In this day and age, is anybody else surprised that they haven't done a Reality series about the lives of WWE Superstars on the road? You can't go 2 channels now without seeing some type of Reality show. This is one that I wouldn't mind watching. Sure it would break kayfabe, but that's been long dead now anyway. People they MUST feature would be those like Cena, Miz, Morrison, Punk, MVP, the Hardys, and maybe family man Triple H. Personally, I just think it's long overdue. Hell, it might even cause more people to start watching.

Tough Enough was bad enough.

You answered the question. Kayfabe may be dead to us but IT'S STILL REAL TO VINCE!
Plus if they are marketing towards kids (note, I said IF) then it'd be like dropping the Santa Claus bombshell.

They wouldn't be talking about matches/storylines or anything. It would just be about their life on the road: interacting with each other and fans, making appearances, and stuff like that. It wouldn't be about wrestling and wrestlers. It would be more about the people behind the wrestlers during the course of a normal day on the road. I know I'd find that interesting.

I know, I'd find that interesting too, but I'm guessing that it would the reason why not. They protect Cena to the point where he can't mention his personal life at all so they won't be to high on a show following him and others around.

I would have KILLED to see a Reality Show where the wrestlers were forced to be in character for like 8 weeks straight while in a house with eachother.
JBL
Viscera
Santino
Godfather
Festus
HBK
Jimmy Wang Yang
and Batista
It would be Epic.

Perhaps it'd be more welcomed by WWE if the wrestler profiled was someone in FCW. The show could document what it takes to get to the WWE through development, have some behind the scenes workings, let fans get to know the wrestler's family, etc.
I'm really shocked something like this hasn't been in development, at least. I mean Tough Enough exposed the business to the same degree something like this would. You don't have to have the workers going over the finishes necessarily, but I think it'd be an excellent program.

Keep in mind that most "reality" shows are scripted in some fashion, so they probably could get away with a program that doesn't expose too much.
That being said, I'm surprised that no one has tried to pitch a "Housewives of Orange County" type show where they follow the Divas around. Cat fights and bitchiness seem to sell as far as tv shows go.

They used to do stuff like this on WWE.com.
The one I remember was their own version of Cribs (showcasing wrestlers' houses).

Too much of a big deal is made of this. It's not as common as critics think it is...

I'd love it personally, but Vince would never allow it. I wish Tough Enough would come back though.

JBL Viscera Santino Godfather Festus HBK Jimmy Wang Yang and Batista It would be Epic. Seeing as all of those Superstars would have to be guzzling beer by the gallon, it would be great to watch Punk's violent reactions. Personally, I've wondered why they haven't tried it. Hogan knows best has done well. I say it would be gold, to just do it for maybe an hour a day. People want to see that babyfaces aren't always happy and righteous. Besides, some of the divas are bisexual, I believe. Call me a pervert, but I think any WWE reality show would be a hit. Jillian blabbering about her hubby, Batista and Cena talking about hotrods, Trips doting on wallet-sized photos of his kids, family phone calls (only not any that would be rude or in bad taste like a family member dying) and an aggravated Punk who's the only one sober enough to drive. |

Not a bad concept considering Vinnie Macs desire to branch out. I remember Tough Enough, and unfortunately it suffered the Charles Bronson's Death Wish Syndrome (First movie was great, but the sequels were terrible.).
