    Per PWInsider: Amanda, the runner-up of Tough Enough will be joining Total Divas.

    ...I guess management must have been so furious over her ring rat comments that they punished her by still signing her anyway and putting her on their popular "reality" show.

        Man, Kharma would be awesome today. Especially in the 'divas revolution'

          Re: WWE Off-Topic

          Was looking around at old wrestling videos and came across this one. Jim Cornette always went hard, would love to see how he would do with promos today. Would he come off as good as Heyman cause I always thought they were so similar.

          This was a promo he did on Raw shortly after the NWO did their "A Flair for the Old" skit on Nitro and after Arn had to retire because of his injury

            I've always liked Cornette, but I think he's burned too many bridges to have a shot on the national stage again.

                Yeah, that's an understatement. And he's fine with that at this point, because he has done pretty well for himself living off of past success (or perceived success).

                  That and he's stuck in the past with his booking.

                    There was a backstage segment during one of the Raw's I was watching recently during the Attitude Era (can't even remember which one now lol) and Vince was walking around pissed backstage and he bumped into Cornette and just started laying into him to get his act together and do his damn job and no more of "that 80's crap." I think at this point Cornette was on either the Heat or Shotgun Saturday Night commentary team.

                      Yeah, it's funny I always associate him with mid-90s era WWE when he was managing guys (Yoko, Vader, etc) and basically writing the shows with Vince M, but he was there a while past when Russo took his spot.

                        ZZ was signed to a developmental deal.... I wanted him to win Tough Enough because I thought it would've been the best way to end that joke of a season... but I don't know how I feel about WWE going out and directly signing him

                            I see ZZ being a personality, but not necessarily an in ring guy. I could totally see him being a manager though. He does have personality. He's also only 19.

                              Plus he obviously has some type athletic ability as he definitely wouldn't have gotten this far fan voting or not. It's definitely worth a shot, personality is hard to come by
