What attracts you most to your favourite wrestler?

[Tiarnán]

Name one thing that makes that wrestler particularly appealing to you.

My favourite: Melina.

I love her for a lot of reasons, but I think the thing that caught my attention was just how animated and colourful she happened to be. I like that she tries to incorporate all of these little nuances or traits into everything she does to make herself stand out. She's very dramatic and OTT, be it in her entrance, her ring style, her movement, her attires or even facial expression, but it works for her. She's like a real life cartoon character, and I think that element is partly what makes wrestling special.

Maryse

I first liked Maryse because she's blonde and really pretty, but what really drew me to her was her carefree nature. Whatever she's doing, you can always tell she's having fun. Whether it be in playing her character, behind the scenes footage, interviews, photoshoots, etc. She enjoys her life and makes the most of it. I admire that about her and try to do the same.

Maryse

Name just one thing? I pretty much like everything about Maryse, including her wrestling (I’m not joking). But if I had to pick one thing it would probably be something that you both already covered while talking about Maryse and Melina, respectively.

So basically, this:

Many of my favourite Maryse moments are just random little moments that probably weren't even planned and sometimes the camera doesn't even fully pick up on them. For instance, when she's in a tag match and she's not in the ring at the time, I'll be paying more attention to her on the apron berating the fans, her opponents, and usually her own partners also, rather than the "action" that's going on in the ring.

Edit: And like Kelly Kelly, I always find it cute when she's placed in a completely ridiculous segment and just can't help but burst out laughing, even if she's clearly not supposed to have done so.

This probably sounds weird, but what first caught my eye about Maryse is that she reminded me of Candice Michelle. I guess it was the attitude, the robe, and perhaps the hairflip. idk. But as soon as I heard her speak, it was pretty much fangirl love at first sight. I thought the whole French thing was neat and different, and it really set her apart. Other than that, I liked the whole femme-fatale thing she had going on with her outfits and overall persona.

She just looked like a cool, sexy vampire type girl with an amazing accent who could do some avant-garde things in the ring. Some of her moves that she's since retired like the Camel Clutch and the Heel Kick were pretty innovative at the time when the Diva roster was pretty bland. She concentrated on being a submission/ground/grapple wrestler while other girls were aspiring to be the next Lita.

Obviously, my reasons for liking her have developed since then. But the impression she gave at first was incredible.
