Something occurred to me about the upcoming Tough Enough on Smackdown!:


They are only talking about men competing. On the one hand, folks will say this is to give gender balance to the Diva Search garbage on RAW - but there's another, logical reason: there's no Women's Division on SD!. Since there's nothing for them to aim for, there'd be no point in them competing.


With that fact, it would make more sense to switch them... SD! could have a new vapid Barbie Doll, RAW an actual worker - but SD! is the roster in need of some fresh talent to bolster a thin roster... so I guess it makes sense.

With this episode of RAW done, all I can really say is "Ehh".


Oh, the matches were pretty entertaining, and the set-up for Randy Orton's feud with HHH was good - but the people that really needed break-out stories - Kane and Orton himself - just didn't really have it.


Despite setting up his feud, Orton still hasn't sold me as a main eventer yet - and while there were some fun extra-curriculars around the wedding (Trish got some killer burn lines!), I still don't see how this can elevate his game.
