10 Most Cringeworthy WWE Tough Enough Moments Ever

10. Bill DeMott's Involvement

Ok, first off, it's time to deal with the proverbial elephant in the room. Far from being a joke about the man's weight, this instead involves the fact that Bill DeMott played a huge part in Tough Enough, pretty much from the third season onwards. Even though he'd been released by WWE in 2007, the former wrestler would return as a head trainer for the revived fifth reason of Tough Enough in 2011. As many wrestling fans who keep up to date with the latest news will be able to attest, DeMott's name is mud at the moment in the industry. A lot of this stems from alleged incidents which took place in various WWE developmental territories, as well as at the WWE Performance Center. Reportedly indulging in some pretty serious hazing of trainees, DeMott will likely never be given key responsibilities in the development of young talent within WWE ever again, which pretty much rules him out of the Tough Enough premise going forward. It's pretty embarrassing for WWE that one of their more respected trainers has been disgraced in such a manner, even if many claims set against him remain simply conjecture.
