Dolph Ziggler doesn't belong in a ring with Stone Cold.

Talk about a waste of a comeback.

Simply naming guys that are in need of the extra umph.


Who would you suggest MR. I don't watch wrestling?

Enjoyed the original tough enough even if I question how much it benefited WWF in the long term, didn't catch the comeback run.

Austin is always good value in interview very honest, but fair too.

Am with the likes of Dale and Gimmick, if Punk/Austin happens then it should be good, if not no big loss.

As far as the TE statement. Meh we got even less out of this Tough Enough than the original so...

WM30 shit or get off the pot. If it's happening it needs to be 30. Does he need it? No. Does WWE need it? Arguable. But using top talent from Ten years ago to put over Cena and Punk isn't helping the WWE as a whole. It's guys like Ziggler, Sheamus, Axel that really need the rub.

Still need to do @Troy and I's Survivor series match that'll put over todays talent the best.

We need to eventually create an incredibly detailed blueprint for how that storyline should be set up, how the match should go and what the outcome should be. Possibly a giant column?

With Tough Enough I honestly don't think that it should be judged by how many of the competitors become regular WWE guys. It is a show that is cheap to run and allows WWE to tap into a slightly different market whilst appealing to the hardcore wrestling fans. It is an entertaining show and it wouldn't be hard to make money from that concept as it wouldn't be expensive to execute.

The horse is fucking dead dammit! Let it rest in peace! They do this all the time, especially Austin and I don't think my heart can take this anymore.

Sure, there is also the Jim Cornette argument against it that it gives the impression than you can become a ready made wrestler after just six weeks which is one of the flaws with most shows like that, still TE was one of the better ones.

I don't really see how it gives that impression. Pretty much all the people selected for Tough Enough have had some wrestling training and when they win it isn't like they are thrown into a main roster feud right away. WWE also send them down to developmental to get more training before they are elevated. I think that TE gives a nice insight of what they have to go through just to earn a spot as a rookie in WWE.
