Tough Enough

[Marc the Smark]

Any first impressions of the Tough Enough contestants? I like this guy from the UFC.

[V]

its' a lot better than the diva search, but it's still a big waste of time, if smackdown was coming to toronto I probobly wouldn't go just because of it wasting so much time..

anyway, the only people that stands out to me are Justice and the UFC guy, that MTV guy seems real weak, and i don't even remember the rest of them

[The CyNick]

Its definately better than the Divas. But I thought the best segment of the 3 weeks was the first one where they did the traditional format of taping some training and putting it on TV as a nice package.

I dont think some of the guys in major roles on WWE TV should be on TV, but these guys make those guys look like seasoned pros.

It could also be a tad shorter, but they obviously feel like TE is a ratings draw, so they are pushing it hard. Its okay leading to SurvSer because there are only a couple of programs to push. But I worry that leading into the Dec PPV they will take up a lot of TV time that will be needed to get over PPV matches.

Anyway, I wouldn't miss a show just becaiuse of this stuff, the Divas stuff yeah I could see boycotting over that, but this isn't nearly as annoying.

So far I like the UFC guy and that annoying arrogant guy, Dan or something.

[Loose Cannon]

^^haha, that's my two pics. I love that annoying blond guy. He can really get under your skin. And I liked the UFC guy tonight where he went with Angle. Pretty cool. Audience got behind him.

[Corkscrewed]

LMAO... Angle shows him the squat thrusts and tells them to do it and they totally screw up. :rofl:

[Azriel]

Waste of time most definitely, but I don't watch Smackdown anyway so it really doesn't matter that much to me

[Funky Fly]

I'd put money on the UFC guy. I don't know if his imprompto match was a work or not, but he just shot ahead of the other guys in my book.

The Miz is wasting space there, 3 of those guys look exactly the same, Justice is big but has no conditioning, that one really muscular guy has no charisma besides flexing and the blond smiling guy makes me wanna stab him in the face.

[Mayo]

That arrogant guy Dan is awesome, he reminds me so much of Jeremy Shockey. He'd be a perfect heel in the WWE :y:

[Head]

That guy who's always on the left has potential I think.

That stupid guy who did that dance should be shot.

[Innovator]

The guy who hung with Kurt should go far.

[RemyRed]

WWE'll probably hire both of them.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Well, this is a fan voting thing, so just for that I can't see Dan Rodimer winning. I can definately see him getting a contrac, though. Maybe a promo with The Rock could see if Dan could be the biggest heel in the WWE in a long time. BTW, did it shock anyone else how HUGE this guy is? He looks about one inch smaller than The Big Show!

The UFC guy I can see getting it, and I can defineately see a Kurt Angle vs. John (last name here), and John vs. Dan Rodimer. I can really see Rodimer and Rob Van Dam get over as a heel tag team.

[targo_the_sho_stopa]

That blond haired guy (Dan Puder???) reminds me of Matt Cappotelli, I dunno why, this whole cocky "I'm not sexy, I'm hot" thing reminds me of the casting for TE3 when Matt said, in a really stupid voice "I'm the flava baby!"
Just my opinion

[Mr. Nerfect]

Dan Rodimer & Matt Cappotelli as a tag team=possible ejaculation :drool:.

[LK]

I don't like the way that they are doing it like the diva search where they are on Smackdown all the time. I just think it would be better and safer if they were getting properly trained like they were in previous tough enoughs.

[SuperSlim]

UFC guy and the arrogant guy are my picks.

[Disturbed316]

It's a pile of wank.

[Head]

They're in Conneticut getting trained the entire week. They just go to Smackdown on Tuesdays.

[Corkscrewed]

Dan Puter has a great chance. I like his intensity. Rodheimer or whatever his name is has some very nice charisma. Justice is like... the most out of shape buff guy I've ever seen. Miz looks like he should team with Matt Capoeli. The dancing guy does need to be shot.

[The Naitch]

Puder's first promo about cutting Big Shows' arms off etc was just terrible. He has a good look though

[loopydate]

I'm annoyed. I was hoping that the poll on WWE.com would be to decide who gets voted off, not for who I want to win. I wanted so badly to vote against Nick Mitchell, but that wasn't an option.

[Aussie Skier]

i like daniel puder.

he looks like he'd work well in the wwe

[Deceit]

That Chris Nawrocki guy is pretty damn out of shape too.

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

What really strikes me was that black guy's promo on Big Show - "Hey Big Shoooooooooooow....Come out and plaaaaaaay-aaaaaaayy.......uh-huh". Worst and most awkward promo I've ever seen. The guy that danced was god-awful too.

I think he was trying to rip on his theme song, or something. Justice Smith is also an actor, so if he can wrestle and act, we could see him become an interesting edition to the roster.

I wouldn't mind the WWE offering all these guys developmental contracts (well the ones Al Snow & Bill DeMott think are worth keeping), and maybe working with them until they are ready to debut. If they don't reach that level, they could easily be dropped.

[123 kid]

Dan Puder is going to win. I hope he does, he reminds me of Ken Shamrock.

[Gerard]

Dan Rodimer needs a slap, that guy always has some half cocky half retarded look on his face and he sounds like a complete retard on the mic.

Justice smith..less said about him opn the mic the better, if wwe were having a "say uh huu" contest then he'd be in with a shout. Never looks confident either, kind of a nervous look on his face all the time.

Chris nawrocki, had to love his "jericho esque" promo on big show with the "you will never *insert random bullshit here* again", well actually i didn't have to love it as he came off as a tool.

Miz...kindly stfu you asswipe. His promo on big show was second only to justice smiths retarded ramblings. "with the training of mr al snow" oops sorry outta time, i was too busy giving the fans a virtual handjob that i forgot wtf i was meant to be talking about. :roll:

Daniel puder, obviously good in the ring but his promo on show was laughable. Something about breaking his arms and legs off.....yeah ok, and then you woke up and had your breakfast.

Personally i couldn't give a shite who wins, as long as they don't use a dropkick for 99% of their moves and have a mad looking set of eyebrows.
:shifty:

[123 kid]

Puder seems kinda over with the crowd, notice when he was wrestling Angle the crowd started chanting 'UFC....UFC...UFC...UFC...' He is definitely my favorite contestant, has the look and has the potential to become the next Ken Shamrock (hopefully with a longer career ;) )

Rodimer is either playing a cocky gimmick - if so then he's good, or he is just a complete twat, but I presume he's playing a gimmick. He has a great look, he must be 6'9'' or 6'10'' . He could come to the WWE as a heel, continuing his arrogant role, making everyone want to 'stab him in the face'

Ryan Reeves - The crowd seem to hate this guy? For all of the contestants the crowd give a small cheer (with Puder and Miz getting a slightly better cheer) but for Reeves he get's a huge boo. Why is this? I think he's pretty good, he has the look, and he sold Big Show's bodyslam the best, IMO. I could see him in the WWE as a mid-card heel.

Mike Mizanin - The crowd is behind him purely because he was on MTV. He doesn't have the look, unless he was a cruiserweight, then he could get away with it I suppose. He's no more than OK IMO.

Justice Smith - Has a great look, but he can't cut promos to save shit, I can't see what the WWE would do with him apart from chuck him on velocity or heat and have him be like unbeaten on there.

All of the rest definitely aren't 'Tough Enough' .
I think Puder will win, but Miz and Rodimer will also get contracts, and who knows maybe we might see a few of the others in TNA?

I think it would be cool if the WWE signed Miz, Puder, Smith and Rodimer and made them a heel stable. They could moan of the harshness they were put through during '$1M Tough Enough'. Have Puder as the leader, Smith and Rodimer as a tag team, and Miz as the 'X-Pac' of the group.
or
Have Puder as a face maybe teaming with Maven, to feud against the Tough Enough rejects, who are Heels. This is presuming Puder wins.
or
If only two contestants are hired then just have a singles feud between the winner (face) and the loser (heel).

Just a few ideas...

[MattLytle]

Puder looks to have it won. He did a good job against Angle!
