No disrespect to the guy but Let's be honest, he is out of shape and belongs nowhere near a WWE ring.
I can't believe they even picked him to be in it.

HHH said when he initially cut him he would be an amazing reality TV Star, and boy is he ever, and he's about to be 250k Richer because of it.

If they want him gone, my guess is they have the judges "save" the other two, which means ZZ is eliminated.

Because it'd be entirely out of wee's power to just release him, It's an obvious attempt to make him the next bryan.

Could very well be, but deep down, knowing what the company perceives at the perfect wrestler image, having ZZ win would be a nightmare to them It's even worse knowing that USA is going to force Vince to push him, even though the guy can't and won't ever be able to work. And yeah, people are going to get off on sticking it to Vince, but how far are they willing to take it? Well, look at how far Vince went to stick it to fans of Daniel Bryan (to name one example). What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

I don't understand how ZZ's in-ring skills haven't improved yet. Swimming in gator pits and going through obstacle courses usually make people learn how to bodyslam.

Let's just wait and see. He could become better than Daniel Bryan ever was.

I don't think they made a wrong choice with having ZZ on the show just because he could be the "likable guy that has no chance of actually winning, but the audience still loves". They just made him a little bit too likable so that now the audience expects him to win and anyone who argues with ZZ ends up going home. It'll be interesting to see how the editing for this week's Tough Enough paints ZZ even though they can't control the live stuff.

He should already be gone Its a shame that Mada was eliminated before him You can thank The Miz for that cause he wanted to save some dumb blonde from going home. Now even if he wanted to try and get rid of ZZ he can't and if Bryan and Paige where to do their saves to f**k ZZ over their fans woukd generally hate them for that Bryan and Paige could produce a sex tape together where all they do is shout racial slurs and the fans would still cheer them.

I like how a lot of the same people I see complain about how awful the product is today are the same ones hoping people vote for a guy who they admit sucks....because WWE thinks he sucks and isn't working to get better. Some of you are seemingly intentionally averse to making sense. Oh no, it makes plenty of sense. It's spite towards a company that often actively disrespects what fans want. I get that part. I'm young and black, there's nothing I sympathize with more than sticking it to the man. That said, maybe it's just me, but this seems really shortsighted. For one, like I said before, when they're forced to put this guy on television because USA wants Tough Enough to mean something again, he's not taking television time from the guys the office likes. Cena, Reigns, Team Bella, the Local Men, they're all straight. No, it's the guys like KO and Ziggler and Cesaro who are going to be losing television time. Hell, depending on how petty the office is, they might just put him over a couple of crowd favorites for the hell of it. Two, if the people really get behind ZZ, that's basically just handing a new weapon to the sycophants like Kevin Dunn and Michael Hayes, because you just know the next time someone the office doesn't like gets over, it wouldn't take anything for one of them to pipe up and say "Well, the people got behind ZZ. The people are just wrong sometimes." I just feel like this is one of those things that could easily backfire.

Oh no fans are voting for him, He's found the ultimate loophole. If they want him gone they can simply either A: release him, B hire him and job him out forever, C hire him then fire him for whatever reason. I think the other poster was right, Worked sympathy for the guy.

I think the other poster was right, Worked sympathy for the guy. There was a thing a few weeks ago about how USA Network is unhappy with the realization only partway through this season that the winner of Tough Enough never actually amounts to anything, so the expectation people have here is that they're going to pressure WWE into keeping him on and pushing him, since they were the one that wanted this show to begin with. Which means that him winning could potentially put them into a spot where they have to actually do something with him to keep the network happy.

Which is not a good thing whatsoever. Poor kid will probably just be hated by everyone in the locker room.

I think hiring him and jobbing him out forever is a great ideax but only to the bigger names so as to give the illusion that they're something with him
