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. 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. Oh yeah, totally. Most reality TV would be terribly boring without a good edit and inciting drama on some level. I dunno what they do to help a bunch of 50-60 year old men though. From the clips, it looks like there will be drama and some fun things happening, so it may have just been a bad pilot. I'm giving it another episode and maybe it will earn another.

The last ten minutes of this episode were so weird, randomly cutting between Piper getting out of bed and the other guys talking and drinking, with Piper wandering away to go howl at the moon. It was like someone brought in David Lynch to come up with an ending for the episode or something.

Piper calling out...the special celebrity guest...for "****ing waking me up with a gong." was amusing.

I'm looking forward to a better star lineup for a season 2. Hillbilly Jim, Tony Atlas, Jimmy Hart? Zzzzzzz.
Now they can arrange Hogan, Flair, Piper, etc in a house and that would be dynamite.

If Flair was in season 2, then I would watch.

I don't understand why they didn't just release the whole series at once like they do on Netflix. I would rather knock this series out in a few days marathon watching it than having to wait each week.

I have a feeling that if Flair was on season 2 he would interrupt and talk over everyone and steal the spotlight in every possible scenario. It would get very annoying.

Just from the if I'm talking to someone about the show I don't have to preface it with I've only watched up to episode X and don't tell me anything past that or I will murder you.

What is up with Gene's arms? One's big, one's tiny.

So that's where the Gene "You are an absolute piece of garbage" line came from.

Is... Is Tony Atlas mentally retarded?
EDIT: Well, Tony just answered that. Apparently he is.

Maybe it's Atlas who should get the Grandpa Simpson gimmick--talk about stories that don't go anywhere!
Did anyone catch Piper comparing the house to Alcatraz? I guess he would know.

It's the famous bbq recipe that Tony Atlas made during the MTV True Life: I'm A Professional Wrestler episode.

I want to like this show, but 80% of what has happened so far in the first two episodes is watching the guys stand around waiting for food to cook.
