History Trivia / KellyKelly

* IAmNotSpock: She is only referred to as Barbara Blank now. Though this may be because WWE owns the name Kelly Kelly. However unlike a lot of [[DoNotCallMePaul talent]], the other Divas would freely call her 'Barbie' in non-kayfabe interviews.

* OldShame:
** The Extreme Expose gimmick. She says Paul Heyman called her up to say "do you have any dance training?" to which she said no. She still ended up in the dance troupe despite having "no rhythm". Further exacerbating matters was that she, Brooke (who also had no dance training) and Layla never had much time to put routines together; they never knew how much time they'd have or what music they'd be getting, so a routine had to be haphazardly put together a few hours before the tapings.
** The Kelly's Expose gimmick was embarrassing for her too, as she was eighteen and stripping on television. She's also embarrassed about the infamous debut segment where she couldn't unhook her own bra.

** She always told her opponents to go hard on her when they were punching, so she could properly play up the DamselInDistress and generate audience sympathy.

* {{Corpsing}}: The rookie Kelly Kelly was mentoring in [[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT]], Wrestling/{{Naomi}}, made her corpse by doing her routine in a Hamburger Helper costume for the Halloween costume contest.

* DyeingForYourArt: Averted. One of the few WWE Divas to go her whole career without getting breast implants.

* DoingItForTheArt:
** She always told her opponents to go hard on her when they were punching, so she could properly play up the DamselInDistress and generate audience sympathy.
** In the {{Chickification}}-heavy Diva Era, Kelly was known for taking some rather daring high spots. Michelle [=McCool=] referred to her as someone always willing to take a big bump to make a match memorable.

* EnforcedMethodActing: For the segment where the Sandman hit her in the face with his cane, she wasn't told that he'd be hitting her full force and so the blow was unexpected on her part.

** [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in her appearance in the 2018 Women's Royal Rumble. She was a replacement for [[Wrestling/Paige]], who had been recently injured. One wonders what Paige could have done given her skill and popularity.

* RomanceOnTheSet: With Batista briefly. He said she was "too immature" for him (forgetting what happens when you date a girl half your age). She also tragically dated the late Andrew "Test" Martin. It was thought that they had split up by the time he died but was revealed they had still been together. There were also rumors that she had a relationship with CM Punk at one point (not at all helped by Kelly's first major storyline being about her having a crush on Punk while still with abusive boyfriend Mike Knox).

* ActorExistenceLimbo: Kelly took a hiatus from the company in the summer of 2012 and was still promoted and featured on the website, despite not being around. She made a return for one match and one multi-Diva appearance at ''Summerslam'' before taking even more time off. She was even shown in a graphic for a battle royal that she did not participate in. She was eventually released in October.

* ContractualPurity: Managed to avoid this. A photo circulated the web of a drunk Kelly with her panties down peeing into a sink. She suffered no (known) backlash from it - though this was before WWE switched to PG. WWE did however eventually change its policy to restrict talent under 21 from being put on the road (this was most likely a response to not only her antics, but also Kenny Dykstra's, who was around 20 at the time and was well-known to be an avid partyer).

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Going by 2010 Kelly onwards, she was very aggressive and borderline heelish in the ring. In interviews she's known for being very bubbly and friendly.

** They were certainly going for some kind of storyline with [[Wrestling/KiaStevens Kharma]] which had to be dropped when the latter got pregnant.
