Re: Air date for Tough Enough

There were reports that said Alicia's little sister was released quietly, but I guess she was just transitioned

Re: Air date for Tough Enough

The blonde contestant shown during the Tough Enough trailer that aired during Raw is Juliet The Huntress, a 22-year-old independent wrestler of Puerto Rican descent based out of Chicago, Illinois.

Juliet began her wrestling career in Puerto Rico in 2005, joining World Wrestling Council (WWC) during her rookie year. She later transferred to the International Wrestling Association (IWA), which is owned by former WWE Superstar Savio Vega. After gaining experience in the Caribbean, she headed to the United States in 2008 and has been competing on the Chicago independent circuit ever since.

Update on the premise of the show

PW Torch -- According to sources within WWE, the revival of Tough Enough is being labeled as a reality television show about individuals who want to become WWE Superstars rather than a reality show about professional wrestling. People within WWE who were against the original premise of the show because they felt it exposed the industry are in favor of it being character driven.

Being worried about exposing Kayfabe is something that has already happened so don't get why there was any worry over that.

Kayfabe has been dead since 1998

Incorrect. Ready To Rumble killed it 4 months before that happened.

We may as well rename this and leave it here until the show starts. Then this can be moved with the rest of the weekly shows.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will make a guest appearance on the upcoming season of Tough Enough, reports EW.com.

In the episode, the multi-time champion works out with the contestants, judges a challenge and demonstrates his own skills in the squared circle.

Rock, Austin, Booker, and Trish all on one show =D

Miss USA Rima Fakih recently spoke with The New York Post and talked about being on WWE Tough Enough. Here's what she had to say about the show's training:

"I was bruised up a lot," she says. "There would be times I would leave the ring and there would be a lot of blood on the mat. There was a lot of wear and tear on my body, but I loved every bruise and black and blue mark because I could see how hard I pushed myself."

Nice to she had a good attitude. From the conflicting reports I've seen she was either eliminated or the winner wasn't decided yet to not spoil the outcome
