Hey guys. I was doing some thinking as to whether I wanted to stay committed to WrestleZone throughout this past week. I'm going to really need to buckle down and focus on my schoolwork in the upcoming year, and well, WrestleZone is the reason I don't have a 4.0 GPA right now. I was leaning more towards the side of not staying here, so I decided to start to break my habit early. I'm an addict, though. I can't just quit cold turkey. I suppose this could be saved for another thread where I can explain this in more detail, but long story short, I'll be here. As for this, I hadn't seen your post TM until now. I didn't post all week as I had gone past my deadline. I didn't know if I was still allowed. Now, I'm past the deadline; this will likely be a tie. I'll still throw something up.

The WWE's Usage of Divas in Playboy is a Good Thing
In 1999, WWE Diva Sable was featured on the cover of Playboy Magazine. She was the first. After her issue was met with outstanding success (it remains to this day a best-seller), Playboy and the WWE partnered together. Six more Divas posed after Sable, and it became a yearly tradition. Some called it trashy. I call it opportunity, and here's why:
Divas who would agree to pose for the magazine are given time on-screen, valuable time that they can use to connect with the audience and separate themselves from the pack. Playboy is something that they can work around. Any red-blooded man will cheer for a beautiful woman who takes her clothes off. Being a Playboy Covergirl gives them a tool that they can take advantage of to reach the top of the mountain. Divas who grace the cover of playboy, such as Sable, are often those most "over" with the audience, and more often then not, are placed in programs that span months and culminate in championship opportunities. Stripping down will put you on the fast track to success.
Aside from their wrestling career, a Diva benefits financially. Playboy pays well. Playmates are well off, and covergirls make a pretty penny. Playboy can provide many things: a new car, surgery for a parent, or that cute new handbag. If I could be paid thousands of dollars for taking my pants off, I'd do it in a heartbeat. There's money to be gained for both companies as well.
I can't fathom how any heterosexual man could not want to see these women naked. We've all pictured it, so why is it a bad thing if they help themselves, while treating us?
