WWE Tough Enough, February 24 Update: First Matches for Matt and Jonah

Not much news, but the news we have is big enough to warrant a quick report!

TE3 winner Matt Cappotelli (with whom we hope to have an interview soon!) had his first house show match in his home town of Kalamazoo, Michigan, last Saturday. Matt teamed with Maven to defeat Chief Morley and Chris Nowinski. Matt got the pin with a cross body block off the top rope, in a match that was said to be very good.

Matt will discuss this and many other topics in our interview, which I hope to have posted by the end of the week!

Fellow TE3 finalist Jonah Adelman made his debut with NWA:TNA Wednesday night. Introduced as “Jonah, that kid who lost Tough Enough 3,” he faced Mike Sanders on the PPV broadcast. Apparently, Sanders offered Jonah a night with some blonde chick if he would join the “S.E.X.” group. I don’t pay enough attention to TNA to know what that means, and don’t much care, to be honest. Jonah refused the offer (although he was “tempted”) and the match was on.

Sanders controlled most of the early going, but Jonah eventually came back to apply an STF submission hold Then the blonde from earlier flashed her breasts at him. Obviously distracted, Jonah was hit by a side slam from Sanders for the pin at around the six minute mark.

The two reports of the show I read indicated that the match was not very good.

One of our favorites, Scott Chong, had his first match this weekend. I’m assuming it’s the Maryland Championship Wrestling show in Washington, DC, but I’m not 100% sure on that. I’ll find out for sure when I finish my exclusive interview with him later this week, where he will discuss what his first match was like, his feelings on the others in the house, and some information on things we DIDN’T see on the show. Keep that dial tuned to RealityNewsOnline, for this and other TE3 interviews!

In other news, Tough Enough 2 contestant Hawk appeared on the syndicated reality dating show, The Fifth Wheel, earlier this week. To paraphrase Dale Sherman, Tough Enough is doing a great job of training these kids for a future… in reality shows.
