10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (May 8)
10. WWE Announces Hosts For Tough Enough
Even though the series was fairly entertaining, the last outing for WWE's Tough Enough concept in 2011 was pretty pointless. The overall winner, Andy Leavine, only appeared a handful of times on television after the reality-show season had finished, and was released less than a year after winning the competition. In June, WWE are bringing Tough Enough back, and the show will air on the USA Network. It appears the company are serious about making the broadcast one fans will pay attention to, because not only has Chris Jericho signed on as the main host of the show, but the promotion also announced the other stars who will put fledgling WWE stars through their paces. Joining Jericho are the likes of Hulk Hogan, Daniel Bryan and WWE Diva Paige. It seems like a strange mix, but there's a nice balance in there - who thought that one day, Bryan would be rubbing shoulders with Hogan and training people how to work in the industry? Hopefully, WWE have more plans in mind for the eventual winner than they did last time.
