Anyone watching Tough Enough?? *spoilers*

[Setharion]

Austin makes the show, but im loving it!

This past episode was great when austin was reiterating Mickael or however his name was spelled and said:

"you there that, he said youre a weiner"...

"a damn weiner"

That was one weakass promo-off, but im glad Ryan stepped up.

[ManillaRoad]

I thought Mickael's promo was pretty weak too, but I really can't believe the people they are cutting. They seem like they are protecting that big black guy purely because of his look, when he hasn't done anything impressive yet.

They weren't willing to let Matt Cross (5'7") with 9 years experience have another week to prove himself (using that same experience as the very reason to cut him, wtf), but Miss America and big man get a free ride.

Anyway, rant over. I'm still enjoying the show.

[ManillaRoad]

Finally got around to seeing the new episode. Glad to see they finally cut Rima loose although we did miss out on the best part of the show, where Austin dresses down the bottom three.

They need to get rid of the cliche reality TV stuff in this show like the cheer leading, attack dog and roller skating segments. I know it's all just to make us laugh at them falling over, but I'd prefer it without this stuff.

Have seen a couple of the episodes, kept forgetting to set my dvr

[EternallDarkness]

Dang watched the show this evening on my DVR, 2 belts taken!

[Setharion]

I think it was a bummer how they busted Ryans balls from day 1, man they seriously crapped all over that dude. No wonder he had no confidence lol

[ManillaRoad]

Yeah, it was kind of strange that the trainers kept saying how terrible he was but the way the show was edited you never really saw him sucking that much.

This week they finally cut Eric loose. Thank heavens for that, although something tells me this guy is probably going to FCW anyway.

[Setharion]

Yea Eric was a dud, and i just realized now my typo in the thread title

[ManillaRoad]

Wow I never noticed the typo haha.

[cusideabelincoln]

Tough Enough is damn entertaining. I loved how Stone Cold rips into the bottom three, trying to push their buttons. It's quite an interesting test of character.

Seems pretty obvious AJ is the next one to go. SC ripped him apart in the bottom 3, and he was just fail after fail in the last episode.

I hope he gets the Ryan treatment next episode, simply because I thought it was hilarious how the trainers ripped on him the entire time.

[ManillaRoad]

Yeah, AJ is sure to go, especially if Alicia Fox's (Christina was it?) sister comes back.

Who is your pick to win?(general question for anyone reading this) I'm finding it hard to picture any of them in WWE to be honest.

[cusideabelincoln]

I think we'll see Christina in the WWE whether she is able to win Tough Enough or not, but she does need a lot more ring training.

As of now no one has really stood out as being even a competent star in the WWE. But they haven't been put in a real test yet: To see how they perform in front of the crowd.

Luke probably has the best shot at winning. I would have also put Christina up there with him before the injury, but now she may be forced out. Andy has the next best shot, and then Jeremiah.

A.J. is going to have to be incredible to make it past next week.

[Setharion]

I just read a blog from JR, and he was saying that hopefully Austin is going to have a larger part in season two of tough enough in recruiting the talent. Because that is the biggest complaint right now that none of these guys are standout, theres not really anything interesting about any of them and overall the casting is just bad.

Im hoping that is what happens because im sure Austin would help with a better cast.

[cusideabelincoln]

The overall talent level definitely needs upped. Waaaaaaaaaaay too many green guys, and the experienced guys just didn't pop out enough.

I hope we see someone show some fire and entertainment soon.

[Bezgagain20]

I wish they would do the first episode ala the Ultimate Fighter Convention tryout deal, bring in 100-200 people...Green, not green, and test them out and cut down that way, make sure they are up to par

[ManillaRoad]

I enjoyed this weeks episode, although when I found out there were 2 cuts this week I knew exactly who was going.

Steve getting Andy riled up was pretty entertaining.

[Setharion]

Steve is a genius too because that made Andy look pretty badass to get riled up like that, Steve just wants to put the fire in these guys and what a way to do that. They are all so soft in there, and Andy could make for a good starting bodyguard for someone in WWE to get started, or something along those lines.

But im glad Austin made that dude get fired up.

[BingJohnson]

I like how he gave him major crap about calling himself Silent Rage. But Andy was absolutely awful as a tour guide, and pretty bad in his 2 minutes of calling out Bill.

Right now, I'm rooting for Jeremiah because he is a hillbilly not unlike myself. But really I don't care who wins as long as it's not Luke. He's a tool.

[ManillaRoad]

I know Luke has made us hate him over the course of the series....just like a heel should do. I don't think it was an accident.

The silent rage thing always makes me laugh, because when he is silent he isn't angry and when he's angry he isn't silent. there's no silent rage in this guy at all.

I like Jeremiah too, but he doesn't seem like he'd be a WWE guy at all.

[Setharion]

Luke i think has potential, definitly.

Yea austin was pretty hilarious this episode, when he was like "siiiiiIIIilent rage....sounds like a goddamn christmas carol son" ;D

Priceless, my god where have guys like Austin went in the WWE!

[cusideabelincoln]

Andy and Luke are the last ones standing. Pretty easy to spot that one once Martin went down.

[Setharion]

Andy for me just has the look and feel when he opens up, when hes out of his shell he really just has that big man look and hes my pick, hope he can pull it off!

[cusideabelincoln]

Well he pulled it off, but he's still in one hell of a shell.

On Raw his head was slumped down a lot even when he was yelling. The big guy needs to stand tall and let his head roar back when he lets out emotion.

It will probably take a very long while before he has charisma and is comfortable. It's quite possible he'll never have charisma. But I suppose Edge went from an awkward talker to one of the best because he got more comfortable doing it, and Andy could do the same. It took Edge a long time, though, to do that.

Spot on man, i think if Andy can break out of his shell he will get things on the right track. The times when he let loose, he had the look and feel of a wrestler i could get into.

It will take time though, definitly. Edge was a good example, took him a bit and he finally broke through. I think Andy will be decent, and im sure we havent seen the last of Luke.

[BingJohnson]

Highlight of the finale for me was when Andy said he felt insulted that Luke was in the same righ as him. ;D
