Tough Enough

[RVDmark]

So, plenty of rumours have been circulating that TE has been signed for a second season.

I have to say I enjoyed TE with Austin, much better than the first incarnation of TE as this one concentrated more on the Wrestling, albeit with a weekly excursion to do something different.

I don't care whether the outcome was fake, or even if the whole show was scripted, it is wrestling after all. But the main crux of the show, whether kayfabe or not, is that the winner gets a WWE contract.

So what the hell happened to Andy Levigne? Sure I wasnt expecting him to become a champion or anything, but I would expect to at least see him on the show. I imagine that a few casual fans watched Raw having seen TE and then tuned out again once he wasn't there.

If you're going to have a crossover show to attract more of an audience, it just seems a bit weird to not carry out the premise of the show.

And if TE2 starts and Andy still hasn't been on Raw yet (wrestling, not just there) doesn't that instantly take away from the premise of the show.

Watch these 10 lucky contestants go through hell to grab a lucrative WWE contract carries a lot more weight if it seems that the contract is worth winning.

[Skippord]

He got suspended for steroids and kind of sucked cock anyway.

[Rammsteinmad]

I enjoyed the show, but I would prefer if they could do one a bit less scripted. I mean, I'm not saying this one was 100% fake and I'm not saying that WWE shouldn't have some guidelines for what they want with each episode, but if they're gonna do a reality show where people are competing for a WWE contract, I'd much rather they just did that.

Ultimately it's a joke anyway because the winner will never debut, and if he does he'll never shake the 'tough enough' stigma (except JoMo), and half of the losers will end up on the roster before the winner does anyway.

But overall it was still an enjoyable show and I'd watch it again.

I preferred Al Snow as a trainer. He was fun to watch.

And you'd think the fact that having contestants with some experience would have made for a better group but I didn't think that was the case. Andy didn't really show much promise IMO.

That guy that came in 2nd looked better. Luke was it?

[Skippord]

Luke was awesome, still pretty furious about Andy winning tbh

Tampa, Florida

Cattle Drive

BIO:
Kevin Hackman is 6’5” and 270lbs. That, in and of itself, sets the Florida native apart from the pack. But what really makes Kevin Hackman special is his heart, drive and determination. Looking up to his cousin, Dangerous Dan Spivey, Hackman had his interest spiked at an early age. A standout amateur wrestler and football player in high school, Kevin soon felt the itch for competition on a greater level. A Division-1 football player at FIU, Hackman was a four year starter; showcasing his athletic talents on the offensive line. During the offseason Kevin committed much of his time to MMA training, and brings a unique offense and an explosive style to his in ring approach. Kevin was raised in the swamplands of Florida by his father and mother, and despite his working-class background, he is determined and driven by hard work to make a name for himself.

looks like there is no Wellness Policy in FCW.....

[whiteyford]

and half of the losers will end up on the roster before the winner does anyway.

Worked the same way with the Diva search, probably cheaper signing them as rejects though.

Naomi who I think was the first eliminated was the first to debut on Raw with Brodus... awesome.

Jeremiah was better in every way as well.

Why isn't he on NXT Redemption somehow?

[Ruien]

Martin was clearly the best honestly.

[Cuse8]

nothing will be worse then te season 2 with al snow as trainer...jackie gayda and linda winning over kenny king and that kid chizzle..such a clusterfuck

[Mr. Nerfect]

Martin should have won. I also don't get how Matt Cross, with his fantastic ring skills, was cut so early for not having personality, and yet Andy Leavine made it right up until the end without showing anything, either. AJ was nothing special, but pretty solid. He got a spot getting squashed by Brodus Clay on Superstars recently, and I didn't recognise him. He could certainly develop into someone.

I also thought that Ivelisse was great too. Has the WWE signed her yet? She was hot and can wrestle.

By all accounts, Luke Robinson and Jeremiah Riggs were both complete douches.

[Tazz Dan]

Just remember the chick who was eliminated first is on Raw and Smackdown each week now :y:

[Tazz Dan]

And will mostly likely have her first PPV tomorrow.

[Lock Jaw]

She is in FCW as "Sofia Cortez"

[Mr. Nerfect]

I thought I read something about her being signed. I think she would make a great babyface Diva.

[#1-norm-fan]

By all accounts, Luke Robinson and Jeremiah Riggs were both complete douches.

Luke definitely came off as one. Not sure what makes you think that about Jeremiah.

I'd take both over Andy though douchebag or not. You don't draw because you're "nice backstage". I really see nothing in Andy.

[Lock Jaw]

Jeremiah seems to have come across as a douche post-Tough Enough in various reports I have read.

I don't remember at all what was in these reports though.

that needs to be her ring name in the worst way

[Blakeamus]

Would of preferred if they casted unknowns (indy wrestlers) on the show...which was the original concept.

Kinda, but if Dwayne was an asshole to people backstage do you think he would have ended up with the movie career?

Sometimes not being a cunt can be an advantage.
