I dont think we'll be able to get an idea of what they'll do to the company until they officially take over. I dont think Steph really knows what to do, but HHH is someone who has a true passion for the business and understands it.
I like Kevin Thorns character, he's not an actual vampire, he's a follower of "vampirism" which is something a lot of odd people out there actually do.

What I'm talking about is there needs to be more characters like WCW/ECW/WWF from the late '90s/2000/2001. Guys like Austin, The Rock, Mick Foley, Triple H, Taker (ministry Taker), Goldberg, Hollywood Hogan, Hall, Nash, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, Taz, RVD, The Dudleys, etc.
They desperately need help with their storylines. The storylines like Austin/McMahon, DX/Hart Foundation, Austin/Bret Hart, Austin/The Rock, Triple H/Foley, Undertaker/Kane, Ministry of Darkness, The Corporation, DX/NOD, etc. were some of the best storylines in the history of the business. Why? They took chances and didn't stick to the same old script. They had surprises, had more title changes even on RAW and SmackDown, they had edgy adult/reality based storylines. It was enjoyable back then. Now they've gone backwards, it seems... back to 1993.

They've said on TV MANY times that Kevin Thorn isn't a vampire. He dresses like one and goes to bite clubs. Believe it or not, people do that in America. So technically it is a reality based gimmick. I'm all for Tough Enough, I thought as an actual show it was good. Not on Smackdown. Exactly the thought that came to mind. Thorn never claimed to be dead or any thing, he's just in favor of the lifestyle.

i don't think they'll ruin it. sure, they'll make decisions people won't agree with, but you can't please everybody.
but i do agree that a lot needs to change. cut the crappy gimmicks and make some better storylines.

I can agree with not bringing back Tough Enough, but not for that reason...my logic is that TE has only produced one, maybe two successful wrestlers in the 4 years it ran.

Now they've gone backwards, it seems... back to 1993. see that era of wrestling you are talking about ruined wrestling today & taught you guys the wrong way to to do wrestling . they had too many title changes & that was because of vince Russo & killed what a title meant.wrestling was spead up too much then & know you guys act like that is how it suppose to be in first place but it is not the way it is suppose to be..it seems like most of you are a bunch of ADA cases. it seems all of you have very short attention span.the 1970's & 1980's are how you are suppose to do wrestling . i grew up in era where titles were held for almost a year & real champions where made .no this attitude crap you believe in . the greatest era of wrestling was 70's & 80's not the attitude era.vince russo & attutude era ruined wrestling today.

Chuck Norris will ruin WWE.
With all jokes aside, its all down to what direction Vince puts the WWE in now for the future.

I do think that the Triple H/Stephanie regime will severely weaken the WWE( and possibly destroy the company), but it has nothing to do with Tough Enough and trying to keep the business secrets " hidden".
I just think Stephanie has no clue at all about how the wrestling business works. HHH obviously has a passion for wrestling, but his ego and clique, combined with Stephanie's cluelessness, might lead to some really dark days down the road.

To be honest, i had Tough Enough. It is rubbish as is the diva search besides the entertainment value of girl's doing flaunting stuff.

Whoa, whoa, hold on a second. So we have to accept whatever crap WWE throws on tv? No thanks, I can think for myself and I'm not a sheep. If you would like to just lower your standards along with WWE, then by all means do it. You're complaining about how the attitude era 'ruined' wrestling, yet when someone else said that WWE is dying, all you could say was 'stop hating and enjoy it'.

They've already ruined it. This is just the beginning of the seeds that have been planted since their wedding in 03.

look at the stars it had made John Hennigan Matt Cappotelli Matt Morgan Kenny Layne Jackie Gayda Josh Mathews Christopher John Nowinski Maven Huffman they all don't have wrestling skills but they are well known the best out of them all is definitely John Hennigan

So I'm guessing it would be as a TV show like the first 3, and not just a segment on SD like the 4th? I guess it would be decent, though very few TE winners amounted to anything.
Maven - Gone Nidia - Gone Shaniqua - Gone Miss Jackie - Gone Matt Capotelli - Would have been good but unfortunately got cancer. John Morrison - Only successful winner.
And there were a few others that did some stuff later that didn't actually win the competition.
Ah well, I guess I wouldn't mind a TE5.

Tough Enough was pretty good IMO... They gave the WWE fans a shot. BUT I think they should just do a little thing like they are with the Divas, but have them be Male superstars and lets us all vote and all that crap or w/e. Its all set up
