10 Problems With Tough Enough WWE Doesn't Want To Admit
9. The Winners Are Going To Be Earning A LOT Of Money...
The winners of Tough Enough are scheduled to earn $250,000 contracts from World Wrestling Entertainment. Considering that these performers are going to not be as seasoned as other WWE performers, the idea that they're going to be earning this much money is on some level completely absurd. While all we've heard from NXT is that it's a core of gifted professional whose earnest desire is to put out a quality product, the idea that two overpaid and not-so-gifted performers could spoil the cohesion of that unit is entirely possible. WWE's likely thinking and/or advised their NXT crew against unnecessary hazing of the winners, but to believe that these are performers who will be initially welcomed with open arms is more than likely a fallacy.
