Next time they have some people in there they need people who:

1. Know their wrestling history I mean somebody said their favourite match was between Kelly and Alicia Fox.

2. Know a bit about wrestling

3. have some promo skill


And the show needs to be more then just Stone Cold ripping into these guys they need proper training, when Al Snow walked was training these guys he actually taught them and worked them properly and we had guys like Triple H and the Hardyz come in to teach these guys a bit of stuff but overall these guys all of them well most of them anyway had passion for the buisness.

Kind of shows you how bad the WWE are at spotting talent these days.

It was Melina and Alicia Fox, but yeah, that person is the only Tough Enough contestant who is actually on WWE TV right now.

I'm surprised he lasted this long as well, I never saw anything in him at all, even on Tough Enough. He had literally no appeal to me whatsoever.

They got WAY too attached to the fact he's a big guy. They thought they could shape him into something special, but clearly their judgement failed. Never should've won Tough Enough.

I actually liked Andy early on in the season. He had a unique look and seemed like a pretty determined guy. But as the season went on it became clear that he was just so very bland and never seemed to progress.

If only Martin hadn't gotten injured and Jeremiah hadn't done something dumb trying to be impressive, Andy would've been cut before the finals.

Yes Andy was bad and almost everyone could see that it would take plenty of time to mold him into a WWE wrestler but honestly were there many others that really could have made it? I thought that Martin was the standout but I couldn't even really see him becoming a star. As I said earlier WWE didn't cast this show, the production company did the casting so if WWE actually want to find stars then need to get involved in the casting process and search for talented individuals rather than ones with a sob story.

Andy sucked. He had potential when he finally showed some emotion.. some of that... "silent rage" but that was only one time. Other than that he was a little pansy. The other guy was a much cleaner and crisper worker.

Missed the boat there.

This showed failed for two reasons. The production control and the fact that they used guys already under contract. Seriously hmm I'm in FCW I'm going to quit join this show that'll make me famous and then I'll get fast tracked to WWE.
