* Attractive women are often seen as inferior wrestlers, or are pre-judged to have gotten their jobs on looks rather than athletic merits. This attitude dates back to [[Sable]] in the late 90s. On one hand Sable was ultra-popular for a while and brought back women's wrestling to mainstream promotions. On the other hand, she'd had so much plastic surgery she could barely bump and had to be carried through her matches by the less attractive but more talented Jacqueline and Luna Vachon. To this day [[WWE]] tends to hire models that their talent scouts find attractive and send them to developmental territories instead of hiring girls from the independent promotions. There are also the Diva Search divas, who get their jobs by winning a contest that most wrestling fans find boring. So ex-models regularly get accused of being talentless and undeserving of their jobs, regardless of how hard they work to improve their skills.

* WWE wrestler [[Cody Rhodes]], especially in his stint as "Dashing Cody Rhodes", whose character was that of a handsome, but utterly vain and egotistical heel who'd denigrate fans and other superstars for their supposed "ugliness".
