- WWE's website has a new interview up with former WWE Diva Sharmell. Sharmell discusses The WCW Nitro Girls - a dance group she was involved in years ago during the Monday Night Wars.

"We had to be on point and perfect every night because we knew the whole world was going to see it. And every week we had a different [live] audience, so we never knew what to expect. All of that just added to the excitement of performing on Nitro. The electricity from the fans, the desire to be perfect … that’s what made the Nitro Girls so memorable."

The wife of Booker T talked about former Nitro Girl Stacy Keibler.

"I don’t think WCW management realized that the Nitro Girls would eventually become as popular as we did. When we held that contest, there were a lot of girls that really wanted to be Nitro Girls. We had the competitions in different cities and the auditions were packed, but we were fortunate to get Stacy. She won fair and square, and no one could have predicted the impact she would have on wrestling and pop culture."

Sharmell feels The Nitro Girls could have a place in WWE today.

"I really think we were ground-breaking, especially in sports-entertainment.We had calendars, magazines and videos of our own. We really made an impact. There are a number of talented Divas competing today, but I really feel that a group like the Nitro Girls could bring an extra level of excitement to WWE."

the NITROGIRLS could walk on set and just stand there, and they would be watched!

well, i could watch them

[Jimmy]

Spice was the hottest Nitro girl (not including Kimberly).

[Hit Girl]

The Nitro Girls were fine when limited to time filling dances between segments and matches. Once they started getting involved in storylines, the concept collapsed

Her and Fyre.

Though that isn't to say the other ones weren't hot.

I would seriously pay good money for a Blu-Ray of nothing but Nitro Girls dances.

She was hotter than Kimberly, imo.

[Stu]

And speaking of Fyre ....

[lovingway]

Fyre was a butterface

I think the girls were one of the more forgotten aspects of Nitro. They kept the live audience pumped and gave the impression of something is always happening at the events. I also liked the DJ they had as well

[Dave at the Movies]

I agree with her. I think WWE could use a girl dance team. The ring girls down in Mexico in the Lucha Libre promotions are pretty popular and it has become a tradition to have them down there.

Those things along with Michael Buffer during the main events always gave Nitro a big time feel to it and is a large reason why i was a die hard WCW fan until mid 1999

No mention of Chae in the hottest Nitro Girl?

I knew I forgot to mention someone. She was hot and she still is. I saw some recent pics of her since she has a facebook and she is still gorgeous.

I kind of had a crush on AC Jazz for some reason. Yes, she was the least hot of the bunch, but I still thought she was good looking.

Also, a lot of people forget about the other black one named Tayo. She, too, was a looker, but she wasn't there that long.

[Dave the Dave]

Ground breakin?

Sure.

[Shy Guy]

i wanted to be a nitro girl

[kyromax]

lol they were not nearly as popular as that article makes it seem.

[norsisclouds]

Oh please. Those videos were freaking terrible. I even remember there was a wrestlecrap article about it...and Stacy, an impact on pop culture?

lol

OK.

OK.

She is making an impact on a person who makes an impact on pop culture but many women have done that

Also, was it me or did the last group of Nitro Girls (Baby, Syren, Naughty A) were hotter but lacked the personality or distinction of the originals?
