WWF Tough Enough, Episode 9: The Last of the Dead Weight, by Mike ‘Big Fred Machine’ DeGeorge: We know someone will quit in this episode. Is it Little Chris, who just doesn't seem to be getting the hang of it? Is it Maven, whose Mom's bone cancer is getting worse? Or is it Josh, who is really getting homesick after his girlfriend visited last week? OK, so it's not much of a mystery, but Mick Foley came to visit!

WWF Tough Enough: Al Snow, by Mike ‘Big Fred Machine’ DeGeorge: Al Snow is one of the stranger wrestlers – that's saying something. He carries around a manequin's head that tells him what to do. Wonder how that will play out while he's one of the trainers for WWF Tough Enough.

WWF Tough Enough: Tazz, by Mike ‘Big Fred Machine’ DeGeorge: Tazz has quite an attitude, which could easily be taken out on the contestants of WWF Tough Enough, where he will be one of the trainers.
