Sorry if my post sounded like i meant, if you have a good body to show some skin as it wasnt meant that way. What i meant was if your body shape is good, wearing baggy clothes or odd colours together is going to make it look bad. I don't need them to show off lots of skin, just to wear stuff more suiting to them. Nikki Roxx is someone else whose attire i dispise, when she is a really good looking woman. Her pics from 7+8 tapings looked good as she was in pants and suited them a lot. Some women suit pants better than shorts, I've always preferred WWE's Victoria in her Pyscho attire with Pants than her Dancing look she had in 2004.

I'm not really a fan of Rox's regular attire either.

I like Roxx's top and hotpants lol I don't think the pants suit her, it didn't help that it was purple/white splashes.

I don't think this thread is derogatory at all, no one is using demeaning words to describe these women and its only natural to see that they are all beautiful in one way or another. They are sexy for other reasons than just physicality and the focus in Shimmer will always be on the wrestling aspect so I don't have a problem with this thread.

Oh IGBY, a personal attack, very mature.
But I'm with DORR on this. What I am sick off is people thinking that the only way a women's sport can get over is putting a pretty face on it (re: the Women's World Cup Team). Wrestlers come in all shapes and sizes. If we put these standard on the men. Then Dusty Rhodes, Sgt. Slaugther, Roddy Piper, Brian Kendick, Paul London, AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels would not have made it. Or Eddie Guerrero, may he rest in peace, been a world champion.
The bottom line, the problem I have with this thread is that it still shows that men have not accepted women as the artists, wrestlers, athletes and equals that they are. Shimmer proves that a roster full of good soild women wrestlers can make a pomotion work. Yes as DORR said having a look is important but that can't be what the worker is all about. Looks is what the women's division is all about and Trish Status had to retire because none of the other 'workers' knew how to take of her in the ring. Lita whecked her body because she never took the time to protect herself in the ring. The women in Shimmer are good soild workers and put together soild matches, sell moves, and tell a story in the ring. It is not about prancing around the ring and posing.
If you put this on another forum I wouldn't have a problem, but it is on a forum that is about a promotion that stresses the art and wrestling before the look. The look is part of the package. Not all of the package.
Now for your attack on me. Like I said very mature, I have a right to express my ideals just like everyone else. My point is that this thread should not be on this forum. BTW the way my fav workers in shimmer.
Malia Hosaka- The most underrated wrestler of all time. She can get heat like no other and she still take bumps like no other. To bad shimmer came along after her prime.
Melissa- I will never call her cheerleader, tough, agressives and works a match like no other.
MsChif- The most unique look in wrestling today. The green hair helps too. Hard worker and delivers every move with a snap.
K-nox- Not a great build but a good worker. She also works the crowd good too. Hopefully her injury time off will help her to learn to take care of herself a little better.

I completely accept the SHIMMER ladies (and women in general) as 'artists, wrestlers, athletes and equals'. but i also think they're sexy. and i think it's fun to talk about it. i can't say i really understand your attitude. why does my thinking they're sexy mean i don't respect them as athletes? why are the two things mutually exclusive? would you be happier if i just thought they were sexy but didn't say anything about it? i think that kind of repression is unhealthy. i'm just being a red-blooded heterosexual man and i won't be apologizing for that. sorry if you don't like it

Nah, Kendrick, London and Styles definately would have made it. They are the smexy ...'specially Londrick. Okay, not so much Styles and Kendrick is a just a preference (he's HIGHLY preferred). Only London would have made it (with the long hair and modeling audition photos) if we apply the female standards to him.
The "Sexy" thing is always going to work it's way in with womens' sports.. ...it's just a price to pay for being female playing to an audience of "hot blooded heterosexual (or bisexual. ..although they tend to have more respect because they don't have to proclaim their orientation every thirty minutes) males".
Funny thing is, this doesn't show up on joshi boards.
How about this. ...I think Amazing Kong is sexy because she's dominating.
A little more wrestling discussion is all I ask.

That's why your great DORR because you can get right to the point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A thread like this would NEVER show up on a joshi board.
I'm not asking you to apologize Igby, I'm asking to understand why you feel you have to propel the stereotype of the "hot red-blooded heterosexual male".
