"That is a gorgeous, gorgeous....lady."
What's with the pause there, Vinny?
Those last few monkey sounds are very delightful.

It was at that precise point that Vince saw the future of the WWE. Hot women = Ratings.

You know what I realised at that point? If that happened now, the interweb would be pissed off that some 'useless diva' (cos c'mon, that's essentially what Liz was, good booking and demure beauty aside) had taken the role a real manager should have had.

Bullshit. Liz was a great addition to the Macho Man. She also had a unique look at the time, since she was a beautiful woman in sport dominanted by men or manly women. Even if she would debut now, she would stand out since she was a natural beauty. Macho Man was also someone that didn't need a manager, so there was no reason to give him a 'real' manager to talk for him. With Elizabeth the Macho Man character grew and she was one of the reasons for his succes. That's completely different then giving a weak wrestler just a pretty lady to get at least a crowd reaction. Which is what people would complain about. |

Aside from showing a bit of leg & whatever, in WWF, what did she do?

I'm truly disappointed that this is not the Dr. D interview challenging Hulk Hogan.

If that happened now, the interweb would be pissed off that some 'useless diva' (cos c'mon, that's essentially what Liz was, good booking and demure beauty aside) had taken the role a real manager should have had. There was a lot less "divas" in WWF back then, though. There was Elizabeth and Sensational Sherri. Later on, I guess you can count Sapphire. Beyond that, women like Moolah, Wendi Richter, and Leilani Kai were actual wrestlers (Sherri could wrestle, too, but that's not what they had her around for). Nowadays, the market is over-saturated. There's plenty of nearly naked broads, but they keep hiring more. Plus, back then, Elizabeth and Sherri served a different purpose than the broads they have now. The divas now do their little stripteases and pillow fights, and basically, there's the feeling "I go to the internet for hot chicks, I go to wrestling for wrestling." But, get this: in the 80s, nobody HAD the internet! And your dad certainly wasn't gonna give you his stash of nudie mags. And, might I add, that Elizabeth and Sherri didn't provide the PG jiggle-fests WWE is providing now. Sherri was, at times, an attractive woman, but they usually made her look gawdy. That, combined with her grating voice meant partnering her up with some young heel (like Shawn Michaels) meant instant heel heat. Meanwhile, Elizabeth was way too wholesome for the "porn-lite" treatment WWE's got going on now. She was all "walks on the beach" while the broads now are mostly "a romp in the backseat of your car." D'ya see what I'm saying? Wow, I didn't intend for this post to get this long. NOTE: I'm talking about the "divas" which I differentiate from the women that actually wrestle. And, I know that they have all their women wrestle in WWE, but I trust you know what I mean when I say the ones that actually wrestle. |
