Round 3 of Diva Dirts Flawless Face-Off brought another stacked set of categoriesand the fans showed up to vote. This week, we saw one of the best-rendered video game models of the era, an undeniable valet who always stole the spotlight, a true trailblazer finally getting her flowers, and a heel queen who perfected the art of in-ring shade.
The votes once again came down to tight margins (best video game model was won but just a few votes!)but four winners emerged, each bringing something unique to the legacy of womens wrestling from the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras. Lets take a look at your Flawless Face-Off champions for Round 3.
Best Video Game Model: Torrie Wilson SmackDown vs. Raw 2007
It was the year Torrie Wilson turned pixels into perfection. In SmackDown vs. Raw 2007, Torrie wasnt just well-renderedshe was next-level glamorous. From the flowing entrance animation, her pup Chloe joining Torrie during her entrance and one of the most memorable gears worn by Torrie ever (which was only worn once during a 6 diva tag match on Raw), this model stood out in a game filled with heavy hitters (seriously, the top 3 winners were all from SvR07). Her gear looked fresh, her movement felt smooth, and every detailfrom the blond highlights to the entrance strutwas unmistakably Torrie.
Torries video games models were a fan favorite, nabbing three separate nominations. What set Torries 2007 render apart was the gear, star power, and polish. This win isnt just about graphicsits about the legacy of one of WWEs biggest female stars being done justice in the digital world.
Before she was racking up championship gold, Melina was redefining what it meant to be a manager. As the face (and scream) of MNM, she didnt just accompany Nitro and Mercury to the ringshe commanded the spotlight. With her Hollywood entrance, flawless outfits, and ability to flip from sultry to savage in seconds, Melina gave the team their edge.
Melina was integral in MNM securing the tag team titles on multiple occasions and never missed a beat when it came to storytelling. Let it be known, Melina was a star in her own right and would go on to be one of the most decorated performers in womens wrestling herstory. This win celebrates the start of her unforgettable run as one of the most dynamic and captivating divas of the Ruthless Aggression era.
Few women embodied the phrase ahead of her time quite like Luna Vachon. With her half-shaved head, gravelly voice, and unapologetically intense persona, Luna dared to stand out in a division that often favored beauty over brutality. She was fierce, she was fearless, and she was absolutely committed to every single moment she stepped into the ring.
Though WWE never fully gave her the run she deserved, Lunas legacy is undeniable. She was a bridge between the outrageous personas of the 90s and the more hard-hitting style that would define the next generation. Seeing Luna get so much love and adoration on Diva-Dirt feels like a long-overdue thank you from fans who recognize her contributions, her impact, and the fact that she helped shape the path for women who didnt fit the moldbut sure as hell belonged there.
Trish Stratus was never just a pretty faceshe had a sharp tongue to match her fierce forearms. Whether it was mocking her opponents with a smirk, throwing shade mid-match, or delivering backstage burns that went viral before viral was a thing (that segment backstage with Nidia throwing the drink in Trishs face still lives rent free in my head), Trish had the art of verbal warfare down to a science.
Her heel persona was rooted in confidencethe kind of confidence that let her belittle legends, rookies, and even fans without breaking a sweat. But it wasnt just snarkTrish made every word count, and it always heightened her storylines. The work she did as a heel after turning on Jericho at WMXX speaks for itself. Her mic work and mid-match sass proved that the best trash talkers dont just talkthey elevate the moment. This win is a fitting crown for someone who was always that bxtchin the ring and on the mic.
Round 4 voting begins tomorrow, and let me warn youthe competition is fierce. Next round we have Best Gear, Best In Ring Worker, Best Promo Worker and Comedy Queen. This set of categories might be the toughest yet, with stacked nominees in every field.
As always, thank you to everyone whos voted, commented, debated, and shown love for the women who made this era iconic. Cant wait to see who rises to the top next round!
