Love Dolph Ziggler's new look.

A new look usually means a push in the WWE, so hopefully this means he'll be in contention for a title soon.

Dear Tough Enough,

A WWE superstar showing up for three minutes to give a pep talk before the second commercial break does not a guest star make.

All the best,
David

I would trade the silly challenge stuff, to have expanded segments with the guest stars. Would love to see more of this:




Still, Tough Enough is the best thing WWE has on TV, simply because Stone Cold is AWESOME on the show. His personality just shines on the show.

What did you guys think of the R-Truth heel turn?  I thought it was pretty cool how they turned him heel, what with him beating up John Morrison after the match and actually smoking when he was done.  Has a wrestler ever actually smoked during a live show before, 'cause this was a first for me.

Agreed.

...simply because Stone Cold is AWESOME on the show.

And agreed again.

The R Truth stuff might not have worked as well as they'd hoped, but I think his turn was one of the more interesting turns I've seen in a while. I kind like it.

The only wrestler that smoked on live tv was Sandman, and that might have just been in ECW.

Truth's face after taking that puff is CLASSIC though.

Sandman, of course. Also The Big Show smoked once back in the day. They never really explained why he smoked, but I definitely remember it.

This was when he was The Giant in WCW, but I also remember him doing it ONCE in WWF.

Also, don't forget this guy

If you are a wrestling fan, and aren't listening to the "Art of Wrestling" podcast with Colt Cabana or watching Z! True Long Island Story with Zack Ryder, you need to.

don't forget about DDP's early WCW cigar smoking. it was amazing because he'd use the same one and each week it'd get shorter.

Thanks for the replys about the smoking on TV, guys.  I can't believe how many wrestlers used to smoke before or after a match.  It must be killer on their cardio.
Also, when it comes to Jeff Hardy, I'm sure that a cigarette isn't the only thing he smokes! 

[Derek Coward]

This is kinda cool.
