WWE Divas - Entertainment Par Excellence
June 11, 2008 – 3:42 pmThere cannot be too many compliments that mean more than ‘diva’. If a woman is called a diva, she is being called divine, because the root of diva is the Latin ‘divus’, or divine. It celebrates how talented and outstanding the woman is. Singers, stars, artists are all referred to as divas, and now, so are the beauties of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
Among the sexiest female celebrities in the world, WWE divas are also among the most entertaining athletic performers of the new era. The best known WWE divas of our time include Candice Michelle, Maria Kanellis, Torrie Wilson, Jillian Hall, Melina Perez, Beth Phoenix and Victoria. Intense training is very much a part of their daily lives and they are quite adept at putting on a thrilling and energised show for the audience.
WWE divas were not always the centre of attention. The earlier divas were managers, who earned the complimentary title after several years of service. They were there to provide valet-ringside managerial services for professional male wrestlers, such as Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels and Macho Man Randy Savage. The most notable early-day WWE divas are Miss Elizabeth, Sensational Sherri Martel, Tammy Lynn Sytch (Sunny), Rena Mero (Sable), Terri Runnels and Trish Stratus. The latter two entered the arena as managers and later became pro wrestlers themselves.
Unlike male superstars, the ring life for divas is usually much shorter. The best is acknowledged with the WWE Women’s Title. Now, the glamour and strength of the WWE divas is so appealing that every year, the WWE Diva Search attracts thousands of hopeful young ladies.
WWE divas participate in regular wrestling entertainment events, such as Smackdown, Raw, ECW and Pay-Per-View. The wrestling has also taken a more unconventional form, with pudding and gravy bowl matches, lingerie pillow fights and bikini battle royals. These wrestling divas attract many wrestling fans and casual observers, because of their eye-appeal.
Mickie James, one of the toughest female wrestlers, is the WWE Raw Women’s Champion. She won the championship on the 14th of April, 2008.
WWE focuses on professional wrestling of all types and promotes it through three brands - Raw, ECW and SmackDown. Professional wrestling is considered as a simulated sport and performing art, which means it’s a combination of athletic wrestling and dramatics. WWE is the the world’s largest professional wrestling promoter and holds great significance in the sporting world.
