YMMV / Christy Hemme

• Awesome Moments:
  • During the 'Diss the Diva' segment in the Diva Search, Christy shuts all the other women down with a fantastic promo.
  "Didn't your mothers teach you not to mess with fire? It's hot, and I will burn you. Joy, is this [shakes her boobs] the only thing you can do? Amy, it looks like you've been sucking on something sour, because those lips look like a fish. And Carmella, you're a cum burping gutter slut! I'm gonna come down on all of you" — drops into the splits and punches the canvas.
  • Christy shuts down Trish Stratus's hypocrisy in Slut-Shaming her for simply wanting to pose in Playboy, reminding her of all the numerous affairs she's had in the past.
  "Posing for Playboy doesn't make you a slut. Leaping with half the locker room? That makes you a slut."
• Awesome Music: Christy is quite a good singer, and her song "Bad Thing" is some of her best work.
• Best Known for the Fanservice: Not entirely her fault. She did have potential and her wrestling career was cut short due to injuries, but she did pose for Playboy and often wore skimpy outfits during her stints as interviewer and ring announcer.
• Broken Base: Her push in TNA against Awesome Kong. As TNA had been pushing women from the indies like Gail Kim, Taylor Wilde and Angelina Love, a lot of fans were not happy at a model-turned-wrestler being put in the spotlight in favour of the others. Even Diva Dirt were critical of the push. But there were just as many that felt Christy was improving and produced some good matches before injuries derailed her momentum.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Among Diva fans, Christy is thought to be one of the better women who came out of the Diva Search. Mainly because of her natural personality and the fact that she did show some promise in the ring before injuries cut her wrestling career short.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Some felt that the feud with Trish Stratus headed into WrestleMania 21 had lots of potential to be a good one. The only problem was that Christy was far too green to get such a push. She later revealed that the match had been carefully planned around her strengths, but the previous one ran overlong, and their time was slashed in half - meaning Trish had to call everything to her at the last minute.
• Vindicated by History: Although not as despised by smarks as some of the Diva Search contestants, reactions to her WWE and TNA pushes were tepid at the time, due to Christy being favoured over more experienced women wrestlers. Now, sympathy for how injuries led to her retiring too soon, and appreciation for how fast she improved, as well as several high points of her career pointing to potential she might have tapped into have Christy seen in a much more positive light.
• X-Pac Heat:
  • Only at the 2005 Vengeance PPV. She played the Face in her match against Victoria, but the crowd turned on her and booed her whenever she was on the offence. "Christy sucks" chants can also be heard throughout. This is likely due to Victoria being Unintentionally Sympathetic.
  • She also got some heat from smarks in 2010 when it was announced that she had re-signed her TNA contract for several million dollars in salary - despite only being a ring announcer. This was badly timed to other Knockouts very publicly leaving the company due to low pay - including Gail Kim, Awesome Kong and Tara.
