I've read a lot of reviews saying that this program is a waste of time or utterly pointless. Watching the group of 13 get whittled down one by one is very emotional and very entertaining. The trainers are genuinely nice people and truly in love with their livelihood. Basically i think most people would enjoy this program even people who aren't wrestling fans. Please, give it a try.

Good show

I'm definitely not a fan of wrestling. Definitely not. But I really like this show. It's a good behind-the-scene look at the making of casting wrestlers. It's a good show and I'm really happy that Maven and Nidia won. They were cool.
Overall the show is a great wrestling show and better than wrestling, itself. Rating A+.

Not just for wrestling fans

I just happened to flip past this one night towards the beginning of the series. I wasn't a wrestling fan before but I found this show to be very compelling. And after watching this I've actually tuned into some WWF shows. It makes me kind of wonder if it was just a marketing ploy to get us former non-fans hooked. If it was it worked on me!
Very Interesting

Very Interesting show. I like it. It's nice to see how it really goes on. Some people think wrestling is fake, which yes in the stuff they do and the storylines, but if you watch this you can see that they do get hurt sometimes.
Hope it gets better.

I hope it gets better. Every time they have a show or a movie and have a sequel it is always known that the first one will be better. On the second show they are training harder, being more strict too. And I am glad that they have Ivory as a trainer and have Al Snow again. It was good to see some older wrestler trainers and some younger ones. I give this show 8/10
I HATE THIS SHOW!

This has to be one of the stupid ideas for a show ever. This is supposed to be entertaining, watching people try out to be wrestlers. As if wrestling isn't enough of a male soap opera already, they try to make this show into a soap opera, too. The winner get a contract with the WWE. Oh Boy.
What's next? Are they going to create a series where football players go to training camp and the winner gets an NFL contract with the Cincinnati Bengals. People get to watch as NFL hopefuls run sprints and run into tackling dummies. Someone gets voted off every week. How "exciting". It's amazing how people can be entertained by stupid shows like this one.

Good show for wrestling fans.

I have been watching this show from the start. First I was reluctant to see how the show would go, but after the first show, I was hooked.
With the 13 contestants trying to win a WWF contract and real WWF wrestlers either teaching the contestants or other big name WWF stars stopping in for pep talks and the occasional "reality check" is a very good mix for the show.
For any wrestling fan, I suggest watching this show, because it shows the type of expectations they require their [the WWF's] wrestlers to go through. It is a nice behind the scenes mix of the WWF.
