Sexy Chicks | 10 Things We Learned From Watching WWE Films

Most viewers of the films WWE has churned out will notice an unsettling trend: the women featured in these films are, frankly, totally hopeless and do nothing except get kidnapped by the bad guy and wait for a big burly man to come rescue them. The WWE Divas may be smart, sexy and powerful, but these poor girls  aren't. Heck,they get kidnapped more times than Daphne from Scooby-Doo .

Don't believe me? Well, John Cena's first starring vehicle, The Marine , saw Cena playing an ass-kicking marine (well, duh) who is holidaying with his beautiful blonde wife (played by the relatively well-known actress Kelly Carlson, see previous slide) when, out-of-nowhere, she gets kidnapped by a gang of robbers and he has to save her, breaking all the rules in the process!

The Marine 2 , withTed Dibiase (who was so bad in this he might as well have gotten acting lessons from Tommy Wiseau), had roughly the same plot. While the couple are on vacation, the hero's blonde, beautiful wife gets abducted by terrorists and, once again, the titularmarine (who just wanted a nice, relaxing vacation, dammit!) has to spring into action to save her, breaking all the rules in the process!

John Cena's next movie, 12 Rounds , didn't feature any marines, but we were once again treated to a lazy retread of the same old plot: Cena plays a tough cop whose beautiful blonde girlfriend gets abducted by an old adversary, and he has to complete 12 gruelling tasks in order to get her back, breaking all the rules in the process!

Personally, I'm hoping that, eventually, there will be a WWE film in which the villain kidnaps the hero's wife, only it turns out she was a terrible woman who nagged him all the time and generally made his life miserable, and the hero is more than happy to see the back of her. Instead of trying to save her, he casually goes home and plays his Xbox for the duration of the movie.

Back on topic, these women mentioned, while portrayed as dumb and hopeless in every possible sense, still had a far easier time than the chicks in Kane 's gruesome slasher flick See No Evil . In that film, almost all of the (scantily-clad) female characters are hunted down, tortured and brutally murdered during the course of the movie. Yikes.
