...at least I stick to my generation. LOL Honestly, as much as I enjoyed Smackdown last night, especially Angle and Eddie and Chavo, this Al stuff is making me ill. That and the fact that if they do break up Brock and Paul, I'll go nuts. Seriously. I saw a tape of Summerslam '95 last night, and I saw the PPV debut of Sunny of the Body Donnas (the greatest tag team name EVER) Seriously, she may have paved the way for today's divas, but compared to today, she's no SLUT! Or maybe I missed something here. I know one thing though, almost every diva in WWE has at one point screwed some old guy. That fact alone makes me feel a whole lot better about respecting Sunny at her prime. Sorry, just felt like venting some anger. Opinions are always good to share.

I don't think anyone ever said Sunny was a slut. What she has been called is a crack whore. Go further back and find tapes of Missy Hyatt in the 80's, she is who Sunny stole from in the mid 90's, and who others have stolen from since.
I want you to know, I agree with everything I've just said.

Sunny was during my days as a non-wrestling/occasional WCW fan, so I can't vouch for her. But did they mention her on the show last night and call her a slut? I must have missed that. I'm not sure what you're talking about Ringmistress.

Ah, Sunny... Yes, I would agree that she was really the prototype for today's "Diva", before the bikini, paddle, mud matches, etc. The most controversial thing I can remember her being involved in was some slop bucket fun with the Godwinns. I remember getting my picture taken with her towards the end of her WWF run. She had that "stripper perfume" on. (which any guy will tell you, drives you completely insane) Or so I'm told...

Sorry about that, I had this on my mind since last night. They didn't mention Sunny at all, I was saying I hated the Al thing, then later that night I popped in a tape of Summerslam '95, and I watched the Body Donnas, and I was thinking about Sunny back then in comparison to Dawn and Torrie today, and I thought about how close to slutty did Sunny ever get compared to the two of them. I can't recall Sunny doing it with an old guy, so that's the point of the rant. Hey, when something pisses me off, I type without thinking (too much).
That's alright, but I actually like this whole Dawn-Al-Torrie storyline. Yes the acting is horrible, but that is part of what makes it entertaining. It also makes Dawn seem really sick and twisted and adds a ton of heat to that storyline. If they pay it off well, it could actually end up being one of the better non-wrestling diva feuds/storylines ever and give Dawn Marie a huge heel diva push.
Anytime real-life loved ones get involved in feuds, I think it adds a lot. It doesn't add much acting, but it adds something else.

It's like WWE dangling a shiny gold coin in one hand while giving you an enema with the other, which I'm assuming is quite hard to do, but WWE is pulling it off - SKLOKAZOID
Onscreen, she was certainly not shy about playing up her assets but she was never portrayed as a slut...for men. No, I'm not implying she wasa lesbian but I distinctly remmber her jumping from the BodyDonnas to the Godwinns to the Smoking Gunns every time the tag title change. Much like how The Kat jumped from Jarrett to Chyna when he lost the IC belt. You could say they were sluts for the gold. Although, sluts might be the wrong word. If every woman loves a diamond (or other item of value and beauty), it makes sense that women in wrestling would love the gold belts since they have (or should have) the most actual value.

But a push towards WHAT? The eventual WrestleMania main event showdown between Torrie and Dawn?
Why couldn't this have been, for example, Nidia seducing Kidman's father? At least then that could've led to a match between Kidman and Jamie Knoble.
I was born in a manger, like that other guy. You know, he wore a hat?
Just a simple push toward wanting to see Torrie beat the absolute crap out of Dawn Marie, assuming she could pull off delivering a beating. I remember seeing Steiner put Goldberg's girlfriend in the Steiner Recliner while Goldberg was handcuffed to the turnbuckle and thinking "Man Goldberg is going to absolutely beat the living shit out of him!" If they can do something like that here I think it will be a good feud.

What about Miss Elizabeth? I know it got kinda convoluted at points..especially when Flair and Macho were 'rasslin for her services but I always thought she was a great Diva and told the "story" well.
I always felt her pain when her man was in trouble!
But that's a good thing Lazzlo. Wrestling is meant to be enjoyed, not analyzed. Mind you, it isn't always enjoyable but still--never let your inner mark die.
Has Torrie ever acted like a slut in WWE? She seems like her character is fairly pure. The only current divas I remember acting slutty are Dawn Marie, Nidia, and Trish Stratus
