality. Also in Foley's latest blog, when talking about Wrestlemania he mentions Lita: "And I can only wonder what was going through Lita’s head as she went for her little piggy back ride over the top rope — the most dangerous part of an out-of-control, 700-pound package. She was a vital part of the match. If, indeed, the fans’ opinions and the passage of time deem the match a classic, it will be in no small part because of her."

Hey all I still love Amy/Lita I mean I may not like her chioce of who she is with, but she is one hell of a competitor in that ring. I didn;t know she had a tattoo on the inside of her bottom lip:shrug: I hope she gets in the ring soon I miss her in action.

^ ^ hey Jessica, nice to see you by here again. :wave: Love the NH avi btw. :sigh:

Hey thanks Pat it's good to be here every once in awhile. I too love my avi, but glad you love it too;) I just loved that scene.

I want Lita back in the ring damn it!! Especially now that Mickie has the belt...they'd definitely have some really good matches. :nod:
