The cable network is rolling out an intriguing slate of new projects, including a reality series following the lives of seven WWE rising starlets (think Stacy Keibler pre-George Clooney), the anticipated new series following music sensation The Wanted, a fan-driven talk show with überfan Ross Mathews, an innovative new interview show produced by Ashley Tisdale, a new "investigative" series from The Soup hosted by Joel McHale, a stereotype-busting show from producer Jack Osbourne and a look at Nick Cannon making over his grandma's house because...why not?Source
So apparently the Divas reality show being mentioned for the WWE Network is going to an actual network instead. I won't be watching it but it'll likely bring in a bunch of 13 year old boys.
This might have been interesting back when they had some marketable, interesting, and fapable Divas like Trish, Lita, Torrie, Stacy etc... but now it will be absolute death...
ReplyDeleteThis was my big fear about the network. I can handle one show like the Divas thing, and just not watch it. But if that shit is outweighing classics, I'm passing.
ReplyDeleteWhat network?
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Tough Enough languishes... *sigh*
ReplyDeleteWell, this solves zero problems with the Divas division...
ReplyDeleteThis summer, a new game show from E! WWE® Diva™ Kaitlyn™ takes on all comers in the Case Race Challenge™, sponsored by Coors®!
ReplyDeleteI would watch the hell out of this show. Also, yes I would hit it.
Whoops. Thought all that was for the WWE network.
ReplyDeleteWell at least TNA will finally beat a wwe show in the ratings
ReplyDeleteSo... they're gonna be wrestling less? more? please be less
ReplyDeleteJust read that it is going to follow the Bellas, Funkadactyles, Natalya and two rookies. Could they have picked any less interesting people to follow??
ReplyDeleteUnless they walk around in thongs and spontaneously start making out at random I don't see this show lasting long.
ReplyDeleteBellas = Cameos from Cena.
ReplyDeletePick anyone else? Isn't that basically the entire division? The fact that 1) this group is boring at shit and 2) there's no one else to choose from, speaks volumes about what a waste the Divas division has become. Why bother at this point? Either fully commit to a strong divas division, or do away with it and use those 10 minutes and run a lower mid-card match, give Kofi, Barrett, someone else promo time, etc.
ReplyDeleteWell could be a good thing if it actually gives the divas some personality.
ReplyDeleteFunny that you listed the IC and U.S. champions as lower mid-card... sad that you were accurate in doing so.
ReplyDeleteEven with that, this is one of the weakest groups of Divas. I'm not saying they are hideous or anything... but when was the last time we had a less doable group of Divas?
ReplyDeleteKaitlyn and AJ are two that might actually be interesting, maybe Layla too
ReplyDelete"WWE needs to smarten up and realize that they offer a unique product."
ReplyDeletethis x100
Let's see the models you're doing.
ReplyDeleteAnd Bryan.
ReplyDeleteAny defense I offered would likely be called a fake anyway... I'm just saying I expect a diva/celebrity to be something that doesn't seem real, like a fantasy object, and the current ones are nothing you can't see in a bar/club or some shit in Anytown USA.
ReplyDeleteThe WWE have zero confidence in themselves. I hate to bring up the Attitude Era but that was the time where they really did not give 2 shits what anyone thought or what anyone else was doing. The whole social media thing took them by such surprise that they still think they're playing catchup and have to imitate what everyone else is doing so the cool kids will watch
ReplyDeleteNatalya's story should be interesting to follow, the press release describe her as the perennial "bride's maid," always getting skipped over while others get the opportunity. Maybe we will get a sense of how she feels about this. Naomi's story might be interesting to follow as well, being the third wheel of the NXT Diva 3 of AJ, Kaitlyn, and Naomi. Not so interested in the Bellas and Cameron although it would be interesting to see how they felt about their Wrestlemania match getting cut since apparently the show starts there.
ReplyDeleteI get a sense that the WWE want to keep kayfabe with AJ's character thus they want to avoid getting too deep into her real persona. Interestingly that same consideration eliminates Kaitlyn from the show as well to avoid showing their friendship. Although it would have been fun seeing AJ interacting with Big E. Those two were a riot in the AJ Wrestlemania diary videos. I would totally watch the AJ and Big E Show.
ReplyDeleteWait a minute. A reality show about some what attractive people who have no real talent , and immediately want the spot-light without paying dues or earning it?
ReplyDeleteHow is this ever going to fit in with the E! Network?
It has nothing to do with who he's doing. It's supposed to be women ordinary people like ourselves have no chance with.
ReplyDeleteThe question should be if George Clooney or Alex Rodriguez would bang this crop of divas? Actually forget just banging. George is freaking engaged to one of them.
So the answer to that question is a resounding hell no.
Maybe AJ but she's not gonna even be on the show.
Don't forget Tyson Kidd.
ReplyDeleteFabulous Moolah, Judy Martin, Velvet McIntyre and Sherri Martell say hi...
ReplyDeleteOh wait, those were pre-divas.
Those are female wrestlers... not divas... or else I just didn't think of that and don't want to admit I was wrong. 50/50 either way.
ReplyDeleteAll of it number two as well.
ReplyDeleteCat fighting and backstage drama on the show leads to feud on WWE tv.
ReplyDeletechyna.
ReplyDeleteugh...
i used to love watching that burke chick in bikinis when i was like 16.
ReplyDeleteand that was my first of howard stern.
Ewwww
ReplyDeleteYeah, E! wasn't nearly as terrible back then. True Hollywood story was decent as well.
ReplyDeleteFor sure, but because WWE is PG now, there's no way they'd skank it up so maybe it'll lead to a feud over toothpaste or who washes and doesn't wash the dishes.
ReplyDeleteBS on the kayfabe. She was total out of ring, mark AJ in those videos.
ReplyDeleteYou need to watch NXT. Paige and Emma are both more than decent in the ring whilst maintaining a definite air of fapability.
ReplyDeleteI had a bit of a thing for Sherri. And you KNOW she'd be a maniac in the sheets.
ReplyDeleteWait...there's going to be a WWE Network? When is the launch date for that?
ReplyDeleteI wonder why Vince Russo doesn't write reality TV. I seriously can't think of a more perfect match.
ReplyDeleteWell...I'd say this was the most misogynistic, insulting thing I'd read all day, but I'm on the internet, so not even top ten. Bonus points for using "something" instead of "someone," I guess.
ReplyDeleteThe day after WrestleMania 28.
ReplyDeleteI'd of definitely of watched a show like this during the TV-14 bra and pannies heighday. Just like creating compelling wrestling programming, sex applel doesn't work in PG.
ReplyDeleteI honestly haven't watched E! since Talk Soup with Greg Kinnear and the days of SNL reruns.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough, the show could be unscripted and STILL be better than any Diva story line withing the past 4 years.
ReplyDeleteall that effort for the trademarks & registered trademarks. I'll give you an upvote.
ReplyDeleteI didn't find Wendy Richter hot at all. Or Rockin' Robin, for that matter. Now...Nicole Bass or Luna Vachon on the other hand...HUBBA HUBBA
ReplyDeletefantastic bod, I can give her that. Hell, I even like her face when she's not muggin for the camera
ReplyDeleteWild On!
ReplyDeletenow I just fap to her mammaries...er, memories.
I'm still waiting Playboy to make her an offer. I don't think she'd turn it down.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a waste of money to me, I don't see how a TV-PG Divas show like this really does well with their primarily adult audience. I guess they are trying to expand outward and bring in more of that younger demographic. Anything can happen in World Whacking Entertainment!
ReplyDeleteOh, cool, I must have missed that. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSable?
ReplyDeleteI really had a thing for Woman when she stopped being Robin Green... of course I was like 10...
ReplyDeleteSo basically The Ultimate Fighter
ReplyDeleteWow, that lineup looks exactly like the kind of programming Robert Wuhl made fun of in his great 1995 movie "Open Season". It's only a matter of time until they add a show about a vigilantie nun.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bigger mystery than why Don West isn't an infomercial pitchman by now. Another totally perfect match and Don's at least a lot more likeable than that Anthony Sullivan douchebag.
ReplyDeleteBut without the profanity and without Roy Nelson winning just by sitting on everybody.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Fitness Beauties and Bikini All-Stars on MAVTV are much better shows than what this show will surely be. Even Doheny Models still had hot chicks wearing skimpy attire in-between all of the complaining about the day-to-day horrors of a modeling agency.
ReplyDeleteOpen season is soooooo good
ReplyDeleteTo me that's the problem with the divas. Are they eye candy? Because the pg thing cools off lots of sex appeal. Are they really supposed to be wrestlers? Seems unlikely. Are they actresses enhancing the show? IMO this show will fail miserably
ReplyDeleteI've never been a womens wrestling fan and I'm even into the knockouts and Tara rules! The knockouts being sexier helps but they are actually interesting characters and IMO Tara is pushing Trish for the goat
ReplyDeleteI agree outside of aksana. She's so terrible in the ring but so hot and has a great voice. I don't know why they split her from Cesaro. The other divas are no hotter than girls I see walking down the street. And probably just as good of wrestlers
ReplyDeleteJust because you know they signed up for something in which they'd be leered at by leacherous perverts doesn't mean you need to proudly be one.
ReplyDeleteThat's what they are there for. That is how I and others can and should view them. I doubt you'd have been offended if a female had made the same or similar comments about the SUPERSTARS.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you'd think thirteen year old boys today probably have access to way more vulgar stuff and that they wouldn't even bother with this rinky dink stuff.
ReplyDelete
