The Excellent Entertainment Provided By WWE Divas

By Russell M. Stewart

There 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.

But WWE divas did not always put on a show this way. Though they were always lovely, their in-ring action used to be severely limited. They used to act as valets to popular male competitors, accompanying them to the ring and often, giving them some, not strictly legal, but infinitely entertaining, help. Stars like the Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage had valets of this sort. The first WWE divas to garner attention as wrestlers were the likes of Trish Stratus, Sensational Sherri Martel, Miss Elizabeth, Sunny, Sable and Terri Runnel. Terri and Trish became celebrated as pro wrestlers in their own right.

The life of WWE divas have not always been easy. But now, their recognition standards are aptly proven by the WWE Women's Title. These WWE divas have made the sport famous to such an extent that ambitious contestants make their way to the annual WWE Diva Search with hopes of glory.

Now, WWE divas get main billing for their fights and these matches have great drawing power, not the least because of the rather unorthodox nature of these matches. Lingerie pillow fights, bikini battle royals and pudding and gravy bowl matches always attract quite a bit of attention and not just from WWE fans! They participate in regular events such as Smackdown, Raw, ECW and Pay-Per-View.

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.

The Raw, SmackDown and ECW are the main three brands promoted by WWE, which is focused on professional wrestling of every type. Pro wrestling is known to be a simulated sport, a combined art containing athletic wrestling and theatrics. WWE holds great importance in the world's sporting arena and is the largest professional wrestling promoter.
