Where are you watching this? I fon't see it on the network.

It's on YouTube.

Tessa Blanchard is hot, but her teeth are almost too white. Like, she should probably smile at her opponents to blind them.

I'd be interested to see how something like this would do on television. I know they need original content for the Network and all, but you can always upload it after the fact. Stuff like this, with a limited viewing commitment, could actually catch fire a bit.

Probably something in the range of taped era Smackdown for viewers and impact. Biggest benefit is if the tournament then leads to a weekly Women's show since by then you have the core audience built over the course of several weeks/months.

Huh? They are doing the tournament on YouTube right now?

No, no, no -- just that 14-minute thing where they introduce each competitor and they pose there as the commentators talk about them.

I have to say -- Lita didn't bother me as much as I thought she would. She was well-rehearsed here. It'll be interesting to see how she goes calling actual matches though.

Possibly, but I also think that having something that you know is going to end at a certain point in time might have the benefits of spiking a higher rating than an ongoing year-round show. The limit of the commitment might make things more digestible and encourage more investment.

I imagine lot of these women will either be used in NXT or on the main roster very soon.

Oh, ok. Watching it now.

Buncha good lookers in this one, and in the end, isn't that what is most important? :shifty:

Yeah like with regular tv shows, the finale is usually the highest rated show and gets the most interest.

If the WWE followed the style of the CWC tournament, at most it would only need 2 months to finish. WWE's problem was not having Cruiser stuff ready for RAW nor 205 Live when the tournament ended so the division lost a lot of steam.

Bianca Belair is beautiful...... has a good look / attitude and seems like she could be "a star" imo

I wonder what TPWW Poster Jazzy Foot thinks of Jazzy Gabert

Someone in the WWE must have been a big fan of Global Guts.

What is Global Guts

An old kids gameshow on Nickelodeon where the winners won a trophy that looked a bit similar for design.

HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS?!



Mike O'Malley hosted and Moira Quirk served as the ref for all the events.

There would be four events.

Contestants would score 300 points for a win in an event, 200 for second place, and 100 for third place.

Final standings for each episode could be decided at the final, mega-event, the Aggro Crag/Super Aggro Crag. The 3 contestants each had their own color-coded lane on a giant mountain structure, and they each had to race up simultaneously hitting every actuator on the way up, including one at the peak. If a contestant failed to stay in their own lane on the way up or hit an actuator before the final one, they could be DQ'd on the crag and receive only the 3rd place allotment of 375 points. Second on the Crag earned 550 and first, 725, and whoever had the most points won a gold medal and "a glowing piece of the radical rock", supposedly taken from the Crag. Each show ended with a medal ceremony with bronze, silver and gold and the piece of the rock awarded. Then the 3 contestants would all take a lap around a track in the arena as the credits played.

Did not have Nickelodeon channel in Canada........

Weird. I was always under the impression they did. Probably at least in part because the Canadian You Can't Do That on Television is what created, or helped create what became Nickelodeon in the U.S. c. the early-mid '80s.

The round-two brackets have been released:



If I had to guess, I'd say we're building towards a:

I change my vote:

Why do your brackets start at Round 2....... closed it down because I don't want Round 1 spoilers......

Yep. Tapings took place for the First Round matches last night (7/13), and the rest, except the Final (which airs LIVE on the WWE Network September 12th), will be taped tonight (7/14), with 4 episodes released August 28th and 4 more on September 4th.

We had pretty much all the cartoons on other channels, but I guess not all shows.

Or maybe we did have that show too and I just never watched it......

Round 1 was taped today. Sorry, I've edited that to be more clear.

So much housework and sandwich making not getting done

Where can I get a piece of that radical rock from the Agro Crag?

I'd have preferred a JR/Renee Young booth.

I lost a significant amount of interest in this when Nixon Newell got injured.

Oh, 100%.

The final is set:

Jazzy Gabert impressed the Full Sail audience. Hopefully The Alpha Female gets a look and finds herself featured. Lots of talent for developmental in this thing.

My hopes on what happens with the winner:

Seems some in-fighting in regards to the status of women's wrestling in the WWE is happening again.

Supposedly some within WWE are upset the tournament was held because the focus was made towards skills and not beauty as the priority for selections.

For some reference, Kevin Dunn is likely one of those people based on past stories about him and his views on women wrestling.

Weren't good looking enough for WWE or Kevin Dunn standards?

Ugh, when are they going to learn that the Kelly Kelly "era" was literally a joke everytime the women "wrestled" and that you can't alienate half the potential viewers right from the get go.

Both since he's been one of the big negative influences for that aspect of wrestling. Him and Johhny Ace were two of the biggest influences for that era's style of wrestling. Think with Ace, his main hiring standards were men's magazine and night clubs.

WWE didn't start to gradually change their views till after Ace got fired. Lead to the more positive NXT era of women's wrestling happening as a result.

Bump, since this is on the Network now. First episode pretty good so far.

Zeda is a very attractive Asian female.

They dont hire many ugly males either FTR. But I agree that looks should be secondary.
