Ghosts!

There cannot be too many compliments that mean more than ‘diva’. If a woman is called a diva, she is being called divine, because the root of diva is the Latin ‘divus’, or divine. It celebrates how talented and outstanding the woman is. Singers, stars, artists are all referred to as divas, and now, so are the beauties of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

Among the sexiest female celebrities in the world, WWE divas are also among the most entertaining athletic performers of the new era. The best known WWE divas of our time include Candice Michelle, Maria Kanellis, Torrie Wilson, Jillian Hall, Melina Perez, Beth Phoenix and Victoria. Intense training is very much a part of their daily lives and they are quite adept at putting on a thrilling and energised show for the audience.

But WWE divas did not always put on a show this way. Though they were always lovely, their in-ring action used to be severely limited. They used to act as valets to popular male competitors, accompanying them to the ring and often, giving them some, not strictly legal, but infinitely entertaining, help. Stars like the Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage had valets of this sort. The first WWE divas to garner attention as wrestlers were the likes of Trish Stratus, Sensational Sherri Martel, Miss Elizabeth, Sunny, Sable and Terri Runnel. Terri and Trish became celebrated as pro wrestlers in their own right.

Divas have come and gone and it’s been rough-and-tumble for them throughout the years. The most famous WWE title for female wrestlers is appropriately named WWE Women‘s Title. These WWE divas have made women’s wrestling so popular that ambitious young contestants flock the annual WWE Diva Search competition with hopes of becoming the next diva.

WWE divas participate in regular wrestling entertainment events, such as Smackdown, Raw, ECW and Pay-Per-View. The wrestling has also taken a more unconventional form, with pudding and gravy bowl matches, lingerie pillow fights and bikini battle royals. These wrestling divas attract many wrestling fans and casual observers, because of their eye-appeal.

The reigning WWE Raw Women’s Championship title holder is Mickie James, who was awarded the title on 14th April 2008.

WWE has three brands, or shows, every week, each with its own roster – RAW, Smackdown and ECW. Professional wrestling is more than just a sport, it’s also a form of entertainment of the same level as performing arts, requiring as much dedication and training from its athletes. It is also a drama that unfolds every day. WWE is the biggest pro wrestling promoter in the world.
