Is Wendell Wrestlecrap?

[TheDieselTrain]

I was watching some of my Tough enough tapes last week and I dont know if he's been inducted or not but is Wendell Wrestlecrap? I thought apperance wise he might have had it then he began wheezing and acting out of breath and all that mumbo jumbo. Then he was on the ground wheezing and talking to himself out loud a second time. Then Al Snow chews him out then kicks him out of tough enough. That was some good viewing. I say induct him

Was this the black guy with the dreads from season 2? I wrote an email to RD long, looooong back that that guy should have a special induction.
The guy thought he was living a Rocky movie. He half-assed everything, would have this weird panting and wheezing episodes (he'd say over and over he was about to pass out)and then when anyone approached him he gave some practiced movie inspired spiel about how nobody believed in him, but he was going to reach the top all on his own if he had to. He was so overdramatic, and then got his ass shipped home because nobody bought any of it.

Wendell is general crap, not Wrestlecrap. He tried to fake his way through the prelims and got caught. Then he tried to do it again. And he got caught again. I was just dying for Al to stretch him a bit when he got cut.

Little drama queen. His dreads were half-assed, too.

Wasnt he the one that said that he had been in a ring before but when he got there had no clue what he was doing?

[Christianv2]

Wendell?

[Ultimo Chocula]

Naw, I think you actually have to be worth mentioning to be considere Wrestlecrap. Wendall was such a stain.

sorry this may be a dumb quesiton, but do you think that guy was an intentional plant so they could humiliate someone? I mean, i remember him running up hills and not even trying, and having that horrible attitude, they had to pick this guy for the sole purpose of making fun of him?

My favorite Wendell moment was when all the contestants were sitting indoors somwhere, and Al Snow was giving a speech to them. And Wendell was sitting there, wearing sunglasses and looking all smug, like he thought he was the Rock or something. And then Al Snow notices him and says: "Wendell, take those f***ing sunglasses off."

Didn't Wendell auction himself on ebay for a 15 minute wrestling match and even offered a replica WWF world title belt in the deal as well?

[GenerationX7]

Who is Wendell? Why would you want one man from TE to be inducted when you can induct all of TE. That show was crap anyway.

[Hypnotix]

I totally forgot about Wendell until this thread. Man, RD could have a heyday between all four seasons of TE. Especially the first two. I seem to remember a fat guy from the first season who sucked as well, but only managed to stick around for the first three weeks because some of the other contestants would quit before someone got cut. He later auctioned himself for an appearance on eBay. I forget his name, though.

RD, the people have spoken. We need a TE-dedicated week. Certainly there's three good WC-worthy entries in there.

I just remembered another great (and by great, I mean "crappy") Tough Enough moment: when the season 2 cast were brought in front of the camera to do promos. And that spike-headed guy (the one who later made it to the finals) insisted that his character name would be "Chisel" because he thought he had chiselled abs.

Then he cut a really HORRIBLE bland promo while everyone else just watched him in awkward silence. Then, to finish the promo, he took off his shirt to reveal his chiselled abs, as if that was supposed to invoke fear in his opponent. And everyone just continued to watch him in awkward silence.

It was like a pro wrestling version of "The Office."

TE4 is wrestlecrap it is just like the Diva search. HORRIBLE!

[A Platypus Rave]

I didn't find tough enough 4 THAT bad, However the fact that the fans voted people off didn't make any sense to me. Especially since they didn't show any of the people actually training/wrestling or get any thoughts from the trainers, who made all the decisions on the other 3 versions of the show.

[obi]

i liked season three, only they showed it in the UK many, many times, all of them months after the event had finished. and matts still not on TV dammit!

[A Platypus Rave]

he was supposed to be last year when Chavo challenged THE WOOOOOOOORLD.

But Holly quickly put a stop to that, and Jackie was chosen to take his place.

[alfus]

sorry- i was looking through the old forums....

does anyone remember the guy on tough enough that claimed he could kick taz's ass? that guy ended up on the show and was like out in the first round.

I remember that. He gave himself a name, then Lombardi challenged by giving him a name and told him to make something of it, so they said his name was "Goofy"

but he basically did the same crappy tough guy promo only saying that people call him Goofy

man, Hawk should have won that year

[vampirebadger]

did the guy who dislocated his shoulder but did the assualt course anyway in te4 get the ovw contract like they said.

Matt was on heat a couple of times and they are putting him on smackdown dark matches a few months agao.. maybe he isn't quite ready yet...
