Brooke Adams Questions Why Sex Appeal Is Now Frowned Upon In Women’s Wrestling – Former WWE and TNA star Brooke Adams has opened up about her belief that being openly sexy in women’s wrestling has become unnecessarily stigmatized. Speaking during a WrestlingNewsCo interview with SoCal Val, Adams reflected on her career, her identity as a sex symbol, and why she feels that confidence and sex appeal should not be treated as something negative in today’s wrestling landscape.

Adams explained that early in her career, she embraced her sex symbol persona not only as part of her character but as a way to connect with fans. One moment in particular made her realize the impact she was having. She recalled seeing young girls at a gas station mimicking her look and mannerisms, which reassured her that what she and others were doing resonated with fans in a positive way. For Adams, that experience confirmed that representation and confidence mattered.

Now a mother, Adams acknowledged that she often hears criticism suggesting that her past image should no longer be acceptable because she has children. She made it clear that she strongly disagrees with that mindset.

“I don’t know. I wish I knew. I can’t stand it. And I get it a lot because now I have kids. I’m now, I’m a mom,” Adams said.

She pushed back on the idea that being confident or sexy somehow sends the wrong message to her children.

“They’re like, ‘Oh, now all of a sudden I really can’t.’ And I’m like, ‘Why? I am not standing here butt naked in front of my kid, you know, prancing around oozing or whatever. What I prance around is confidence. Confidence. And my daughter’s going to be confident.’”

Adams also questioned why embracing sex appeal has become controversial at all.

“I don’t understand why all of a sudden you can’t be sexy anymore. You can’t lean into being a sex symbol. Well, it’s wrong wanting to be a sex symbol?” she asked.

Looking back, Adams cited several influential figures who shaped her vision of what she wanted to be in wrestling and entertainment.

“Honey, I grew up wanting to be Sable,” she said. “Yes, but give me Chyna vibes. But I’m so little.”

She also mentioned Tori, Carmen Electra, and Jenny McCarthy as inspirations, blending strength, confidence, and sex appeal into one presentation. Adams concluded by expressing frustration that modern wrestling often feels darker and less open to that balance, questioning when and why that shift happened.
