[edit] 1999
Stacy Carter first appeared on Monday Night RAW in August 1999 as Miss Kitty, an assistant to Debra, appointed to her by Jeff Jarrett.[1] The partnership ended when Jarrett left the company after losing the Intercontinental Championship to Chyna at No Mercy.[1] Because she won the match, Chyna also won the services of Miss Kitty, and Carter then became Chynette, dressing in 'Chyna-like' clothing and dying her hair black.[1]
At Armageddon in December 1999, Miss Kitty won her only WWF Women's Championship in a Four Corners Evening Gown Pool match by defeating champion Ivory, Jacqueline, and Barbara "BB" Bush.[2] The Special Guest Referees were The Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young. After the match, Miss Kitty stripped out of her dress in celebration and flashed the crowd her breasts, before being covered up.[2][3] This was the first instance of nudity in the WWF.[4][3]
[edit] 2000
By 2000, Carter began to be referred to as The Kat.[4] She lost the Championship on the January 31 edition of RAW to Harvey "Hervina" Wippleman in a 'Lumberjill Snowbunny match'.[5] The Kat then appeared at the Royal Rumble in the 'Miss Royal Rumble Swimsuit Contest', where she appeared in a bikini made out of Bubble Wrap.[6] The contest, however, was 'won' by Mae Young.[6]
The Kat then entered into a lengthy feud with Terri Runnels, although neither were trained wrestlers. At WrestleMania 2000, Terri (accompanied by The Fabulous Moolah) defeated The Kat (with Mae Young) in a Catfight.[7] Val Venis was the Special Guest Referee, but was distracted when Young kissed him in response to Val making out with both Terri and The Kat.[7] This allowed Moolah to pull The Kat out of the ring, and when Val saw her out of the ring, he declared Terri the winner.[7] Post-match, The Kat attacked Terri by stripping her black pants off to expose her thong.[7] The feud continued to an Arm Wrestling match at Insurrextion.[4] Carter was victorious, but after the match, Terri pulled The Kat's top off, exposing her breasts.[4] Instead of being disgusted or embarrassed, Carter allowed the crowd to see her breasts.[4] The feud resurfaced in a 'Thong Stink Face' match at SummerSlam, where The Kat won the match by delivering a stinkface to Terri.[8]
[edit] 2001
In early 2001, The Kat began an angle with a stable called the Right to Censor where she demanded equal time for the "right for nudity".[9][3] At No Way Out, Jerry Lawler lost a match to Steven Richards, the head of the stable, after The Kat mistakenly hit him with the Women's Championship belt.[9] As a result of Lawler losing the match, she was forced to join the stable.
On February 27, 2001, Carter was released from the WWF,[10] and as a result, Jerry Lawler quit the company.[9][11] Carter was released from the WWF because Vince McMahon decided to end the angle with the Right to Censor.[12]
[edit] Independent circuit
After Carter and Lawler left the World Wrestling Federation, they worked various independent wrestling events.[10] Moreover, they signed with Tri-Star Productions and worked at Memphis Championship Wrestling.[10] She left the wrestling business upon separating from Jerry Lawler.
