rzombie1988 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I like Tough Enough, but its trash TV, I don't think it will accomplish anything and it won't really further anyone's career. I just hope Trish Stratus stays away from it, because I'm still not over her ripping Matt Cross last time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow 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...

AxB 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. Where was he during the Smashing Crumpet* tournament, though? Because he wasn't anywhere near the DVDVR board. * Smashing Crumpet II coming April 2016 btw. Unless we do Handsome Gentleman II first. Which we probably should. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Kong's played face/heel pretty equally throughout her career Has she? Wasn't she mostly a heel in Japan? Wasn't she mostly a heel in the indies and in TNA? She was clearly intended to e a heel in WWE. Also, Chyna was MASSIVELY over... Wasn't Chyna at her most over during the time she was off the roids, leaning down the muscle, and having a shoot in playboy? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Was both in WSU & Shimmer, face for her second half there. Always been face in SHINE the last couple years. Pretty much ended up a face in WWE for her brief time there.

rzombie1988 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Kong was pushed as a heel. She might have eventually became a face/tweener, but she was brought in to AJW, TNA and I think even WWE as a heel. Shimmer and Shine for christ sakes seriously don't count. Fine, Eagle Sawai was over in LLPW in front of 800 fans, so obviously not being super attractive and being pushed works. Happy? Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 They have been showing audition tapes since the first season of the show. I'm more surprised they didn't just wait until the premiere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonteCarl Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 A friend of mine who is a local indy wrestler got a call from a casting agency based out of Detroit last week for an interview for Tough Enough. He didn't submit a tape or anything, just got a call. He went in to the initial interview and was scheduled for a follow up interview yesterday. No word on how that one went, I just thought it was interesting how he got a call like that without even submitting a tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
