1. Nobody Believes Any Of These Performers Will Ever Be WWE Main Event Superstars
Again, let's all realize that ZERO Tough Enough winners are presently employed by WWE, and that of the losers of Tough Enough currently in WWE, The Miz main evented Wrestlemania, Ryback's the current Intercontinental Champion and Cameron is currently a main roster performer and also a cast member on E! Network's Total Divas. Thus, putting any weight on the judgments of either the judges or fans via the app is a completely faulty premise. Top-tier talent selection -- especially in pro wrestling, is an imprecise science. Hulk Hogan initially had his leg intentionally broken in training. Steve Austin was fired in WCW and Chris Jericho was deemed too small to be a credible main eventer. Of these 13 contestants, let's presume that there's someone there who just isn't ready for prime time right now who will get overlooked, and someone who seems ready for more at that moment who will inevitably drop the ball. Asking the WWE Universe to wait and watch a season of these aspiring performers at their worst likely years before they might be their best NOT in WWE? Deplorable.
