* BestKnownForTheFanservice: The ''Armageddon'' PPV in 1999 is also where Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon made a FaceHeelTurn on [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon her father]] and sided with Wrestling/TripleH, but that tends to be forgotten, despite having a much bigger impact on wrestling history. What everyone remembers is Miss Kitty flashing her breasts to the crowd, the first time there had been actual nudity on WWF television. If she's ever brought up, the flashing is what's mentioned. Granted she ''was'' pushed as a MsFanservice character anyway. She may personify this trope's [[JustForFun/LousyAlternateTitles Lousy Alternate Title]] '''"Screw the Plot, There's A Hot Topless Chick!"'''

** And after the match happened, she had no idea the ToplessnessFromTheBack plan had been messed up by the wrong camera going out live - so she arrives back in the locker room getting a standing ovation from the whole roster.

** Probably the biggest mystery about her run is why she ''didn't'' pose.


Added DiffLines:

** She also claims that when she was part of MCW, she was randomly put as a colour commentator - despite being an accountant and hairdresser who knew very little about wrestling. Apparently while the other commentators were legitimately calling the match, she was just talking about "how cute somebody's tights are."
** Her story about the first time she was ever on TV. As part of MCW, she was given an interviewer role to ask a fan in the crowd how he was enjoying the show. The fan just replied with "fine" and Stacy describes completely freezing before covering up by talking to the commentators - but she accidentally said the name of [[EpicFail a commentator who had just left the promotion]]. Apparently as they cut back to the studio, you could hear Stacy {{Corpsing}} at her own goof.

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Despite not being very good in the ring, The Kat was a pretty good manager (she had been one prior to joining WWF). During Chyna's match at ''Armageddon'' 1999 when Chris Jericho has her trapped in the Walls of Jericho, The Kat is at ringside calling out for Chyna to make it over to her where the ropes are - in a rather powerful moment of acting on her part. Earlier in the match she also prevented Jericho from using a chair on Chyna and when the referee reprimands her for it, she argues "he had a ''chair''".



* LesYay: Her alliance with Wrestling/{{Chyna}}. They wore T-shirts with "MASTER" (Chyna) and "SLAVE" (Kat) on them, for gosh sakes. Stacy also says they considered doing a sexy photoshoot together for Maxim or another magazine like that.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Her mainstream popularity got quite big in 2000. A picture from one of her matches made it to TIME Magazine, and Hugh Heffner asked her to pose
for Playboy.
* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
** Her ''Diva Diaries'' shoot interview. She tells a story about her mother coming to a show with her, and calling out to Wrestling/DwayneJohnson from afar. When he ignored her, she got up and yelled out "[[SuddenlyShouting But I'm Miss Kitty's momma!]]" - and he immediately ran over to take a picture with her.
** During Jeff Jarrett's last match - with Miss Kitty at ringside - Jim Ross says on commentary "Miss Kitty's meal ticket is in jeopardy". Jerry Lawler (who of course was Miss Kitty's ''husband'' at the time in real life) gives a magnificent FlatWhat.
* GrowingTheBeard: If one looks at her matches before she was released, she was doing alright in the ring and probably could have evolved into a decent wrestler. She credits Ivory with teaching her a lot, and had
some reason. Additionally, Carter herself has been almost completely forgotten, and decent matches on the rare occasions indies after her release.
* HarsherInHindsight:
** Her partnership with Chyna, and photos such as [[http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk58/JohnDeMott/Extra%20Stuff/wwe.jpg these]] showing them all friendly. Stacy claims in her shoot interview
that she is mentioned, it's almost always for and Chyna abruptly drifted apart in late 2000 and she strongly suspects that Chyna was the flashing.
one who got her fired.
** And of course Jerry Lawler supported her in her feud against the Right to Censor, as a nod to their offscreen marriage. They split up only six months later.
** Ivory's dislike of The Kat on-screen is also uncomfortable to watch when Ivory gives shoot interviews and states how much she hated that storyline.
* [[HoYay Les Yay]]: HilariousInHindsight: A lampshaded example. She used to know Jeff Jarrett from her days working on the Memphis indies, and had to pick him up from the airport one night. The day of her debut, she describes him waiting in gorilla ready to go out and saying "Stacy Carter, who would have thought it?" before they did their segment.
* LesYay:
Her alliance with Wrestling/{{Chyna}}. They wore T-shirts with "MASTER" (Chyna) and "SLAVE" (Kat) on them, for gosh sakes. Stacy also says they considered doing a sexy photoshoot together for Maxim or another magazine like that.
* NeverLiveItDown:
** After leaving WWF, her lawyer advised her to have her real name withheld from various wrestling websites and to have her pictures taken down. For years this got her a reputation of someone who was ashamed of her time in wrestling and didn't like her fans. She has shaken this off and shared numerous backstage photos from her time there - and made several indie appearances.
** Her winning the Women's Championship was regarded as a low point of the Attitude Era - as she only won it in an Evening Gown In A Pool match, had no wrestling training at all and barely defended it. Expect her run as champion to be mentioned as an example of how badly booked the Attitude Era women were.
* SheReallyCanAct: Despite not being very good in the ring, The Kat was a pretty good manager (she had been one prior to joining WWF). During Chyna's match at ''Armageddon'' 1999 when Chris Jericho has her trapped in the Walls of Jericho, The Kat is at ringside calling out for Chyna to make it over to her where the ropes are - in a rather powerful moment of acting on her part. Earlier in the match she also prevented Jericho from using a chair on Chyna and when the referee reprimands her for it, she argues "he had a ''chair''".
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: From what Jerry Lawler and Stacy herself have said, the Right to Censor storyline was going to go on for quite a while. The day of her release, she was getting ready to tape loads of segments. It would also have been interesting to see how it tied into Chyna's feud with the RTC - given The Kat's storyline relationship with her.
