Lita: A Less
Traveled R.O.A.D - The Reality of Amy Dumas
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 Lita takes it to the next
level. That's her reality, that's why she is a WWE™ Superstar.
Taking unexpected risks, daring to do what no one has done
before, that's the reality of Amy Dumas, the remarkable woman
behind Lita. Even as a young girl, Amy was determined to
challenge herself and the world around her. She found personal
freedom in the hardcore punk rock scene of the nineties. The
positive force of the music and culture helped define the
reality of Amy Dumas.
Her willingness to try anything once set her on the path to
World Wrestling Entertainment.™ Captivated by the high-flying
style of the luchadors she saw on television, Amy was hungry to
discover more about them. She just had to learn how they did
those amazing moves. With only a guidebook for a companion, Amy
set out for Mexico City where she was quickly invited into the
secret world of lucha libre, Mexico's unique brand of
professional wrestling. She returned to the States, resolute in
her goal to make it as a professional wrestler.
Amy found people who saw her determination and her heart, and
agreed to train her. As her skills improved, she began traveling
the highways and byways of America, working night after night in
independent promotions around the country. Along her journey,
Amy met an assortment of colorful characters as well as a number
of wrestlers who would prove influential in her career. Among
them were two local North Carolina stars who had just signed
with WWE -- Matt and Jeff Hardy. Amy formed an instant bond with
the dynamic Hardy Boyz,™ whose spectacular style and high-flying
bravado inspired her own bold in-ring style.
It wasn't long before Amy -- now christened Lita -- joined Matt
and Jeff in WWE, and the three friends became international
sensations as Team Extreme.™ Lita proved a true pioneer in
women's wrestling, daring to get in the ring with the boys --
including Triple H,™ Stone Cold Steve Austin™ and The Rock® --
and never backing down. It took a broken neck suffered on the
set of a television series to stop her...but only temporarily.
Lita: A Less Traveled R.O.A.D -- The Reality of Amy Dumas is the
stirring tale of one young woman's amazing journey to the top of
the wild, wonderful world of WWE.™
