We don't follow pro wrestling as closely as we did back in the glory days of Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka (those were also the days before we hit puberty, oddly enough)—which is really too bad, because grappling juggernaut WWE has created a boobalicious mini-industry out of its ever-expanding roster of Divas. You know, the girls who provide arm candy for wrestling's top studs, fodder for sexy backstage storylines, and the occasional cat fight? Their other main job seems to be posing for bikini spreads in the WWE's own magazine—which is looking suspiciously like an alternate universe Blender—and if all goes well, graduating to the pages of Playboy. Ashley Massaro is the latest Diva girl to take that route to nudie mag stardom, following in footsteps of past wrestling babes Sable, Chyna, and Torrie Wilson, to become the Rabbit's April 2007 cover girl. The "sport" has certainly come a long way from those Saturday mornings of our youth, and while we will always hold a place in our heart for Miss Elizabeth (R.I.P.), we suppose these modern girls have their charms as well.
