No I think (IIRC) Jackson beat him in the main event of the final ECW TV taping, might be wrong though.

I'm normally the first to slag off WWE and their often poor booking, but the Nexus and John Cena stuff has been riveting TV.

Barrett needs to win this Sunday though or his momentumn is instantly killed off!

Why bring back Tough Enough. Isn't that what NXT is now?

Ah right, now I get ya.

Hey have a look on that popular video sharing website for a recent Vince McMahon speech, asking the WWE Universe (God I hate that term - how lame can they get?! ) to speak out for WWE against the haters, or something like that (from what I can gather they've come in for a lot of stick since Linda started her election campaign).

Aye, because of Linda's involvement with WWE, her opponents have tried to use negative spin of the WWE to harm her campaign.

WWE is responding by getting its fans to "Stand Up for WWE" by showing a series of clips / facts that put a positive spin on the company. One of it's biggest emphasis is on its charity work with Make A Wish and Support the Troops with video messages from Obama and Bush to name just two.

No, I'd say Tough Enough is like the X Factor. Where as NXT is just like the X Factor live shows. In all seriousness, the point of NXT is to give their guys in development in Florida etc a chance for some real exposure and real network time. Tough Enough is open to the public to enter.

Actually really enjoyed the old Tough Enough back when Al Snow was the head trainer.

So has anyone shown their support for WWE then?

I say fook em, they're getting my support by me attending their TV tapings next month.

Everything the politicians have said about Linda McMahon and the WWE is true though

Lol, yeah I noticed that as well.

Are they plugging her campaign to death on WWE TV at the moment then?
