Welcome to another sexy edition of the
ESSENTIALS. This week, I posted an article on the 30 sexiest women of wrestling. The article quickly went on to become one of the most popular on the blog. Thus, inspiring me to do a bit of a companion piece. Earlier in the year I made the argument that "sex sells" and that the WWE Divas division thrived in the Attitude Era partly due to the fact that the divas were steaming up TV screens week after week. The current crop of divas have some very capable performers, but it's always going to seem as if there's a missing element. That missing element is the model of diva who thrives in the role Torrie Wilson and Stacy Keibler once filled. The days of the divas who had major mainstream crossover appeal and were primarily used as valets and occasional bikini contests and fulfilled our fantasies in DVD releases, are long gone. Still, if the WWE were to do another "Diva Search", I'm going to throw a few names out there for them to start with. These five women are smoking hot, but also possess that X-factor. That intangible quality that I believe, can help bring back the sexy and win back some of the attention the division has been sorely lacking. This list is purely for entertainment purposes and shouldn't be taken very seriously. And even if you don't miss the "sexy era", at least you can appreciate the view.
