Appreciating Amy Dumas

Amy Dumas began her wrestling career in Mexico in 1998. She gained fame in ECW and much more fame in the WWE as Lita.
I have met Amy several times, including a couple memorable times with her bestie and former opponent Trish Stratus. Amy is always great at conventions.
A neck injury derailed her career. She mostly has been sporadically appearing since 2007. Now 50, she shows slight signs of slowing down in the ring, but she is still capable of excellent matches. More importantly, she is better at the actual story telling than most of today's stars. It's a lost art at times.
Amy is doing it right these days. When she makes appearances in wrestling, it means something. She doesn't overstay the visit either.
Despite being most retired for 15+ years, Amy is still hugely popular at conventions. Part of that reason is how nice and engaging she is. Like in wrestling, Amy knows how to attract the audience. I always look forward to seeing her and I hope I do again in 2026.
