WWE Tough Enough 2015: Ranking Every Contestant's Prospects

3. Zamariah "ZZ" Loupe

Eliminated: Final episode. Runner up. ZZ has two things going for him: his age and his personality. At 18 years old, he was the youngest competitor there. He also had the best personality, which is what kept him from being eliminated much earlier. What hurt ZZ was his body and work ethic. He's not a ripped guy by any means, but WWE does employ some male wrestlers with similar body types. What the judges didn't like about him was his unwillingness to take his training seriously. Josh lost about 30 pounds while getting in great shape during the show while ZZ didn't seem to lose any weight. He didn't train that much either. They also liked to mention that he'd eat at Burger King while others ate much healthier. In order to make it to WWE, he has to take his training seriously, get into the best shape possible and he'll probably make it. The fans loved the guys because he was funny. If you can win over the crowd, you're already ahead of a lot of people in wrestling. It's just a matter of improving in other areas for him. It might take him a few years to get there, but I think ZZ will end up in WWE one day only if the light goes in his head and he works his butt off to get there. Nothing will be handed to him.

2. Patrick Clark

Eliminated: Episode five. When Patrick was eliminated in the fifth episode it was probably the biggest shock of the season. He was the only male competitor that had wrestling training before he was on the show He did very well in competitions and he also received the most praise from the coaches when they did drills in the ring. Most people assumed he'd make the finals. Instead, he was the third guy eliminated. What hurt him on the show was that he was a bit too cocky when it came to the challenges as well as getting in the face of the other competitors. He needs to learn that it's okay to step back a bit in order to avoid confrontations. That stuff makes for good television, but when the TV audience is voting for you, that can be seen as a negative. The good news for Patrick is that at 19 years of age and with an impressive physique, he has a really bright future in the wrestling business. He has made appearances since he was on the show and made it clear he wants to do this for a living as well. I think WWE liked him a lot, the viewers supported him and he got a lot of sympathy for being voted out earlier than most people thought. He'll learn to be more humble because in the wrestling business that's very important. It seems like a lock that he'll end up in WWE within a year or two, if not sooner.
