Compared to how she was on Tough Enough, being as good as KK would be a hell of an improvement. KK might not be able to string together a match, but she can at least do an occasional crisp move.

If she really wants to do it and works hard, she'll be ok. Like someone said... this TE wasn't exactly a good place for someone with NO training. You had to learn very fast, and she had a different learning curve then a guy like Jeremiah who may have been green, but was in insanely good (athletic) shape physically.

She'll be fine as long as DeMott doesn't sit on her again.

She had no experience going in, but still showed some upside. If she got normal training she might develop into something better. Given what I saw, I think she should at least have a shot at being trained. But yeah, she definitely wasn't ready for TV.

She's got balls. And she showed a lot of spunk. I think she could be cock of the walk if she doesn't act like a dick.

I heard she's not all that interested in wrestling, and seems more intent on a career as an actress.

I don't get Tough enough and how you could have people of different experience levels in the same competition

I don't get Tough enough and how you could have people of different experience levels in the same competition The original premise of Tough Enough was to turn ordinary people into professional wrestlers. I preferred that format, even though it wasn't an entirely great idea to put them immediately on the main roster, so it's easy to see why they'd discontinue that *cough*JackieGayda*cough*.

Well that Melina vs Alicia Fox girl from week one claimed she got signed to a developmental deal, so I don't see why they wouldn't sign someone about as awful but far more marketable. It's hard to tell from the way the show is edited, but it didn't really look like this season of Tough Enough is very friendly to someone who has never stepped in a ring before. So maybe she could actually get it being taught under normal circumstances instead of in competition with actual wrestlers while having to pretend to be a cheerleader or roller skate diner waitress every week. Or maybe not, she didn't look very athletic. Hell, it's not very friendly to someone that HAS stepped in the ring before. If anything, it's an even bigger disadvantage because they're expecting more out of the people with experience. But in the case of Matt, he seemed like he was trying to not offend the trainers by moving faster than what they're teaching...then gets eliminated for it. In my opinion, Matt was doing the right thing. Anybody else remember Josh getting chewed out during his audition for TE season 1 when he entered the ring by flipping over the ropes? I also remember someone else from either season 1 or 2 getting chewed out for throwing a knee in the corner when they hadn't been taught that technique yet. But back on topic...yea I think Rima will get signed regardless. She wouldn't be the first person to get signed from Tough Enough without actually winning. The diva search also had a bad tendency of signing half the contestants regardless of whether or not they won.

Oh I absolutely believe Rima will be back on WWE TV working in some capacity in the not so distant future. I don't think she'll be wrestling right away though.

Diva Dirt has an interview with her up now. I haven't listened to it, but a summary says that she had a rib injury but stuck with it, even though it was one of the reasons she got eliminated. Apparently, Michelle is the one who caused it.

I also remember someone else from either season 1 or 2 getting chewed out for throwing a knee in the corner when they hadn't been taught that technique yet. Difference is, they told Matt to show off. They made it clear that they wanted people to fight for their spot and that he should show what he had after 11 years. He didn't just not show off and get eliminated for it, or show off when they didn't want him to, he pretty much did exactly the opposite of what he was asked to do.

I don't get Tough enough and how you could have people of different experience levels in the same competition I'm not even sure the people who wrote this up thought this through. First, as you said, there are wildly differing levels of experience. Now I'm not saying that everybody should be green or everybody should have indy experience, but the experience levels should at least be somewhat balanced. They're not. They vary wildly, and it puts some people in an unwinnable position. Second, they expect people to do XYZ, then when someone does XYZ, they seem to get punished for it. We've seen people eliminated for not "taking the initiative", yet we've seen others chastised for showing off too much. We saw Stone Cold make a bottom 3 guy "ask him" why he isn't there, then Stone Cold went off and basically gave an in-character promo as if he was cutting a promo against Vince McMahon. Can you imagine if one of those rookies said that to him or Bill? Yet that's what Stone Cold said to do. It's basically saying "This is what we expect you to do. But if you do it, you're gonna get eliminated." Then you've got things like that hopping over the top rope thing. I can guarantee you that not one of those four could do that, and neither can 98% of the roster. I like the show. But when you really take a look at the structure of the show and what is expected of the contestants, it really does look like a clusterf*** that they're all just winging their way through. To get back on topic: Rima had no business on that show. Quite frankly, she's got no place in the WWE, even as a valet. I'm sure they probably hired her anyway because she's miss USA (and admittedly, she does have a good presence in front of the camera), but I'm also willing to bet that she's just using this as a stepping stone into Hollywood, and will be long gone the second something better (read: anything) comes along.

I think she genuinely wants to be a professional wrestler. If she didn't, why go through the physical hell of being on the show; especially given that as of last week, the b.s. excuse that the show was rigged for her to win it doesn't fly anymore. I mean, come on; she's Miss USA, she's pretty, and she can talk without mumbling or stumbling over her own words. If she wanted to become an actress yesterday, the question would't be "who'd hire here" as much as "how many people'd be fighting over her".
