10 Fascinating WWE SummerSlam 2004 Facts
6. Divas Dodgeball Was The Second Highest-Rated Match On WWE.Com
Ahh, the 2004 Diva Search. Bringer of such profound TV moments as "selling ice cream cones in as seductive manner as possible", and "let's have the Divas swear at each other while the censor can't find the button in time". The entire months-long train wreck was something that even a guest appearance by The Rock couldn't save.
The remaining contestants (sans noted thespian Carmella DeCesare) took part in a game of dodgeball that aired as part of the SummerSlam telecast. The opposition consisted of established WWE Divas, including Stacy Keibler, Jazz, Victoria, and the like.
The veteran women got their clocks cleaned in a rather tedious time-waster. Incredibly, in a WWE.com poll asking fans what their favorite match at SummerSlam was, more than 22 percent picked Divas Dodgeball, second only to Chris Benoit and Randy Orton's 30 percent. For those wondering why it took 11 more years for an earnest attempt at a dignified "Diva's Revolution", look no further than this "market research".
