In professional wrestling, a Diva is a term used by World Wrestling Entertainment for a beautiful woman employed primarily as a wrestler and sometimes "eye candy".

Regular consumption (viewing) of pro wrestling, then, has the power to teach children cognitive scripts such as how to handle conflict situations (violence is the norm in pro wrestling), and how to view the opposite sex (i.e., through watching wrestling, boys might learn to view girls primarily as sex objects).
In sum, results indicate that in teachers’ experience, professional wrestling is a negative influence on the children who are fans of it.
