I watched one of Brian Zane’s videos about Sting, and there was a clip from the early WCW days of Madusa Micelli, dressed in a dollar store Halloween belly dancer costume, “seducing” the Stinger with a look on her face like she’d rather have been just about anywhere else. This brought to mind her role as a biker babe for Spin the Wheel Make the Deal, and while she at least looked enthused for that her cornball over-acting certainly didn’t come across as particularly enticing. And from there I began thinking of further times where promotions were attempting something risqué only for it to fall flat. The diva search is a penultimate example, beautiful, bountiful young women bouncing around in bikinis to absolute crickets. What would be some other examples?

The bikini competition at Beach Blast '92. I've never found the swimwear of that era very flattering, and it didn't help that the participants didn't really seem to be into it at all. |

Any and all situations where women are forced to roll around mud.

Most of the music videos for heartthrob tag teams.

Maybe I'm alone on this, but I found nothing hot about the Godfather's ho train. The whole thing was pretty gross, actually.
I find a lot of the Attitude Era T&A to be this way. They were trying to give cross-eyed idiot wrestling fans spank material, and it just made their female performers look trashy in most cases.

On TNA’s second ever show they had a Miss TNA Lingerie Battle Royal. Only it was a very misleading name. The women wrestled in what looked like ill fitting men’s pajamas:  |

Come to think of it, Triple H’s Conan the barbarian WM entrance. Namely the fact that one of the slave girls was Charlotte Flair. I’m sure nothing was really meant by it, and that she didn’t mind the WM paycheck, but the jokes just wrote themselves about it being sone sort of weird existential fantasy of his to have the daughter of his childhood idol as his slave.

No, the subject said moments that weren't so sexy. |

Sable. Just Sable.
Someone’s bitchy aunt with the personality of a UPS truck got a ton of screen time because the owner and the head writer were obsessed with the idea of her in white cotton panties.

I have no idea how anyone ever found those old mud/gravy bowl matches sexy.

This is more or less what I came here to say. I get that it was the zeitgeist of the time, but Sable "taking her top off" to reveal comically oversized, unrealistic looking, cement-hard implants with hand shaped pasties doesn't exactly hold up as hot these days. Attractiveness is highly subjective but, to me, the same holds true for a lot of the Attitude Era's "sexy moments." Sable, Debra, Terri, etc... all had looks that were very specific to the 90s notion of what was "sexy." I would argue that modern Trish is more attractive than when she debuted looking like South Park's take on Dog the Bounty Hunter's wife. |

Elizabeth removing her skirt at SummerSlam 88. Even as a kid, I didn’t understand why that made two grown men completely stop in their tracks. I always said after taking a peek, I’d go back to beating down my opponents, not completely distracted by a woman in red bloomers.

I wasn’t watching during her ‘prime’, but seeing her debut my first thought was ‘She looks old’. I was only 21 myself at the time so thought that anyone over 35 was old, but compared to the youthful looking Sunny who was all over TV, Sable looked to be about 42 even then. |

I always said after taking a peek, I’d go back to beating down my opponents, not completely distracted by a woman in red bloomers. Elizabeth was an attractive woman with pretty much zero sex appeal, imo. She just looked awkward and embarrassed after that skirt came off, and I just feel second hand embarrassment for her. The closest she got to "sexy" is when she was managing Luger, and even that was a little bit like seeing my mom in a low cut dress. |

WWE Divas Undressed. Everyone remembers how the writers thought a fanservice event needed fan disservice comedy and we got Rico in a pineapple bra and Mae Young doing her grossout grandma thing. But even without all that they spent so much time cutting to judge reaction shots, which really isn't that much higher on the sexy scale - cutting from attractive women to dudes' grimacing faces with no warning.
