No one will ever accuse that woman of making sound decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - she was brought in as a replacement for the girl who quit God its been awhile since that show was on but I think - THINK - she got screwed (ie: eliminated) because Miz saved someone (Mandy????) because they were hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 OH! I totally forgot that Sonya Deville (aka Daria Berenato) was on that show too Gabi Castrovinci (who went by Raquel in TNA) was also on the season And the WWE also signed that Mada dude but he asked for his release because he basically decided wrestling wasn't for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Ray Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Tough Enough and Diva searches have gotten them talent. It just never seems that the people that win have much long term success in the business. Right now the most successful winner has been Hennigan. The most successful of the participants who didn't win has been the Miz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drop off is pretty quick though Afer Morrison and Miz it is Ryback and Matt Morgan and then I guess Matt Cross and Ivelisse Vélez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mada, Mandy, and ZZ were the nominees. Miz saved Mandy because she was hot. Bryan and Paige were like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING" but neither one of them was smart enough to save Mada (who everyone was decently high on) and because ZZ was popular with, let's be honest, other fat lazy slobs, he won the vote and Mada was gone. Chelsea was I think a week or two later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Ironically - while the reasoning somewhat flawed - Miz was right to keep Mandy and in hindsight, she clearly should have won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most successful of the participants who didn't win has been the Miz. I mentioned this last week. They do a good job of showing them the basics preparing them for a small crowd. Unfortunately, the skills they don't teach them the skills to succeed at the top level. There is a huge skill gap between NXT and WWE similar to NHL/AHL and MLB/AAA. It is like two different skill sets. An example is you are told to connect with the crowd and get over in NXT but try getting over when you are not supposed to get over at the WWE level, you will get in trouble. Wins, losses, and booking matters at the NXT level. When you get to Raw and Smackdown, throw it all out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Went to the NXT show in Las Vegas last night and it was a lot of fun. Third NXT show I've been too. Good wrestling, they ran four of the five matches from TakeOver here. So that was cool. Adam Cole vs Roderick Strong, the Women's Fourway and Drew McIntyre vs Andrade "Cien" Almas were the best matches of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seriously just looked way too good to be wrestling (flashbacks to 'diva' era probably contributed to this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Evans Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 So NXT is being taped at Center Stage in Atlanta in January and February. I wonder if this is a test taping to leave Full Sail and take the tv show on the road or if ROH is running those two months in Georgia somewhere? Either way, I think Full sail should have a break so hopefully, when they come back the crowds are hotter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 That’d be great. I wish they’d just film house shows and all and use those matches on the show like Prime Time used to be, just, you know, not so delayed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they decided to try somewhere different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo2653 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Good point. I wonder if the school uses the arena for something else during that time, like the Chicago Bulls Circus road trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, January's show is because it's the second day of the school year, and the February tapings coincide with Full Sail's graduation (and that takes place in Full Sail Live.)
