11 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About WrestleMania

8. Santina Winning The Divas Battle Royal At WrestleMania 25

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eOZ8xkECgw It's another moment where a guy is dressed up as a girl, which is some kind of perverse deal that WWE likes to do way too often. At the 25th WrestleMania, they decided that they wanted to have a battle royal with 25 women. There were all the current divas in the match as well as some former ones like Sunny and Molly Holly. Trish Stratus was apparently asked to return for it, but she had the good sense to turn it down. One of the smartest decisions of her career. The Santina angle was just a stupid storyline they did to try to add personality to the Divas division that really needed it. Why use a comedy figure dressed up like a woman? No idea. It was just WWE's way of doing things. Instead of putting over one of the good hard working women on the roster like Michelle McCool, Mickie James, Melina or Beth Phoenix, it was Santina that emerged as the winner. Amazingly, nobody had the sense to think how stupid the gimmick was and pull the plug on it because the Santina gimmick actually continued after this. It wouldn't be a stretch to say it's one of the worst matches in wrestling history.
