10 People Who Had No Business In Professional Wrestling

3. Half Of The Diva Search Contestants

Maybe half is being generous. Seventy percent? Ninety percent?

Few things in the history of WWE have been so frustratingly awful as the Diva Search. The contest was composed of sexist skits on TV making the hopeful women wrestlers (the majority having no wrestling experience whatsoever) look sleazy. They were made to seduce male wrestlers, strip, insult each other, dance, play dodgeball, compete in obstacle courses, and were encouraged to wear tight, skimpy clothing.

Now, to be fair, there was some good talent that came out of the Divas search like Maria, Layla, Maryse, Eve and Michelle McCool. But then, there were the rest. Look at a few of the others who who were hired and competed in the ring: Candice Michelle, Ashley Massaro, Lena Yada, and Rosa Mendes. Then there were the dozens of others who were never seen or heard from again inside of a wrestling ring.

The vast majority of the contestants had backgrounds in modeling. It was a strange concept, as there are plenty of of beautiful women wrestlers out there who would have loved the opportunity, but were looked over for women who seemed to have entered on a whim. Mercifully the competition no longer exists, as it was truly one of the worst recurring things the company has ever put on air.
