The Official Tough Enough Thread
 

<font color=goldenrod>So yeah, one episode in and this show is amazing.

Austin shaking his head in disgust when that chick said Melina vs. Alicia Fox was her favorite match of all time was priceless.</font>

Yeah, actually loving the show. Really hope they focus a lot on the in-ring aspect. If they do it like tonight, with one segment dedicated to the "challenges" and the rest focusing on the ring work/promos, it should be awesome.

I'll catch it tomorrow, I'm tired.

<font color=goldenrod>Fuck, gonna miss most of the show with the time change as my class ends at 8 and then I gotta drive home.

Hoping they replay it as they are doing tonight.</font>

I noticed that they're replaying it both after RAW next week, and before AM RAW.

All I know is Austin shit his pants in South Africa while wrestling Yokozuna.

Wasn't a bad show, but I will repeat what I said in the Raw thread. "Alicia Foxx and Melina. lol"

lol, yes.

Sid's got some competition.

I'll repeat...

...this version of Tough Enough seems to be too "fake", too "scripted"...the original Tough Enough was kinda more "realistic", in that whatever happened didn't seem forced...in this Tough Enough, it's also like watching "The Jersey Shore", and the participants just happen to be taking some wrestling classes.

Also, Stone Cold and the rest of the trainers seem to be trying "too hard" to be "tough trainers"...

...I'll watch it, 'cause the actual wrestling part of the show I like, but...

...also, why does The Rock have to yell everytime?

Bill DeMott rules.

He's WWE's John Kruk

I liked that Austin had no regard for the pg era lol and said every word he could think of.

Him cutting on those 3 at the end was great.


Alicia who? Never heard of em

...he shit his pants in South Africa while wrestling Yokozuna...

:wtf:

I laughed at that part, but I meant more like the rest of it where he went all heel on them.

How can this show keep the PG rating with all of the swearing? Is it because they use silence for swears instead of a bleep?

That chick reaching to pull her tights up was funny. Although I think Trish should shut up about her pet peeves. Then again, she's a judge. But guys do that shit all the time in the ring. Maybe not when they're running ropes, but a lot of attire/hair etc. is corrected/adjusted in the ring.

LOL they've already signed the stupid cunt.

From PWInsider:

Ariane Andrews, who was eliminated in the first episode of Tough Enough, announced via Twitter that she has signed a WWE deal and will start in Florida Championship Wrestling next week, commenting, ""Might have lost but I got what every1 wanted a contract with the wwe.. I said u will see me again and #!@%*# it u will..start fcw next week..hey"

<font color=goldenrod>Guess that means every participant will be signed. As usual.</font>

TE could make some of the easiest storylines you could think of. WWE doesn't have to do shit here.

I dont know what you guys are talking about, its a natural part of the progression to super stardom. Your debut match, returning from your first injury, winning your first title in a major promotion, crapping your pants in a match, and then main eventing for the world title :yes:


Side note, my pick to win is Mikeal. Well built guy + complete douchebag = instant heel heat (for more on this subject ask Sean Waltman)

Are you fucking serious? Ughhh terrible, terrible idea.

Well, I guess my thoughts about an Erik Watts/Darren Young team might happen after all then.

I personally loved it and can't wait to watch next week. Stone Cold is awesome and can tell Trish is gonna be a great trainer as well. I was very entertained and curious how this progresses with the challenges as they get more into the training.

Also I cracked up at the Melina-Alicia Fox comment lol

Putting it on before RAW was a smart move. I will be watching this.

...this is going to probably get her in trouble.

PS: Also, black people saying "Heeey" is SO 1995.

...did Austin shit his pants there once again?

...you know...

...because he shit his pants in South Africa while wrestling Yokozuna...

It was an enjoyable show, but I agree with all of Aquakates comments. Offices with bright lights, Austin arriving on a motorcycle and not one person turning around to look, there are definitely some major scripted elements to this show, especially if Alicia Fox girl is telling the truth about being signed to FCW, in which everyone will be signed anyway.

Wrestling is a tough industry to take part in, but I definitely feel the trainers are being too tough for the sake of TV, and kept wondering what they really act like once the cameras are off.

Also, I feel kinda bad for Miss USA, because she's blatently got a huge chip on her shoulder (see: The Miz). I don't really care for her much since she's Miss USA so she's probably a bitch in real life who would't even look at a peon like me, but I hope she at leasts makes something of the competition. Don't want her to win, but at least last a few weeks and get that kinda 'have I earned your respect now?' feel.

But she's still probably a bitch in real life.

Also, I love how AF girl tried the sob story of how she lost her job, sold her house etc, because she has so much passion to do this, and then when Austin asked for another match she likes she was like :|

LOL yeah, Austin arrives in a motorcycle, and every trainee just kept on training and not ONE looked back...

...the relationships between trainers and trainees just seems forced, scripted, like they're acting it out...

...on the original Toug Enough, the relationships between the trainers and the trainees just kinda happened...

Yeah, and I've trained with various different companies in the UK (and now Germany) and none of the trainers are like this. Dare I say it... you even become 'friends' with them.

But then on the other hand, I've only wrestled with small indy companies. Austin was at one point the most famous guy on the planet.

Loved the first episode. Looking forward to this season.

Sweet I won't have to miss it because of work.

Just watched it. Pretty good. They have definitely added some "zazz" to the production of the show from last time.

I like how someone other than Alicia Fox's sister is Alicia Fox Girl.

On season 1 of the original Tough Enough, even when Triple H cuts a promo on the participants, it didn't feel like anything was forced or fake:

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/FvyfEW9zra4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I would have kicked her off the show right away for showing up to a show where you are supposed to be working in high heels.

Feels more "real" because it was a more "simple" format. Like I said, this new version seems to have added a lot more "zazz" to the production value and style.

Too much.

Stone Cold came in a MOTORCYCLE!

...and also revealed he shit his pants in South Africa while wrestling Yokozuna.

The greatest match of all time

"I'm Trish Stratus. A seven-time Women's champion."

"I'm Booker T. I've been in this business for 21 years."

"I'm Bill DeMott."

:wtf:

Hugh Morrus!
