So I kinda wanna know- HBK/Playgirl story

To answer your first question, Michaels did an interview and photo shoot for Playgirl in 1997. The photos were not even the least bit explicit, and showed no nudity at all, the raciest photo was one of him wearing nothing but the World Title Belt, but even that one wasn't explicit at all.

To answer your second question, Playgirl has never had much success getting male celebrities to pose for a number of different reasons, the primary one being that their readership is composed mostly of gay men, not women. Women don't really want to see wiener, and guys are generally much more modest then girls.

You know the second part I can agree with on the whole demographic. I mean it's strange enough that it is the way it is. But it is.

That said, I'm not saying have duel magazines every year. But take Orton for instance, who probably was young and stupid, remember those pics of him that got out?

Now while I'll have about as much interest in that as if Khali and Umaga were gonna do commentary for the next Wrestlemania.... I think in some respects WWE would probably get more money with a popular male wrestler than they would with a diva that let's be honest, WWE hardly gives us much reason to care about.

I think the real concern is all the parents dreading the task of buying Bobby Lashley's newest magazine, than explaing what exactly the kids just looked at.

Didn't Vito do it or was that Kayfabe? Oh and I slightly remember the Orton photos being shown on a Raw a while back, what was the story behind those?

Vito did a non-nude photo shoot, yes.

Since I doubt Slappy will reply to this, although I really have no business saying it, I'll try to define something for you.

Yes and No. Playboy came out and it trumped all magazines of it's kind because it offered class, but more importantly the best of the best. Not street workers, but some known and potentially knowns to reveal what they'd like all in fair play.

Now Playgirl came out because there's no truth to women not having a sex drive, just truth of the matter, guys rely on theirs more. So it became as you say a "gay Mag" not because it was about giving guys an alternative, but rather their is no hetrosexual or homosexual only restrictions.

You think a female has never, how you say, "rubbed one out" to a Hustler or Playboy. Hell KING Magazine is basically softcore porn.

In other words, divas do playboy for the fact it has some prestige to it. Not just because they need to make ends meet.

If a male wrestler was to do playgirl, by all means they gotta think pretty high of themself. Ala' Shawn Michaels.

I understand that women pleasure themselves to magazines and crap. But in the world of wrestling when you do a magazine that is more dominately viewed by people of the same sex. That have the intentions of masturbaiting to it. You get alot of crap for it in the locker room. Like being told "you like having gay guys jerk off to you." and that is the kind of thing you get when you are willing to put yourself in a homosexual magazine.

How do you know if they would be ridiculed for doing it? Just because you are against it, doesn't mean they are or that they would be made fun of for it.

Imagine Big Daddy V Doing PlayGirl. *Starts to get sick.*

LMFAO!!!
