BTW, what makes Vince think his women are so hot they're going to draw. I mean sure they're attractive, but they aren't exactly nude, and they aren't exactly in the top hundred attractive women in the world. What makes Vince think that these people, who compete with more raunchy and more marketted women around the media world, are going to draw fans to a wrestling promotion?
I hope this is just for a Diva's DVD, and most of them die out afterwards. No offense to any of these ladies, but we don't want to see you just because you're hot. It's been said already, and by me several time, but hire your Gail Kims, Molly Hollys, Trishs, Victorias and even your Litas. Attractive and/or respectable women who wrestle well will draw MUCH better than hot women who are their insulting who we are as people (What makes Vince think that every wrestling fan and/or teenager wants to see low-raunch activities that don't even give us ideas, performed by people who think they'r emuch hotter than they actually are?).
It pained me to see Randy Orton pretend to be wowed by Candace Michelle on his RAW a few weeks back. "Does this show off too much cleverage?", it really pissed me off that we were supposed to be drooling over that?
My rant's gone on long enough, but how someone looks is such an unsafe way of trying to draw. There will always be someone in another form of media that's hot, and there will always be someone in another form of media that's using sex appeal, but there will not be an endless stream of women with wrestling talent. That's what Vince needs to realise, IMO. I admit, I 've never run a wrestling promotion in my life, and I would probably fail miserably at it. But I can tell you, watching these women march around would make even 14-year old kids go "WTF? Am I supposed to be horny? Is this supposed to make me watch?", and why would they if they can just flick to the porn channel?
I really think the way the WWE handles its divas needs to be matured. "Ooo, it's a woman! She's got boobies! Ooo, she's taunting her body around!". The way the WWE books its sex appeal if so one dimesnional. Maria would get me much more interested in her if she was wearing a formal business suit cutitng a promo in a raunchy voice talking about her "man" (who she is managing), and she is pleased with him. Or even about her husband. I don't need to see her embarrasing my intelligence and morality. And is it just me, or are the divas booked as if they're supposed to be the only women we see in out life? Ridiculous.
