Now that Maven is released...

...can we admit the whole reality TV concept just does not do anything for the WWE?

I can understand the argument that the Diva Search at least brings ratings. Fine. But what about the fact that now the roster is dragged down by all these useless tramps who can't do shit but demand big money?

And what the hell has Tough Enough brought to the table? During the MTV years, TE was watchable, but it never made huge money for the company. And now the segments on SD are worth a tiny boost in the ratings....but what the hell did it do in the long-term?

Maven. Injury prone bust who never developed from day one. Nowinski. Nothing special, then injured. Josh. Announcer. Bad Announcer. Nidia. A career highlighted by being a trailer trash slut. Linda & Jackie.

The most successful graduates of this show have been Johnny Nitro ( who I swear to god you could go to any indy fed in the country and find someone better) and Matt Morgan (?!) and Cappotelli who has an incomplete at this point.

I'm not even counting thie guys form this last TE since both fianlists had national exposure before the show and the WWE would've 'discovered' them no matter what.

Stop the reality TV. It does nothing but give TV time to a group of people who will never do a thing in the WWE that could be going towards building up the characters of workers who might actually, you know, contribute.
