Outlook - The Tough Enough series has done a decent job at exposing some new characters to fans, but the flaw is they aren't getting people they can immediately use, but someone whose star power will have faded by the time they become a regular. Matt Cappotelli is one such quasi-star. He was a good athlete and a nice guy who worked hard and showed some color. He had a natural feud with Bob Holly, but Cappotelli seemed too small to become much of a star in the WWE. The cruiserweight division is not pushed strong and the stars in it are typically the top workers in the company, so it seems his potential is greatly limited. OVW has pushed him strong and tried to protect him and pair him with a good partner and strong opponents, but the WWE will give him no such benefits. Cappotelli has a natural charisma and has improved greatly, so hopefully the WWE environment is one he can thrive in or he could be cut quickly.
