TE is really exciting, we’ll either get some great female athletes, or we’ll get a bunch of models looking for something to do in order to get their name out there. Either way i’m really looking forward to this, maybe some indie names will pop up somewhere.

I can’t wait to see who the female contestants are going to be and if any of the current Divas are going to be coaches on the show.

Whether its all male or male & female (which is what is most likely), I’m just overjoyed that the series is returning, it was so refreshing back in the early 2000s, the likes of Maven, Nidia, Shaniqua & Miss Jackie I adored, then we had the likes of current talent such as John Morrison, The Miz and Melina, damn I’m really looking forward to seeing this series again! You guys better be doing a weekly write-up of it! >=-)

This is very good news for the Divas. If WWE are going to continue to hold ‘competitions’ to find and push new talent, then this is better than the Diva searches, and a hell of a lot better than NXT.
NXT didn’t exactly do favours for AJ Lee’s career, if AJ had have been on a show like Tough Enough she would have won easily, rather than losing in a popularity contest to someone too green for WWE like Kaitlyn (and being stuck in FCW for longer).
At least with a show like Tough Enough, it’ll actually filter out the decent talent, and give them a good push into WWE. Hope the show goes well.

There are a ton of good Divas that could be used as ‘trainers’. Gail Kim, Beth, Natalya, Melina, and Michelle would all be great (provided that Michelle’s insane push will finally end).

Gail Kim & Michelle are the trainers i prefer. This sounds promising, you have many women signing up from the indies and also WWE sended applications to most of the wrestling promotions and were told to give them out to wrestlers who had WWE potential because they said they wanted experienced wrestlers over non experienced wrestlers which is a surprise to me.

so when does, the casting end???? because once they choose the final 12, they will prob be spoiled by the wrestling websites, So i am thinkin 6 women and 6 men, i would even be happy with 3 indy women, and 3 models, but after i got to thinkin a years isnt really long enough to train a model, because wwe usually make there models wait the year before having them debut i.e Naomi, askana, maxine, the bellas, alicia fox,

Yes i think this will mean more time for the divas !!!!!!!!!!!!
