Who Would Sell More Playboys?

[Guest wootman]

I think those two would sell the most Playboys out of all the females employed by WWE today. While Stacy and Lita would sell a lot as well, I highly doubt they'd outsell Trish or Steph.

 

While it would seem that Trish has a larger fanbase and is much more Playboy material than Stephanie, I think if people had to choose who they would rather see nude, I think Stephanie would edge out Trish as she's a lot more of a curiosity than Trish is. Trish is not really any different than any other blonde they have in that mag whereas Stephanie has the novelty of being the bosses daughter and Triple H's wife, not to mention that she has huge breasts.

 

Also, Trish has pretty much shown everything there is for her to show whereas Stephanie leaves a lot to the imagination which in turn makes people go in a frenzy when she does show some skin every now and then.

 

To Trish's advantage, she wouldn't need to be airbrushed all too me much as she always in great shape and really fit. On the otherhand, I think it goes without saying that the editors would have there work cut out for them when it comes time to airbrush "Mount Stephmore".

 

Stephanie would REALLY need to get in shape cause there's only so much they can airbrush. She's got fat arms, gut and thunder thighs, fnot to mention saggy, droopy boobs. When Steph is in a pushup bra, she looks great, but when she's not wearing one, those things really sink down and it's probably not too hot. I think it would be best if she held them up with her hands. Also, it would help if Steph lost some of her bulk. Considering how slimmed down she looked at the Blade Premiere, she seems capable of losing weight when she really tries as she's a workaholic like her dad. I think in the end, by hook or by crook and by using every trick in the book, Steph's pics would come out looking respectable.

 

I guess this post is moot point considering that those two will probably never pose, but if they did, I think Trish would come off looking a bit better in the pics whereas Stephanie would generate a few more sales than Trish.

Trish is not only prettier than Stephanie, but she's also got a better body. I'd rather SEE Trish. Of course, since we haven't seen Stephanie in over 16 months, we have no idea how good of shape she's in.

 

As for, who would SELL more Playboys? That's a tough one. Trish looks more like the type they generally feature (although her big pretty brown eyes make her somewhat unique), Stephanie's probably more famous outside of wrestling fans. Then again, sicne she's been off of TV for over a year, that'd probably handicap her enough to give Trish the advantage.

 

I'm going to have to say Trish.

Stephanie would sell more because of the "untouchable" factor.

I wonder if I should move this.

I saw a picture of her from last November. She doesn't look too bad these days.

 

Anyways, I think a Playboy pictoral of Trish *AND* Steph would sell the most.

[Guest wootman]

At that Blade premiere.....

 

 

From people seeing her in public, she gained quite a bit of weight after her marriage and No Mercy 2003 departure, but she seemed to have slimmed back down to her 2000-2001 figure judging by that pic of her in December and when she appeared at that political speaking thing in September. On some Smackdowns in 2003 she'd be as big as house and then are other Smackdowns she'd look quite thin. She gains and lose weight easily though, so who knows how she is now. Stephanie's weight is like a yo-yo.

[SuperJerk 0]

Yup...that picture makes me want to say Trish that much more.

[Enigma 0]

Trish.

[Guest Trivia247]

Trish though is that gerbal carbon copy people want to see, oh look a busty blonde chick well damn i haven't seen that on every other nude photo lay out.

 

granted she would have to be slimmed down more, but I would be more interested in seeing Stephanie. perhaps for that daughter of the owner of the company spread naked taboo.

[Guest CronoT]

Stephanie McMahon's face looks like a horse in that pic.

Look at side-by-side pcitures of her and Torrie Wilson and tell me if you still think Trish looks generic.

[Guest Trivia247]

that is differently not the best hair job she gotten. the feathered wild stringy look probably better

[Guest Shadow]

Stephanie McMahon would sell more copies. It's not a issue of who is "hotter", that debate is quickly ended without a slight hesitation. However, Stephanie McMahon is a larger known commidity, while Trish is unquestionably one of the most known diva's in WWE's history, she still isn't at Chyna, Sable or even Miss Elizabeth's level. Those three were MAINSTREAM.

 

Trish Stratus is hardly known outside of the wrestling circle and if a casual passerby would to see her on the cover of Playboy, he would just assume it's another typical blonde. And either ignore it or just simply scan and put it up.

 

Stephanie McMahon, alone has the name. That right there out-appeals Trish Stratus. There's a more hidden taboo with Stephanie.

 

Stephanie for the majority of her carrer has been promoted as a Daddy's Girl or the evil heirness to the throne, no one opposed to the current suffering fanbase even knows of her stint as the "I am a Independent Woman" GM of smackdown.

 

Taboo sells. It's similar to the Olsen Twins. No one honestly thinks they are hot, it's the "cant touch this" and the "I am rich" factor that truely generated that hype and yet people would spend hundreds on nude pictorials on them.

 

While I'd strongly perfer to see Trish in the pictorials, Its a no-brainer that Stephanie McMahon is the clear bigger sell for WWE.

[Guest wootman]

Shadow said it perfectly. I agree with everything he said 100%.

 

While there are several women better looking than Stephanie, Stephanie has that taboo appeal to her that you either have or you don't and she has it, quite like The Olsen Twins. It's not something that many people can just have or you can magically get, you either have it or you don't.

 

While Trish may be better looking than Stephanie, Stephanie's got that mystery to her and is "daddy's little girl". And yeah, most casual people who aren't familiar with pro wrestling would see Trish as just another blonde.

Yeah. Trish's boobs, ass, thighs, lips > Torrie's.

 

Torrie may be cuter in the face...when they slap enough makeup on her to cover up her wrinkles...but Trish's got the "naughtier" look going for her.

 

I want to say Trish would outsell her, but considering that the WWE Diva who sold the most Playboys HAS A FREAKING VAGENIS, being better looking doesn't really mean much.

 

It's obvious that the WWE marketing machine would be working way overtime and curiousity would drive the sales higher than a Trish layout probably would.

[Shanghai Kid 0]

Stephanie might 'sell more because of the taboo appeal' but not to the extent that some of you think. At the end of the day people who pass by the magazine are going to see a chubby, big boned brunett with a pair of breasts that don't fit her body. You can't really get past the fact that Steph isn't very attractive and doesn't have many positive body features.

 

Steph in 2000, now SHE was VERY HOT back then. That would be a different story if say it was Wrestlemania 2000 Steph.

 

Trish I think fits the playbody audience better and wrestling fans for the most part would take Trish over Steph ANY day of the week.

[Guest wootman]

Shangkai Kid makes a good counterpoint as well I must admit.

 

While some casual people might see the taboo appeal to Stephanie, other people might not "Get Steph" and just see some moderately attractive, chubby girl with huge breasts and not get what the big fuss is about. They'll be like, "who is this fat girl and why she is in Playboy"? I guess we shouldn't forget about those people too and who would just prefer the cookie cutter blonde like Trish.

[evilhomer 0]

I don't think the taboo factor would be that great. For something like the Olson twins it would be huge because everybody knows them (whether you want to or not). But the McMahons aren't that kind of worldwide phenomenon. They're better known outside of wrestling circles than the wrestlers, but not to a huge extent.

 

Still I think that it would be a factor that would nudge Steph into the lead. A headline of 'billionare heiress nude' would sell more copies than 'another big breasted blonde', but it wouldn't be a huge landslide.

 

It's obvious that the WWE marketing machine would be working way overtime

Also this factor. Entire episodes of Raw and Smackdown would be dedicated to selling the magazine just to stroke the ego. It would have to be the top selling WWE diva spread because the princess would be crushed if it wasn't.

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

I'm guessing the one who sells the most Playboys would be the one who most looks like the fantasy Playboy girl of blonde hair, blue eyes and big ta ta's.

I just think your overrating Stephs appeal, even as a billionares daughter. I don't think it's enough to make people buy a spread of what is a rich, chubby, big boned brunette with no playboy like body features. Her breasts are way out of proportion with the rest of her body. If Steph was still super hot like she was in 2000 than maybe yeah, but she's definetly not playboy material at this point.

 

Trish is just more desirable to not only the wrestling audience but the playboy audience as well. Casual people who know nothing about wrestling will surely buy a magazine with Trish on the cover over that of Stephanie.

 

Despite some of you thinking Trish doesn't have mainstream appeal, she's been on Mad TV a few times, she's been at awards shows, she's very popular in Canada, and she has fans from her modeling days. I think she's more of an international celebrity than some of you think.

I'd buy the Stephanie one.

I don't want Trish to pose nude. There is so much more she can offer and the teasing quality of her body is what adds to her appeal. If I've seen it, the teasing quality is gone and she just become generic blonde #7

 

Trish can do so much more than pose nude.

Stephanie, Maria, Joy, and so many others serve no other purpose than "HEY LOOK! BREASTS!" so them being nude isn't that big of a deal and doesn't effect their character.

Besides Stephanie McMahon, you know, one day being co-owner of the company and all.

 

1999-2001 Stephanie was gorgeous. If she still had that body, I have no doubt she would sell more issues than Trish. But she's bulked up since then. Her face has grown out of proportion a little, and she isn't in nearly as good shape as she once was. The factor that her marriage has been made so public cannot also not be overlooked. Some are a little turned off at the idea of looking at naked pictures of a married woman. There is no possibility of them ever actually having a chance with this woman now, so why bother paying money to look at pictures of her? As unrealistic as it would be, some would take more consolation in the fact that Trish Stratus isn't married yet. And, if she's seeing someone, it hasn't be shoved into the public's face like the HHH/Stephanie relationship. Trish always remains a possibility, which would make her a little more appealing.

 

In 2005, I think Trish would sell more issues. Steph's figure doesn't even compare to Trish anymore, and Trish has that feature of availability that Steph doesn't have anymore. But I don't know if this would have been the case a few years ago.

[iggymcfly 0]

A few years ago, say right after HHH "divorced" her or before she got the boobs enlarged, Steph would have sold way better. She had the untouchable factor, the unique factor, etc. etc.

 

However, now she's been gone so long that I don't think the interest is all that strong anymore. Plus, the boobs cut her physical attractiveness by at least half and she's really just not that hot of a commodity before.

 

I used to think that Steph was far and away the hottest chick in the WWE, but even I wouldn't care that much anymore. I'd say that Trish would definitely outsell her now.

[Guest Mosaicv2]

Stephanie McMahon's face looks like a horse in that pic.

that is differently not the best hair job she gotten. the feathered wild stringy look probably better

 

not hot?

didn't wanna reply to that because of all those pics heh

 

but no Im talking about the hair in that first pic, the rest of the pics the hair made her face look awesome.

 

 

My arguement over Stephanie vs Trish in terms of wanting to see her in Playboy if she was down to her circa 00-01 build, is that Trish despite how good looking hot or whatever you horn dogs worship her over, is another Cookie Cutter Blonde Bombshell Sterotype. Been there done that seen that oo boy shes purdy Which was the whole basis for that Trish is the greatest womens Champion EVAH thread... oye

Jeeze...enough with the Steph pictures already. They're not bad, but someone needs to balance it out with some Trish pics.

 

I'd buy the Trish mag over the Steph mag myself.

[Celtic Jobber 0]

Stephanie has (or maybe I should say had) the girl next door appeal that most girls in Playboy are lacking. While Trish looks like 99% of all Playmates.

 

So, judging from that Blade Trinity premiere pic, Steph is still looking pretty good. And I think her huge breasts alone would make her issue of Playboy a huge seller.

So you want...A HAPPY MEDIUM?!?!?

 

Remember, Chyna was a hot seller too. Novelty is more of a factor than the average Playboy model would have you believe. I'd say Steph. I'd RATHER see Steph, as well, but I think that most people would prefer a smokin'-hot blonde like Trish. That doesn't necessairly sell, though.

Sure, if you would like to put it that way.
