Kris Laum (born November 23, 1976 in Seoul, Korea) was a professional wrestling valet and manager in ECW and WCW. She used the names Kimona Wana-Laya and Leia Meow.

Career

Kristina Laum was asked by her friend Raven to go into professional wrestling while she was working as a dancer at a club.

Kris started in Extreme Championship Wrestling in 1996 as Kimona Wana-Laya. She was Raven's valet and would occasionally get into catfights with his opponents' valets.

She left Raven to be with Tommy Dreamer when it was revealed that she was having a lesbian affair with Dreamer's manager, Beulah McGillicutty. Perhaps her most fondly remembered moment in ECW was Hardcore Heaven '95: When the ring collapsed just before the scheduled main event between Rob Van Dam and Sabu, Promoter Paul Heyman was forced to find a way to entertain the fans while the ring crew could repair it. His solution was to send Kimona out onto the balcony atop the Arena to do a striptease involving a towel, a $20 Bill and very little else. In true Pro-wrestling fashion however, the striptease was more tease than strip - Kimona did not actually strip naked, rather she removed her underwear and brandished them, while concealed by her bathtowel.

Laum later left ECW and worked for Jersey All-Pro Wrestling for awhile as Kimona. She was signed by WCW in 1999, but they didn't know what to do with her for several months. She eventually debuted alongside The Varsity Club (Kevin Sullivan, Mike Rotunda and Rick Steiner) as the cheerleader, Leia Meow. She was forced to do pushups and to jump on a trampoline at ringside whenever they demanded it.

This angle soon ended and she became the manager for the "Jung Dragons" (Jamie San, Yun Yang and Kaz Hayashi). She would interfere in matches with a flying bodypress off of the top rope onto their opponents. She also had a dominatrix gimmick then so she carried a whip.

She used it to attack Pamela Paulshock after Paulshock had won the "Miss WCW" contest that Meow participated on September 25, 2000.

By the time WCW was sold to Vince McMahon, she had been fired from WCW due to roster cuts.

She went to the Xtreme Wrestling Federation where she was a member of the X-Girls, a dance team that included Gorgeous George and Chiquita Anderson of the Nitro Girls. When XWF folded, Kris retired from wrestling.

She is now working as a stripper in the United States.
