yeah tough enough has been the goods so far for me. austin's segments at the end of each show are just... awesome. it's like a rewind to 1997 austin. rest of the show keeps me interested.

Episode 2 was a splendid watch. It's amazing how Steve Austin makes promos look so damn effortless. As DaVe said, his segments with the bottom three have been one of the highlights of the show - the others including the in-ring training footage (as someone else pointed out, the camerawork for deMott's challenge was superb).
Matt's elimination made for great TV - the entire episode focused and built up Skidmarks (that should be his in-ring name now) as the guy who'd be eliminated, while Rima would only be reprimanded. Matt's build was just the side story. To continue a pointless debate - so, last week Stone Cold enters in a roaring motorcycle, and no body flinches. This week, Cena sneaks in, and everyone's suddenly "Fak! Cena!"??? |

Yeah Tough Enough, so far so good. And Dave your right, the best part so far has been Austin at the end of the show, particularly the last episode, he killed those guys, and Matt Cross was de-balled right in front of the world. Vintage Stone Cold!

Besides the obvious Steve Austin motorcycle incident, here's another thing that bugs me as to how scripted this 'reality' program is.
When Matt Cross was chatting to Trish about his wrestling career, I kept hoping he'd say something like 'I wrestled for Ring of Honor' and then Trish or Bill to say something like 'Oh ROH, cool', or something. I'm guessing they've probably discussed stuff like that off-camera maybe, but for Trish and Bill to be acknowleding Matt Cross's matches in ROH on-camera would have been pretty cool in a geeky kind of way. But all any of the experienced people on the show say is how much experience they have, not which notable companies they've worked for. For me, this kinda takes away the 'reality' feel of the show. Still cool to watch though. |

I think it adds to the realism that WWE won't give free publicity to other promotions.

I think the only time they've mentioned ROH that I can remember is Hardy yelling it out with his "Surprise" Hit n Runs,

Yeah but that is during Raw, where obviously everything is scripted. Tough Enough is meant to be a reality TV-type show, and you got Austin swearing in every sentence, yet Matt can't say he worked for ROH.
Or: 'Yeah I worked some matches for *B*E*E*P*' |

I'm actually glad that Austin Aries and Joey Ryan weren't on this. I have no doubt they wouldn't win if only for political reasons.
The thing that's cool with Austin is that it seems like everything you say is wrong. Skidmarks saying he respected DeMott pissed Austin off...but if he said DeMott was an asshole, Austin probably would have chewed him out for not having respect. It's meant to intimidate the potential eliminatees, just like a drill sgt. I do think Matt should have been given more of a chance, but his personality is too boring and would drag the show down. |

The reason Matt couldn't do anything to impress Trish is because he's a spot monkey and can't put on an entertaining match without preplanned spots.
Coupled with the fact that he has the personality of a brick, and stands at a whopping 5'6"... yeah, time to go pal. |

From the front:
A scene was edited from the WWE Tough Enough elimination process where Steve Austin asked contestant Michelle Deighton what her favorite match was. While Ariane Andrew sealed her fate on the program by naming Melina vs. Alicia Fox as her all-time favorite match (and being unable to name another match), Deighton said Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart. Great Fucking Answer. |

Skidmarks running wild. Mickael knew it too, as soon as Skids finished the promo.
Also, this "deleted scene" is pretty "cool": http://www.usanetwork.com/series/tou...ideo/#v1319376 |

So apart from the now fashionable "Jersey douche" persona what exactly does Mikael have going for him? Seriously he has a martial arts background and didn't show a thing? He's a wannabe but never will be.
At least Ryan stepped up. Luke was right you need a little bit of asshole in you and Ryan showed that in his promo he gave a real good promo when put on the spot he owned Mikael. I think you could see a different Ryan from this point on now that the thorn in his side has gone. If you noticed on the recent episode I think Bill Demott and Booker made reference to Ryan ric flairing in too much by giving the strut gesture. I think they are right he needs to just do the basics take the moves and give the moves, remember the routine you can add more to each move later but don't ham it up as Stone Cold said. I am surprised by how much I am enjoying this show I think a big part of that is down to Stone Cold. He isn't even breaking a sweat presenting this he's a natural, nobody cuts a promo like Stone Cold. I would love to see him come back as a GM! I know some of you are saying it's over the top they don't need to train like they are in the army yadda yadda yadda but you have to remember they are being fast tracked. The majority are out of shape and not comfortable in the ring so hell yes they need to train like they are in the army. It will make the WWE look real bad if any of these kids go on live tv and make a mess of it because they are out of shape or haven't got the skills you need. With that said how come only one contestant has asked for one on one training? If I was on that show I would be working with Booker T and Bill DeMott all afternoon I mean you would literally be mad not to do some extra work. I would be watching DVD's of old matches and doing everything I could! you have to be a student of the game if you are going to make it long term in the WWE. I laughed when Michelle quit because of her kids.. man. It had nothing to do with the fact that you knew your body couldn't hold up? Give me a break. |

I was laughing too when Michelle gave up out of nowhere "for her kids". Either way she just kinda pissed me off and I'm glad to see her leave "I'm an 11 year veteran, but I was self trained and havent wrestled in 6 years"

Also if you were going into something like this why wouldn't you go to a wrestling school for several weeks and bust your ass to get in ring shape? I don't get the mentality of some of these kids I mean what the hell? I would do ANYTHING for this kind of opportunity and many here would. Surely you would prepare and get in shape? Invest some money and buy some gym equipment or get a gym membership, go for runs anything! ![]() I mean I was 15 time wrestling champion at school but I am not going to bring that up on Tough Enough hell it was just backyard wrestling really and even just doing backyard I learned a lot of moves and was good technically because I copied everything I seen on tv so I could do piledrivers, power bombs, suplexes, body slams, DDT, shoulder blocks, clothes lines, gorilla press, flying cross body, tombstone, sidewalk slams you name it I could even do a victory roll. When I say backyard it was the early nineties so it was just pure wrestling for fun no lightbulbs and shit like that. Championship belts over the head if anything! BUT it proves if you do something for a short amount of time and have a real passion for it you pick things up, if you watch matches and study the moves you can pick things up and work it out for yourself.So yeah don't go into a competition saying you are an 11 year veteran but you've just lost what you've learned that's bullshit you never lose it. You might be rusty but you never lose it and you at least know a good handful of moves or you are lying fullstop. Michelle used her kids as an excuse if you have doubts about missing your kids while you are on the road don't even sign up for something like this. What on earth was she thinking? She's not built to wrestle she'll hurt herself or someone else. |

Yeah I am a 15... 15.... time champion *does the flair strut* WHOOO!!!!!!
All I had to show for it was a rusty old golf bag belt but it's all we had back then damnit! Imagine the hardcore belt but not as good.. we put on some good matches considering we didn't have any lessons between us. The worst injury I suffered was a stinger I couldn't feel my arms or legs for what seemed like a minute that was from just one botched move. A Papa Shango shoulder breaker f'n hurt man. |

I think Luke is slowly turning heel. He's like midway right now. Not so sure about him winning anymore.
Also liked how they censored Bret saying "wrestler". Bret: I have taken pride in being a professional ______ Last edited by Lock Jaw; 04-26-2011 at 03:19 AM. |
