Before the dawn of the PG Era, it wasn't uncommon for the Divas to engage in a match-up that would end with the humiliation of their opponents and the expanding of their own vanity: the Bra & Panties Match! When the PG Era took over, this popular match type was one of the first things to vanish along with the Evening Gown Match and their distant cousins the Lingerie Match, the Paddle-on-a-Pole Match, and every match ever contested in a trough of mud, gravy, eggnog, or pudding. Although the PG Era may have killed the more risque matches, that doesn't mean we can't pay homage to them. Here we will be counting down WWE's Top 22 Most Titillating T&A Matches. Matches that got everyone's hearts racing and even had us laughing a time or two. Just to make things clear, we are only taking into account matches, not Bikini Contests or Swimsuit Competitions.
22. A RAW Homecoming
October 3rd, 2005: WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus & Ashley Massaro defeated Vince's Devils (Victoria, Candice Michelle, & Torrie Wilson) in the first-ever 3-on-2 Handicap Bra & Panties Match during the RAW Homecoming on the USA Network.
21. Fulfill Your Fantasy, Part. II
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viRmVAOfVzg November 1st, 2005: WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus retains her title against Victoria, Candice Michelle, Maria Kanellis, Ashley Massaro, & Mickie James in a "Fulfill Your Fantasy" Battle Royal at Taboo Tuesday. The fans had the option of voting for what the Divas got to wear. The selections were cheerleader outfits, leather and lace, and lingerie. Lingerie won out. On a side note, what the hell is up with Candice's footwear?
20. Undress To Impress
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=mY-Q7JW0PyY#t=295 March 14th, 2004: Playboy Cover Girls Sable & Torrie Wilson (representing SmackDown!) defeated Miss Jackie Gayda & Stacy Keibler (representing RAW) in the first-ever Tag Team Playboy Evening Gown Match after Torrie pinned Jackie at WrestleMania XX. At the beginning of the match, Sable announced that she and Torrie felt restricted in their gowns and they had opted to start off the match with their gowns off. Even though traditional rules meant that the object of the match was to strip your opponents of theirs. I don't think the fans cared about the rules in this instance.
19. These Chicks Be Thirsty!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtQhrrDSnCM December 21st, 2001: Torrie Wilson defeated Stacy Keibler in the first-ever Eggnog Match by pinfall during an episode of RAW IS WAR. I hate eggnog ... bleh! And the poor referees always get messy in these kinds of matches.
