Official Tough Enough Discussion Thread/Spoilers

Loved Bill laughing at Eric busting his ass

Rima is going home. Just really obvious unless she pulls something out of her ass come elimination ring time with Austin like Ryan did.

 

[SAIYANS]

I have much, much, much, much, much x infinity respect for Rima

She should be signed on and get to work with Finlay like Trish did or Arn like Candice did. She could at least be a good manager.

1st time everyone was sad to see someone get eliminated and understandbly so girl is tough as hell and if she keeps up with it a few years from now we can see her in WWE. Right now though her body obviously can't handle it and knew she was gonna break down at some point.

She'll probably end up being on in a few months, let alone a few years which would be so bad it'd be hilarious because she was truly awful. Green or not, just watching her on the past show was so cringeworthy.

Well speaking of her

- After being eliminated on last night's WWE Tough Enough, Miss USA Rima Fakih hinted to fans that she was "not gone for good" from WWE. It's been speculated all along that no matter what the outcome of Tough Enough was, that Rima would have a job with WWE anyway.

I'm glad but she needs to be down in FCW for a long while before coming to Raw or Smackdown.

 

[SAL]

The whole competition reality show concept is pointless if most/all of these people will get a chance at developmental anyway, isn't it?

 

[PHX]

Not really as the winner gets a contract and the others have to hope to luck up to even get a shot to be in WWE. Rima is pretty much the only one I've read anything about getting a shot at WWE regardless. The rest went back to what they were doing.

 

[SAIYANS]

To be fair, she would get in anyway with or w/o TE. She just proved herself with the show, even if she was bad, she proved that she wanted it and took wrestling serious. The girls have the best shot at getting signed because well one is Miss USA, one was in FCW anyway, and one is Puerto Rican and has a Carlo Colon's endorsement. Divas also have a shorter window than men normally, so that helps them as well.

The guys really to me that have a shot are Luke, Jeremiah, Skids, Eric, Martin, and Andy for different reasons. I haven't seen enough of Tumbleweed to really judge him yet

The whole thing about TE is that they get a Raw or SD deal and immediate roster spot according to DeMott on MNM.

The others who get a FCW deal will just help move some tickets at FCW, so it makes sense to cash in on their 15 minutes of fame, just like they have done with the NXT guys and girls who went back there. You'll weed out who to stay and who to keep later, but you can make a quick buck off of them since they were on TV and a audience knows them, even if it is just at the developmental level.

- Shed Media and the USA Network were pushing for Miss USA Rima Fakih to win WWE Tough Enough, with the feeling that her participation and winning would give the show lots of press once this season was over, building momentum for the second season. As the show went on, Rima winning became impossible to justify and she was eliminated last week.

While I liked Rima there was not a chance in hell she was winning T.E so glad that Austin is really picking who stays and who goes and not USA or Shed.

Rima's Diva Dirt interview is interesting.

She says that Michelle broke her rib during that day where she was shaken up and right before she quit. Bill told her she was stupid when he realized what was hurting her and why she couldn't roll on the mat in their one on one time; Rima did say that she was given the option to take time off from the challenges that got her eliminated but refused. Girl really knows her history (especially her Trish and Austin history) from the way she was talking, and I find it funny that she said her dad and mom still thinks she is crazy for trying to wrestle.

 

[PHX]

So sounds like it just made Michelle's option to quit easier to go with her main reason for doing so.

 

[SAIYANS]

I hope I didn't word that poorly. Michelle broke Rima's rib in that week of training.

• Says Michelle broke her rib during that challenge where she was shaken up and before she quit
• Says Christina was her best friend and Ivilesse is still a mystery to her
• Says Bill noticed that her rib was hurt when he poked her in it because he noticed she couldn't do a roll on one side,
• Says Arianne knew nothing about wrestling
• Says she loves Trish, admires her, and grew up wanting to be her and do what she did
• Says that the dog challenge was her favorite challenge because it was a thrill
• Says a lot about how she respects Stone Cold and what he means to the business
• Says cheerleading sucked because she never did it before
• Said her mother and father still thinks she is crazy for wrestling and wanting to still wrestle
• Says that she was given the option to sit out the final challenges which got her eliminated because of her rib but said no because she didn't want to be handed anything, and that resulted in her breaking 2 more ribs
• Says she thought Jeremiah was a prick but that changed when he talked about how much he loved his son
• Says Luke was really cool around the house
• Says WM was amazing for her
• Says what she will never have taken from her is the fact she can do a suplex
• Says that she went to the WWF store to get autographs as a kid with her brothers and would ride all the way to New York with them to watch the show
• Says she threw the drink at Andy because he insulted her mother and she doesn't play that
• Says when she is cleared medically, she would like to go to WWE, but Bill DeMott referred her to a school first to help her along

 

[PHX]

Oh ok way you put it made it seem like Michelle broke her ribs and that played into her quitting to go home to be a mother. Interesting that Rima got fucked up that bad but she was due to break down. Tough girl though.

 

[SAIYANS]

She also apologized to Cena's wife for proposing because she didn't know he was married when she did it, but joked that he never did turn her down
