That makes it.... better, I guess?

At least people might actually bother to watch it. I still think bringing it back is stupid, though.

Well, so far so good.

[Snowman]

GREAT NEWS

[Marvelously Mediocre]

NICE!

Wonder how much cash they threw at him for that.

[Bang Bang Bart]

That's fantastic.

[Beartato]

Tough Enough just got watchable.

[jadison]

Well thatr's good news, hopefully that means he's interacting with the trainees instead of just doing studio segments to introduce the show and whatnot. Stone Cold's a big name, it will definitely help more than hurt the show.

interesting....I was thinking they'd send a couple of low carders to mentor like say Yoshi

[kodiak]

If they let Stone Cold teach 'em how to talk and help teach 'em how to work, they might have something worthwhile.

If they go with the FCW formula - well, at least Stone Cold will be there.

I think bringing in Austin to host Tough Enough should be a definate positive for the show because of the name value he brings to the show. That's likely going to give the casual WWE fan a reason to watch. It'll be interesting to see what his hosting role is going to have him do.

So is he gonna be the Al Snow? Is "Host" different than head trainer?

I've been hearing William Regal is in the running to be a mentor. YES.

If they use wrestlers from the indys who have paid some dues I'll be all for it.

[Andrew is Good]

Well, if they were doing it like before, where it was pretty shoot based, he'd be an interesting choice. These guys might be living in a mansion, and Austin used to eat raw potatoes to live while he worked in Memphis. He was also trained old school back in Texas with WCCW, and of course, was a major draw for such a long time.

If you have Austin, Michaels*, Regal, and Finlay* as mentors/trainers, this can be something special for both the wrestlers involved, and the fans watching at home.

*I thought I heard that TE is a possibility for Michaels when he signed his new contract with WWE, and Finlay just makes sense.

Or Chavo Guerrero.
