Yes.
Then we wouldn't need to see Divas on WWE programming.
They could just sell nude photos and videos.

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 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. But... honestly... WWE aren't really that far away from the truth... Pro wrestling isn't cultural entertainment, isn't high brow comedy, isn't "classy", isn't making witty social references... It's about two (or more) men in spandex underwear/tights pretending to beat the living hell out of eachother, 52 weeks per year, for a piece of shiny leather and metal. Or for the most stupid reasons... It IS a show for kids, teens and "dumbass adults". It doesn't mean a normal, smart and cultivated person can't watch and enjoy the show, but expecting Aeschylus or Sartre (or even a greco-roman wrestling match) is just wishful thinking, and a huge mistake.

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? 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? Q: So how come you've ditched the vampire get-up and now look like Adam Bomb? A: Uhhhhh, you never said this was going to be one of the questions. You said this was going to be strictly about my collection of Norman Rockwell commemorative dinner plates.

Q: Didn't you used to have a chick who used to come out to the ring with you? Whatever happened to her?
A: Ya know, you're the first person that's asked me that. Mostly no one ever noticed. I know I gott tired of me fighting Stevie Richards week after week and hearing " C'mon THORN!" over and over again from the corner. That grated on my nerves. It's like "Helloooo! I know what I'm doing vampire chick-- sorry I'm blankin on her name, but she was the tannest vampire ever" I hear she's big on the internet though.

Q: Why didn't the Mordecai gimmick work out?
A: Because JR said I had the in-ring ability of a salad at a barbeque. I have no f***ing clue what he meant by that. Alls I know was they took away my giant cross and FedEx me back to Louisville three hours later.

Q: Did that kinda confusion with JR happen often?
A: Like you wouldn't believe. " Hey kid that match like a lumberjack trying to saw down some logs after a big breakfast of flapjacks." I mean, is that good or bad? And you've gotta say something, but you don't wanna guess wrong and end up in wrestler court with the nuclear heatzzz. That's what happened to CM Punk. Well that and the fur coats.

Q: Is Jerry Lawler THAT big of a pervert?
A: Put it this way. I would never introduce him to my 16 year old niece unless she wore a big sweater and a fake moustache. Hell, he might still try to dry hump her.

Q: Does the Ron Simmons DAMN! thing ever get old?
A: No, only because when you see him around, if you ever say hello to him, dude will not shut up! On and on he goes, ranting about everything under the sun. I had to listen to a forty five minute diatribe about how they replaced the Big Bacon Classic #4 meal on the Wendy's menu with the Baconator #4. It's like he's Andy Rooney, only ya know black, and can probably kick your ass, so you just kinda sit there and go " I know man, Baconator sucks"

Q:So what do you do in your off time?
A:Well, I enjoy brooding a lot. Can't get enough brooding in a day. I do that 3 to 4 times a week. Just 2 hours of pouting in a corner. Does wonders for the bottom lip muscles. Oh and watching Mama's Family reruns on TV.

[Rant]I realize pro wrestling isn't high brow entertainment. Hell, it's part of the reason I enjoy it, actually. Nobody is going to say WWE is civilized and IMO, it should never become classy or fancy. All I'm trying to say here is that to me, WWE just tries to focus on complete geeks whenever they get the chance to, as if they think they are the only fans they have. It wouldn't kill to show a normal guy (who isn't a celebrity) having fun but instead, it seems like they always TRY to focus on complete idiots (if you watch SD!, you know what I mean). It's like they think only nerds and kids watch their products and WWE is doing nothing to dissuade people from thinking wrestling and it's fans are trash. If anything, they encourage it and it can get frustrating. Sorry if people think I'm looking too far into things but I really believe WWE doesn't think too highly of the fans. Sorry for the long ass rant, btw.[/Rant]
