World Wrestling Entertainment website is gendered towards male viewers. The web site   focuses on some of the socially constructed characteristics of what makes the site appealing to men.

Pictures of females being objectified; titles to photos of female wrestlers includes titles such as: ‘Kelly Kelly: crazy for camo’, and ‘Raw: Daily Diva’. The pictures of the women presented with the male gaze.  The women are presented as objects of desire for the men.

The site is also very tailored towards men by the kind of photos of the men in action on the site. The photos are very action-packed and show men in very powerful, dominating roles. Phrases like ‘No Mercy’ and ‘Hell in a Cell’. Majority of the photos on the site fall under the criteria we discussed in class the other day of how certain things in society are structured to appeal to men. The color of the site is black and does not contain bright colors, or pretty pictures of happy people, it shows photos of intense wrestling.

World Wrestling Entertainment presents very ideal spectator criteria for the male viewer.  The notion that this is very heavily gendered towards males also falls under the ideologies of men being strong and heroic.  Some of the connotations of the image that can be identified include sexuality and gender.
