RIPPA Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 At some point we will need a thread for this but who the hell knows when. The reason I started it today is because I saw that LuFisto tweeted that she applied to be on the show. So I guess they are doing at least some sort of casting call... even if they end up just picking nothing but guys out of development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Steve Austin better be the host. He was the only salvageable part of the last run. If not him, the only acceptable replacement host is Dean Ambrose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Steve Austin better be the host. He was the only salvageable part of the last run. If not him, the only acceptable replacement host is Dean Ambrose. I could watch Steve Austin hold back from choking someone for their terrible taste in wrestling on an endless loop. If he's not the host, they shouldn't even do the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyLaw Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Regal: "Here, let me show you how you headbutt someone." Trainee: "Ouch, you really headbutt me, what the..." Regal: "What were you expecting?" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 They have enough adequate coaching down there already. Use Billy Gunn, Dusty, Regal, Sara D'Amato, and Bill DeMott. Bring in Jason Albert to teach big guys how to "work big". The point of this shouldn't be the point of previous shows. Use it for guys and girls already in the system to get them ready for NXT. The biggest fault in previous Tough Enough seasons is that by the end of it, NONE of the winners were ready to go then. By the time they were, all the heat was gone. Of existing known talent, Solomon Crowe, Enzo Amore, Big Cass, Eva, and Jo-Jo should be part of it as trainees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Well the last version of Tough Enough ripped off Hells Kitchen with the eliminations. There's a newsbit about it being like American Idol with people being voted off by viewer votes. That can be a really slippery slope for them especially if they push one guy and he goes out early. Honestly I don't have much faith in Tough Enough simply because almost everyone involved who's won has never done anything in the WWE. Like the last guy his highlight was "he had to pay his dues" and they had him taking ticket stubs at FCW/NXT shows. It would be interesting if it's actual established Indy wrestlers on the show. But if it's just a regular casting call for the WWE's usual cookie cutter types I wouldn't hold out hope for success. Then again under Idol except for Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and maybe Chris Daughtry they haven't had many big sucesses either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood Cibernetico Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I hope WWE doesn't bring in LuFisto as I don't want to hear anymore homely women cut 'its about wrestling and not looks' promos. In PRO WRESTLING The look comes first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool arrow Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Well, of course the look comes first. That's why Eva Marie is so universally respected. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Eva was getting a good amount of heat there for a while. But she's not a 'heel' on Total Divas anymore. She's just... I don't even know. She has a new issue every week and I'm not sure if we are supposed to feel bad for her or her husband or ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 When was the last time she even (and I use the term loosely) wrestled? Her most recent result on Cagematch is from last September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offspring515 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I believe she had to have her breast implants removed because they were leaking and replaced with new ones. If that bit on Total Divas was at all based in reality it might explain her absence from the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Jennifer Hudson and her Oscar say hello. Yeah but she didn't win. That's what I was getting at. I know Daughtry didn't win either, but I forgot Hudson was even on Idol. My point was almost everyone who has won Tough Enough has gone on to be a bust in one way or another.

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I actually rewatched Tough Enough Series 1 recently. Maven had something, but was really hurt by the 'Tough Enough Winner' gimmick. He also lacked weight for the time period. Chris Nowinski may well have been a World Champ if not for the concussions.

rzombie1988 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Gotta hand it to him: HC stays on message like nobody's business. Horrifying message, of course. Looks do matter. I can't think of place in the wrestling world where it doesn't. It seriously going to be a struggle for you to make it in wrestling if you are a woman and aren't good looking. The only real route you can go if you aren't good looking is as a heel of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
