Trish has said on numerous occasions she won't do it. Lita has said the samething, so it does shock me to see her as one of the hold outs. Now, Victoria and Dawn Marie is something I have to see. If they get Molly's rump face sitting one of the new divas, I'd new pair of paints in the store. I doubt Molly will do it since she is supposed to be born again, so the chances of that picture being filmed are slim to none. It does beg the question, will it be a pictorial set-up or will have a ton of lesbian overtones like Torrie and Sable. Either way, thats a fine list of ladies and probably my first issue of Playboy I'd pay in years.

Originally posted by GRLVictoria was the biggest surprise for me on the confirmed list.
Not for me. Victoria's given hints in the past that she'd be interested in Playboy if the price is right. I'd say Lilian's more surprising, only because I haven't heard her say that she'd be interested in the past. The rest of the confirmed bunch aren't all that surprising, including Dawn Marie, who did that Sean O'Haire angle a while back.
I'm very surprised Molly Holly is still "negotiating".
The ones I want to see won't be there, and that includes Stephanie, who's actually regained a lot of her 2000 form, judging from photos I saw of her, HHH and the McMahon family from the Blade: Trinity screening in Toronto.

If ever you needed an explanation as to why Vince hired all those losers back, there ya go. (What's the most surprising to me is that right now, the one who's turned out the best is Amy with her role in JBL's Cabinet, and she didn't even make the top 3!)
Also: Am I mistaken, or is this going to be Torrie's THIRD go-around in almost as many years?

I was actually thinking that last night as I watched Christy pretend to be attracted to Jerry Lawler... Amy and Joy both have had prominent roles on Smackdown! recently, while I've barely seen Christy, the ostensible "winner."
Also, it's a little sad that Nidia got fired, since she's probably the one I'd most like to see naked. :(
Molly? Hardcore Christian Molly? The same chick who wouldn't do certain angles because they conflicted with her beliefs? Naked? Wha?
Eh, at least they'll get some value out of the diva search because jeez are they worthless on WWE TV. And I'm kinda surprised Steph didn't wanna do it what with the ginormous implants and all.

The difference is, of course, that while Amy's been in one solid role, they've got poor Joy (my favorite during the Diva Search, and the reason I'll be picking up this issue) bouncing around like a pinball from massage therapist to Thanksgiving hostess to Big Show's date to tossing candy canes.
Can't they just make the women valets anymore?

I wouldn't be surprised if Stephanie had wanted to do it and Triple H put the kibosh on it. And I can respect that: I probably wouldn't want the whole world seeing my girlfriend or wife naked either.
I was under the impression all the Diva Search people were brought in partially because they'd be willing to pose nude (as Trish, Stacy and Lita weren't - at least at that time - and they'd Torrie a couple times) so it kinda surprises me that Maria's even a question. Appearing in Playboy is probably as or more important than getting WWE TV time to their careers, so I'm sure they jumped at the offer.
Meltzer did say a few weeks ago that the reason behind bringing all the women on TV so fast and so sudden was so they'd have new yet somewhat familiar faces for the Divas videos/magazine/whatever stuff in spring '05.
But if they did a playboy magazine shoot with most of the divas nude, wouldn't that defeat the point of the vidoes and all? Unless you're a hardcore Trish or Lita fan and the four/five videos you already have of similiar stuff aren't enough, I'm thinking people will be the nude stuff over the non-nude inhouse stuff. Seems like a little self sabotage.
It doesn't make sense to me for them to, pardon the metaphor, shoot their wad all at once by putting many people in one magazine, too. It's really going to be a case of diminshing returns, unless someone can prove the Sable/Torrie magazine did twice as good as them seperate.
Originally posted by StampedeFan23There's no way that Molly will ever do Playboy. But, if she does, I'll be buying at least 10 copies.
That's probably what they're telling her, which may explain why she's a Maybe instead of a No. People will pay money to see her naked because she has, y'know, dignity and a nice body. They could probably justify tossing her some extra money (within reason) since they think they could sell extra copies.

Originally posted by The GoonIt looks like I'll be getting my first Playboy since Belinda Carlisle posed in August 2001.
I'll call and up the bet to "since Katarina Witt in 1998"
Cause, well, you know...if you have a crush when you're 12-13 you've got a crush for life.

Blanket, would this be a good time to tell you about when I met Katarina years ago and got to talk to her?
Anyhow, give me victoria and Molly nekkid, and I am a happy, happy man, as for the others, I dont care, Maybe Christy Hemmie, she seems like a tom cat!
Somehow though I just picture Molly with a giant 70s style bush. (Mmmmmmm I like bush!)
The Lilian thing is surprising in the sense that she doesn't do all the diva stuff and bikini mags and all that. Then again, she has been described as a bit of a wild child on this board. I'd say she's the one I would look forward to the most, followed closely by Victoria.
Any of the maybes would be awesome, but I really, really hope they add Lita to the mix. I know that probably won't help my rating on this board much, but I'm sitting at a 3.1, so I really don't have a lot to lose by putting that sentiment out there.
Stacy is a bit perplexing. I certainly respect her willingness to not do this, but it just seems kind of odd considering all the other stuff she's shown she's willing to do. I suppose she figures that she'll have special appeal if she's one of the only ones we haven't seen naked, kind of like she has special appeal to me (and probably man others) because she's all real up top.

If that were true, we wouldn't have had to put up with Sable's return or all the current skits to get Torrie in her skivvies.
