although isn't it quite late after Raw finishes? Raw ends at 11 PM on the east coast, so if Tough Enough is an hour long show, the wrestling block won't end until midnight. I can't imagine one of the "special" three hour Raws followed by another hour of wrestling content. I'm a fan and all, but that's a bit too much for me to take in one shot. I have difficulty watching a four hour Wrestlemania, and that's supposed to be the wrestling show I'm more amped up for than any other. (Yes, I realize the irony of somebody who has attended several SHIMMER tapings saying this.)

I voted and hope Annie gets a shot on Tough Enough. Her risque past could pose a possible problem though. Considering the WWE let Aloisia go for some "controversial" pics she took, lets hope they make an exception in Annie's case. Because Annie does have the looks and skills to be successful in WWE.

I disagree with working an angle inbetween trainers. Once you start manipulating it more than reality shows already do to a certain extent, you're moving away from it being about the trainees and more about the wrestlers. As Ryan said, TUF has managesd to do both for the past, 11, 12?! seasons without any problem. It's really a scandal as people often describe the TUF coaching wars as "WWE like" angles, but WWE itself wasn't smart enough to do it when they had their own show. The difference between TUF trainers and TE trainers is that the TUF trainers are in their prime, while TUF trainers - while accomplished - are there because WWE has nothing else for them to do at that point. I doubt anyone would have paid money to see an Al Snow/Bill DeMott match on pay-per-view.

I think the main thing working against her is she actually has a clue about the wrestling business. We all know WWE hates that

Sometimes it's not the "best" player that makes the best coach and I believe the original TE trainers were chosen with this in mind. Al Snow, Hardcore Holly, Ivory and Jacqueline were the biggest examples of this in the WWf/e at that time. Fans may not have cared about those wrestlers but through watching the show I bet they walked away with a greater respect for them as performers. A guy told me he had now idea Ivory and Jacqueline "hit as hard as the men" and of course, Al Snow got more TV time to showcase his charisma which was always great.

Spotted another applicant with a Shimmer connection. She Nay Nay's called Athanasia here and could do with some more votes. www.realitywanted.com/member/id/193204Also good to see Bobby Fish in the mix - if the WWE take any notice of this list this could be a decent show.

And it matters in trying to attract WWE's less dedicated fanbase who are less interested in ring-work and more interested in shwmanship and storylines. Even if it's not worked, a rivalry for who's a better trainer will interest people.

Is the cast being determined by an internet vote?
