5 Most Degrading WWE Diva Moments
TMC
Women.
For years have fought for equality and respect.
While it may sound like a moot point to many people out there, the
suffrage movement is one of the most pivotal points in American
history.
The ladies involved in this movement were women who stood up for equal
pay in the work force, spoke out against sexual harassment and
discrimination, and fought against domestic and sexual violence; as a
result, they helped pave the way for many of the women who are in
positions of power today. If it weren't for the women involved in that
movement, ladies like Hilary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Angelina Jolie,
and Oprah Winfrey wouldn't have had the opportunity to have the impact
on society that they have.
These cavalier women gave up everything so that future generations of
females could have opportunities that they only dreamt of, and that's
why I’m sure each and every one of those women would facepalm
themselves when they see what some of the WWE Divas do for a paycheck.
I’ve noted on this site in the past that being a WWE Diva in today’s
wrestling environment doesn’t require much more than a firm backside,
and the ability to dress like a French Maid when the situation calls
for it ...
Sure, athletic ability and a love for the wrestling industry are great
tools to have, but they play second to an ass that looks good in tight
jeans ...
Over the years the WWE Divas have done various things to entertain the
paying audience. They’ve posed in bikinis on DVDs that can be best
described as soft-core porn, they’ve dressed up in scantily clad
Halloween costumes come the end of October, and they’ve even allowed
themselves to be recreated in slutty action figure form.
Amazingly though, those types of things are tame compared to some of
the items included in this list; a list I’ve titled, 5 Most Degrading
WWE Diva Moments.
These are moments in WWE history that set the suffrage movement, and
women’s rights, back a decade or so. They’re points in wrestling
history that caused many young girls to cringe, many young men to
masturbate, and many proud Father’s to turn red at the sight of what
their little girl is doing on national TV.
Onto the list …
#5 – Kelly Kelly’s Extreme Expose
When Kelly Kelly first debuted for the WWE, she was fresh out of High
School ...
The way the story goes, WWE agent Johnny Ace saw a picture of Kelly in
a magazine, as she was doing modeling at the time. Without ever
speaking to the girl, based solely off her looks, Johnny got in touch
with her agency and offered her a WWE contract as a Diva; within two
months, with virtually no formal wrestling training, she found herself
debuting on the WWE’s Tuesday night ECW program as “Kelly Kelly : The
Exhibitionist”.
If you don’t know what an exhibitionist is, do a Google search, and
make sure Safe Search is on. However, for those of you who don’t want
to go through the effort of searching that, an exhibitionist is
essentially a woman who walks into your bedroom fully clothed, and
within minutes finds herself naked, handcuffed, and covered in some
sort of dairy product.
While Kelly Kelly never found herself in that position on WWE TV, she
did put on what was deemed the “Extreme Expose”, which was essentially
a 3 minute stripping routine.
I’m well aware that stripping on television or film isn’t that
abnormal; respected actresses such as Roselyn Sanchez, Demi Moore, and
Lindsay Lohan have done it prior.
By the way, Lindsay Lohan as a “respected actress” was meant to be a
joke, in case you didn’t get that.
Anyways, while stripping has been done in the past, what made the
“Extreme Expose” so degrading and humiliating was the fact that Kelly
Kelly had to be the least sexy hot chick in the history of the planet.
For a girl that has a model's body, and a face that’s best described
as “meh”, she has the sensuality and sex appeal of Screech Powers when
she dances.
While the crowd cheered everytime a piece of clothing was removed, or
an ass-cheek was shaken, the audience as a whole was embarrassed for
her.
You could easily tell that she was uncomfortable dancing on stage
while removing her clothing, and you could also tell that she had the
same dancing skills as a drunk guy at a wedding.
All you could think about while watching her gyrate on stage was what
her High School classmates thought of her when they found her on TV,
as I assume the word “slut” was tossed around rather regularly.
On the plus side, I’m sure her Mother was proud.
By proud I mean ashamed.
By ashamed I mean she denies that's her daughter.
I'm just assuming, of course.
#4 – Melina vs Candice Michelle – Pudding Match
Melina grew up a wrestling fan who dreamt about being in the
business ...
To her credit, she worked extremely hard to get to where she is.
Melina trained for years, honing her skills, and building herself into
a woman who could compete in the ring with the skill and accuracy of
many of her male counterparts. That kind of determination and grit is
something Mother’s can use as an example for their young daughters,
showing them that if you have a dream, and you work hard enough, you
can achieve it.
Just make sure they don’t show them this match, where she rolls around
with a glorified porn star in a pool filled with chocolate pudding.
At this point in time in Melina’s career, she had reached the
pinnacle; she was the WWE Women’s Champion, a prestigious title held
by legends such as The Fabulous Moolah, Sensational Sherri, and Harvey
Whippleman. It’s a title she spent years dreaming about winning, but
I’m pretty sure she never envisioned herself defending it in a pool
filled with dessert.
A pudding match is similar to a regular match, only instead of
wrestlers exchanging armlocks in the middle of a wrestling ring, the
women exchange spankings while covered in pudding and wearing bikinis.
The matches generally aren't very good, and unless you're a huge fan
of gunging, they're not all that memorable; they're sort of like sex
with a fat chick, you try your best to enjoy it while it's going on,
but after it's over and done with you try and forget it ever happened.
I totally expect to get some angry emails about that one.
Anyhoo, I’m sure Melina is still very happy with her career of choice;
she's living her dream, as she’s one of the top Divas for the biggest
wrestling company of all time, but I’m sure she has moments when she’s
sitting alone and thinks to herself, “Wow, I really rolled around in a
pool of pudding in front of millions of people.”
#3 – HLA
If you go up to a long time WWE fan and you say three simple letters,
“HLA”, you’re going to be greeted with a cringe-worthy facial
expression similar to that of a Father who finds out his son prefers
the company of men.
HLA, for those who aren’t acronymically inclined, stands for Hot
Lesbian Action.
Yes, the same company that once appealed to young kids by having a
wrestling clown on their roster put on a segment called Hot Lesbian
Action.
Eric Bischoff, who was the General Manager of WWE’s Raw brand at the
time, wanted to “shake things up”, and “shock the world”; he did this
by bringing in two women who were about as attractive as the strippers
you’d find at a gentleman’s club at 1pm on a Tuesday, and proceed to
instruct them to “Get on with the lesbian stuff.”
Okay, he didn’t actually say, “Get on with the lesbian stuff”, but I’d
have given him extra points if he did.
Anyways, in the middle of the ring these two horribly sickly looking
women began to take off each others clothes, grab each others
backsides and breasts, and in the grand finale; they kissed.
High brow television.
To me, the most entertaining part of Hot Lesbian Action segment was
looking at the expressions of the various women in the audience, as
there were countless girls who were dragged to the show by their
boyfriends, and you could tell by the angry look on their face that
they were disgusted at what their boyfriends apparently watch on a
weekly basis.
The segment is universally seen as one of the low points in WWE
history, and thankfully with the exception of a brief mention here and
there, HLA hasn’t made its way back to WWE programming; it did however
have its own T-Shirt …
Which is about as classy a piece of clothing as anyone could hope to
own.
#2 – Torrie Wilson and Dawn Marie In The Hotel Room
Alright, time for a wrestling storyline history lesson.
Torrie Wilson ...
and Dawn Marie ...
... didn’t like each other, not at all.
They had countless matches against each other, cut angry promos about
one another, but then things got personal. You see, to get back at
Torrie Wilson for being, well, Torrie Wilson, Dawn Marie seduced and
became engaged to Torrie’s Father Al.
Torrie was obviously angered at the fact that her Father was being
seduced and taken advantage of by her sworn enemy, and the thought of
Dawn Marie becoming her stepmother was disturbing on countless levels.
Torrie would have done anything to keep her Father’s feelings from
being hurt, as she was convinced that Dawn was simply going to crush
his feeble heart the first chance she had; Dawn Marie offered Torrie a
proposal, to meet her in Room 357, where she could please Dawn and
protect her Father.
Still with me?
I don’t expect you to be.
So Torrie meets Dawn in Room 357, and Dawn proceeds to undress and
seduce Miss Wilson.
There’s gentle touches, warm glares, and passionate kisses ...
Torrie begrudgingly follows through with everything Dawn wanted her to
do, as she wants to protect her Father. Unfortunately, her efforts to
protect her Pops were all-for-not, as he ended up dying from too much
sex with Dawn Marie a few weeks later.
Seriously, this is the stuff the WWE creative team comes up with.
Now, I know this storyline sounds like something straight out of a
script for Days of Our Lives, and I’m sure many of you are reading
this and saying, “Well, that’s not that bad, they’re acting.”.
Well, let me explain the degrading portion of it.
Torrie Wilson was vocally uncomfortable doing this storyline. She
didn’t like the idea of it, and was horribly against going through
with it; the reason wasn’t because Torrie was a bitch, or because she
found Dawn to be sexually unattractive, it was because the person
portraying her Father was actually her real, biological, Dad.
Think about that for a second.
The WWE made a young woman strip down to her bra and panties, and
proceed to “get naughty” with another woman, all in front of her
Father.
I’m not a girl, but I assume the idea of being almost naked while
doing lesbian things with another woman in front of your Father is not
something most chicks clamor to do, and rightfully so.
While nobody with half a sense of decency would have faulted Torrie
for walking out of the company upon hearing this request, she was a
company girl, and went through with the storyline as requested.
It was later said during an interview that she and Dawn Marie had
downed a bottle of champagne prior to this segment being filmed, so I
guess that’s one way she got through it, but I’m still fairly
confident that there’s uncomfortable moments during Christmas at the
Wilson house, specifically when her Father says something like, “So
remember that time you made out with Dawn Marie while almost naked?”.
I don't care how good the Christmas cookies are, that'll make any
holiday extravaganza awkward.
#1 – Trish Stratus Barks Like A Dog and Strips
I want to start this segment of the article off by saying that by the
end of her run in the WWE Trish Stratus became one of the most
respected, and successful, women in the history of the business ..
.
She proved herself to be an all around talent; a gifted performer that
could entertain in the ring, talk on the mic, and wear bikinis with
trenchcoats without looking foolish …
In short, she became as legitimate as a woman could become in the
wrestling business, which is why it’s all the more entertaining to
look back on her early WWE years; to see her on her hands and knees,
crawling and barking like a dog.
During a Raw taking place in Washington, DC, Trish Stratus was in a
storyline with Mr. McMahon, and in the storyline she was begging for
Vince’s forgiveness. Seeing that the Mr. McMahon character isn’t very
forgiving, and is a bit egotistical, he decided the best way for Trish
to show she was sorry would be to make like a tree and bark.
In a segment that was both entertaining, and difficult to watch, Trish
proceeded to crawl around the ring at the behest of Mr. McMahon,
stopping only to bark into the microphone like a German Shepherd whose
tail got stepped on. After that humiliation was over, she was then
instructed to strip down to her bra and panties, causing Paul Heyman
to utter the classic line, “Hey Ma!!! I came to Washington DC and I’m
gonna’ get to see Bush !!!”.
Trish did this until Mr. McMahon thought she had enough humiliation.
At the time of this segment, Trish was a 26 year old woman. I’m sure
you don’t know of many 26 year old women who would be excited about
crawling on all fours while barking like a dog at the demand of a
middle aged man on national TV, and thus Trish wasn’t either, but she
went through with it to further the storyline and keep her job.
I’ve often wondered what Trish’s demeanor was like when she went back
into the locker room after the segment. I’ve got to believe she
couldn’t have been marching with her chin held high, because no matter
how comfortable you are with yourself, barking like a dog on national
television is as degrading as degrading gets.
Trish later said in a magazine interview that it was the worst thing
she ever did for money, which makes me wonder what the second worst
would be. She also stated that the fact that the segment is still
talked about today proves that they did something memorable.
Personally, I disagree with that; I think all it proves is that
wrestling fans are lonely, and a lot of them regularly visit YouTube.

*****
WWE needs to get with the modern thing in female sports. Women can be
"hot" and athletic, without the nasty stuff.
In fact (shocker) if you leave people wanting more they are likely to
come back than if you are all in the face all the time.
Not to mention the sick elements mentioned.
Necrosat
Need to add a #6 (should actually go up the list)
Mae Young giving birth to the hand.....
While I know it was all meant in fun (and I'm sure Mae approved it!)
- this was just an insult to the generation of lady wrestlers that
started it all and deserved a little more respect.
