Top 10 Sexiest WWE Divas
Buxom blondes and busty brunettes command the attention of wrestling fans just as much as the high-flying moves and grappling action that goes on in the ring.
But with so many sexy stunners having graced Vince McMahon's company over the years,who would make up an all-time WWE Diva Top 10 ?
The criteria is simple.
The woman who has appeared on WWE television - from the legendary Fabulous Moolah to the lovely Katie Lea Burchill - was eligible.
These are ranked here as the ones fancied the most...
10. Sensational Sherri
Throughout her career, Martel competed in the American Wrestling Association (AWA) and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) as Sherri Martel, the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) as Sensational Sherri, Sensational Queen Sherri, Peggy Sue, and Scary Sherri, and in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as Sensuous Sherri and Sister Sherri.
One of her trademark characteristics was being one of the first women to wear face paint to the ring.
She ruled the division for 15 months but rose to prominence by feuding with Miss Elizabeth two years later.
Cornering Macho Man Randy Savage towards the end of the 80's, she also managed The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase but is perhaps best remembered for the role she played in helping Shawn Michaels become a main event superstar.
9. Terri Runnels
Runnels began her professional wrestling career in World Championship Wrestling as Miss Alexandra York, manager of the York Foundation. After six years, she joined the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), where she worked for another eight years. In the early years of her career with the WWF, she managed her real-life husband Dustin Runnels (known on-screen as Goldust) and was a member of the Pretty Mean Sisters alliance.
Runnels eight-year stint with the WWE is best remembered for her smouldering displays as the manager of real-life husband Goldust.
The oddball pair shocked and amused fans with their eccentric antics, with Dustin Rhodes' cross-dressing character often playing second fiddle to the cigar-smoking vixen by his side.
During her time with the WWF, she briefly held the WWE Hardcore Championship. After leaving the wrestling business, Runnels became involved in philanthropic work.
8. Sunny
She also performed under her own name in Extreme Championship Wrestling, World Championship Wrestling and Ring of Honor.
Arguably the WWE's first real sexpot, Sunny first appeared on our screens as part of The Body Donnas in 1995.
She soon ditched partner Skip to carve her own niche in the WWE, first managing Farooq and then later on the Legion of Doom 2000.
The blonde bombshell won two Slammy Awards for 'Best Buns' and 'Best Manager' during her five-year stint with the promotion.
7. Maria Kanellis
Her on-screen romance with Santino Marella two years ago raised her profile even further, but she hit the big time last April as the latest Diva to peel off for Playboy.
6. Stacy Keibler
She began her professional wrestling career as a part of the Nitro Girls in WCW. She quickly moved on to a more prominent role in the company as the manager Miss Hancock. As Miss Hancock, she was known for doing table dances, her relationship with David Flair, and a pregnancy angle. After WCW was purchased by WWE, she moved to the new company, taking part in the Invasion storyline and managing the Dudley Boyz. Keibler also managed Test and Scott Steiner. Before her departure, she was affiliated with Rosey and The Hurricane and nicknamed Super Stacy.
Keibler was a contestant on the second season of Dancing with the Stars, where she placed third. She has also appeared on other American Broadcasting Company (ABC) shows such as What About Brian, George Lopez, and October Road. In addition, she has done modeling, appearing in both Maxim and Stuff.
Keibler is known for her forty-two inch long legs. She has been known as both "The Legs of WCW" and "The Legs of WWE". During her time on Dancing with the Stars, judge Bruno Tonioli nicknamed her "The Weapon of Mass Seduction" because of her dancing skills and long legs.
5. Miss Elizabeth
Elizabeth was always classy rather than sexy, but Macho Man's missus was truly the original Diva.
From the Mega Powers Explosion to her wedding to Randy Savage - she was at the centre of all that was good from 1988-1991.
4. Kelly Kelly
3. Torrie Wilson
As a fitness competitor, Wilson won the Miss Galaxy competition in 1998. Shortly after, she was signed by World Championship Wrestling, where she stayed from 1999 until 2001. In 2001, she began appearing on World Wrestling Federation (WWF) television as part of The Invasion storyline. Her most high profile storyline took place in 2003 when she feuded with Dawn Marie. Wilson has also been a part of the all-female stable, or group of affiliated wrestlers, known as Vince's Devils, which ended its run in 2006.
Aside from wrestling, Wilson has been on the cover of several magazines, including FHM and Playboy, which she posed for twice
2. Sable
Before gaining popularity in the world of professional wrestling, Mero worked as a model for L'Oréal, Pepsi, and Guess?. Along with her second husband Marc Mero, she began working for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1996. As Sable, she was one of the first WWE Divas, and she gained considerable popularity, surpassing that of her husband. After feuding with Luna Vachon, and Jacqueline, Sable became the second WWF Women's Champion after the title was reinstated into the company. After becoming a heel and leaving the company, Mero filed a $110 million lawsuit against the company, citing allegations of sexual harassment and unsafe working conditions.
In 2003, she returned to the newly renamed World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) where she was put into a storyline feud with Torrie Wilson, and another storyline as Vince McMahon's mistress. In 2004, she left the company to spend more time with her family.
Outside of wrestling, Mero has been featured on the cover of Playboy three times. The April 1999 issue of the magazine with her on the cover was one of the highest selling issues in Playboy history. She has also guest starred on several television series, including Pacific Blue. She also appeared in the film Corky Romano.
1. Trish Stratus
After beginning her career as a fitness model, Stratus began working for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which was later renamed World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), in March 2000. Early in her career, she was involved in sexually themed storylines, such as managing the team T & A and an affair with Vince McMahon. As Stratus spent more time in the ring, her wrestling skills and popularity strengthened. Because of this, she was a one-time WWE Hardcore Champion, three-time "WWE Babe of the Year" and was proclaimed "Diva of the Decade". After nearly seven years in the business, Stratus retired from wrestling on September 17, 2006 after winning her seventh WWE Women's Championship, the most in WWE history.
Aside from professional wrestling, Stratus modeled for and appeared on numerous magazine covers and has been involved in charity work. She has also been the host of several award and television shows, including Stratusphere in 2008.
