I'm neat.
After watching the fourth episode of Total Divas I came to the realization that WWE superstars do try and augment their appearance to become more marketable to the WWE Universe. This was exemplified by the fact last night that Ariane wanted to get breast implants in order to appeal to a bigger demographic but there's more on this later...However the episode features the concept of changing attire for more marketability and changing looks (weight) to get ahead in the WWE. Now whilst this all seems like a recap of yesterday's episode that's not the point of this thread.
My reason for making this thread is to ask you do you realize the changes the WWE Superstars make to their appearance each week and do you truly believe it helps them get over?
I think the answer to this is that it depends on the situation at hand. Take for example Kingston coming out in long pants. Did everyone notice them? Yes they did. Did this amplify his appeal with the WWE audience. I'd most certainly say No. But then you get someone like Alberto Del Rio who constantly changes his wrestling trunks and I think it's totally ineffective to aiding his character. It's slightly interesting to see the changes but often times I don't feel like it helps add to character.
I think every week we typically see someone slightly change how they look. And it makes sense change is viewed as good but I personally think I've yet to see anyone make a noticeable altercation to their body that truly brings their character to another level. I made the thread title "Breast in the World" because quite frankly that was the point of yesterday's episode, change your breast to become the best. However I truly don't see how something like this would change how this would greatly effect a character but then again I've been wrong before.
So what's your opinion on the matter? Do the subtle changes characters make really make a difference? Or do the changes simply float away into melancholy and sameness?
