O participante do Tough Enough, Jeremiah Riggs foi informado esta semana que a WWE não pretendia oferecer-lhe um contrato de desenvolvimento. O lutador de MMA não perdeu tempo e na primeira entrevista dada após ter conhecimento do não interesse da WWE, disparou em várias direcções e sobretudo sobre Bill DeMott, treinador do Tough Enough e sobre a FCW. Eis o que disse Riggs
"I was informed yesterday that the WWE isn’t going to use me. Two weeks ago I was invited to go to Tampa to tryout for FCW and from what they gathered they loved my personality but they said I was only average in the ring and said I have a bad attitude and carried myself like I had something to prove.
I told them that if I’m average I’m doing pretty damn good considering I had only done this for two months. If I can get to average in several weeks imagine what I can do in a few months. And of course I’m eager to prove myself. I was surrounded by guys who had done this for several years and they were all wondering who this new rookie was. I had to show them I belonged."
"What do they want in a superstar? I don’t need a character. I’m Jeremiah Riggs. I don’t need a new name or gimmick. The WWE has a shitty developmental roster. No one stands out. They are all scared of failure and half of them have been there for years. They are all the same and do the same stuff. Sure, they have a few guys that have potential but they are all clones. But I’m not going to be just like everybody else. What are they going to do send me home? You can’t scare someone who ain’t afraid."
"Me and Bill were cool on the show. I heard he got a job as a scout for the WWE and I was glad to hear he was doing good for himself. He deserves it after so long in the business. When I was in Tampa doing my match with Orlov, Bill was praising me and talking about how good I was doing.
I was doing stuff that Luke and Andy couldn’t do, on the first try. But when I walked into FCW a few weeks ago he acted like he was too cool to talk to me. He’s changed man. He thinks he is somebody because he was the big man on the show. I guess Hollywood went to his head. Sure he had a mediocre wrestling career and found new life on Tough Enough. I don’t give a shit. I’ll whoop his fat ass."

nao o contrataram por ele ser apenas mediano no ringue mas contrataram o Andy que é pior e tem menos carisma...
ResponderEliminareu nao acompanho FCW por isso nao posso dizer ate que ponto o que ele diz tem sentido mas nao me admira nada que seja assim.
Na minha opinião quem devia ter ganho o Tough Enough era o Jeremiah.
ResponderEliminarO Jeremiah pode ainda não ter muita experiência em ringue, mas tem carisma e capacidade para evoluir rapidamente as suas ring-skills. Ao contrário do Andy que não é lá grande coisa em ringue e carisma é fraco.
Preferia que tivesse ganho o Luke mas isso sou eu.
ResponderEliminarass: rkoorton
Vish, depois desse comentário ai sim que a WWE nunca mais contrata o cara,lamentável.
ResponderEliminarEu sempre achei que a a christina deveria ganhar e fazer um tag team com a sua irmã(Alicia Fox) pra responder as Bellas...
ResponderEliminarMas se não fosse ela ,gostava muito que fosse o Jeremiah ,quer dizer...ele tem uma GIMMICK própria e n precisa de remodelação nesse sentido. Mas em ringue o Luke o superava.
O Jeremiah só se enterrou com esse comentário...
