Not the big break Capotelli was expecting
By David Agostino
August 1, 2005

“This sucks,” Matt Capotelli recently told WWE.com. “It’s like I went from my highest peak to my lowest valley in one night. I was getting ready to have a huge impact with WWE, and now this happens.”

Capotelli, who most insiders believed was on the verge of making a big impact with WWE, was on the wrong end of suplex when his ankle gave out on the landing.

“It was just a freak thing,” Capotelli told WWE.com. “It was a combination of where I landed and how the ring gave in. I knew right away, my fibula just snapped.”

Capotelli said doctors have told him it will be close to eight weeks before he can return to the ring.

Still, Capotelli, a winner of Tough Enough III, only expects this injury to slow him down, not stop him.
“Something like this makes you look deep within yourself,” Capotelli said. “I’m not going to dwell on the negative. I’m going to let this adversity fuel my heart and my drive. I have eight weeks to be better than I was before. Nobody is gong to pass me by, and when I come back I’m going to jump in right where I left off. This is jump a bump in the road.”

I feel sorry for the guy because what i saw of Tough Enough he was pretty good and i hear he was doin well as a Tag team in OVW.
Looking forward to his debut when he gets round to it.

He did have good potential but that only means the WWE will waste it

They were offering him some role in the business side of the company last year but i didn't hear anything else about it. Shame really he was the most talented out the lot of the Tough Enough bunch.

Is Nowinski still in WWE? I know he had a serious head injury and was advised to quit wrestling but I don't know if he has or not?

I think the original series' the winners deserved it, but the last one was poor because the trainers didnt control who was cut

Wonder if any winners will be around in a few years time?

It's about sodding time Matt came in. Wasn't Tough Enough 3 about two years ago?

I hate those type of matches...they restrict the future decisions that could be made. Why dont they just split them up a different way and then there is an oppertunity for them to get back together again if the singles lark doesnt work out.

But if he wants them back together he'll compete in a "get the tag team back together match"

Was being the operative word. The Thrillseekers recently lost a 'losing team must split up forever' Tag Match. Vince wants Jeter as a singles star you see...
