10 Most Cringeworthy WWE Tough Enough Moments Ever

7. Eric Needs Help Getting Down

Much like any show based on reality, it's sometimes obvious when people are allowed through to the final show simply because the producers want to inject some comedy into proceedings. The larger-than-life Eric Watts fulfilled that role nicely during the fifth season of Tough Enough, and it was pretty clear from the outset that he wasn't exactly cut out for a career in professional wrestling at the time of filming. In a fair competition, one entirely based on reality, Watts (no relation to the 'other' Erik Watts of WCW and TNA fame) would have struggled to make it past the first basic fitness tests. A big guy, he was clearly lagging any time contestants had to perform even the most rudimentary of drills, but he did provide ample laughs - often unintentionally - throughout the season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKfUOz9-fzY Without doubt, the most embarrassing moment for Watts came during the sixth episode of the show, the one during which he would be cut and called a 'disappointment' by Steve Austin. During an obstacle course run, Eric blew up physically, and was unable to finish. Worse yet, the big man was stuck high above the ground, and had to be helped back to safety. In interviews since, Watts has said it was the most "crushing moment" of his life.
