Another Halloween has come and gone. I have to admit, I was a little disappointed with the lack of costumes on RAW. I secretly was hoping to see a battle royal and all of the divas in their most “creative” Halloween costumes. Instead I saw the final match of one of my all time favorite Divas. I guess that was quite a treat.
Originally I was planning on reviewing the costumes of the Divas in the battle royal I was almost sure would happen. Since that wasn’t the case, I’ve decided to look at some of the hits…and misses of Diva Halloween costumes.
Trish Stratus (Wonder Woman) – 2005: I love superhero themed costumes and when Trish came out in this Wonder Woman outfit I loved superheroes even more. I could not think of a more appropriate costume for Trish at this point in her career. She was at the top of the women’s division and was champion for nearly a year. She looked stunning in the costume and it was our first glimpse at Trish with dark hair, a regular feature on the 7x Women’s Champ these days.
Kaitlyn (Dog the Bounty Hunter) – 2011: Uh….okay. I wasn’t surprised when Kaitlyn showed up on RAW last year in a funny costume. Her Vickie Guerrero outfit from 2010 had me in stitches. This however…had me wondering what the hell she was supposed to be. It wasn’t until the commentators actually said her costume that I actually got it. First off, is that show even still on? If you’re going to have a pop culture costume make sure it’s still relevant. Also, I seriously thought she was Kevin Nash or The Disciple or something like that. A nice efffort, Kaitlyn…but it could have been a lot better.
Victoria (Banana) – 2008:Victoria (Tara) is probably one of the funniest Divas to ever enter a wrestling ring. She always brings a smile to people’s faces. I’ll never forget Cyber Sunday during the Divas Halloween costume contest. While all of the other Divas were entering the ring in their outfits by showing some skin, Victoria comes dancing out shaking her arms. It looked so out of place. So bizarre. So…PERFECT. I’m still bitter she didn’t win that contest.
Ashley Massaro (Dark Angel) – 2005: This was probably the most awkward outfit I’ve ever seen anyone in wrestling wear. Ashley awkwardly walked out in this outfit in 2005 for a Divas Costume Contest. The wings slowed her down even more than her usual in-ring pace. The outfit really just looked like she bought the entire Hot Topic Halloween section and threw it on…besides her elastic band panties. There’s a fine line between sexy and trashy…and I’m sorry Ashley, but this crossed it.
AJ Lee (Kitana) – 2011: MORTAL KOMBAT! As a secret nerd, I loved this outfit. When A.J. whipped out her fans in the middle of last year’s battle royal and tired to use them, I loved it even more.
Those are just a few of my favorite…and least favorite Diva Halloween costumes. What are yours? Share in the comments below!

Wait, the same chick that was in a prostitution scandal that got her fired crossed the line into trashy? Ya don’t say… ;)
I think that there were some bigger misses than Kaitlyn’s Dog The Bounty Hunter costume, like say Maria’s Bunny costume in 2008 or Maxine as an Ice Queen on NXT Season 3, but that’s just me. I loved Melina’s Spider-Woman costume, Eve as Rafael from the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” was great too.

Trinity with the caution tape and Princess ‘Leila’ ;P loved them

My favorite was AJ’s Kitana! I was never a big video game fan, but I’ve always loved Kitana and AJ looks amazing in that costume! She nailed it.
I love Victoria’s humor! She was definitely brought a comedic effect to a pool of girls with barely there outfits!
Ashley’s dark angel looks like something she could have worn for her Playboy cover. Its so trashy.

I agree with most of them Ashley’s I’m not a fan of hers but she looked hot in that outfit and I’m surprised Trinity’s costume didn’t make it that costume was trashy.

Obviously, being a Rosa fan, I do always love hers, but I think her 2010 attire, where she was dressed as ‘a Lucky Leprechaun’, was amazing. Not only was the look of it good, but it actually fit her future gimmick perfectly. You hear during her entrance, Teddy say ‘Here’s your favourite’ to Hornswoggle, and that’s because of the simularity between the two, and after that, Rosa went on to manage him for a while, and had a short storyline with him. Also, I think the fact she was a face, but acted cheeky like a naughty leprechaun would by offering free coins to the fans, then taking it back, was quite funny, and she even threw coins in the ring during the match. – Overall, loved it.

I like Candice Michelle in Marilyn Monroe costume.

Tiffany as a nun was a huge miss, that’s just wrong.

I liked both Eve and AJ’s Ninja Turtle costumes. funny how they both dressed as Raphael, though I think Eve made hers herself and AJ just bought hers. Naomi as the Hamburger Helper hand was a huge miss, especially since she had to wrestle in it later on. I was a big fan of Brie Bella dressed as Cleopatra back in 2008

LOVED Victorias Banana and Sumo Ringer outfits!
She was hilarious, tons of fun and caught the spirit of the halloween perfectly instead of trying to be hot 24/7.
Liked a lot AJ as kitana, Kaitlyn as bounty hunter, Eve as ninja turtle, The bellas as mario and luigi, melina as spider woman.
All unique, different and not dressed up to be sexy but rather dressed up to be funny while enjoying halloween.
Honorable mentions, Rosa as leprechaun and Nattie as the queen of hearts. :)
