In 2011, after 7 years from the failure of the original Tough Enough, The WWE had the itch again, they wanted to run it back and attempt to bring back their reality TV show to a whole new generation of fans. It made sense, the company was in a much different headspace in the 2010s, they felt they learned from their mistakes from the first run and now it was their time to shine.. Spoiler alert. It was not! but that's why we are here, to take a look back at The Failure of the WWE Tough Enough REBOOT!
Enjoy!

Ariana had the greatest quote in wrestling history, “Melina and Alicia Fox.” 😂😂😂
that will never not be funny.
What a banger match!! 🔥 🔥 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'd forgotten about that.
Dave Meltzer probably gave that match 5 stars.
Ppfffffftt hahaha 😆 😂 🤣 that hurt my ribs, hearing that
I never understood Matt Cross’s 2nd round elimination. He was legitimately the most athletic person on the show
Welp he’s wrestling to this day and he’s great
They probably saw him as 'too indy'.
Son Of Havoc
yeah the dude was talented.
I think the reason he was eliminated because he pissed Stone Cold off during the bottom three elimination deliberation. Matt asked for permission to speak and Steve got mad because if Matt wanted to be a WWE superstar then he wouldn’t be asking for permission to speak or play it safe during practice. Stone Cold stated that if he waited to be next in line or didn’t speak up then he never would have gotten to where he did in his career. The other judges thought he was too quiet in the ring and didn’t have much star potential, but I think if he didn’t ask to speak then he wouldn’t have been eliminated that week.
Ariane is one of the best examples of working towards something will get you there. Literally went from first eliminated to being in WWE for 6 years and being in AEW
It just shows Vince loves to troll arianne was a terrible wrestler and earned nothing
@@secoTheSonicFan not really since she learn from mistakes and regrets
Meh
I mean she made it to wwe because she was hot.
@@mattemattics5667 literally the only reason any women w/ no experience get signed to that company.
Rest in heaven peacefully Sara Lee 😔
How?

that's sad man
And she was 30 😣
God rest her soul. 🙏
RIP Sara Lee tho 😔
Yea she was the best
Who
I rmeber being pissed Mandy didn't win but now I feel bad
The things that pissed me off more is that she was 30 YEARS OLD, a Young Death?! nah fuck live

The 2011 version of Tough Enough aired at the same time that the original NXT was on and using actual wrestlers from their FCW promotion. At least what came from that was the biggest "What If" in WWE history in The Nexus. I remember watching almost every episode and my overall memory was of Booker T being the softest judge out of all 3 and his harshest moment was when he helped pick a guy up during training and scaring him by saying "Don't take my kindness for weakness" Too late for that, suckaaaaaaaaa!
To be fair only a few of them would reached world title status. Which Bryan did.
tough enough came back one more time but hosted by chris jericho with judges hulk hogan the miz & paige & daniel bryan with trainers lita booker t & billy gunn
Skid Marks!

On God. 2011 tough enough was bloody hilarious.😂 They actually gave Ariane a contract on top of that.😂
I could have done better then those people their 😅
@@trewilliams8411 Erik gave me rib injuries.😂 I could work the ropes better than him.
I think it's for the best MJF wasn't on tough enough, he may go to WWE one day, but his early grinding and time on AEW is what made him show off his stuff.
exactly.
Gonna make a great story when he goes. "I wasn't good enough for you guys, now you guys are lucky to be good enough for me"
Him going to WWE wound be career suicide
@@TERRELLTURNER1999 🤡
@@theitfactorjameswheezer2852 whoa..... big brain response. truly debunks what I said. :|
Fun Fact: AJ from Tough Enough is actually the voice of Buzz (your created wrestler) in WWE 2k19’s MyCareer and even used his voice for Buzz’s cameos in WWE 2k20’s MyCareer
In theory Tough Enough should've been really easy to run just get say 12 rookie wrestlers & a few decent names. Just avoid any humiliating moments for the contestants & let the viewers vote but with limitations
He couldn’t even say “What” he was so dumbfounded 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"What is wrong with this company??" Needs to be the WWE's tagline
I actually left a comment on MJF's audition. I said he was a natural heel and needed to be signed to a developmental contract. I called it.
Nice one man

Wow. Great story, bro.
@@Ted_Sheckler Thanks. Let me tell you about this one time in band camp.
@@napalmblazikenNOO
Stone Cold: What’s your favorite match
Cameron: Melina vs Alica Fox
Steve: *w h o?*
Great match tho
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shoulda just said Austin vs Rock for some brownie points 🤣
when you look at the past 2 seasons of tough enough, its clear as day, vince is really the one whos been calling the shots. take a moment to look at the past 2 male winners. Tall, long hair, beard, muscular, vince mcmahon has been looking for a "roman reigns" dominant type of superstar for quite some time and its pretty intriguing to see.
Vince McMahon spent years trying to make Roman Reigns a carbon copy of John Cena and then he wanted to make a carbon copy of Roman Reigns, this man is insane.
More of a "Prime Hulk Hogan" type. (AKA Hogan before he went bald).
Pretty obvious they followed the American Idol format of re-hire & push the losers on TV and let the “winners” sink or swim! It’s the old talent vetting process!

WWE from 2011-2015 is truly the dark ages.
Fax!!!
LMFAOOOO Stone Cold’s face says it all, poor guy was probably wishing Triple H would just come and beat the shit out of him with a pipe again like it’s 2001😂.
💀
I was kinda disappointed in the 2011 one when AJ got eliminated along with Alicia Fox’s sister (which they never acknowledge btw) bc he just cut an amazing promo on Bill DeMott right in front of The Rock, who was a guest that episode, but was told by Austin that wasn’t enough
Man it feels good when you upload. Someone almost the same age as me who can share the passion of wrestling is so cool
This just makes me want a retrospective on game show NXT or the Diva Search.
Brian Zane from Wrestling with Wregret did a review of the first televised Diva Search if you wanna check it out.
I remembered watching 2015 as a kid, it was the first time I was introduced to the show. I really wanted ZZ to win and it was pretty inspiring (at the time); but I am disappointed that the winners once again flopped. I go back to the season here and there for nostalgia, and it’s cool that we got Sonya & Mandy from it🤷♂️
7:06 that reaction austin give is pure gem
The Miz is the most successful and has lasted the longest out of all the constants but Ryback and John Morrison also gathered a few titles and fans while in the WWE. John Morrison won Tough Enough season 3 and Ryback was in the same season as The Miz although he was eliminated by the fans, but still somewhat popular wrestlers with a fan base. The show just proves that it doesn’t matter if you win or not since a lot the winners aren’t very successful and leave after a year or you never see them again after the show is over.
That's basically why I never watch Tough Enough.
Billy Gunn’s “at what!?” Killed me 🤣🤣
I don’t understand why he had a problem with Melina vs Alicia fox. If that’s the match that inspired her why does it bother him ?
How much of a fan she really was out of all the history of wrestling?
The right answer is the rock vs Steve austin wrestle mania x-seven
Mike Mizanin may have never won the Tough Enough but he became one of the biggest stars in the WWE.
So, Mike Mizanin is the most successful Tough Enough contestant and I think the other dude who joined Tough Enough that managed to score some semblance of success is John Hennigan.
The most successful is maven eliminating the undertaker is the most legendary moment
@@pleaseshutup7053 what about these other Tough Enough participants
Josh Mathews- pro wrestling announcer
Nidia- Jamie Noble’s girl
Linda Miles- the Basham Brothers’ manager
Chris Nowinski- Harvard graduate
Melina- former MNM valet and Women’s champion
Jackie Gayda- she wrestled in that crappy match also featuring Trish Stratus and JBL
Nick Mitchell- former tag team champ along former Spirit Squad buddies Kenny Dykstra and Nicky aka Dolph Ziggler
Daniel Puder- he nearly punked out Kurt Angle on live TV
Ryan Reeves- a one time main event player who happened to be a Goldberg knockoff and got eternally slated on CM Punk’s bad side
Matt Morgan- he got decent success in TNA
@@michaelbandada9887 none of them eliminated the undertaker from the royal rumble
The Miz & Mandy Rose are the only 2 tough enough contestants to win a world title
didn't john morrison win one too or was it only the ic title?
@@JKM006 He won the ECW title, but the WWE doesn't count that as an official World Title I'm context of Grand Slam Triple Crown status, but yes he would technically count also
17:09.........well this aged well
He didn't know
Ariane Kept Her Word Tho 😂 Wonder What The Judges Reaction Was When They Would See Her Backstage
She actually did an interview with Austin on his podcast couple months after she was released from WWE. Let’s just say it’s hard to listen to and you feel bad for Austin at times that he has to sit through it
@@toddrickfrancis8860 It's not hard at all, you just don't like; therefore, you're going to be bias.
No one besides wrestling fans care about her response since Stone Cold apologized for his response and both, Alicia Fox and Melina, are well respected in the business and are talented at that. But yes, let's continue to shame a black woman for gaining interest in wrestling by seeing another black woman( and the only one at the time) compete.
First off, im a black person, so I don’t see how race has anything to do with this. Second, the thing that really threw me off in the interview was when she started crying and Austin had to give her a tissue. Considering the last time I saw her cry was the Tough Enough episode and it seemed just as disingenuous like she was trying to make people feel sorry for her. Thirdly, the only reason people rag on her about the match is bc she’s participating in a competition to determine the next WWE Superstar, and when asked about her favorite match, she says a random match probably nobody even remembers that I’m sure since it was 2010-2011 lasted only 5 minutes.
@@j.4867 you're right about there being a bias. I don't think it's in relation to race though. At least for most people. At that time it was absolutely seen as absurd that anyone would get inspired by a woman's wrestler who wasn't Trish Stratus, Lita, Chyna, and a few others. The truth is it really shouldn't matter what inspires anyone to pursue a career in wrestling. People have their favorites and that shouldn't be an arguing point. Austin was completely wrong for that display of gate-keeping and although he apologized the damage was done. Up to now people still shame her for taking an interest in wrestling because of that match.
Anytime Wrestlin gifs uploads,its a good day
Bruh props to Ariane she actually proved stone cold wrong
Not really 🤣 she was garbage.
Nah
Sort of…
She didn't accomplish much in the time she was with WWE. Stone Cold was right.
How? She accomplished nothing and was only there to be eye candy.
I actually really liked 2015 tough enough. I definitely feel like they had the wrong winner on the women’s side. It’s really crazy that they didn’t do more with the man that one the season because he is actually what you think Vince would like. Rest In Peace Sara Lee
I notice that anytime WWE holds these types of competitions, the winner always ends up being released. The runner-ups or the other contestants have more success than the winners.
Stone Cold must've eliminated Cameron because her favorite match was Alica Fox vs Melina and he probably went what
This is basically wwe total drama island
Pav we missed your videos please post more often): I binged watch a whole night and even go back you connect to us very much
If anything, Ariana kept to her word and showed she wanted this bad enough
Hindsight is 20/20 sure but gotta respect the results on that ♡
"Underwear changed my life"
- Pav 2022
Nah the fact that Cameron called it is So damn funny
I’d love to see an updated Tough Enough with better writing to be honest. It has potential it just needs proper writing and that writing to translate over to being on the WWE or NXT roster
rip sara lee
Don't forget Cameron's return at the 2022 Royal Rumble!
Just stumbled upon this video after I heard about the death of Sara Lee!
You mean the only successes out of Tough Enough are the ones that WEREN'T hand picked by the company.
Wow, its almost as if thats how every WWE superstar becomes huge.
Rock was handpicked.
Remember when Stone Cold asked Ariane what was her favorite match? 😄 And she ended up being one of the Funkadactals with Tyrus. Life is strange.
I honestly think if they brought Tough Enough back under Triple H’s mind. It would be something to watch. And I’m also now curious about the total divas video, because the moment that was ruined was when Nikki became an executive producer and gave everyone except her and Brie a total of about 5 minutes. Then gave themselves a spin-off because they didn’t have enough screen time on total divas
The Diva Search was more beneficial than Tough Enough
The diva search was great
Oh really?!?😎😤
@@pleaseshutup7053 - 😴🙄🤔
That "but" on butt sync at 5:36 had me dying 😂😂😂😂😂
Man this brings so much nostalgia I was a teenager around this time like 13 or 14 and I remember seeing Sonya Mandy rose velveteen dream man is the most shocking he was so freaking good in the ring he was so talented that sucks
I love Cameron! She ended up becoming a decent wrestler, extremely charismatic, showing real love to the business and finding success.
Nidia is another great example of a great winner of the show.
pav killing it with another video.
I was largly out of wrasslin by that point. thanks for the refresher.
They eliminated Matt because he showed no character or charisma. Due could do all of those moves but it was on him for not showing it when he had the chance. Which is why Austin asked him all of those questions. He’s just another workrate jobber with no character, even Trish was like “I got nothing with him he’s bland”
Great video man, I am glad you are back, This video was hilarious as always Pav!
17:40 AT WHAT
Cameron shows that practice makes perfect is a real thing.
I hear Big Pun in the background! Good taste in music
I remember sending an audition in for the first tough enough. I got rejected though but hey
RIP Sara🙏🏾
Loved every minute of it, keep up the good work pav.
Ngl, I was rooting for ZZ to win the 2015 Tough Enough, mostly bc he was from Louisiana just like me and I liked his personality so much. I was cheering him on every time he was up for elimination, while my friends would cheer for Patrick and Tanner and Mada wondering what was wrong with me. I still believe if he trained a little more and was in better shape, he would’ve been decent.
Patrick… oh what could’ve been…
Just a liner note on the Austin “Who?” moment , he apparently years later went back and watched that match and said it wasn’t that bad .
WrestlinGifs room tours would be ELITE
The reason why 8:47 she made it to WWE passed tough enough was because she was already signed to an FCW contract it she was already technically employed by the WWE however was still being trained. They put her in the tough enough context hoping that she would learn something it would possibly win but obviously that didn’t happen.
Me and my best friend still use that to this day to people…We’d be hanging out and people would talk about wrestling and whenever history came up and what our favorite matches were we would always be dead ass about it and say Melina vs Alicia Fox😂😂
Glad to see you back, Pav. Your content truly is and forever will be the best. I honestly forgot about this reboot😂
But that’s why I love your content, you truly learn something new everyday alongside getting nostalgic. Keep up the great work, homie.😊
I actually remember watching, wanted Veleteen to win and was disappointed when he was eliminated. I was happy when I find out he was coming to WWE and I really loved watching him. Too bad he turned out to be a creep
Hey Pav! Thanks for dropping banger content!! Also, with regards to Daniel Puder, he actually walked away with $250,000, a quarter of the prize money. Talk about false advertising.
Man that first contestant just *did not let that shit go,* and it actually ended up working out for her. Respect 👍🏾
The best part of the video is when Vince slapped the guy and Stone Cold stuns him and just yells "YOU SON OF B***!!!". That part kills me.
Also the part where says about the guy running "I thought he was about to fall over and I die, I haven't been so concerned of anyone running in my life"
And also the guy who tried so hard running his tooth fell out
This video in general was funny.
All the reboot proved was how meaningless Tough Enough always was. UFC has the Ultimate Fighter and some of the biggest names of today won the whole thing. Anyone who has ever won Tough Enough was either let go with in a few years or never debuted. Only the losers have ever made it in the WWE.
Ultimate fighter literally spawned because of tough enough lol in fact tuf saved the ufc
I need that stone cold "who" as a reaction gif I can't find it on RUclips it's gold
IDK if you knew but Sara Lee passed away yesterday.
He posted this before she passed
@@Miguel03749 yeah I know. I'm just wondering if he knows now or if he ever did?
@@theworstchannelyouhaveever9573 seriously dude
I must admit I dunno why but u starting a video with underpants on your shoulders just killed me already. I am laughing so hard 😂 but bro i hope u get some good money money yeah yeah that money money yeah yeah from that sponsor. Your vids a quality
Damn... I guess Cameron convinced Vince on a private audition
Or maybe she went thru fcw? Common sense?
Ariana was one of the most successful people out of the bunch. She was tag team champ with naomi and joined brodus clay
I normally wouldnt click on a video with this title but ik pav gone make it interest me more
Lovin these videos man keep them comin
Fun fact…josh is actually back with the WWE and is one half of the former nxt uk tag team champions
That's not the same guy lol. That's Josh Briggs.
9:38 Kennel from hell moment
Pepper would be proud
Rip Sarah :(
Love your videos , HATE the Ariane slander in the first half 😂😂
Next do the history of diva search winners and big failed
5:37 i am telling ur wife steve had me 😂😂😂
that mjf promo is better than many promos from a fighter with many years of experience.
It's fucking crazy 😂🔥
I remember her saying Melina va Alica 😂 almost died Melina was great tho
I've always felt that when NXT initially started it was like tough enough in itself but done right. I actually enjoyed season 5 and watching Steve Austin grilling the bottom 3 in every episode. He was like the Gordan Ramsey of Wrestling LOL. I also enjoyed seeing the cameos like Brett Hart and The Rock. Fun Fact AJ Kirsch want on to become Buzz from WWE 2K19. One of the best factitious wrestlers of all time.
I watched the first episode of the Tough Enough reboot, and Stone Cold unquestionably showed the contestants tough love. He wanted them all to succeed, but he was strictly no nonsense, and told it how it was. If someone was performing poorly, he would tell them. I still remember one moment where he was having a one on one with one of the contestants, who was struggling, and she was getting a little weepy, and Stone Cold simply said "Tears won't help you here," and at another point told her "You want to know how many times I said 'please' or 'I'm sorry' to Vince McMahon? None."
5:08 oh god
I waited this video for so long,thanks bro
In a world where we now have Nxt and wwe’s developmental thing. There’s no need for tough enough now.
I remember being an ultimate simp for that Rima girl on Tough Enough 2011 back in high school though. LMAO
Ivelisse was on Tough Enough?!?! 😮
Joshua Bredl is actually in MMA now lol
2011 Tough Enough is basically just a Lucha Underground prequel
He finally posted
This is like a wrestling version of hell kitchen. 😂😂
Tough Emough was on the air before Hell's Kitchen. Stone Cold is basically Gordon Ramsay cause he yells at the contestants a lot. But they shouldn't bring it back cause being a WWE superstar or a wrestler in general ain't crack up like supposed to be.
@@larrymarshall8900 not the original tough enough. I mean the reboot is like hell's kitchen where stone cold and the crew are ruthless to the contestants and 3 nominees while they had to fight for their position in the competition.
@@AWF1000interesting that the reboot used that formula
The big guy who couldn't run the ropes was Eric Watts. He had been wrestling for THREE YEARS before Tough Enough. He was paid to wrestle 57 times before this appearance.
