I agree with some of your post, but, I generally like the CNBC format, have it on in the background all day. I am a 40 something who has been in the market 20 years now, was a broker.
I liked the segment they did with Bradshaw (the "wrassler"). He may be much larger than the average Joe, but I would bet he isn't the mental midget you might think. The WWF and WCW performers are generally well compensated, I would think it behooves them to take an interest in finance. To be able to pull off some of the moves in a highly scripted format IMHO shows that these performers are well put together both physically and mentally.
On that segment, Bradshaw seemed pretty well versed. And, as it was pointed out, his previous picks did pretty well. The piece was entertaining and that's part of CNBC's appeal - to entertain in a field (business and finance) which can be pretty dull.
