Sorry if this was already brought up but with the WWE's "kid-friendly" era, will there be no Playboy WWE connection next year? I mean they didn't do the Diva Search this year, and Maria had already shot her Playboy pics around this time last year in order for it to be ready for the Playboy March/April edition. So does anyone else think its not gonna happen this March?

I don't know if it's so much the kid thing as the shows have definately been more wrestling driven the last year. Who knows?

Well, it seems less and less likely that a diva is gonna pose this year, which im not upset about at all, now it makes me wonder what exactly we will get WM25 if its not centered around playboy.

This is both a good and bad thing. Bad cause we don't get a beautiful diva in Playboy. Good cause now we don't have to deal with a crappy Playboy Cover Girl going for the Women's title. Or any Playboy gimmick match at Wrestlemania.

It's not to late yet.
I would say if January ends and there's no Playboy info, then it will be to late.
Someone very well could have already done a shoot or something and they are waiting to announce it/start the push for some reason. Or it could be someone already being pushed anyway.

Seriously, if you are over 18 and you buy a Playboy, it actually IS for the articles and fiction. The presence of a WWE Diva certainly moves copies the same way it would if a minor celeb from another area of entertainment posed. It is a money boost for Playboy in terms of the extra sales, but it functions more as a way for WWE to show the goods to non-fans who are flipping through while on the can, and maybe bring in a few more viewers.

I doubt WWE is doing Playboy this year. I think it's time they do "Sticky Buns Weekly" instead.

Didn't the last playboy issue which featured a WWE Diva bomb? I guess they may not be doing it again.

It is not too late for the Playboy stuff for 2009. According to reports from the Smackdown tapings, there are mentions of nude pictures of a WWE female on-screen personality. ;D

With the exception of Maria, i hadn't cared about the wwe/playboy tie-in since they teased us with Stacy Keebler and Charlie Haas's wife(can't remember her name)...I still feel jipped! Torrie Wilson and Sable...lame

I think the Playboy stuff is done. it ruined Chyna, Gave sable an ego, didnt do anything for any of the others. I guess it worked for Torrie Wilson.

This is not necessarily a bad thing. Unless Playboy lowers their prices and/or features more raunchy stuff I think it's days are numbered.

Well they can always have an online market like most businesses nowadays? That can bring things up.

Honestly I think they're going to put it off, because to my knowledge the last couple of times haven't sold that well, but who knows
