TNA’s Executive Producer Eric Bischoff has tweeted his opinions on WWE’s new reality show, Total Divas.
The show, which airs on the E! network, garnered praise from Eric, who worked in the WWE from 2002 to 2007. He tweeted that producing the show is “smart” and will help grow the WWE brand:
Had a chance to check out Total Divas on E! via TiVo. Props to WWE (Kevin Dunn). Basic "Kardashian" format, but will grow the brand! Smart!

Growing the brand it certainly has! Total Divas‘s first episode was watched by 1.3 million people, with the replay that aired the very next night after Raw doing even better, picking up 1.5 million viewers.
Making a Divas reality show was definitely a controversial move, but as Eric Bischoff will tell you, controversy creates cash!
