Smark Out Moment

This tournament was one of the founding segments of this site, spanning from January to October of 2012 and focusing on virtually every female to have appeared in WWE, WCW, ECW and TNA at that point. Over the years, the concept of the tournament has evolved and become an annual tradition targeting the current roster of both the male and female superstars, growing bigger every year.

Past winners were Mickie James (inaugural), Eva Marie (2014), Nikki Bella and Dolph Ziggler (2015), Paige and Seth Rollins (2016), Alexa Bliss and Finn Balor (2017), Alexa Bliss and Fandango (2018)

It's time to start looking at the current crop of performers in WWE to determine who are the hottest today!

Last year's winners: Alexa Bliss and Fandango

The contest will consist of two posts per week—one for the women and one for the men. Voting will take place through Google Forms and we will give our thoughts on the results and the next round in podcast form.

But that is once the 32-seeded bracket has been determined. Before we get into that, we must figure out who those 32 men and women are, and this year, there is a new tweak to the voting system.


Normally, there is a qualifying round to establish who will compete in the tournament and who will not receive entry. This year, with 82 women and 196 men to choose from, another round was necessary to cut down the list.

Therefore, this week is effectively Round 0A, and this is how it works:

- All 31 women and 28 men from last year's tournament who are still eligible for this year's have received automatic advancement to Round 0B.

- Every other woman and man, for the most part, must get through this round in order to become eligible to place in this year's tournament.

- Out of the 50+ women and 160+ men on this current list, you will be allowed to pick up to 33 women and 36 men who you feel are attractive enough to possibly enter the tournament.

- Based on your collective voting, the top 33 women and 36 men from this round will move on to Round 0B, wherein they will be put in a new list with last year's competitors.

- In Round 0B (coming next week), you will vote on your top 32 favorites who you want to actually place in the tournament, and once those votes are calculated, I will use that to help seed the bracket and determine a healthy mix between last year's competitors and those who weren't in the tournament for 2018.

It sounds complicated, but it's as simple as picking the people you find the most attractive on this current list and waiting until next week to find out who has moved on!
