WWE Tough Enough Opening Credits of MASSIVE HYPE!
We’re already in the middle of a training session inside the “Tough Enough” training area with A.J. & Luke grappling in the ring with Christina sitting outside with her foot in a bucket of ice. “Stone Cold” enters the training area & tells Christina that she gets a lucky break because this week’s Life Lesson is all about Charisma. Charisma is one of the few things that can’t be taught & it’s something you have or you don’t have; “Stone Cold” brings up such examples of pro wrestlers with charisma like Duane “The Rock” Johnson, Hulk Hogan, & “Superstar” Billy Graham . “Stone Cold” will get more into charisma later but tells the contestants it’s “do or die” time since there are 5 of them left.
DeMott tells the contestants they can NOW perform & lists a certain routine they must do. It’s A.J. & Luke again in the ring to start the routine out; A.J. & Luke continue to perform & they both attempt to do the Single Leg Takedown spot required which ends up looking like a Double Drop Toe Hold. Trish laughs at the mistake while “Stone Cold” makes fun of A.J. & Luke. DeMott yells at A.J. for screwing up. Next in the ring is Jeremiah & Andy; Andy’s impressing DeMott inside the ring while Jeremiah’s looking pretty stiff, Andy goes for the Single Leg Takedown & Jeremiah lands pretty ugly. DeMott tells Jeremiah that he needs to relax. Luke & Andy are next in the ring & while they are performing DeMott once again like what Andy’s doing. DeMott says that Andy & Luke put together everything they’ve learned so far & it looked perfect! DeMott gives Andy& Luke a group hug with Trish joining in for doing so well in the ring while “Stone Cold’s” smiling his ass off because he can’t believe what he’s seeing. DeMott says that’s not going to happen every day but things go right in the ring again like how Andy & Luke did that means more group hugs. DeMott compliments the men for doing a great training session today & tell them to leave & take Christina with them.
*Commercial Break 1*
The contestants are waiting at some street corner in Hollywood when a Sightseeing Double Decker Bus pulls up to them.
Inside the bus are DeMott & this man…
Guest 2. James Roday: Star of USA Network’s TV Show “psyche”.
DeMott tells the contestants that every WWE star has charisma & that’s why people watch WWE every week. DeMott introduces Roday & he responds by doing a boob grab on DeMott for cheap laughs, Luke says seeing the bus with Roday & DeMott was certainly a surprise. Roday says that it’s not about perfecting the moves or your looks but charisma is a common trait that has to be on at all times even when you’re away from the ring. Roday’s assigning the contestants this week’s Life Lesson Challenge. Each of the contestants will be conducting their own 10 minute Hollywood Walk Of Fame bus tour in front of a tour group, DeMott says this should be easy.
The “And To Your Left Is A Naked Pig” Life Lesson Challenge Begins! The first tour group gets on the bus & it’ll be A.J. conducting this tour, A.J. says he never conducted a tour before but he’s an expert in public speaking so this should be easy. A.J.’s trying to be factual on the tour, Roday mentions to DeMott that he’s “leaving it all on the bus”. A.J’s missed a fact or two; DeMott says that A.J.’s all facts & no personality. Luke’s next conducting this tour & he tries to involve DeMott in the tour by saying that whenever he tries to make fun of DeMott the tour group should say “HEY-OH!” Luke tries to do his routine by insulting DeMott but the joke BOMBS thus making Luke’s “Hey-Ho!” & Luke looking REALLY pathetic. (RD:”Three lessons here. One, don’t think & act like you’re “The World’s Greatest Comedian” because if you do it’s going to blow up in your face. Two, never force a joke or a routine on the public because they won’t respond. Three, douche bags make HORRIBLE comedians!“)
(RD:”Case in Point… “)
The Situation on \”The Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump\”
Roday tells DeMott that Luke’s “corny”, DeMott says that Luke had an idea & he was hoping it would go a different way, Luke STILL continues to do his routine & he still BOMBS! (RD:”Another lesson. Don’t do the same joke when you know that it’s going to bomb!“) Roday tells DeMott that at least Luke had a theme; DeMott says that Luke went down with the ship. Christina is next conducting her tour & she sounds very peppy! Unfortunately Christina isn’t prepared to do the tour so she’s fumbling around trying to say anything & looking really bad. Christina is just throwing out any location that the bus passes by, DeMott says that Christina does not have “people skills” & behind the looks there’s nothing, Christina ends the tour with DeMott proudly saying “Thank God this tour has ended!” Andy’s next conducting the tour but he’s facing the driver more than the tour group & cites incomplete facts, DeMott tries to shake him on it, but Andy takes it & moves on while making the “brain fart” noise; Andy tries to continue on with the tour but uses his microphone wrong which causes feedback, DeMott says that Andy’s probably not comfortable talking to people, Andy continues to struggle. Jeremiah is next conducting the tour & he breaks the ice by doing some bad rap which gets the tour group to laugh, Jeremiah says that when it came to this challenge & charisma all he needed to do was be himself; Jeremiah continued to crack bad joke after bad joke which got the tour group to laugh some more, Jeremiah tries to pick up some chicks using the microphone while DeMott leans over to Roday saying that he didn’t learn anything about Hollywood but he was sure entertained & says that Jeremiah has charisma. The tour bus has parked & everybody got out. DeMott asks Roday how the contestants did, Roday says that all of them had their good moments but it was Jeremiah who took a huge risk that made him stand out. DeMott thanks Roday for helping him out & tells the contestants to leave.

First thing they need to do is relax because if you’re that stiff something bad can happen. “Stone Cold” says that it’s “Skill Challenge” time. The objective of this “Skills Challenge” is that each contestant will cut a 2-minute promo on DeMott. “The Rock” is going to stick around to watch the fun.
The “Cut a Promo” Skills Challenge Begins! Jeremiah is going to do his promo first while the rest of the contestants leave the training area & will come in until called. “Stone Cold” says cutting promos are very important in WWE & he loves to talk so the contestants MUST know how to cut a promo. “Stone Cold” starts the clock & Jeremiah starts his promo; during the promo “Stone Cold” is smiling towards Jeremiah’s promo, Jeremiah finishes his promo exactly at 2 minutes. DeMott tells “Stone Cold”, Trish, & “The Rock” that Jeremiah felt very comfortable cutting that promo, “Rock” says that Jeremiah was thinking during that promo. Luke is next to cut his promo & “Stone Cold” starts the clock; Luke starts his promo with “The Rock” looking concerned, Luke finished his promo & walks off before “Stone Cold” yells for time.

DeMott’s shocked at A.J. promo & says it was good. While A.J. leaves the ring, DeMott turns around with his jaw hitting the floor, “Stone Cold” says A.J. took everything that was being told to him since Week 1 of the show & sent it straight to DeMott & it was the best promo of the day; “Rock” says that A.J. made believers not only of himself, but everybody in the training area & “the audience”, “Stone Cold” says that A.J. hit a Triple after he struck out a lot. “Stone Cold” orders the contestants back in the training area & he’ll let “The Rock” cut a promo on the contestants to say who the winner is. “The Rock” cuts one of his legendary promos & berates all the contestants until he stops at A.J. “Rock” stops at A.J…. & does a fist bump to him & says he did great. That means…A.J. wins The Skills Challenge! A.J. says he was flattered that “The Rock” says his promo was good but right now all he’s thinking about is not being in The Bottom Three. “Stone Cold” thanks “The Rock” for the visit but right now he, DeMott, & Trish are going to go in his office to decide who’s in The Bottom Three.

Andy pauses for a second & says Christina will not be as successful as him, “Stone Cold” asks why, Andy says Christina is not as talented as himself.
“Stone Cold” says he has good news & bad news & asks Andy what does he wants to hear, Andy says he doesn’t care just say it, “Stone Cold” says that tonight it’s going to be…A DOUBLE ELIMINATION! “Stone Cold” says only one of them will survive this elimination & be in The Final Three with Luke & Jeremiah. The room is deathly quiet at the moment. “Stone Cold” walks up to Christina & asks if her heart is beating very fast, Christina says yes, “Stone Cold” asks Christina if she has any passion, Christina nods her head yes, AND…
“Stone Cold” Steve Austin: “I’m not seeing it, I’m not feeling it. I’m not buying it.” (“Stone Cold” takes Christina’s Replica Belt)
Christina says that it’s a mistake for “Stone Cold” to eliminate her. “Stone Cold” says he doesn’t make mistakes. “Stone Cold” asks Andy if he showed him the best he got, Andy says no, “Stone Cold” wants Andy to repeat himself, Andy yells at “Stone Cold” saying that he hasn’t! AND…
“Stone Cold” Steve Austin: (points to Andy)“Your ass better show me something tomorrow!” (points to A.J.) “You’re going home just like she is! (Christina)”

A.J. Kirschs’ Post-Elimination Interview: Really disappointed that it ended this way. The show was one way to get into WWE but it turned out to be a dead end but he feels he should be in WWE one day. Problem was he had a lot of bad days that stacked up but he has some moments he’ll treasure & this is not the end of him.
(RD:”Talent wise A.J. was pretty average at best but he was a likable guy. I’m surprised A.J. survived this far to the Top 5. I wish him well.“)
Christina Crawford’s Post-Elimination Interview: Bad week for her generally speaking. Talks about being “on” all the time but wasn’t. Still upset though because she wanted to be the last one standing & she’ll work on her craft until she’s the Number 1 Diva.
(RD:”Halleulah!“)
In his office “Stone Cold” says Christina has good ring work but she was exposed by having no personality at all & thinks she’s shy & hoping if somebody can help her out with that she can have a future in pro wrestling but not in WWE at the moment. “Stone Cold” says that it was time for A.J. to go even though he was okay ring wise but he’s trying to find the next WWE Superstar so it’s time to say goodbye to A.J. “Stone Cold” hangs up Christina’s & A.J.’s Replica Belts “Hell’s Kitchen” style!
Next Time: And then there were 3; Andy, Luke, & Jeremiah. All three of them are going to experience something AWESOME when The Miz stops by. The Final Three are struggling at the moment because they have to face “Stone Cold” one last time for the Final Elimination to determine the Final Two.
