Actually next season would be season 6
Season 1-3 Aired on MTV
Season 4 aired as segments on SMACKDOWN back in 2004
As of 2011, the only Tough Enough winner still wrestling for WWE is John Hennigan, who currently wrestles as John Morrison on the Raw brand.

At least Maven has a steady paycheck on HSN.

As to WWE (Vince) not having too much control over the show, I'm actually fine with that, granted that means whoever wins will be treated like ####, but Tough Enough will actually be a better product if they keep them out of the loop.

I dotn mean control over the show...I mean control over who even gets on..I mean there is a few who should never even made it on but becasue of their picks, Lets face it the girl who got cut first, Rima, Michelle and a couple of the guys clearly have no place there. At least the WWE should have half the picks. Of course then looking back at some of the people who made it previously who knows. Still to this day dotn know what they hell they were thinking picking Linda and Jackie as TE2 winners...That was how bad that cast was (except Matt Morgan who got injured)


I know that but USA dont count it that way lol, despite acknowlding the Miz

Well the girl that got cut first got a developmental deal, so WWE must have liked something about her, and I'm pretty sure Vince would have added Rima in a heartbeat if the opportunity presented itself and the tall chick has had experience on a Reality show and it showed as she was rather compelling in her role. The fact is that they aren't putting together a wrestling program, they're doing a reality TV show so its not as if everyone needs to be a believable superstar, besides the real star of the show is SCSA.

That's what they want you to think in reality Vince has total control from what color the women's hair should be too the order in which every person on the series is going to get eliminated. WHOOPS, did I just say the show is rigged YOU BET I DID.


On a sad note I miss Johnathan Coachman his WWE carrier died to soon. Although I think bringing him back as the person responsible for make Michael Cole such a colossal D0UCHE might actually be a good angle.

And Melina issues notwithstanding, he's the best success story of any former winner of Tough Enough.

Then there's the runner-ups. A former one of those folks is currently the WWE Champion, and another is a part of varying broadcast teams.

Don't forget that even that The Miz didn't win Tough Enough that he took part in 2004 he is still wrestling for WWE unlike winner of that Tough Enough Daniel Puder. Thats makes The Miz in my eyes real winner of that Tough Enough season.

Miz has the most aptitude for the business, IMO. Dude just knows how to be a heel.

Just looked at the cast and Ryan Howe reminds me a bit of Chris Jericho

Yeah Puder was a jerk who did not respect the business and only wanted to use it to further his MMA career. You dont try and take out 2 of the companies biggest stars by shooting on them. He only won because people like the whole "real" athlete appeal

Puder should be thanking the ropes everyday for making him look good.

I was slightly surprised that Rima didn't make it, considering the built-in marketability of being Miss USA and being that she was the hot one.

Also, is this really a Stone Cold Rick Roll?

I am somewhat bummed that Rima was eliminated. She was definitely easier on the eyes than the other female contestants.

I was surprised Rima got cut, at least this early anyways. I could have seen her making it to the final few episodes before cutting her in a swerve, but episode four?

Eh, I think most folks still expect her to make her way into the company. Too big of a get to let go so easily.

I expected her to make it to the last three at least. Her beauty made the show a lot more watchable...
