Guest Kingpk Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Linda Miles and Jackie Gayda have not been impressing OVW officials since going down to work after winning Tough Enough 2. Linda Miles is regarded as a great athlete, but reportedly doesn’t do her homework or watch videos. Jackie Gayda, is considered a total flop who doesn’t understand anything about the wrestling business.

They have OODLES of "talent" and that is why they shafted OVW guys to give them WWEeee contracts...

Let's put her, HHH, Steph, and Gerwitz all in the same car accident. >=D
Guest crandamaniac Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Geez, think of all the guys (and girls) they could of picked up instead, but yet they waste their money on something like this. Why? Because Kevin Dunn loved the idea of having Jackie win T.E.2, they could of had Jake or somebody a ton more talented
Guest Brian Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 I'm sorry, but Jake would have been a flop in the ring too.
Guest buffybeast Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Jake had or continues to have a bad attitude from what I've read. Kenny needs some maturing according to Big. I think Linda just needs to have a fire lit under her ass. Jackie should go home and be a stripper.
ChrisMWaters Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Jackie should go home and be a stripper. Heh...maybe she could join Ryan Shamrock/Melody in that department. >=)
Guest FeArHaVoC Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 I don't think anyone on TE2 Was worth a Damn.
Guest BoboBrazil Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Kenny should have got the contract. I never saw this immaturity on camera. He went out to a club and had sex with a chick. So? Wrestlers do this all the time on the road. He was by far the best wrestler on the show and seemed to have good charisma.
Guest humongous2002 Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Tough Enough is nothing but a joke, none of them deserve to have WWE contracts, none of them have shown any signs of potential for this business.
Guest snowfan Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Tough Enough is nothing but a joke, none of them deserve to have WWE contracts, none of them have shown any signs of potential for this business. Arguably Nowinski. But if you'll recall there were a lot of us who said that back then....
Guest humongous2002 Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Well Nowinski actually earned his spot in the WWE compared to the other Tough Enough wrestlers wannabees and he is still very green in the ring but he is 100 times better compared to Maven.

Guest buffybeast Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Kenny should have got the contract. I never saw this immaturity on camera. He went out to a club and had sex with a chick. So? Wrestlers do this all the time on the road. He was by far the best wrestler on the show and seemed to have good charisma. Getting wasted and sleeping with a rat while you are supposed to be soley focused on the task at hand: getting a contract is immature. Wrestlers who do this are already signed to the company and have years of experience. Kenny was trying to get into the company. He was supposed to be on his best behaviour while trying to gain this contract. He was foolish to do those things when he knew that the company was watching and evaluating him at all times.
Guest FeArHaVoC Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 That is true. I mean, you have people like Big, Jim Ross and Kevin Dunn who are watching these young, decent looking guys hook up and get laid by all these women. I'm sure they could relate.
Guest Brian Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Nowinski is crap. His promos are getting boring and his ring work is weak. He's too fucking lanky in there and he moves like a horse in labor.
Guest jester Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Let's see: Nidia: has got a good character going with this whole Trailer Trash thing. Might get old soon. I wonder if they should try turning Noble and Nidia face. After all, I think the average guy can relate to wanting to get a high-paying, glitzy job and leaving the blue collar world behind. Nowinski: very green, but he has a good character. I wish they'd let him cheat to win more often. He gets squashed a lot. Maven: I lump him in with Cena and pre-RNN Orton. They haven't given me a reason to care about him. Once they get into WWE, they need to ABANDON their Tough Enough gimmick as soon as possible, and establish some kind of distinct personality, like Nowinski and Nidia. Right now, I'm suprised they don't accidentally hang coats on him. Linda Miles: haven't seen. Jackie: Poor ol' Jackie. You mean to tell me they can't even use her as a valet? How sad is it when you're outclassed by Stacy Keibler?
Guest buffybeast Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 That is true. I mean, you have people like Big, Jim Ross and Kevin Dunn who are watching these young, decent looking guys hook up and get laid by all these women. I'm sure they could relate. Well, JR did say that he received a lot of emails asking about Big's marital status. Maybe Big has ring rats after him, too.
Guest Human Fly Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 After that terrible tag match during the summer they just should've cut their losses with Jackie. Send her home for the remainder of her contract. One thing's for sure whoever wins TE3 won't get put out on tv right after they win like Jackie and Linda.
Guest BoboBrazil Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Plus, if they didn't pick Kenny because he was immature, why did they pick any of them? They all went out and did the same things as Kenny. If you want to talk about immature that is Jackie Gayda. She is the one who got drunk out of her mind and almost screwed another guy in a hot tub, then she sobbed about it forever. They picked her and not Kenny, even though Kenny clearly showed the signs of a future great wrestler and had good knowledge of the wrestling business.
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Saying none of them have any potential whatsoever is really just refusal on your part to accept new people into the company. Hell, I'm sure Benoit wasn't the god he is now after only nine weeks of training. But he showed tremendous potential, which at least Maven and Nowinski show now, as well as Kenny had he won, which he should have. You also have to remember what channel this program is on, and who has say in who is cut and even accepted onto the show in the first place, MTV. MTV producers are present at the auditions, so they help screen out people that wouldn't be healthy for ratings yet might be the best people out there, like perhaps a less-than-attractive Indy worker. I don't recall his name, but remember the very first person to quit the first season? He was a young and attractive (and admittedly), moderately experienced Indy worker. Remember, cuts are also influenced by MTV executives, as oh-so-very wrong as that is. We also can't expect them to go out and put on *** or more matches without sufficient training or movesets. The only real offensive moves the TE people have in their movesets besides punching and kicking are dropkicks and moonsaults. A year in OVW is supposed to fix this, but Maven was kept on TV, which kept him with the WWE style, Nidia was made into a slutty valet, and Jackie and Linda were also thrown on TV immediately before they could even spend a day in OVW. Now I don't have access to OVW tapes, so they could be improving or not, I have no clue. Jackie's conduct doesn't surprise me, as all accounts, as well as her Blind Date appearance, show that she's got a massive head, and if her work in the ring that I've seen is a good indicator of how she still is, she'll be stripping within a year. Linda's got loads of room for improvment, we just have to be shown so. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Guest buffybeast Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 "Remember, cuts are also influenced by MTV executives, as oh-so-very wrong as that is." From what I've read on Tough Enough, the MTV execs play a role in choosing the contestants but that is it. They don't have any say in who gets cut as they have no expertise in wrestling.
Guest the 1inch punch Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Kenny and Jake apparantly have huge egos on the indy circuit now
Guest razazteca Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Jackie's only potential is that she could be the next DIVA on Playboy, other than that keep her out of the ring. So are you telling me that Jackie cannot even do a mud wrestling match in a G-String yet? Can she at least do a promo.....she looked like a heel on Blind Date. Just team her up with Mike Sanders, and have them complain how they were held down, the smarks will eat this up, on tv. Who was responsible for making Trish into a decent wrestler? was it Finley? if so then send these TE want-a-be wrestlers to his gym and let Fit Finley, Ivory, Jazz, Jaquline stretch them out!
Guest dreamer420 Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Jackie is hot at least so they should just give her an eye candy role and write her off.
Guest RenegadeX28 Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 I knew that was gonna happen. After that disappointing TE2, I knew the winners would go to waste. Now, it is a whole different story with TE3, where almost all the women have left, and the only good one left is Jamie. Kelly...I don't know.....
Guest razazteca Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 it looks like TE3 will have similar problems Jamie is a crybaby attention whore ring rat Kelly is a clone of Lita, injuried proned Scott is a drunk
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Hey now, Scott isn't a drunk anymore. I will tell you this though, tonight's episode will be GOLD for my recap, to anyone who reads it. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Guest Youth N Asia Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Tits got the deal just cause she took a couple bumps with a bum leg, and kudos to her, but she sucked. Early in the season I forgot her name and started calling her "Tits", it just stuck. Last year's female cast was brutal...I'm really glad unenthused kids who couldn't make it as a worker can get a contract while guys like CM Punk, Chris Hero, and Chris Daniels get shafted. Granted there's a couple TE exceptions...but it's like making a boy band, I don't like it.
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted November 21, 2002 Report Posted November 21, 2002 Just back off of Jonah and Scott. Anyone who reads my recaps know I hold those two in very high regard. Oh, and Kelly too, for being Lita-Lite. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
