Last year’s Tough Enough competition created a lot of developmental talent for the company, but no one else has been featured like former competitor Amanda Saccomanno.
She’s been given the persona of Mandy Rose and has been gifted a role on Total Divas every week to showcase her development through WWE’s Performance Center.
Not everyone was pleased about Mandy being pushed so quickly on WWE programming and WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley was one of those people.
However, the Hardcore Legend posted an apology to her on his Facebook recently after learning of his mistake.
You can read the full post from Foley right here. Below is a highlight of what he said:
“AN APOLOGY TO AMANDA
Several months ago, I was pretty tough on Amanda, based on a comment she made during the finale of WWE’s Tough Enough. I was tough on her in a tweet I sent out that night, and even tougher in a Facebook post I sent out the next day.A few months later, I met Chelsea Green, another Tough Enough contestant, at the Minneapolis airport, en-route to Saskatchewan, Canada, where we would both be appearing in the motion picture ?#?Chokeslam?. I was surprised when Chelsea received a text message from Amanda – since they hadn’t exactly come off as buddies on the show – and even more surprised when Chelsea told me that Amanda was actually a nice young lady who she considered a friend.”
What do you think of Mandy Rose? Do you think she has potential to be a great WWE Diva?
