I'm not a fan of male wrestlers in speedos, fyi. Put some pants on, Batista. I came to watch wrestling, not a breeding ground for gay jokes.
As for TNA's eye candy, even their eye candy dresses more modestly than some of the Divas. And yes, what they wear DOES matter. Everyone I know pretty much refuses to watch a women's wrestling match, because they know it'll just be some overly sexified embarassment to professional wrestling. How am I supposed to go and tell them "wait, watch them in action, trust me, they're really talented!" when it's two girls in latex lingerie in the ring? An emphasis on women's wrestling means dressing in realistic athletic attire (Jaqueline), or something decent that suits the gimmick (ODB, Roxxi). Hell, even in TNA's eye candy department, The Beautiful People - the girls with a slut GIMMICK - dress modestly enough. SALINAS of all people wears pants most of the time. When I see that, I know the women's division is being taken seriously and that all emphasis is put on some badass wrestling with real storylines to back it up. When I see a girl out there in a bra and shortshorts, pulling splits to get into the ring, using the MuffStuff Submission Hold, I don't care if the big one can pull off a delayed fisherman's suplex and neither do the casual viewers who decided to see if WWE has gotten around to taking women seriously yet. All they see is more annoying sexualization, and then they change the channel.
Obviouisly were not going to agree on this, lol, and thats fine. But ill put my final opinion.
We all know that TNA has the better womens division, its jyst the way it is. And WWE in the past has been guilt of using ALOT of eye candy. And now, they are improving. They arent as good as TNAs women division, which is fine, but at least they're improving.
And you seemed to say they only have the two good wrestlers, but I disagree. I think they have a good core of actual wrestlers. Again, consisting of Mickie, Michelle, Melina, beth, Natalya, Victoria and Katie Lea.
Thats a good core of proper wrestlers.
And theres a few others who arent on that level but that can still wrestle.(Ashley, Candice)
The only eye candy is Kelly Kelly, Maria, Maryse and thats basically it. But that doesnt effect the division because they dont wrestler. The ones in the singles matches and the ones who do most of the wrestling in tag matches can all wrestle pretty well for the womens division.
Now as far as looks, theres nothing wrong with looking good. But it seems your talking about the stuff they wear. Well IMO, its pretty equal. To be honest, Im not delighted when Awesome Kong struts the ring in a skirt and then falls over, but I dont hear you getting mad at what she wears.
But in general, the wwe and tna women dress similar.
The eye candies still dont even dress down that much on either show, they both wear pants and a bra-top, although sometimes on wwe they wear skirts. But as far as the wrestlers, Id say its not bad on either side. Most women on both wwe and tna for the most part wear just wrestling tights and a top Nothing wrong with that IMO. But I see that on TNA too, but in general, I dont care which show it is, but I dont have any problems with the outfits. Nothing slutty about what they wear.
Im done now :laugh:
