Having been a victim of a loose tongue and not much good sense at that age... I sympathise

The timing of us saying that Jackie looked like his mom and him saying he wants to have sex with her...maybe 45 seconds.

I never had an opinion one way or another on Jackie's 'hawtness' until recently when I watched Smoky Mountain from beginning to end. She only shows up in the last few weeks of the promotion (using the name 'Sgt. Rock' IIRC) and I was blown away by how fine she looked. So yeah, that's my Jackie thirst origin story.

3. This is the big one: I actually like Randy Orton now. It isn't like he aged like fine wine or anything, but he's doing the grizzled veteran thing just fine. He's got sympathy from his injuries, he can still do the crazy thing, he's over as hell after all these years, I guess I've just come around on the prick. 

2. And it's not even close. Sable is what I've always called a "blah blonde". Literally nothing interesting to her. A walking mannequin. Hef's type. Not knocking all blondes. But compare Sable to the sublime cuteness of a Stacy Kiebler or the alluring exotic quality of a Trish Stratus. Sable's got nothing going on there.

3. To me, Randy is at his best in hoss matches. His runs with guys like Barrett and Sheamus were great. I wouldn't mind seeing him in a series with Gunther...

There is a certain very very very famous singer who I feel the same way about.  With that said, I feel like I can tell a lot about a person's personality based purely on how good looking they find Sable.  If I had the resources, I'd do a poll and put it in a scatter chart, and I'm pretty sure my theory would be statistically significant.

LOL.  My assumption doesn't necessarily think these dudes are simps, but much more about how they define masculinity and other social type things.  Not saying they aren't simps, but I'm much more interested in who these people are in categories that don't necessarily have anything to do with how they interact with women in general.  I'm pretty sure it would break down very interestingly across racial/culture lines.  For what it's worth, I'm a black dude who finds her to be attractive, but I'd look around my side of the scatterplot and wonder where the fuck I went wrong.

I'd say Sable is also reminiscent of a type popular in late 90s culture... pam. anderson, Jenny McCArthy, Jenna Jameson. Arguably the very stereotypical Barbie Doll look.

You hit the nail on the head there.

Like, I thought Pam was legit the least attractive woman on V.I.P. Natalie Raitano tho...

Nobody has quite reached the point I'm trying to make, but this is very close. She looks like the type of woman a man who is much too interested in other people's opinions would think is attractive, not necessarily because he thinks she's attractive, but because he thinks the people he'd like to impress would think she's attractive.  If you lined up all the wives of Fortune 500 companies, I bet you'd find a lot of women who look a lot like Sable.  She's essentially a human Mercedes.  It's the car you buy once you make x amount of dollars so that everyone knows you make x amount of dollars.  It's kind of like how almost every contestant in the Miss America pageant looks like they could be related.  They aren't necessarily trying to look their best; they're trying to look like what America thinks looks the best, and that's not really the same thing.

Trophy wives. 
 

also, generally speaking, look at how many of the PGA wives have a similar look/aesthetic. 

[Nice Guy Eddie]

I never thought Sable was that attractive, especially not when compared to Tammy Stych at the time. 

[BloodyChamp]

This is an interesting conversation that I’m a little scared to touch lol! Sable wasn’t shit, yet she was the woman who drove me the most nuts if that makes any sense. Same goes for Pamela. There was a very well done Vince McMahon promo that talked about this that seems bad now obviously but the truth is it was great. 

Jenny and Jenna atleast had some of their own personal unique features in their face, and elsewhere when they were almost what you’d call thick.

I don't want to live in a world where a 105 lb. woman with no cheeks is considered thick.

You can do side bends or sit-ups….

God dammit thanks for getting that stuck in my head

[twiztor]

as a teenage boy during the heyday of Pam Anderson and Sable, i definitely viewed them as the epitome of "hot". times have changed and i have matured (how did that happen?) i still can appreciate their attractiveness, but i realize now they were never the end-all, be-all in that regard.

i wonder how much i just considered them that hot because of their reputation of being that hot. more than i'd care to admit, methinks.

Barbie industrial complex 

[BobbyWhioux]

the mere fact that WWF/Vince's presentation told me I was supposed to find Sable "the hottest" immediately prompted me to have a reaction of "Nuh-uh"

part of that, I'm sure, was my own adolescent thought process, both about sexuality in general ["celebrity crushes" were just a more extreme and more ridiculous version of getting worked up over the "it girls" at school that all the other boys wouldn't shut up about, who were never going to give me a second look regardless, so what was the point of my drooling like an idiot over them?] and the healthy head start I'd already gotten on being a Cynical Old Man in general.

the other part of that was WWF/Vince also told me I should root for HBK over Bret and if they could be so obviously wrong and stupid about that then they were probably that obviously wrong and stupid about a bunch of other stuff, too. Including but not limited to girls.

[BobbyWhioux]

Also, Sable was a babyface and I cannot overstate how much of a personal kiss of death Wrestlemania 12 was to the entire babyface side of the WWF's roster for at least the rest of 1996.  Every one of them was Guilty By Association.

[Cliff Hanger]

My current hottest take is that these overseas taped shows should be edited, with "nine minutes later" title cards to show how long it took the crowd to calm down enough to let people talk. I love that they're so thrilled to be there, but good lort.

This is it. As a male who reached puberty during the time Pamela Anderson was a thing, she was a safe choice for when you were bullshitting with your buddies behind Mr. Ernest's General Store. (Small town life, baby.) "Oh yeah, bro, I'd totally do whatever adult act I don't understand but heard about from my friend's big brother with her." Even before you understood what you found attractive, citing someone like Pam was a surefire way to avoid ridicule.

So the bar down the street from me has a bunch of TVs that usually have sports on but a few of the bartenders that work the closing shift will switch one of the TVs to the Baywatch Roku channel so it's just a loop and just seeing the typical early 90s California beach body is so jarring compared to now. 

[zendragon]

Had that happen to me with seeing a Baywatch reruns at a bar and yhea things have changed

Yep, but I think there are a lot of people who never actually moved past this.  They learned what everyone else agreed was attractive and then just decided this narrow ass (literally and figuratively) parameter is what is attractive as a fact and never actually formed an opinion of their own on what they find attractive.  The internet if full of those man vs. female videos where they ask a woman what she wants in a man and then they breakdown the percentages and the man she wants is like 1.6% of the population or some shit.  The same thing goes the opposite way when we have a bunch of dudes who want a tall blonde woman with less than 10% body fat and massive breasts or a 100 lb. woman with a big ol' butt.  Both are kind of like saying I want to have a tame jaguar as a pet.  These things don't actually exist, but somehow we've convinced most of the population that this is not only what we want, but what we need.  So, we've built a society where the men want a bunch of women who don't exist, and all the women want men who don't exist.  It's just one of the many ways that we've completely lost ourselves in our own bullshit.
