They pulled Tough Enough off of the USA NOW app. Did they shitcan it altogether?

Seems more like they just wanted to get everything Hogan off their recent history, which considering he was on an episode as recently as 2 weeks ago makes sense

Cena is very good on the mic, it just sucks when the content of his well delivered promo is essentially 'and you're POOP, JACK! BECAUSE I'LL NEVER GIVE UP!' and then he actually does never give up

how dramatic

I don't know but Vince and co. are apparently furious that ZZ keeps winning the fan vote and doesn't get eliminated. They keep trying to manipulate everything so he gets dumped there every week but the fans won't vote him off. This show is a trainwreck.

So ZZ is going to win, get publicly humiliated, then never show up again until he gets quietly let go?

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

Well he could go on to have a Maven level career where he...uh...teamed with Al Snow and eliminated the Undertaker that one time. That's pretty much all I remember about Maven's career.

To be fair even if the ones they wanted to win won they'd still make them look like absolute poo poo just to say "WELCOME TO THE BIG LEAGUES KID" like they always do. It's just if ZZ wins it they'll have Cole bury him as well.

If I can still talk about Cena I think he's a great worker and his promos are usually pretty good but all the recent stuff about how every heel is "less of a man" makes me feel really uncomfortable in the worst way.

I mean; at least calling people gay is just a bog-standard insult. His obession with manliness and how he's a big man and everyone else is a small man or a half man makes it feel like there's some underlying sexual dimension to the whole thing and I kind of just want to crawl into a hole whenever I have to hear it.

All those WWE "documentaries" about the Attitude Era make it seem like Vince begrudgingly gave more creative freedom to the wrestlers that he didn't want to do but it saved his company from the evil billionaire Ted Turner so that was cool for a few years I guess

Why does everyone hate Cena's promos anyway? In between all the "the champ is HEEEEEEEEEAAA" stuff, I always felt like like he's one of WWE's top guys on the mic. He's fast, he's clever, he has an answer for everything, and he doesn't sound like he's reading off a teleprompter. One of my favorite moments in recent WWE was the Montreal RAW where the crowd was "CENA SUX"ing more than usual, and five minutes later they were popping for him. Am I in the minority, or am I just a shameless mark?

"Good evening <place we are in>. My name is John Cena and the CHAMP IS HERE. Now I am going to talk about how I am a good person. Now I will talk about my opponent who is a bad person. I am a man. They are probably not. I am very tough and overcome odds. My opponent deserves respect, but only after I give them this cheap pop backhanded compliment. Now I will say a catchphrase. Good night!" Ad infinitum.
