If you want that, go watch a hardcore indy fed. Those things don't happen anymore because most people simply got tired of them. How does going through a table improve a storyline? Explain that to me. It's a spot and that's it. It's mindless violence for the sake of mindless violence. I can go out and put someone through a table. Does that mean I can wrestle a 20 minute match? Of course not.
Sure she does and she looks damn good doing it. However, who's the biggest named diva to do Playboy that's currently in the company? Candice I suppose. Compare her to Trish or Lita, who are by far and away the most accomplished wwe women of oh probably the last 20 years. They dressed the same way Kelly does and never did playboy. They went over farther than Kelly ever will. And the reason they did so: they have talent. Kelly has some, but having her pose nude isn't going to make her a better worker.
Im pretty sure no one got tired of them, as long as they were being used correctly/appropriately. Remember how excited everyone got when ECW was brought back? All of the Hardcoreness! Everyone wass looking forward to it- and then they found out it was nothing like the original hardcore ECW, so it tanked. My point is, I know you cant base a company around spotfests, but I'm not asking for them either. I want more edginess/unpredicabilty with more superstars willing to (if need be) "snap" and do brutal things like they used to.
And your point about Playboy, again its not because anyone is dying to see new Diva nude pics, its just that they do sell and its good for the company and the divas who do it end up being very happy about doing it. Wrestlezone reported that that has now stopped due to the PG rating. Im not debating whether or not its good for their careers, im just saying that it should be an option for them and the WWE if they want it to be. If they want to do it, a stupid new rating that has only watered down the overall quality of what the product COULD BE should not be there to stop them.
