No!
1) There are too few Divas to think of a WWE version of Playboy, even as a once a year issue. Unless they start hiring more and more useless bimbos just for that purpose. And do we want a non-stop Diva Search?
2) Playboy and other adult magazines survive because of their history. In the era of internet porn, a new magazine would fly off the shelves like a lead zeppelin.
3) WWE hava enough bad publicity already... Wanna add a softcore magazine t the list of reasons the wrestling business can be laughed at for?

All excellent points, and that's why I'm genuinely confused by why the "Yes" votes are winning by such a huge margin. I kinda wish I could see everyone's reasons for voting.

Basically because the want to see WWE divas without any clothes probably outweighs any concerns about the supposed view of WWE by the general public and mass media, which is quite low anyway.

Someone mentioned the great annoyance of the stupid, kiddie booking, and even though kids are a huge demo for the company, I share your frustration.
There's one thing I don't agree with you on, Khali. I don't think that devoting more attention to good wrestling necessarily has to make a fed a "pure wrestling/adult fed." I don't think that putting on better matches and allowing wrestlers more freedom to show what they can really do would necessarily turn off the younger demo. You don't need the barbed wire, light tubes, lesbian angles and general shock value to make the programming more "mature." I think that just taking standard matches up a notch would do that quite nicely. This, however, would require WWE to throw their marketing machine behind better wrestlers.
That's why I love people such as Rey Mysterio. Feed me all the crap about how he "agreed to exploit Eddie's death" (as if most of you wouldn't abandon your haughty idealism if you had to do the same thing to keep YOUR job), but in my eyes, the guy is one of the best to ever step into the ring. Part of that skill, and one of the reasons he deserves some success, is that he's one of the rare breed who's earned the respect of marks AND smarks. If we had more main eventers like that, the adults might be happier.
To me, "adult" content doesn't mean blood and sex; it just means putting the wrestling back into the (supposed) wrestling company. Do all the trademark moves that the kiddies want to see, but also show something that will keep the adults engaged. That's all I ask. It shouldn't matter to the kids; as long as they're faces, the stars will be their heroes no matter what they do in the ring.

The same organization who's CEO said he's gonna "tune down" the overt sexiness of the Divas is going to put out a nude pictoral magazine of them. And this family oriented promotion is going to support this. Don't see it ever happening.

Would I like to see them all naked: Yes, very much.
Would this magazine existing make sense: No
So, who wants to volunteer to sneak backstage and take pictures of them naked for us all to share?

They could do one of those things where the Divas are "nude" but nothing is really shown. Pointless? maybe. Marketing gimmick? Sure but its better than the boring usual swimsuit issue.

No more no less. That's why you get "boring" chants during matches involving "better wrestlers" with little charisma and "hero/antihero" value.

I just hate the kid aspect of wrestling. It annoys me to no end. I really don't think the merchandising portion would be that big of a loss personally. Kids aren't the ONLY ones who buy t-shirts and the like. Some of the most popular items on WWEShop are Triple H, Edge, Orton, Stone Cold, whose main fans are teenagers and adults. Me too. I don't have a problem with kids watching but when WWE puts the focus on kids and trailer trash alone (how many times has the camera NOT focused on some kid wearing a mysterio mask, a kid giving a thumbs down or a dumbass hillbilly?), I get annoyed. I really do think WWE thinks that their core fanbase are kids, nerds and dumbass adults...just look at the 2006 wwe.com piece for Cyber Sunday, then come back and say you honestly don't believe me. Edit: Speaking of being a dumbass, I nearly forgot to put in my say about the subject at hand. As long as WWE doesn't just pass off the divas as eye candy and lets it be known they are wrestlers..and damn good ones at that, I'd be okay with a nudie mag. Not if they just try and pass them off as pieces of meat though. Mickie naked=a very, very happy me (in more than one way........I am a guy afterall.). Edited

Yes, but you would have to make it totally filthy, not just them naked posing for pictures.
I will try to keep this clean.. but things like erhm... Finlay's weapon+Maria+Kelly Kelly+KY=mag sales.
Yes, I am perverted.
At least I admit it! lol
Oh, and have the centerfold a tear out poster with Big Daddy V getting it on with all of the Diva's. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Just not a very good idea for multiple reasons that have already been stated.
Besides, once ya did one, why would you ever need to do another?

Good man for admitting it. I am perverted too but Mickie's funbags are enough for me. Yeah, I'd like more but I'm not spoiled (not too bad, anyways....). And if Big Daddy V ever gets it on with Mickie....and I see it, a big piece of my soul is gonna die.

Only if Lita and trish come back. I've wanted that since i was 12. Those dreams will never die. After the way Trish has been built up in my mind and how perfectly structured her body is...I doubt any pictures she did could ever live up to how she's been built up in my mind.

Everybody's overlooking the most important aspect of doing a Playboy-style magazine featuring WWE divas......THE ARTICLES!!! Does anybody really want to read '20 Questions with Kevin Thorn' and not just saying yes for the sheer irony?

Does anybody really want to read '20 Questions with Kevin Thorn' and not just saying yes for the sheer irony? Q: I heard you frequent Bite Clubs, is this true? A: Yeah, where did you hear that? Hey it's totally unrelated to this interview, but did you know Matt Striker was a former schoolteacher?
