A few days ago, WWE.com released arguably its weirdest list ever, with "The 50 Most Beautiful People in Sports Entertainment", which ranks both women and men together.

So yeah...figured I'd forward the list for discussion, as I'm sure there are some who would take umbrage with the assertion that Randy Orton is more beautiful than Trish Stratus, or that HHH (schnozz and all) is more attractive than both Kaitlyn and Molly Holly.
I've personally given up trying to explain the weirdness of WWE.com. I think that in some ways the whole site is just a rib on everyone and WWE itself doesn't even care about it anymore.
Also, any plans for a December Starrcade countdown? I imagine the 1997-99 shows are the origin of all WCW-related scorn. Either way, keep up the great work with the blog!
I already did the Starrcade countdown last year on the blog, but I might repost the reposts to InsidePulse because I don't think I did them there.

John Cena at 35? All his cheers come from kids and woman, surprised he isn't at least in the top 10. Not to mention he is Vince McMahon's darling
ReplyDeleteTriple H at 44 is too high.
ReplyDeleteThat top 10 is pretty solid actually.
ReplyDeleteTriple H is more beautiful than Kaitlyn....girl can't catch a break.
ReplyDeleteEve Torres and her giant jawline over Stacy? Batista #11? This has to be some kind of joke. Needs more Molly Holly.
ReplyDeleteEve Torres and her mutant chin shouldn't be anywhere near the top 5.
ReplyDeleteNo AJ? Guess her push is done.
ReplyDeleteAlso I'm pretty sure Bret Hart back in the mid 90's was a highly attractive guy with lots of girls screaming for him. I mean he like a 1000 times better looking than HHH.
ReplyDeleteShe needs to pay her dues before she can be on a list with HHH.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the Nature Boy? Woooo!
ReplyDeleteI assume GOB Bluth put this list together, based on his desire to nail the third-place winner in beauty pageants.
ReplyDeleteOh well. At least I'm still number one in the Meth'd out face paint category.
ReplyDeleteDumb list but I love miss. Elizabeth as #1. But randy orton has #2 was random I had a nice lol for myself.
ReplyDeleteHer?
ReplyDeleteI'd rather have Eve, Stacy, Torrie, Kelly, Melina, AJ, etc. etc. C'mon..
Speaking of HHH I'm shocked he only put himself at 44.
ReplyDeleteWho the hell is Jim Londos?
ReplyDeleteJust his way of g
ReplyDeleteEve at 3 is a crock. And no Marlena/Terri Runnels is a joke, too; she was SMOKING hot, especially in one of the bikinis she wore during the bikini contest days.
ReplyDeleteOne of those guys that wrestled long before WWF/E even existed. No idea what the hell he's doing on the list.
ReplyDeleteI don't even argue these things much anymore. The need to have so many of the current roster on these lists makes them garbage. And how do you even rate the most beautiful, particularly when mixing genders?
ReplyDeleteany list I did would have Stacy Kiebler number one, as great as Liz was.
No Beulah? Fuck this list.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Pat Patterson put him on the list.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to make sure I got this right: Randy Orton and Batista are more attractive than Shawn Michaels. People, I'm as straight as they come, but even I know Shawn Michaels is about as hot shit as it gets as a guy. Him not being in the top 5 is ludicrous.
ReplyDeleteOn the ladies side, can't complain too much with the exception of Eve Torres being too high, but that's just me.
Shawn Michaels looks are like Ric Flairs in ring ability. Just held on too long.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I bothered to read this list just to see #23. The fact that Roma made the list and Flair didn't has to be a hilarious reference to the 4 Horsemen DVD.
ReplyDeleteI disagree a little bit with Scott on the WWE website observation. I think the content has improved dramatically over the last year or so. I might go there about once a week these days as opposed to about twice a year. Styles does place a disproportionate amount of influence/significance on ECW, however.
ReplyDeleteMiss Elizabeth is a good 'general consensus' #1 choice. Realistically there have been lots of better-looking women in WWE history but Liz had the class factor, not to mention the fact that the majority of WWE's gen-Y fanbase had crushes on her growing up.
ReplyDeletePersonal top 10 divas: Layla, Stacy, Trish, Sunny (1995 vintage), Kelly Kelly, Kristal Marshall, Candice Michelle, Maryse, Christy Hemme, Maria
With Leather put together their own top-50 list, as compiled by 27 of their writers and readers (including, amusingly, Derrick Bateman himself)

Shawn prancing around in his chaps 1997 Shawn, or balding lazy-eyed redneck 2008 Shawn? He hit a wall called drugs and he hit it hard.
ReplyDeleteGod, can you imagine how uncomfortable a conversation between Vince and Pat must be for someone militantly hetero like Triple H?
ReplyDeleteKerry Von Erich? Wasn't Vince tripping over himself in the early '80s to figuratively (ahem...) get his hands on the Von Erichs?
ReplyDeleteAlso, for as awful as she's become, no Missy Hyatt? I honestly can't think of any valet in a major North American promotion that was hotter than she was from '91 through '95. You can't tell me she doesn't deserve to be on there more than The Kat. I'd even put Madusa over The Kat.
I'm on a wrestling forum on a friday debating the merits of a list based on the fifty most beautiful wrestlers.
ReplyDeleteThat's still considered a casual fan who only watches once in a while right?
How hetero can you be if you've banged Chyna?
ReplyDeleteMolly being on the list justifies it's existence. Now, she's not as high as I'd like, but she's a more "niche" choice than the Trish/Torrie "Fitness Model with abs & implants" look that's usually more popular with the Baywatch crowd, so I'm a bit surprised that she was there at all.
ReplyDeleteYeah, as Hyatte once said: "You like to fuck muscular women in the ass; you're gay."
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to argue over "X should be where Y is" cause that's a matter of taste and a stupid fucking argument, the list is subjective and arguing quality is just dumb.
ReplyDeleteBut...this list is flawed for other reasons. First of all, men and women being on the same list is a strange choice. Also, having rookies like Kaitlyn against people who have had a full career like Miss Elizabeth seems a little unfair, especially since they're not just considering just physical attributes here (which is another issue I'll get to later) the desirability of people is affected by the angles and storylines and what they were allowed to show. Cowboy Hat Trish is not as desirable as a Seven Time Women's Champ Trish, cause we...well got attached to Trish and her story, I mean, on pure physique, you could make an argument that Michelle McCool is more attractive than AJ, but I think I know who everybody who finds women attractive here would pick.
In a related issue to that, I don't know on what factors they're picking on. Is it the physical? Or are we including that ephemeral sexiness that even some ugly people have (the Kavorka, if you will). Based on polls of actual wrestling fans, CM Punk is like...the number one guy for any female smark. And if we're going by money drawn cause of their hotness it'd probably be Jeff or Shawn.
I dunno, it's a neat idea for a list, but poorly done, in my opinion.
Molly Holly was underratedly hot.
ReplyDeleteNo idea if this question has been brought up on the blog or not(probably has)
ReplyDeleteBut what do chicks see in CM Punk?
But she had a HUGE ASS and was thus not hot /wwe
ReplyDeleteMoney
ReplyDeleteHER ASS WASN'T EVEN THAT HUGE!
ReplyDeleteHe's confident, funny and he's also quite handsome. Also plenty of girls find the tattoos and piercings hot.
ReplyDeleteDefine "THAT".
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. Of course I'm referring to younger Shawn. The guy was Sunny for the female demo.
ReplyDeleteOkay, you're winning at least a few fans now. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeletea better list with an explanation of how it was compiled:

its*
ReplyDeleteno apostrophe.
Also your demo.
ReplyDeleteThis is like the second or third time you have called Punk handsome...
ReplyDeleteIm just sayin...
He would have been even higher, but they split his up -- his hair was at #52, just barely edged out by Kevin Nash's hair at #51.
ReplyDeleteLook at the picture they use for Triple H.
ReplyDeleteWhen has he EVER looked like that?
Nash's hair should have been number #1. Jericho getting to cut it off should have been a bigger deal than someone ending the Streak.
ReplyDeleteOne of the biggest stars of the 30s and 40s. Probably a nod towards the older guys. Here's a picture.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.google.ca/imgres?q=jim+londos&num=10&hl=en&tbo=d&biw=1366&bih=595&tbm=isch&tbnid=wEAgI55FPsZB4M:&imgrefurl=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Londos&docid=q3SiqGjy53uHVM&imgurl=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2a/Jim_Londos.jpg&w=184&h=300&ei=h4a6UNexJuK7ygHOrYDIAg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=2&vpy=74&dur=5268&hovh=240&hovw=147&tx=47&ty=104&sig=112489724037970547522&page=1&tbnh=141&tbnw=80&start=0&ndsp=32&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:84
Even bigger than ending the streak was when Kevin Nash ended his grey streak at Royal Rumble 2001!
ReplyDeleteOh definitely back then. But today unfortunately, he looks like a middle aged lesbian.
ReplyDeleteYou're just saying that I'm secure enough in myself to compliment another man's appearance?
ReplyDeleteIf you had any balls, you'd admit that Shawn Michaels was a very sexy man, but you don't, so you won't.
No. Im just saying one time is enough.
ReplyDeleteWe get it... You think Punk is sexy, pfft whatevz.
Chicks dig assholes.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you're keeping track of how many times I've said a wrestler is attractive makes me a little suspicious of you.
ReplyDeleteYou jealous Fuj?
Yeah, it was at worst above average and made her pear-shaped. But according to the WWF brass that meant she was monstrously huge and needed to be made fun of, or short from afar on bikini shoots. Could you imagine what that kind of junk in the trunk would've looked like in a thong? THEY ROBBED US OF SEEING THAT.
ReplyDeleteGrammar Nazi behavior is frowned upon, good sir, especially on blog posts.
ReplyDelete...yes
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Fuj, Punk may be the king of my heart, but you're still the king of this blog, regardless of what Scott may say...or rather, not say. #Fuj4President
ReplyDeletePity faps could of been had.
ReplyDeleteAgree on Missy, she was the hottest thing on the planet in the early 90s (next to Alyssa Milano of course). Hell if Sunny can be on this list, considering how she looks now, Missy should be as well. And WTF with Orton at 2? Seriously, might as well be Cowboy Bob over Randy. Just saying.
