Heenan was on point during the 92 rumble. Him and flair were great together

Hopefully they go back to having it before Raw so we can return to 2 hour shows.
That would mean letting him out of his cage though... We don't need that...
Oh, so it will suck.

Vince: "I don't know how, it's nothing but wrestling! Where's the drama and reality television parts that will give us cross-over appeal? START UP A NEW TOUGH ENOUGH, I'LL SHOW THEM REAL SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT DEVELOPMENT DAMNIT!"

Undertaker won the title from Hogan at Survivor Series '91 thanks to help from Ric Flair. So WWF President Jack Tunney signed a rematch 6 days later at Tuesday in Texas. Tunney was going to be at ringside to make sure it was a clean match. Flair came down and got in Tunney's face. Hogan hit Flair with a chair and Flair fell on top of Tunney, knocking him out (the only time Tunney was ever physically touched on TV). While Tunney was down and the ref was distracted, Hogan grabbed the urn from Paul Bearer, OPENED IT, and threw the ashes all over Taker's face, and rolled him up to win back the title.
Tunney was sick of everyone's bullshit. He immediately vacated the title and put it up for grabs in the '92 Rumble. The former WWF Champs in the rumble (Hogan, Taker, Macho Man, and Sgt. Slaughter) all got to pick numbers between just 20-30.

Let's not understate his role as a humorous jobber, you can throw him into a segment, watch him make an arse of himself and then get wrecked while also often selling in an entertaining fashion. Really he's like that guy you love to see get one-upped because he plays the part well, maybe WWE see him handy in that way.
I swear it never seems to end well for the winners of that show, no idea why they keep trying to make it a thing.
Probably will not even by the regular NXT guys, but the guys and girls who haven't appeared on the NXT TV show yet. They have loads of them down there, including some promising ones that are nontheless rookies and would fit in to a Tough Enough thing.
Like I don't think Kevin Owens is going to be on the show.

SILENT RAGE
So, I just fired someone for the first time. Was in the company for less than 3 months, so it was as easy as it could have been, but still a challenge. Gave her general details why we wouldn't be able to retain her services, and she wanted detailed information on what she did. So I gave her 4-5 reasons why she's not a good fit.
Thought about saying "Best of luck in your future endeavors" but was able to control myself.

Welcome to the club. Firing people is great when they've done big things wrong.

I'd like to see this iteration be a bunch of people trying to get far enough but lose on purpose.

I'd like to see him do a run for the US belt or something at some point. But yeah, you're probably right. I really enjoyed the squash matches he had with veterans a couple of years ago. That was legitimately fun to watch every week.

Did you tell her she should thank John Cena?
What do you mean? I can never forget what's his name.

Silent Rage.
I don't think that's his name. I'm still thinking about it.
Oh yeah, I remember. It was Silent Rage. *pats self on back*
I don't think I could have passed up the chance

siiiiiiiilent raaaaaaaage, siiiiiiiiiilent raaaaaaaaage
Who can forget Maven and his dropkick:
Maven was the shit, awesome theme and the only good winner
Let's look at the winners:
Tough Enough 1:
Maven - Had a few notable moments, never went past the midcard.
Nidia, valet for Jamie Noble, nothing of note otherwise.
Tough Enough 2:
Jackie Gayda, had one of the worst matches of all time, later a valet for Rico and Charlie Haas.
Linda/Shaniqua, valet for the Bashams, for a short time.
Tough Enough 3:
John Morrison, after forty two name changes, went on to be very successful with a lot of title reigns and feuds. Never managed to get to the main event, but a pretty good career in WWE all the same.
Matt, career derailed by a brain tumor, never wrestled for WWE in the end.
Tough Enough 4:
Daniel Puder, tried to shoot on Kurt Angle, paid for it when Benoit, Eddie and Hardcore Holly ganged up on him in the Royal Rumble to haze the shit out of him. Gone soon after.
Tough Enough 5:
Quiet Anger. Took a stunner, sent back to developmental, released for being shit.
So, uh, one successful career from among the winners.

According to OSW review, Vince reportedly hated that promo. Probably cause it was so face-like, but god damn man.

I'm pretty jealous of your avatar, Duncan.
Also, no one watches Tough Enough to see a star of tomorrow. They watch it to see the stars of today and yesterday bully nobodies.

Nidia and Noble together was fantastic, and of course, Johnny Nitro.
I liked Maven, especially after the random heel turn, but I'd take those 2 any day of the week.

Ahem Cameron was in S5 and has a successful career!
She didn't win though
And Miz was in season 4 and won the WWE title. I was only looking at the winners. If I recall Cameron was gone by the second episode for sucking so much. So naturally she is the only one from that season that made it to RAW.
i hope michael bay remakes robocop
