Mada Abdelhamid ‘Shocked’ By WWE Tough Enough Elimination

Mada Abdelhamid spoke with AfterBuzzTV about his elimination from Tough Enough and more. Check out the highlights:

On his elimination: “To be honest I’m in just as much shock as you are I have no idea what happened. I didn’t expect to be going home this early I truly believe that I was going to go all the way to the end and win this thing and I was just in shock last night that I was even in the bottom three and to go home like that was definitely disappointing. But I have my head held high and I know I have a very bright future and I love the WWE, I have a great passion for it and I’m going to work hard to get back to where I was and hopefully one day make all my dreams come true.”

On ZZ constantly surviving elimination: “He’s more of like the average guy, he’s more attainable. They see themselves in him maybe but for one reason or another they love ZZ and he does have that fanbase. I just hope that he starts working a little bit harder for all those fans.”

On potentially being away from his family for 300 days a year: “I would’ve never even come to Tough Enough if I didn’t think I was ready to make that sacrifice. Everything in life comes with a sacrifice. I left home, I grew up in New Zealand, I left New Zealand at 18 years old and went to play college basketball. From 18 to 25 I was living out of a suitcase. I went to three different colleges. I went to play professional overseas and go from country to country so I’m used to being on the road. Now it’s a little bit tougher cause I have a baby I’m gonna miss a lot of firsts but I’m willing to make that sacrifice cause at the end of the day I’m doing it for him and I can’t wait for him to see me on tv one day and say that’s my daddy out there.”
