So here is My next update which is still in the same time frame as My last showcase of My
RAC Hogan & Aikman special. As you saw this will feature women and it will be a bit of a refresh cause the majority of this topic has been all men and I love talking about them so let's talk about the ladies for a while
This special is of My
2011 WWE Divas Calendar Magazine that I got in around
2014 on
eBay cause I regretted not getting it when I saw it at My local
Schnucks on
Gravois & Hampton (seen in My topics). At first glance this seriously reminds Me of when the
WWF used to have their awesome
WWF Posters Magazines at the newsstands back in the
early 90s. So since the
PG Era had to happen thanks to an unfortunate incident that most people do not know the whole shocking truth of in the
mid 2000s, the
WWE product has been so-so & questionable to many fans including Myself. There wasn't many wrestling magazines back in the
2010s and especially now with some good looking female wrestlers. Well this one is great then I do have My mixed emotions about it and I'll tell you why. Now as a lover of women and not really that hard to satisfy, I am going to be a bit critical within reason here about the
Front Cover and it's always been an issue ever since I laid My hands on it and took a gander at that nice picture. So there's four babes here and all of I know. First we have
Michelle McCool, Eve Torres, Rosa Mendes & Kelly Kelly. Now when you look at it looks like a really fun
Magazine cause there's women here in bikinis. Well really this
cover isn't as creative as it could have been cause their all basically blondes, even
Eve is of a darker blonde whom is a Latina. I have always been a man of diversity and even though
Rosa is a more of Latina, she is a blonde here too (which I think Latina's should stick to their natural black hair color unless you color it Blue like
Sasha Banks did, now that matched her skin tone and looked neat & hot, same thing with Black people, that trending red nowadays looks awful IMO) so it looks like all four women are blending and colliding here. I believe it would have looked much better if there was blonde, a brunette, a redhead and raven haired or even more of a diverse selection there this a Asian & Black women featured within this books roster. Since this
cover is like this, this screams only one thing at Me and it's screaming
Vinnie Mac with
Kevin Dunn's influence cause they love blondes (the future
Charlotte Flair & Liv Morgan etc.) It was their way or no way. So that is My gripe of this
front cover. Don't get Me wrong, it looks great, even in a toned down
2011 that would allow the following years to be toned down even further it still looks quite enticing. I hope it caught at least 1 young teenage boy's attention of wanting women instead of falling for the current androgynous era that is upon us now
The price was
$9.99 in
2010, the price hikes started threatening then and four or so years later when I got it on the
Bay I paid
$8.99 with shipping brand new so really I couldn't beat that
On the price it says please display until
12/20/10, I believe I saw this magazine a bit after that. Take a gander of what I was talking about via clicking My huge pics in a new tab to see all of the details
NOTE: Each
month has special
WWE PPV dates &
Trivia & more So first in this
WWE Divas 2011 Calendar Magazine we are greeted by
Kelly Kelly. I wasn't a fan of her then and I'm still not. Every time I see
Alexa Bliss I see a big resemblance here because of her eyes and smile.
Kelly Kelly smiled, smiled, smiled, it's really annoying
Beth Phoenix is
February and she's better but I was never a huge fan of her either though she does make a good commentator. Ah,
March is
Maryse, now we're talkin', I loved her then and she's still great. I just loved how cool she is and she has such a great sultrous beauty about her. Her accent is sweet and she easily one of the most beautiful women ever in
WWE, dang if she would have won more titles In fact really when you look at her she could have fit in the
Attitude Era and I know she would have done fine
So next we have 3 Latinas or make that four of'em which I love Latinas
First we have
Melina for
April. She was truly remarkable for her time here with her sexy splits and her exotic looks but I'm afraid that the time of
2011 was closing in and stuff like that just didn't wow or entice guys anymore and the forced
PG Era was not helping one bit. She appears on
WWE TV now and then as a Legend of sorts and they really make her a clumsy has-been of a joke out of her and that isn't right
Next for
May we have the gorgeous
Eve Torres. I found her really sweet and such a gifted wrestler. She truly had one of the best bodies yet she really didn't take it quite seriously especially in her last days in the
WWE and then becoming an actress
For
June is the
Bella Twins Nikki & Brie. Like the
USOs I never could tell them apart till they no longer became identical siblings due to incidents and whatnot. I really digged them with their "loser" gestures and twin magic gimmick.
Nikki was My fave of the two later just not because of his new body shape and the reason how I could tell who was who but also I think she was a better wrestler, more powerful and didn't botch stuff like her sister. In recent times I got so tired of their drama with
Daniel Bryan & John Cena (
Cena was so stupid & rotten the way he used
Nikki) and all that about motherhood and all that bum-steer. I don't give a Rat's @$$ about that reality TV stuff as it just ruins what they established, like they think they gotta have comedy in every film, if I wanted to see comedy I'll watch a comedy...well if I want to see realty TV I'll see one of the
Love Island shows
Real Housewives or whatever
I must say that they were arguably the coolest female due since the days of
Trish & Lita So moving to
July is none other than
The Undertaker's wife
Michele McCool. I was never a fan of her though she is one of the most impressive female wrestlers to ever step foot in a wrestling ring. She's still got it too, it's a shame she hasn't made a full comeback
For
August we have her tag team partner
Layla of one of the most dynamic and radical female teams of all-time
LayCool that is undoubtedly the true precursor for many women wrestlers today such as
Toxic Attraction & the Baddies Layla was a really good one and a totally beautiful
Moroccan Brit. She was a very underrated champion as well and really I miss her. Ah for
September is
Rosa Mendes. Now as I said before in My major
Vinnie Mac & Kevin Dunn rant above I do not prefer Latinas to be blonde, they need have their natural darn raven hair. With that being said
Rosa was one of the hottest Latinas EVER
I absolutely digged how she looked and was with her team
The Shinning Stars/The Colons. I mean how sultry & exotic she looked and how sexy she danced I mean she was such hot stuff but again the
PG Era just ruins this greatness to go any further and I was thinking this even back then how much I missed the
Attitude Era So after this and her nice yet questionable stint with
Adam Rose she was really fading away cause it looked like she just wasn't being serious enough in the ring, wrestling like an amateur and not even the likes of a jobber/enhancement talent then she retired, became a mother and all that and that was so disappointing because I thought that she had the potential of so much yet did so little and this has always been a big issue with Me about her
As
October begins
Alicia Fox is greeting you. I thought she was really good for a while and it was kinda fresh that she was a black woman which helps along the diversity of the roster. In recent times however her cool lunatic gimmick really fell flat and she was just disappointing cause she'd lose all of matches and act nuts and nothing to show for it
She shows up for a legends appearance (which like
Phoenix & The Bellas, its way too soon for that much less to become a
HOFer November arrives with
Natalya Neidhart, I always liked her, just not because she's a
Hart Family Member but because she is a good wrestler and has a very unique beauty about her and has a really good personality. However sometimes I really get sick of her losing despite she's calling herself the
B.O.A.T. So the last month of the year
2011 stars none other than
Gail Kim which is a great refreshing face since she is Asian particularity Korean which like Latinas, I really like Asians arguably even more
She just didn't look sexy, she was a really a great wrestler but gosh, she really didn't shine as much as she could've in the
WWE, that shinning would be in
TNA where she absolutely proved she was one of the greatest that ever laced up the boots
I don't ever expect her to show up in
WWE much less be a
WWE HOFer cause she hated her time there and she left on bad terms from what I understand. I loved watching her and miss her sweet wrestling style, her mean demeanor and really there hasn't been anyone like her before nor since
So now it's a
bonus section of an extended
Calendar of
January, February, March & April 2012 which is odd cause many
calendars has the previous months before the new year starts
There's a few unnamed
divas including
Tamina Snuka.There is the
credits which is so far different how it was with the
90s WWF & Raw Magazines. There's the
answers to the
calendar trivia with
WWE HOFers that most are male. The
Back Cover shows you all of the
12 Months of 2011 and all the great looking
Divas/Women that gloriously was within them which is cool as it shows you what your getting for everybody to see what great stuff is in store for them and so the consumer doesn't complain otherwise
As a
special bonus here is 2 of the
WWE magazine ad/subscriber inserts that I didn't pull out. One is for the regular
WWE Magazine and the other is for
WWE Kids. Now I was never a subscriber of these though I was a loyal subscriber to
WWF & Raw Magazine for over a decade before the
WWE era began as well as
WCW Magazine till it ended. I do have a handful of
WWE Magazines and as well as
WWE Kids. Though I was into My 30s when I got them, it didn't matter what age I was or what age it was aimed for, I still liked them cause it was
WWE so I was collecting them. Then
Vinnie Mac came up with the brilliant idea to cancel the whole entire publication and I got really p!$$ed off over this I mean
WWF/WWE Magazine was arguably the best and most exciting
magazine you could look at & read it not to mention feel those wonderful feeling covers
He made a ton of bad decisions throughout the history of
Titan Sports & WWF/WWE and this unquestionable is one of his worse IMO and what a darn shame that people don't talk about it and the history it had
So that will do it for this special, I hope you liked it and maybe were even surprised. I will have some more great
modern wrestling stuff coming soon. In the mean time you can check out My recent
RAC Hogan & Aikman special as well as so much more within this great topic of Mine
Until then I'll see you around
