Thurman "Sparky" Plug, Is that Holly's idea of paying your dues?

Holly is an idiot,a bully and he has less talent than my little toe would have if it were amputated after a freak car accident!

Meh, I agree with all of that. There are guys in the indies that have been struggling for years that are at least on par with those currently in the WWE, but instead of giving them a shot, they're just taking random people, throwing them in some fly by night training program, and saying, "okay, you're a superstar now". I just don't feel that.

I think even as a wrestler myself, I'd rather be able to look back and know that I earned everything I got, whether the furthest I made it was a dark match or a World Title.

Just my one and a half cents though.

Really not just any random person. The person that wins is the winner of a competition with 100s of people in it, who they were able to prove to a group of pro wrestlers they are better than. The point obviously, is that airing a show on TV makes the WWE a lot of money. And the winner isn't guaranteed to be in the WWE, they only are awarded with a devepmental contract for one year, in which time they are given the same chance as everybody else. The fact that a guy like Maven made it to the main roster so soon just goes to show that the show is probably an effective way of picking out talented people.

At the end of the day, if the winner does not have talent, they are not gonna be on TV no matter what.

The winner had damn well better have talent, though. It's not like they took a random panel of unqualified people.

As I've said before, you look at Tuff Enough and what it stands for to people...Who can blame people for wanting a shot at this? Like Sparky wouldn't have jumped at this if it had beenan option for him...Or maybe he wouldn't...I doubt he'd make the cut.

I don't watch the show, but it's an outlet to find people you might not otherwise find...And you take hundreds of those people, thin them out, and give one guy a shot at making it into the WWE. This is NOT a bad system, though I can see where wrestlers would be jealous. But you know what? If I was given a shot like this, I would NOT say "No thanks, I'd rather pay my dues for 15 years and maybe get a shot some day down the line."
