Miss NWO from Souled Out 1997. Embarrassing, seedy, awkward, tacky, wrong in every way.

Um, almost all of them because the payoff was either going to be a wrestling angle or bad comedy.

Pretty much like everything that tried to be sexy from the Attitude Era through Ruthless Aggression.

If I recall, didn't those segments nearly get WWE booted off networks in the UK or something?

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. 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. WWF, yes. MILF WCW Liz? Maybe.

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: They look like they should be using stethoscopes on patients. It was also shot like absolute shit, cutting away from many of the eliminations to focus on inane bullshit like a woman hitting a guy with a belt for what felt like 12 minutes. So, not only did the women have to get stripped, most of it was poorly shot, anyway, so it basically failed on every metric. Demeaning AND unsexy and inept.

Sable. Just Sable. Someone’s bitch 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. 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. That segment wasn't all bad news, Jacquline was DOIN' the damn thing in that little number she wore. She won that contest by landslide

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 think she was originally supposed to wear something more provocative as Savage and Hogan kept mentioning an "itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny, yellow polka dot bikini" in pre match interviews, but someone (most likely Savage) put the kibosh on that. But they wanted to go ahead with the distraction ploy anyways and the red bloomers was the compromise

I am not sure if this post follows what the thread is going for, but stuff from the mid-2000s can be questionable on how sexy they were supposed to be. Sure, you could talk about the late-1990s and early-2000s, but when I look at stuff like that Bra and Panties match from Great American Bash 2005 or even that Fatal 4-Way Bra and Panties match from Great American Bash 2006, as well as the Bra and Panties Gauntlet from New Year's Revolution 2006, I really wonder about the whole scenarios involved. Let me start. GAB 2005 - Torrie Wilson vs. Melina with Candice Michelle as a guest referee for some reason. While Torrie lost the match, Melina still gets stripped down to her underwear regardless, and of course, Candice takes off her ref top. It wasn't like she was covering up much, anyway. Then you have other bits where despite winning the match, the winner will still strip down, no matter what. I have no idea how anyone ever found those old mud/gravy bowl matches sexy. I agree with you on this. You could also add in pudding bowl matches while you're at it. I mean, sure, you still have women in a state of undress in these types of matches, but when people equate "dirty" to being "sexy," this isn't what I have in mind.

Sable, Debra, HLA, Godfathers Hoes, woman giving Stink faces, the diva search.
Mostly everything but the live sex celebration.

Ruthless Aggression John Cena. At the time he was roided to the gills and had a habit of making these weird ass, neck vein bulging, fave wrinkled like roadmap faces. But WWE insisted on presenting him as a heartthrob. At the time I heard women say he looked like a Neanderthal. These days now that he’s not juice, opinions seem to have come around a little more.

Most "sexy moments" always made me feel more uncomfortable than anything.
I prefer the women in wrestling to either wrestle or serve an active role as a manager or whatnot.
It's one thing to have things like the Nitro Girls who's job it is to create energy with their dance routines. It's another thing to strip down women to their underwear. The early 2000's really seemed like a demeaning time to be a woman considering they were mostly used as eye candy.

I assume it was meant to be sexy, but Daffney being forced to strip, which basically just meant her looking really uncomfortable and showing her bra strap for a second until Lacey Von Erich jumped her for no reason and then stripping, herself, continued the proud tradition of TNA being absolutely terrible at trying to do anything sexual.

Game, set, match. Even 13 year old Hova just kind of said, "Oh, she's.....there." She was a barbie doll, mad of plastic, not so fantastic. It didn't help that she was terrible at everything. She couldn't wrestle, she wouldn't take bumps, her promos were the cure to insomnia, and she couldn't dance. You know how it has been said white people can't dance or have no rhythm? Go watch Sable dance. They tried multiple times on national TV to have her bump and grind and it was like watching a train wreck.

Brian Lawler wasn't a bad looking guy, but calling himself "Grandmaster Sexay" was an example of supreme hubris.

The more sexy one tries to look the less sexy they look. Some of the sexiest people I have seen made no attempt to look sexy at all.
