The Divas are beautiful no doubt. This is coming from a straight woman. But as for you men, has there been a time when the Divas were well, becoming at least, unsexy to you? When I was watching the Diva Search, (whatever I didn't miss on purpose) I was wondering if guys thought how Vince could make a group of beautiful girls so unattractive and unsexy. It was more demeaning and cringeworthy than any bra and panties match I have ever seen. Those matches had the problem of overkill to the point where they have become sleazy in my eyes. Anyways, is Vince the only guy who can make a hot girl still hot, but no longer interesting or sexy? I am just interested in this because of the lack of reaction the Divas often get and the lack of respect their matches get.

I could have sworn there was a period where it was rumored that the makeup people were purposely trying to make a certain diva look bad appearance wise - maybe Tamina but just taking a wild guess. I don't remember who, maybe I am thinking about Angelina from TNA.

I don't get it. It's as if they think actual wrestling from the Divas will make them less attractive to casual fans, somehow; a fact that has been a lie since something like the seventies (before the Attitude Era, even; like Leilani Kai and Wendi Richter). The Divas, along with everyone else, is being watered down, and dare I say dumbed down for the "casual fan," people who, odds are, if they didn't want to see wrestling, they wouldn't be watching a wrestling show. Let the Divas who can wrestle do so, let the one's who want to get better get better. You know what will happen? The matches will get better, they won't be piss-breaks anymore, and the women in the matches will still be attractive.
But yeah, you pretty much got it. Not too many men are interested in two-dimensional women; looks can get your attention, yes, but you need a personality or depth or something to keep their attention.

Honestly, a lot of the women, while in obvious good shape, the seem...well, they seem like walking airbrush exhibits. I get that it's the whole plastic surgery "must have the look" thing, but to me it's not even remotely sexy. It's almost a case of "at a galnce, holy damn they're hot" but if you look closely (not stalker close, but an admiring glance even) it just comes across as a completely artificial look.

Oh, the Diva Search women absolutely. Dozens of physically attractive women who were just unattractive to watch because they went out there and acted like prostitutes and never seemed to know anything about wrestling at all (seeing good looking women be passionate about wrestling is actually quite attractive).
There was a bra and panties match between Kristal/McCool/Jillian/Ashley that was just not sexy at all. Most bra and panties matches have an element of sexiness, but that one was just awful.
Kelly Kelly, in theory, is very attractive. Maybe its because she's as exciting as watching paint dry (and you could probably get a better conversation out of the wall) but she just does nothing for me.
When you look back at the women that have been in the WWE in the past 10 years, 99% of them have been absolutely gorgeous.

Anyways, is Vince the only guy who can make a hot girl still hot, but no longer interesting or sexy? I am just interested in this because of the lack of reaction the Divas often get and the lack of respect their matches get. I have to break out my definition of the WWE Divas once again. There are "Divas" that have wrestling experience & can wrestle (Natalya, Beth Phoenix, Gail Kim, Melina) & there are "Un-Divas" which are WWE Divas which have ZERO wrestling experience & were found either through modeling agencies, bikini magazines, The Diva Search, or other venues. IMO none of the Un-Divas are sexy nor talented period. They are just wastes of a pulse that can fill out a bikini & even some of them can't do it right. They can't even do a decent match! EDIT: Some hot women have HUGE egos thinking they are the most attractive thing on the planet & everybody should be nice to them because they're hot & I've seen this concept a lot. All of the Un-Divas think they're so attractive which in fact they're not. Gail Kim is the only WWE Diva I met years ago when she was the TNA Knockout's champion & she was pretty funny...& early! I don't even care about them anymore & in fact it was one WWE Diva (Michelle McCool) that made me stop watching WWE altogether. I'm more of a TNA Knockouts guy because of the following: 1. They can wrestle. 2. Cookie's on TNA & in person she's boneriffic! 3. I've met Christy Hemme & Tara personally speaking & they are great people to be around with. Briefly met Winter & that accent is somewhat attractive but an interesting person. However ODB's back on the show & I wish some serious harm on her for being the HRC that she is. (HRC is censored but if you want to know what it is let me know.)

Candice Michelle.
Original GoDaddy commercials: hot WWE divas: surprisingly less hot each week. It's almost like her face was melting. Also most of her outfits weren't very flattering to her very thick, curvy body.

When I was in my mid to late teens, I enjoyed divas segments for the sex appeal. Perhaps lucky for me, this was during the time when WWE most pushed the envelope with Divas.
Now I just want interesting characters and the occasional good match. I don't mind them for eye-candy, but I don't have the same type of reaction to them as I did when I was 15-21 years old.
I enjoyed Mickie James feud with Trish because I found Mickie's character interesting. I enjoyed Victoria's original character with Stevie Richards. I mostly enjoyed LayCool as they had characters (and Layla is very hot). I enjoyed what they were doing with Kharma. I thought Jazz was awesome at portraying a bad ass. At one time she came off as one of the best performers in the whole company to me.
One of the current divas I really like is Maryse, based on her heel push from a couple of years ago. It's a shame she is not utilized any more. She had a lot of charisma. I think they have also dropped the ball with Gail Kim and Beth Phoenix who could contribute so much more to the division. I like AJ and Kaitlyn based on the personalities we got to see on NXT. I like Natalya based on her in ring work and how she looks different.
I don't really care much for Kelly Kelly, Eve, Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendez, or Melina. Sometimes I see glimpses from the Bella Twins that show me some nice personality and interaction.
In the end, WWE doesn't want to promote the type of Diva division I'd like to see. Neither does TNA. With the way WWE uses Divas, I prefer that diva segments be short.

Also most of her outfits weren't very flattering to her very thick, curvy body. I always kid thinking that Candice Michelle was either a Terminator or one of the robots they used to create Linda McMahon based on her looking so FAKE & so plastic. But Candice recently gave birth so she's now a Cylon I guess.
