I think she's Ashley from the Pussycat Dolls, but others are denying this.

Requisite eye candy. I am not giving up on it yet, but its got to do something in the next episode or the wheels aren't going to stay on. This show is a bunch of old men who are all uncomfortable and it makes us uncomfortable. There doesn't seem to be any sort of catalyst that can change that dynamic. One of my guilty pleasures is The Challenge on MTV as I used to watch the Real World all the time when I was younger. I stopped watching that regularly a few years ago, but I still will watch the competitive version from time to time. I think if they did something like that with Legends, it could work. A Real World style show seems like it would be hard to pull off with much older people, wrestlers or not. I think there will need to be a running tally of prostate jokes by the time this season is over. If there was a more competitive element, it would at least add a bit of intrigue.

I think they need to do a group activity or something... maybe a game, or something.
Like an actual tennis tournament would have been cool.
It's a bit boring, but there are small parts of entertainment. Piper flipping off Hacksaw, Tony Atlas calling it a wake up dong, that stuff was great.
I did get a little sad seeing how old these guys are though. That made me realize how long I've been watching wrestling and how these guys can't do what they used to. Piper with the Whey Protein shake that I use made me think that they are clinging to their old routines.

Admittedly I only caught half the episode, but I don't know if I'll keep watching it or not. We'll see I guess, probably just boil down to whether or not I have anything to do when it comes on. You know you can watch it any time you like On Demand right? Right, I just don't think it's good enough to bother watching on its own rather than just catching it while it's playing.

I kind of enjoyed it.
I didn't go in with high expectations.
I knew it would be a dumb, contrived reality show with some manafactured weird situations and I got exactly what I was expecting.
hell it's not even on the level of Lizard Licker towing or any of tru Tv's output really (which isn't exactly a tough standard to reach), but it was an entertaining 43 minutes with some wrestlers involved.
If you lower your expectations and expect dumb, low brain investment tv it's perfectly good. Best time to watch it is in that hour before going to bed when you want to slow your brain down and relax a bit.

I might give this another shot later, but it's not even "so bad it's funny" like Total Divas.
It makes total sense now as to why no actual network picked this up.
Big thumbs down for episode one.

Watched it, honestly thought it was pretty boring outside of PIPER VS THE BLENDER and Patterson asking that kid if he liked to play with meat .

Whilst we are wondering what happened to people, are my eyes playing tricks on me or is one of Mean Gene's arms like twice the thickness of the other? Not in a muscular way either.

I laughed when Hacksaw and Piper were visiting the neighbors

If this show has taught me anything it's that they should just follow Piper around for about a month in season 2. He's entertaining as hell.

I was high when watching this, so I dunno if it would be good on the regular, but I liked Piper.

I was high when watching this, so I dunno if it would be good on the regular, but I liked Piper. No joke...While watching the first Episode my wife turned to me and went: "We need to get f***ed up before watching the next episode!" "Jup." She also suggested rewatching the Piper/Blender Match...

That shows something very telling about reality TV, I think. I'm guessing a lot of Legends House isn't scripted, which results in the slow pace (so far). Compare that to Total Divas where at least half of everything is obviously scripted, hence all of the excitement and drama there.

Well the debut episode sucked. Old men being old men and completely awkward in interactions with each other. I'll pass on this one.
Ashley Roberts deserves better.
