Tough Enough is always an interested prospect when it comes around, sometimes it produces future WWE Champions like The Miz and sometimes the winners go on to do nothing, but the loser remains on the roster. (Yes, that was a Cameron reference.)
This season has been an interesting format for me in the fact that I personally haven't actually watched any full episodes, other than the casting special on WWE Network. My entire Tough Enough experience has come from the Youtube extras that WWE puts out after each show.
But with the competition now narrowed down to the Final 5, speculations are swirling around who is going to be the male and female winner of this season. But let's be honest, we're all winners cause we get to see Lita on our screens every week again.
(See look at that face. She agrees.)
But who is going to be the next Superstar and Diva? Let's get to analyzing!
Amanda is hot. She's a model and if you Google her, you're gonna get your fair share of eye candy. She fits the mold that WWE wanted for a Diva 6 years ago, but with the current crop of NXT girls, that landscape is changing. She looks like she wants it and with only two girls left, it's really a matter of if the WWE fanboys want the hot blonde or the cute girl next door.
Josh is huge. He calls himself The Yeti, even though it makes no sense at all. He looks more like white Roman Reigns. The guy is huge and brings some charisma to back it up. He and Tanner are really the toss ups to be the guy going home next in my opinion. Josh has the body of a WWE Superstar, but the problem for me is there are too many guys who look like him already, notably Reigns who is already a headliner, so where would Josh's place be.
Sara Lee is the girl next door. She's cute, she's a tom-boy, she's got that nose ring that is pretty much perfect. Sara Lee is the next best thing to AJ Lee. She's not the best in the ring, but the WWE Universe has really taken to her, probably because she's the most real person in the competition aside from ZZ. Like I said before it's a toss up female wise, but with the voting percentage Sara Lee gets when's she's in the bottom 3, you can tell she has the fan's support.
Tanner is athletic. The problem is that he's also boring. I really want to support Tanner cause he's a college alumni, we both went to Limestone College in Gaffney, SC. So while I really want to cheer him on, he just doesn't give me much to cheer on. He's really brash and incredibly arrogant, the problem is, he's got the personality of a dead cat. Athletically, he's top notch, he's like a living representation of Crossfit, but you gotta show the world something dude.
ZZ is The Waterboy. I can't really describe why I like ZZ so much, but I do. It might be that he talks like Dusty Rhodes and it might be that I just have this urge to root for the underdog, but the WWE Universe seems to like him just as much as I do. This alligator wrestler from the bayou has really earned a spot in the fan's hearts, as well as one on the trainer's hate lists. While he might not be the most athletic, ZZ has that natural charisma that you just can't teach.
Question is though: Who are my picks to win?
I'm gonna place my bet on ZZ and Sara Lee. If it ends up truly being the WWE Universe's decision, then I see these two earning what I presume is a NXT contract. But we'll all know for sure in 5 weeks!
