How do I know it sells? My friend Philip would not watch wrestling, thought it was a joke, didn't care about Stone Cold...but he saw Sable and started watching every RAW...My friend Mark subscribed to RAW magazine to get the Diva posters that used to come in all of them (He worshiped Sunny)...my other friend Andrew has just about every Diva Tape, yet hasn't ever been assed enough to buy a WrestleMania...
Granted this was all when we were in Middle school...but for pre-pubesent boys, Divas sell big time. We all knew how to access porn off the net back then, but you have to remember for young boys comming into their sexuality, going straight to the porn is a big and sometime guiltfilled step. It does draw young boys to the market. It is a tried and true form of selling entertainment.
It is an insult to intelligence, except wait a second, like it or not, the Diva Search segments were some of the highest rated segments of RAW over the past year. Plus it dosn't take a brillient man to hear that showing close up of clevage gets HUGE crowd reactions.
Trust me, you don't need to sell a lifelong gay Professional Wrestling (not Sports Entertainment) fan that watching girls in tight clothing is annoying. I agree it is, but it sells, and that can't be denied.
