Life after WWE: Catching up with 10 Superstars released in 2016

#6 ZZ Loupe

ZZ seems to be doing well at Wildkat Sports and Entertainment.

With the conclusion of Tough Enough, WWE officials really had no interest in signing ZZ. He was not very athletic and seemed to have trouble with the slightest of physical activities. However, the fans of the show and the WWE Universe embraced ZZ, making him by far, the favourite of the show.

ZZ made it all the way to the finals but did not come out as the winner. However, he was still given a developmental contract. This was due to the massive response from the viewers.

NXT coaches and trainers worked extensively with ZZ, hoping to get him in proper shape to where he could sustain the physical demands of even working a single match. Unfortunately, they felt ZZ did not improve quickly enough and lacked the discipline needed to drop the weight he so badly needed to lose.

ZZ was let go in July, at which time he returned home to his rural Southeast Louisiana town of Bayou Bluff. In October, ZZ started training with Wildkat Sports & Entertainment, which happens to be one of the Pelican States top indie promotions.

In fact, there have been some very positive reviews for ZZ since arriving at Wildkat and they say they're happy with his progress thus far.
