Seeing Christy Hemme going into the WWE's Diva Search
contest you just knew she was a shoe-in for the job. Her
blazing red hair and hyper attitude is what drew fans
to her. While the Diva Search contest seemed like a dud,
week after week the contestants had to endure odd and
embarrassing situations such as a pie eating contest and
trying to seduce eccentric over weight wrestlers. Christy
however was always the most creative, and took a different
direction due to her wild personality and that's what
took her to the top of the contest. On September 20, 2004's
Raw is War, Christy was revealed as the RAW Diva Search
Contest winner.
After winning the contest, she was immediately treated
as road kill by other WWE Divas such as Trish Stratus,
Gail Kim, & Molly Holly. On September 27, 2004's Raw is
war, Christy was attacked by these three ladies and stripped
of her clothing. Her first spotlight match-up came soon
after on October 19, 2004's Taboo Tuesday Pay Per View
in which she defeated Carmella, who was the Diva Search
contest runner up, in a "Lingerie Pillow Fight." Soon
after in November that year, the WWE released many of
their top women's wrestlers, including Jazz and Gail Kim,
and then hirer Diva search contestants, Christy would
feel the backlash of this.
In early 2005, rumors of her posing for Playboy surfaced,
and without a doubt, it was true. The WWE used this opportunity
to promote Wrestlemania. For promotion, a feud with the
WWE Women's Champion; Trish Stratus was sparked. On April
3, 2005 at Wrestlemania 21, Trish Stratus defeated Christy
Hemme to retain her title. Many felt that she did not
deserve a Women's Title match at WrestleMania, seeing
as she was not a trained wrestler, despite this, she continued
to be involved in Women's matches and contests.
On, May 30, 2005's Raw is Jerry Lawler hosted a Bikini
Contest, in which Victoria attacked the women in the contest.
Christy Hemme would be victim to Victoria's Widow's Peak.
A shot feud developed and on June 24, 2005's Vengeance,
Victoria defeated Christy Hemme, in a match-up.
She went on to host the 2005 Diva Search Contest and soon
after a feud with Melina Perez developed. On September
30th's episode of Smackdown, Melina Perez defeated Christy
Hemme in a Wrestling match, however at No Mercy that year
as The Legion of Doom & Christy Hemme defeated Melina
& MNM. The two met up in various match-ups throughout
the weeks that followed.
A huge shocker came on December 5, 2005 as she was unexpectedly
released from her World Wrestling Entertainment contract.
It was announced that it was a budget cut and creatively
they didn't have anything for her to do, however it was
not a rational explanation. On April 23, 2006 on TNA's
Lockdown, she debut in Total Nonstop Action working as
a "TNA Knockout."
