The Extras & Memories

WWE Main Event is a one-hour televised special on the Ion Network, and focuses on wrestling, and has little time allotted towards storylines or an over-use of interviews/promos. For the die-hard wrestling fan, who tunes in to exclusively watch wrestling, this is a positive

The negatives around the show are that it is only an hour, and doesnt showcase all of the mid-card talent, or those who did not appear on a RAW show, two nights before on Monday. Some wrestlers we see on RAW, and also have a second match on the Main Event show. How much is too much? How much is overkill, to the point where it gets redundant or repetitive?

As for the other show, it is a behind-the-scenes type of deal that has features and in-depth looks of superstars outside of the squared circle. This is a E-network special, called Total Divas.Yes, it does give an inside look of how writing and promo work is done, along with the physical training at the NXT/WWE Performance center. I for one, enjoy the show; and it does give a good look as to how the TV shows are produced, presented and all of the pre-takes before it.

Quite personally, I also miss Tough Enough, also But thats another story.

Total Divas also discusses some of the real life couples of some of the major WWE stars, and gives a view of what life is like for those couples; outside the ring and related social interactions.

You, being the reader and my fellow audience- what do you think of the two shows? Good? Bad? Indifferent?

WWE Tough Enough was a TV show that would take contestants and average Joes and Jills who may or may not have had athletic backgrounds, but were to be taught some of the introductions about the business. It was a hard knocks type of course, that became a stepping stone for some talent to enter the business, and do so in an abbreviated format- through Tough Enough which endorsed said competitor(s) to be eligible for Primetime, and other additional training.

Tough Enough started with 4-5 trainers and in its inception was Al Snow, who now works for TNA Impact Wrestling. Other featured trainers were Tazz, Chavo Guererro, Tori and Jacqueline. Tazz and Chavo also have plied their trade in the ring, like Snow- and they too have found their way also to Impact Wrestling. Bob Hardcore Holly Howard is also a trainer during the first season(s), and was a WWE star as well.
