You have to be jealous of those belts wrapped around their waists.

Wrestling has long had a problem with objectifying women. No, really, it has. There was a time when female personnel existed on screen almost entirely for titillation alone. A woman wrestler's worth was directly proportional to how pretty the sexist elements of WWE's back-room staff found them.

Thankfully, times have changed, and though the company isn't shy about promoting beautiful ladies, the focus is now squarely on their ability between the ropes. There is still a long way to go, but it's a promising start.

With the spotlight being shone so brightly on the ladies for so long, maybe it's time to start objectifying the men a bit. After all, most of them perform in the most revealing of outfits, and many of them are chosen to head the company based on their appealing physiques. But rarely is it the sole focus of the commentary team.

So in the interest of parity, here are the sexiest World Champions of all time. Taste is subjective, mind.

11. Randy Orton

If you were to go on a character creation suite in a video game and choose the 'default' setting, Randy Orton is what you'd get. What does that tell us? That he's generic?

No. It tells us he is the perfect model of a man, the embodiment of humanity in its purest form.

Would it be the worst thing to be RKO'd outta' nowhere by this particular viper?

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
