My favorite part about The Rock's Pie Eating Contest is that was the last in-ring segment he had until he returned in February 2011.

[@flippy7035]

Squiggles McGiggles he was like: fuck this shit

[@citrusthetoad]

he was that ashamed.

[@EmmettXIV]

that bad

[@jaycerrito3142]

He was also a lot smaller compared to how he looked on his return because I assume he slimmed down in 2004 when he was getting into Hollywood regularly

I feel like it was pretty indicative of how much respect WWE gave the Diva Search when the theme song for it was a song called "Walk Idiot Walk"

[@SpeckyBecky27]

I never thought of that!!

[@GinkgoPete]

That song fuckin slaps tho.

[@marcohavokkhaos]

I'm glad it got to become Christy Hemmes theme song. The Hives are underrated.

[@TakerKaneanite619]

Michelle Mccool definitely had the most success out of everyone else in the competition. Multiple time Champion, and she is married to the most respected man in the history of the business

[@Venemofthe888]

TakerKaneanite619 absolutely I'd say Bella twins come a close 2nd and eve in 3rd.

[@tobznoobs]

how about Maria she made the first lady bitchy heel work in the indy's and now is trying it back in the wwe, 4th? 5th most successful?

[@Venemofthe888]

Chris Tanada I'd say 5th cause that's all she's done while others have done more achievements. hell having a daughter is a big life achievement

[@reddragon0624]

And she was actually a pretty decent worker

[@SAM-ru4vx]

so this is proof that total divas was nothing but a dating contest.

[@Maximus4587]

[@reddragon0624]

Maximus4587 well we all know how much of a sexist Vince is

[@Maximus4587]

@Nick Hughes A fitting punishment for one of the most hated men in wrestling as far as I'm concerned...

[@SnipingIsFun]

Burned Frozen Well the women who can wrestle shouldn't be put in crap like that

[@CherryVanityRawr]

Burned Frozen the drop in ratings also coincides with a drop in ALL tv ratings, but go ahead and make stuff up to justify beating off to women who can't wrestle and are put in stupid humiliating angles.

[@JaddenSinn]

that awkward moment when you realize that more women from this Diva Search stuck around than any season of Tough Enough

[@SeasideDetective2]

Speaking of that: I will always find it ridiculously ironic that Jackie Gayda more or less became one of these women.

[@doctorfeelfunny584]

What makes that moment awkward?

[@mikepagebrand]

Doctor Feelfunny the fact that Tough Enough was based on wrestling ability

[@kmena05]

The Miz and Ryback were on Tough Enough back in 2004

[@djtrankilo231]

@@kmena05 that was probably the only good year of Tough Enough. Besides John Morrison and Alex Riley, who else had a strong career from Tough Enough?

[@lukas187x]

I recall Triple H mentioning somewhere that he didn't like the Diva Search either, and that the whole thing was the brainchild of Kevin "I Hate Wrestling" Dunn, current Senior Executive Producer and the closest thing to Vince's BFF. I have railed against Dunn's poisonous influence on the WWE product, and this is just another bullet I can use to make an argument that Dunn has to leave. Seriously, do you really think these boring, pointless, sometimes even outright degrading segments on a 2 hour "sports entertainment" show will get you either an Emmy or a hot model girlfriend? Oh, and did I mention Dunn has a very outdated and misogynistic view on women? And you wonder why it took so long for women's wrestling to gain credibility in the WWE again.

[@jazzmaster909]

I agree. Kevin Dunn is pretty much the what's holding back of this generation of new talent.

[@planescaped]

Kevin Dunn is horrible, no one will argue that. That Vince Russo has apologists and supporters, but Dunn doesn't, says more than any words could...

[@AJARyan-yn2uv]

At least Russo came up with and executed good ideas when he was working with Vince. Just don't give him his own show. Dunn just seems like a creep.

[@SAM-ru4vx]

since wwe is a corporate company....couldn't the majority shareholders just vote him out or force a retirement.

[@hitlowftw9804]

Ken Hamada fun fact kevin dunn gets paid more then vince

[@adu1991]

I'm so glad that they stopped doing the Diva search..... Eva Marie was the last ever Diva Search winner, & now women need to have experience &/or go through NXT in order to be on the Women's divisions of Raw & Smackdown. Let's keep it that way.

[@heelstevenmaggle5615]

adu1991 WWE should just hire good looking women.

[@adu1991]

That's your opinion, but I'd rather see them actually be taken seriously as competitors & not set back another 13 years.

[@willow7610]

HEELSTEVEN MAGGLE NO BECAUSE THE CAN'T WRESTLE

[@heelstevenmaggle5615]

THE PURPLE Guy Who cares about Women's Wrestling Ability? Their looks have always been the reason people like them, most of the "Women" now look hideous or look like dudes!

[@heelstevenmaggle5615]

THE PURPLE Guy FNAF is Gay, like you.

[@ColaTheLodger]

Also Ivory has a great story about that dodgeball game involving wrestlers court. Apparently a bunch of models beating the established talent did more than raise a few eyebrows with the boys.

[@MetalMadness_00]

Richard Carlsen link

[@MetalMadness_00]

Richard Carlsen Triple H never gave a shit about the women's division back then also I have the assumption Ivory sucked off several of Triple H's boys to so they can put in a good word

[@DarthRevan823]

Mark Galan part of that has to do with Vince supplying him with terrible talent

[@bloodrunsclear]

'They want to see you eat...' *The Rock's soul cringes* 'Pie!'

[@Cyber_PunkBJJ]

Ivory told a story where the Women were taken to wrestler's court because they were refusing to lose to the girls in the Divas Search at a Dodgeball game.

[@TheRizGuy]

The dodge-ball segment was discussed on 'Table For 3' between Molly Holly, Michelle McCool and Candice Michelle, and apparently it was McCool who did all the work from the Diva Search team and gave her team the victory.

[@BzaafiedTheFerocious]

Shoutout from Noelle Foley, I'm mad envious dude.

[@willow7610]

Bzaafied the Ferocious so is adam pacciti

[@ctmdarkonestm]

Should Noelle ever make it on TV, would Jim Ross refer to her as Mr. Foley's little girl?

[@toptenguy1]

Or Mrs Foley's baby grand daughter lol

[@heelstevenmaggle5615]

Bzaafied the Ferocious She's ugly as fuck!

[@nightmares8213]

HEELSTEVEN MAGGLE are you blind?! She ain't even ugly!

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

Rest in peace Mr. Pogo. 1951-2017. despite constant surgeries and illness, he wrestled up till his death.

[@StoneColdSergio]

"Maybe you could buy yourself a personality?" STOP IT SHE'S ALREADY DEAD

[@arcticfoxplus7438]

I remember the pie eating segment. I was more or less laughing at tajiri. Especially after Christy sat in the pie. He was about to lose his mind after that lol.

[@TV247]

In hindsight at least some of the women that came from The Diva Search ended becoming either fantastic wrestlers, or at least decent wrestlers. Michelle McCool, Candice Michelle, Maryse, Eve, Layla, hell even Maria and Taryn Terrell.

[@chrishoskavich2435]

That pic of 'Taker getting married has me disillusioned. I would've thought the Dead Man would tie the knot in a satanic ceremony in a crypt or something, surrounded by druids and fire.

[@willow7610]

Chris Hoskavich this is just the public picture they couldn't show the real thing

[@u710274]

When he was gonna marry Stephanie... that could be close

[@kradrol]

he tried that once, but stone cold broke it up before they could finish.

[@kradrol]

fun fact, that isn't the only time stephanie McMahon would be kidnapped and married against her will that same year. which also happened to be the same year her brother and 3 or 4 of his friends would routinely assault her boyfriend, and she would get hit in the head with a trash can and suffer amnesia. 1999 was not a good year for stephanie. no wonder she turned heel.

[@u710274]

kradrol Nobody questions that HHH is married to her because he "Cosby'd" her all the way to Vegas. I feel that should be brought up everytime he tries a power play

[@GingerfulNerd]

Holy shit. The summer of 2004 was when I first started watching wrestling/WWE on a regular basis. To think this was one of my first glimpses of "women in wrestling"...

[@GingerfulNerd]

I wrote this before I finished the video. Just got to the diss the diva part. How do I NOT remember all of that?

[@HundredJono]

Oh god, I remember that segment on Raw with Kamala. That episode of Raw was complete dogshit because there was only 2 matches the whole night! TWO!!!!

[@rickyrosay33977]

Let's be happy this diva search crap is dead even as a kid I didn't like these segments although I did enjoyed the bikini segments 😂

[@YarnLalms711]

Michelle McCool is the real winner here

[@spiceupyourlife7755]

She got her push because of The Undertaker

[@ZoinksMcJinkies]

An additional note about the dodgeball game: the actual wrestlers got dragged before Wrestlers Court for letting the roster down by losing to these 'nobodies'. Ivory went into detail about it in a shoot.

[@raynwolfsbane2084]

I had zero clue what GLOW was until this video but now I'm definitely going to look for the documentary and watch the Netflix show

[@darkman060]

Rayn Wolfsbane the GLOW documentary is definitely worth a watch, one of the top 5 best wrestling documentaries I have ever seen, if not top 3

[@BrandonHex]

Gotta give it to Hemme though, she didn't take the money and run. She tried her best and she looked great IMO during that Road Warrior stuff. Mechanical is it might have been, she took some bumps and learned from jumps. Maria even more so. Sara McCool.

[@empressink_]

Finally someone giving Hemme some credit. She actually wanted to train and tried her best with what she given for her short time in WWE. In TNA, she ended up getting slightly better in the ring and kind of made a name for herself.

[@TimmyTickle]

@@empressink_ And then TNA made her the backstage interviewer on Impact (whilst reportedly paying her more than all their Knockouts put together... except for Jenna Morasca)

[@lewisaino]

At least Hemme did something relevant by being a Valet and involved.

[@dssunited]

Triple H was the biggest Diva on Raw 😂

[@wildsidetv313]

Yea raw was the triple h show back then 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@TheGood888]

If I remember correctly, didn't the female wrestlers that lost in that dodgeball match suffer a trip to Wrestlers' Court?

[@missmoanypants]

Minardi's PIF Show Yup. To be a fly on the wall for that session of Wrestlers Court...

[@queenv3175]

Ivory spoke about it, in her you shoot interview.

[@banzaibiloba]

There's a video where Ivory, while shooting and burying Triple H, talks about being the defense attorney for the actual wrestling Divas who lost and trying to convince judge Triple H not to punish them. She states that as being one of her proudest moments and she too wishes there was cameras filming the whole thing XD Indeed to be a fly on the wall....

[@chayden153]

Minardi's PIF Show yup, I think the judge was Val Venis

[@chayden153]

@Duncan Burden oh! Thanks for letting me know

[@Jamesamong007]

I remember during the second Diva Search. Christy Hemme scolded the guys chanting "boring!" during a segment where the contestants were talking about what they wanted to achieve as a wwe diva lol. "Guys...come on!"

[@ThEcharteaExperience]

"Homegirl needs some Ritalin."

[@Takimeko]

"Here are the RAW Diva contestants walking their dogs!" has the same energy as the "NOW DRAW HER (doing mundane task)" meme.

[@FibonacciDDR42175]

We need a full version of "Diss the GIrl" at the end there.

[@CobaltTheCrusader]

I don't remember a lot from the Diva Search in 2004 which is actually the year I got back into wrestling. I remember the Rock coming out to the Pie thing but I genuinely did not remember Christy trying to feed her butt. I just knew that I liked her the most since she had a ton of energy and was fun to watch. Maybe she wasn't the best worker or the best talker but I always liked her since she had this upbeat and bubbly personality. She really stood out...you would think I'd remember her trying to feed her butt a pie if the Rock was in the ring at the same time.

[@derangel9143]

After the first few weeks I think it became obvious that Christy was who would, or at least should, win the entire thing. She worked her ass off (pun entirely intended) during that entire mess of a search. Her "I'm going to do whatever it takes to win this" attitude made her stand out.

[@Thecallmemisterajp]

I dug Christy too. Her in-ring started off a bit rough, but IIRC she was developing into a solid little worker too right before she got released in 05.

[@StraightPunkEdge93]

Bluemagus I barely remember the first Diva Search besides who won it. But the one thing I remember clearly was turning it off whenever my mom was in the room 😂

[@stephenthedude4383]

[@TyMarshall007]

what's next NXT Series 1 2 and 3

[@SAM-ru4vx]

what about the one where Low Ki won

[@TyMarshall007]

When Low Ki ( Kaval) won NXT Season 2 they made him a Jobber WTF

[@TyMarshall007]

tell you the truth there was 3 people I wanted to win, Kaval, Michael McGillicutty ( Curtis Axel) and Percy Watson OH YEAH now he is signed in WWE as a NXT color commentator

[@MrBlazemaster525]

Thrash Metal Commenter Nah - Low Ki left because Creative had nothing for him after his losing to Ziggler at Survivor Series lol he literally asked and then when they told him he went to Vince and asked for his release

[@MrBlazemaster525]

Thrash Metal Commenter If you think "Creative" now is bad hoo boy the late-00s doldrums

[@dark0zim]

Great work like always, but also you forgot to mention that in Japan and Mexico female wrestlers are treated with respect

[@LoganProductions54]

It amuses me when someone says they want shit like *THIS* back on WWE television today. It isn't just degrading to women, but it's just shitty television, it wouldn't help the ratings at all, and it would just undo everything this whole Women's Revolution has done over the past 15 months.

[@AyoGhost]

The "women's revolution" is extremely boring to me, but that's just me, i cant speak for everybody.

[@The_Real_DCT]

Logan Productions or stupid garbage matches, lame edgy 90's gimmicks, pointless swearing, etc. But yeah it's nostalgia, you always have those fans who pine for the era that they got into wrestling. Some pine for the 70's- early 80's NWA era, some pine for the big muscle head cartoony Rock and wrestling era of the mid 80's, other pine for the attitude era. Me I just want sensible booking, good storytelling, solid matches, non scripted promos and a face of the promotion that isn't constantly being mishandled.

[@pens87668]

So I’ve been watching all the RAWs from Summerslam 2003 onward and I’m currently deep into the 2004 Diva search, and honestly a lot of it is the drizzling shits. The Kamala thing was the worst followed by the pie eating contest. Rock couldn’t shine shit that night no matter how hard he tried. Diss the Diva is the most memorable thing to happen. I wasn’t watching WWE back then, came back in late 2004/early 2005 after stopping when Austin left in 2002, so I didn’t see it live then, but honestly it’s amusing to watch back 16 years later. Hopefully whenever WWE continues their Ruthless Aggression series on the Network, that the Diva Search is one of the first topics. Would love to hear about it from a lot more people. I’ve heard Prichard bury it on his podcast.

[@GilesArt]

Here's the thing. I have no problem with sexy lady wrestlers, but they've got to be characters, and they've got to be good at what they do!! - In my mind, one of the best examples is Jacky. That lady was so hot, but she could go like there's no tomorrow! - What REALLY annoyed me is when Awesome Kong was cast as "the fat one", because it makes me reflect that vanity is an accessory, just like it was for Billy Gunn, Val Venis, etc, it's not a CORE piece of the storyline. - I'm totally cool with sexy female wrestlers, no matter the cup-size, but I need variety, I need colour and balance. I need characters who prioritize different things. - I like all the attitude era girls, but they needed more girls prioritizing different things. - However, there is ONE attitude girl that I didn't like: Sable. If you can't wrestle, DON'T wrestle, and don't take the PISS out of a legendary worker like Luna Vachon. I know George Steele says "Good workers don't need belts", VERY correct, but Luna deserved one for a push, not Sable, in my mind Sable was the Roman Reigns for the Attitude Era women. I wasn't feeling it, but she kept coming out every fucking night.

[@GilesArt]

It was better, unless your only gateway into women's wrestling is WWE. No knocks to the women today, but there is no way they're doing anything on par with what All Japan was doing in the 90s, be it in terms of in-ring quality or the interest they can gather.
