If WWE starts to label guys like Bryan, Rhodes, Sin Cara, Chavo, Tatsu, Kidd, etc... as Junior's then that's what they are. Just like in WCW the idea of Rey winning the World Title is laughable. But in WWE it became very plausible and no big deal. It would be hard for Cody Rhodes to go from Cruisweight Champ to World Champ for example, just in the eyes of the fans after they get used to him in the lighter division. |

LOL awesome, my heros.

Example 1. Just have someone clear out the division. If someone becomes so dominant, they could start facing bigger guys to prove themselves. AKA, someone who is too "big" (ego) for the divison. Example 2. Royal Rumble winner. Example 3. Royal Rumble Elimination. Have a cruiser eliminate a big name in the Rumble. HAve the big name challenge them, have the cruiser win. If the big name wins the title or something later, the feud is already built. Example 4. Money in the bank. There are ways to move a cruiser into the main event, if needed. Furthermore, one of the reasons Mysterio as champ in WCW would have been a joke was because for the most part, he was treated crappy outside the division. He was lawn darted into things by Nash, etc. They were never meant to be taken seriously outside of the division. WWE could (but probably wouldn't) build the division as a group of superstars who are credible threats to people. This just have to emphasize that the class is based on weight. |
I guess this is why you left me in a neck brace in the Wrestling Forum Championship :(

Tough Enough is rigged
– In a story about WWE Tough Enough winner Andy Leavine on WWE.com, they point out that he will be heading to FCW to “fine tune his skills.”
It's been reported that Andy was already in FCW, wrestling under a different name, before Tough Enough. What a joke. They really didn't bring in an outside guy at all. It's all rigged. I mean, on one hand, I gotta give the WWE props for picking a possible future replacement down the road for Undertaker in his size, etc, and not another pretty boy. But, everytime I read stuff like this, I just see it as it is. |
Hey bro. Wrestling in general is rigged. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but I just see it as it is.
|
Wrestling rigged? BULLSHIT!
|
Oh man.
I thought it was pretty common knowledge that some of the guys had opted out of their FCW contracts (which aren't always WWE development deals I think) in order to compete in Tough Enough. |
You, Adam, and Andy should go fuck each other in the ass with chainsaws.

on that note, we cue the it's still real to me damnit video

I am surprised that anybody is surprised by this shocking revelation.
I hope they don't introduce Tyler Black to the WWE Universe in this shoddy fashion. |

Well, he won and he's back to where he was where he started? Seems about right since he didn't deserve to win to begin with.

Everyone was so eager to jump on the sarcasm express and shit all over the poster, that it seems most of you missed the point AEF was trying to make.
Season 1 of Tough Enough was, for all intents and purposes, a "reality" show. They found flat out nobodies and turned them into superstars overnight... if you recall, Maven got a lot of shit and resentment for winning a job "overnight" most guys in the 'E at the time worked the better part of a decade or more to get. Season 2 and foward sought to eliminate some of the preliminary "dead weight" (and some of the backstage resentment) by asking participants to actually HAVE a wrestling background, but still, it was moving towards a shot at working WWE, which none of them did. What Mr. Fan was trying to say, though not so elegantly, was that now, it's pretty much a joke- an angle. Not only are the guys in the "competition" ALREADY more or less under contract with the company via FCW, but that it seemed that this guy was already given the keys to the kingdom before the first episode was even in the can. It's not so much the "GASP! IT'S SCRIPTED?!" reaction, it's the fact that Tough Enough, like NXT, the whole production is a total angle from start to finish designed to do the work that vignettes for debuting wrestlers used to. (Example, NXT 1 was merely a tool to set up all those guys for the Nexus angle... didn't truly matter that Barrett "won", they all got called up anyway.) A far cry from the original show. They could essentially just eliminate all this "stupidity" and fabricated "contests" simply by televising FCW. |
And the point you're missing is wrestling is scripted as fuck.

So what you're saying is, you're not above ruining a thread to make yourself feel better. Is this the kind of KoTWF you want tpww? Let me take this to the Wrestling Forum Champion thread

Not everyone in FCW will make it to the big time of WWE.
I think what Andy Leavine did was smart. He asked for his release from FCW so he could become a contestant on Tough Enough and compete against only 13 other contestants, some you just knew wouldn't win. Doing that made his chances of making it to the WWE a lot greater as the WWE does have the habit of giving contracts to people who don't even win the shows. So even if he didn't win, he'd have a better chance of getting a WWE contract over waiting around in FCW for a few years, hoping someone notices him and calls him up to the WWE and before being released from his FCW contract happens. Also, it allowed him to be trained by Booker T & Co. That's not bad either. |
