I thought Cena had moved FROM Raw? And why does Mark Henry still have a job?

Played All-Stars for a couple of hours last night with friends, really addictive and enjoyable game once you get the hang of it.

This is probably going to sound like a dumb question, but for anyone who watches the new Tough Enough, how the hell do they manage to go a full programme which is based on teaching people how to wrestle, without mentioning the word 'wrestler' or 'wrestling'? (which according to the internet and PowerSlam WWE staff are now ordered to avoid saying because of their attempts to move away from wrestling).

he moved back again,

once again, smackdown gets shafted.

So Christian is the new world heavyweight champion..

Oh right, cheers mate, what an absolute joke - is it any wonder no-one ever takes WWE seriously these days?! E.g. Cena's 'retirement' late last year. Big mistake moving him back IMO, it could have really helped SmackDown, + may have helped freshen Cena up (been very stale as a character for a long-time IMO).

Just thinking, I reckon Cena has now been a babyface for over seven years (since around Royal Rumble 2004). Does this make him the longest-running babyface since Hogan's run from something like 1984-1996?!

Good for him, has deserved to have that kinda push for many years I feel. However, if they have put it on him simply because of sentiment (Edge's retirement) then I hope there isn't a backlash like when Mysterio was given it on the back of Eddie's death. Christian is better then that IMO, and deserves to be there on merit.

Lol, yeah, some of it is silly (e.g. the way you can reach someone with a move such as a flying clothesline from nearly any distance! ), but I'm enjoying it more then any SmackDown v Raw game I've played in a long, long time (or that TNA game, which unfortunately I found a big let-down after they'd hyped it so much ).

Moving Cena, then moving him back is a waste of time and is totally opposite to what WWE wants to do with the draft ie shake up the landscape and get people interested in the possibilities of new rivalries.

I mean SD has been massively weakened by the draft IMO. You've lost your top heel to Raw, unless Orton is getting a heel turn. But even so, there's very little talent at the top of the SD roster that would make me want to watch the show

That's what I find so baffling - SD has struggled for years (compared to Raw), forever trying to shake the 'B show' tag. Cena is the most recognisable face in wrestling today (sorry, 'action adventure' ), his move would have given them a huge boost, and like you said could have opened up so many new fueds and angles.

Get the impression that WWE are afraid to take risks these days (in some aspects anyway).

Well, Cena is the company face, champion or not. Raw is the A show. So it makes no sense to move your top star off the A show.

TBH, the only time SD was pushing it's way out of being the B show was when Paul Heyman was in charge of booking.

Have to disagree there mate. I reckon the increase in SmackDown's ratings would be more then a decrease for Raw - he's been stale as hell on Raw for so long, what's left for him to do?

Yeah they're awesome aren't they, we managed to complete quite a few last night. Especially love the Warrior v Sheamus one, the Ultimate Warrior is still the greatest nutty wrestler of all-time!

how do you watch Tough Enough??
Is it streamed or on TV?
