I really hope Lita comes back and becomes WWE champion one day
Please try to get Wwf wwe sable on here ❤❤❤❤❤
Who else here grew up IN LOVE with Lita?
Honestly no, I enjoyed her when I first started watching but that was because of team xtreme, then when the edge situation happened I hated her very being.
I was too busy looking at Stacey and Tori lol. But when Lita first came in, her alternative style was very attractive.
@@gabebolton4604 Stacy legs for all days ❤
Bugging bro
I would
The way Lita left in 2006 absolutely stunk. The fact that Lita got disrespected on the way out like that simply because she was a heel just feels so wrong to me. I understand that she probably still had heat from the triangle the year before, but still. At least she got a much better send off this year.
I mean, to be fair, though, that IS what usually happens. The heel loses on the way out to further the push of the babyface. It’s the “time honoured tradition” Vince spoke of in the Bret Screwed Bret interview. It wasn’t just particular to Lita.
But I mean didn't Jeff do the same recently on a WWE House Show
Yeah i did not like it at all, it felt disrespectful after all she did for the company, and especially since they had just sent off Trish as a queen, she got the amazing farewell treatment right before Lita and Lita was taken out like trash. I do not care if she was a heel she did not need to be disrespected like that.
@@taffysaur no but her send off was so disrespectful. She was already getting slut shamed by the audience every time she was out in the ring and Vince decided to add onto that by having a “Ho Sale” after her match with Mickie James
Ya, I totally thought it was all a storyline. And when I found out it was real, and she wasn’t coming back, I couldn’t believe it.
Lita can still go. Trish can still go. Before it's too late we should have these two have their Wrestlemania moment together one day
Yes! Even though Trish vs Lita is one of the most iconic female rivalries in the WWE they’ve never had a wrestlemania match together or just “that” wrestlemania moment
You called it
Well this comment aged well lol
every 90’s Kid had a crush on her but as we grew up we started respecting her as a pro wrestler
20s Kids Also . 👍🏻👍🏻
Knowing her close ties to wwe i respect her bein honest about her not feeling good about her ending with wwe in 2006
Clicked instantly. Lita is One of my favorites ever, just so effortlessly cool and badass.
Lita has and always will be my favourite women's wrestler, full stop.
Same here always!
Lita seems like a really cool down to earth woman.
Hell yea, dude. Loved Lita during her active days. She had one of my favorite themes. Her and Trish tore it up during their feuds, and her and Edge were one of the best heel couples at one point. I was glad to see her come back for that match with Becky Lynch. It was nice to see her get that opportunity. Hope I still see her around.
Such an iconic wrestler and a Californian queen 👸🏽!
Thank you so much for this incredible interview with my all time favorite… LIta💗
Any/Lita is still a stunner.
Glad to see Amy is doing well.
Almost 47 & still gorgeous! Happy early birthday, Miss Dumas!
Chris I've been watching your videos for YEARS and I've never left even a single comment....So, Chris, I'm so glad I discovered your channel. You're a very hard worker, and it really shows in all your content. You are really an inspiration to me. Thanks for all the great content, CVV.
Thanks so much for your kind words, Brian!
I'm suprised she doesn't watch her matches. She did so good in the match with Becky. Didn't miss a step. I've been watching Lita since I was 12 years old. I'm a huge fan.
Becky carried her so hard in that match....... her back was sore just from that. I love Lita but it's just like everyone else that's came back... they're so much slower and off timing it's sad to see. I'm so scared to see Austin I may not watch
@@tlbryant4697 Becky can't carry anybody in a match 🤣
So you really think that the Lita we got in Saudi was the EXACT same as the teqm extreme days? I was super excited to see her again and after the match left feeling she should've just stayed the way I remembered her
@@denorwhi If you really pay close attention you can hear Becky calling spots and being the ring general
A lot of actors say the same thing with their films. They see things in a way that we can’t and will hyper critique themselves. And this may change their performance on something that may be good as is but because of the way they saw it they may change it for no reason. *cough* wwe “creative team”
Lita was my teenage wrestling crush back in the day. She wasn't the typical barbie girl...she was a tatted, rocker, daredevil chick and I was there for it!! haha
I don’t watch WWE anymore, but I still gotta check out these interviews with my childhood heroes. Lita, along with Trish and Victoria, are still my favorite womens wrestlers of all-time.
It was Lita, Victoria, and Mickie James for me.
They were your first fap be honest
She is amazing and always has been. I really hated all of the shit she got in her last years with WWE. Ive heard WAY worse stories from male wrestlers, yet she got ostracized so much. I hope her latest run felt like a redemption for her and I REALLY hope we see her more in the ring again.
She's still so good, I would love to see her wrestle more regularly.
This is an exceptional interview.
She literally doesn't age! Still beautiful!! AND she's still got it! ONE MORE MATCH! Great interview CVV
Seems like a super likeable person. Very happy she is doing fine
Oh Man, what a GREAT interview. I loved Lita whenever she wrestled...I remember when she started with Essa Rios, I said then, this girl is gonna be huge! Can't wait for your next interview, Chris. I hope to see you interview The Undertaker soon as he has been doing so many lately, I would love to see what you ask him as you always have the best questions. Thanks for this one.
Just imagine if she started with Trish in this generation when Womens Wrestling wasnt treated as a pissbreak.
She was originally a god father girl aka hoe before she was even with east rios
We don’t deserve you, Chris!! You’re awesome, bro! #Respect🤘
Great Interview Chris 👍🏼 I try to watch as many of these interviews as I can simply because they are always so easy flowing and interesting and this was no different 👌🏼 Lita seems so down to earth and such a likeable person
She really needs to come back! She still has it and she has definitely One more title run in her! The interview was toooo short!!!! U two need to make a part two, there’s so much more to talk! By the way thank u for the interview ♥️♥️
It sounds like she is living an amazing life after retiring
She's so not what the fans thought she was. She is the coolest person on earth.
I would love her vs Gonzales or Ripley. Finally women who can take her moves, bubbling careers that need that boost.
Give me lita vs Ripley ffs
I will always be mad for the way wwe sent her out. She deserved so much better! Love Lita she was always my favorite. I had the pleasure of meeting her twice and she really is a sweetheart!
Also, one nagging question I've always had in relation to Lita is: Why, in '06, was she quietly moved off from Rated RKO and transitioned back into singles?
It always seemed so strange to me that her and Edge's storyline wrapped up so uneventfully considering how formative/iconic that run was for both.
I’ve always noticed after a while their pairing felt very made for TV. Like I assume they probably broke up sometime during the run cuz after a while it didn’t feel like they were together
I think it was just WWE making sure her retiring did not continue on with Edge and his storylines since he was staying.
@@joejames1794 They broke up half way through the story line. She has talked about it before.
Because she retired however she was still with them a lot up until the end
@@KiickrOcksz but i think they dated after edge retired, he said he was going to Nicaragua with his gf and lita was known for going there, i think they dated after he retired again and then broke up and she started dating cm punk.
So ecstatic you got Amy, Chris!
What I really want to know about is why the Kayfabe documentary stopped so abruptly. I don't have good feelings about.
Maybe one day, once I launch my TBD podcast, maybe she will hear my stuff or have read some of my stuff and I'll get lucky enough to meet one of my 2 Attitude Era heroes in "Lita!"
Sadly, the other was Chyna. I subscribed to her TH-cam channel and watched it. I could have reached out to her. I will forever regret that...
Such a great interview,it answers so many questions. 🙌
Great interview, dude. I love Lita, so I'm glad you were able to get this interview and I could watch. Her vs Britt would've been great, but I can't complain with her staying with WWE. I hope she gets a proper retirement match in WWE. She so deserves that. Maybe have it at WM one day too?
I used to love watching Lita, I remember first seeing her with Ese Ríos. She had a bad girl look to her and dressed different than the rest, she used to do the moonsalts, it was nuts. I think she was my favorite woman wrestler, now that I think about it. She was like the Jeff Hardy of the womens devision back then. It's crazy how much women's wrestling has evolved, I love it
Excellent interview, I've been watching wrestling for 20 years and no one has been able to beat the R category couple (Lita and Edge), that's why Lita is still so popular, everyone wants to see her back! I hope WWE listens to the fans
She was at the height of popularity in Team Xtreme, when she dated Matt Hardy.
All of the Edge and Lita fans are mostly a decade or more behind her OG fans. And that's great. People are still learning about her. She is a legend and she is timeless. That's how it should be.
@@annabellahargrove8907 Edge and Team Xtreme in 2005 were midcard, Lita and Edge were a revolution and won world titles when they were the category R couple, while the Hardy boys are still Mid Card until now.
Edge has 31 WWE championships (the one with the most titles in WWE history and second with the most WWE world titles), Lita has 4 WWE world titles and several as a couple, she is also the iconic wrestler and most famous in WWE, but if he had remained in the team xtreme he would always have been Midcard, at the same time Edge needed Lita to be the category R star, they complemented each other.
I hope she comeback and join the darkness with Edge
@@annabellahargrove8907 nah I wouldn’t say she peaked in popularity at that time. She GAINED popularity and it grew as the years went by until her heel turn
Not the momma 😂
I have always supported her even during her heel days with Matt and Edge! I miss her so much! my idol Lita! True inspirations towards our generations who are alot younger than her but even back in her generations too! Now is the new youngster's future! and my hero!
WWE has a huge missed opportunity a few years ago. They use to do that Table for 3 on the WWE network. They should’ve had an episode with Lita, Edge and Matt Hardy! That would’ve been great entertainment
Err... you dont have much life experience or relationship experience do you ? one thing sitting around reminiscing about past wresting matches, another thing bringing up talking about how edge cheated on his second wife and broke up the engagement of matt and Lita, and how edge was a complete AH, and how badly it affected all three, and sent matt into deep depression.
Revisiting the worst time in your lives for wwe? Wtf?
@@philwill0123 they were never engaged
@@angelaizzo641 way to point that out like it affects anything
Yeah, this would never happen, they’d never agree to it, and certainly not if Matt Hardy’s wife has any say in the matter. Reby Sky is a stuck-up bitch and her behavior on Twitter shows it.
Yesssssss Lita ❤❤❤❤❤ please get sable on here omg ❤
My goodness Lita aging like fine wine!
Lita is more attractive now than back then. Loved the hardy boyz and lita when I was a kid. As always good interview Chris....
Shame she isn't having a match at Mania, Would have loved to see her in a feud with Sasha instead of Sasha in a tagteam
This was so great!
This is such an amazing interview. Great job Chris.
Awesome CVV great interview
Love your interviews, from India. ❤
Awesome interview
I love you "Lita (Amy) I watched every single match you were in. You're my favorite female wrestler of all-time 💗 . 🤟
We need her back full time
Great interview as usual
This interview was awesome
Thanks for the content Chris!
And thank you!
Chris love your interviews especially with the female wrestlers
Amy is the best! Great interview 👍🏻
I remember watching the Sunday night heat when lite debuted and from the start she had something special her chyna and trish was my girls they had such a huge impact on wwf
Chris!! I just saw a clip randomly of someone who didn’t recognize your work and it was a clip of your Anne Hathaway interview, I would love to hear this full story!!
The new interview alert is here! Phenomenal interview with Lita Chris! ⚡️
Amazing! Love her, thank you so much for this one!!! This was great!! Still love you my cute Chris 🥰😘
Lita in Saudi Arabia was truly iconic
Thanks for the video Chris! 👍😁
Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Huge fan and long time subscriber ...this is such a cool interview...big love from India Chris!!
Big love right back at ya!
@@ChrisVanVliet ❤️
She didn't age that bad still looking good
Great interview
I would love to see you in WWE, AEW or any promotion on television that will still let you do this channel
She is my fav female wrestler/diva of all time.
mi primero favorito senora amy dumas y legendarios ❤️💕🙌🏼
Such a great get for an interview, Chris! Always been a big Lita fan. Seeing as how booking can be so last minute, how awesome would it be if Lita were to take on a returning (Heel) Bayley at WrestleMania 38?!?! In my opinion, Bayley's about the only current roster member that reminds me of Lita more than Becky and I think they'd pair off well! What do you all think?
Yes! But it's way too close. Unless Bayley comes out to do a segment and her and Lita get into it, but not a match, maybe a moment / brawl. And Bayley runs off.
Lita legend
Great interview love Amy " LITA " Dumas ...
Awesome interview Chris Lita's the best 👍
She's great!
@@ChrisVanVliet yes she is
@@ChrisVanVlietShe's the best 😂
Lita looks great! She was my Son's favorite woman wrestler. Mine was Trish Stratus. Lol.
Is Lita back though? It's weird to me that the women like Lita, Trish, Torrie Wilson, Victoria, etc. still got a lot of life left and never returned for another run.
Correct! What a shame.
She brought up that Cody reached out to her about joining AEW, since he was probably key in many of their acquisitions in ex WWE superstars, sidebar what if Vince is bringing Cody in just so he can inadvertently stipend them from acquiring more assets to the AEW roster?
It’s definitely bragging rights for Vince hahaha looks like they’re all coming back. I’m shocked Cody went back because of the way they treated his family. It almost feels like he set himself up to fail in AEW with that I will never wrestle for the title thing. I think he would have been better off going away for a bit, do his tv shows try a movie or 2 then come back in AEW major heel turn and go for belt.
💯
God, she still looks amazing
Second Jay Lethal interview please!!!!!
I find it Ironic that Lita's first tat was Iconoclast and Edge's fist when he came back was Iconoclast
What is that?
Respect from Pakistan to fellow American brother.
she still is my first childhood crush.
Chris love your interview your the man but the one person I would love for u to interview is the tan hall of famer the monster abyss I think it would be a great interview
She’s literally the coolest fr
My old crush ❤
Lita come to AEW and join the hardy reunion 🙏
One of the badass women during her time.
Use to have a fly lita poster
Loved lit still my all-time fav female wrestler I was 8 and fell in love with her now I'm 28 and still have a crush on her
Lita looks GOODT!
43:14 Edge had a shirt that said "Iconoclast" which is pretty cool
Love these new thumbnails Chris. You always give us the best interviews! :)
Thanks! Glad you like them!
Wow. Lita still looks stunningly beautiful
Queen Xtreme
That right there is my childhood crush! 😻 🥰😍
She still looks ravishing
Great interview as always chris and yes lita still looks amazing,and also she still got it and is better than most of the roster nowadays,lita should get one more title run she is a better champion than becky cringy lynch will ever be.
That last part is debatable.
@@NoxWyatt at least lita looks like a women unlike becky.
Cvv lita thumbnail 💯🤩
I love you lita
Wish lita would join impact
Judgment Day with Lita at Summer Slam.
Please do interview with Trish stratus
Lita the trailblazer ❤️🔥
