Because for every female you draw in with a sex symbol male superstar, you'll likely lose 2 straight male fans along with it. are you serious? really? I think 2Pac once said sth like this about popularity: "once you get the chicks, the guys will follow" I'm not sure what this has to do with turning superstars and divas into sex symbols. I'm also not sure why the WWE should even consider taking business advice from Tupac. |

I'm sure they do. it's probably not a demographic they care much about, though.

Crackers are a family food. Happy families. Maybe single people eat crackers. But it's a market we can do without.

When Vince got acquitted in 94', he was out on bail, fresh outta jail, California Dreamin'. Soon as he stepped on the scene, he was hearing hootchies screamin'! |

As a Saltine-American, I'm glad they continue to provide quality programm----ok, maybe not quality but programming for those of us without melanin. |

Without going too deep into it (ur-hur-hur, ur-hur-hur), I'm actually turned off by attempts to present male wrestlers overtly as cheesecake. I would suggest that Shawn Michaels' appeal to many women went down the crapper the moment his issue of _Playgirl_ came out. At most, Michaels was #2 as the "Sexiest Man" in WWF/E at that time, behind Bret Hart. A lot of female fans thought Michaels was too flaky compared to Hart. Many women are actually drawn to in-ring competence as well as physique, if not prefering the former over the latter.

He could even say that he did some crazy stuff on the indies but he was never involved in something like this. |

I'm somewhat glad WWE hasn't tried to hard to sex to the women. Wrestling promoters have had a history of missing the mark when it come to what female fans like. Partially because female wrestling fans aren't a monolith. Partially because they base a woman's kink off of their kink. Just look at the ratio of men to women on FAN that love them some JoMo. Lastly, some women just want to watch a show for the show. I like to keep me wrestling and my perving separate and I don't think I'm that snowflaky.

Not sure if it's societal or biological, but women generally are not attracted to men just being sexy, but they are attracted to sexy men doing things.
Most women don't like porn, but they will totally swoon over Justin Timberlake. The reason Justin is not just sexy but a singer, and dancer.
My guess is if they started pointing out the sexyness on air women would be turned off by it

Gonna be blunt, there's nothing even remotely sexual or attractive about wrestling, male or female to me. I know that WWE tries to make it that way with the Divas, but I don't get the point. How do you emphasize sexiness with one aspect of your show while also trying to be "family-friendly" (admittingly less so these days than it used to be, but still)? It just feels creepy to look at a Diva in a sexual way when you know there's a bunch of kids in the crowd.
