The debut of \u201cTough Enough,\u201d a pro wrestling reality show where WWE hopefuls square off with the goal of becoming a superstar, was heavily influenced by today\u2019s reality shows, especially Hell\u2019s Kitchen.<\/p>\n

We began in a huge house. The house has to be worth several million and probably in the range of 10 or more million, and all of the muscle bound wrestler wannabes along with the attractive female wrestler hopefuls gather and take the tour. It almost gives the impression that a pro wrestling contract leads to that lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Booker T, Trish Stratus, and Bill DeMott join the host \u201cStone Cold\u201d Steve Austin to guide, mentor, and put in place the contestants. Each contestant gets their own belt with the hope that they will be the only one to hold onto it. Once you are gone, you have to give the belt back.<\/p>\n

DeMott is the heavy. He gives out nicknames to the contestants, calling one of them \u201cskid mark,\u201d and plays the tough guy role, although most contend he is a tough guy. He\u2019s a fat guy that can do back flips from the top rope\u2026I\u2019d say that he\u2019s tough. I\u2019ve known fat guys that can barely make it off of the couch. They were not tough enough\u2026 that\u2019s for sure!<\/p>\n

A three minute test would decide who stays and who goes\u2026and it involved running the ropes. The contestants would be judged on focus, how hard they hit the ropes, how well they ran, their timing, and their composure. One girl, Ariane, spent much too much time pulling up her pants. Thankfully, she was attractive. She wasn\u2019t one of these large people that gladly expose their plumber\u2019s crack for the world to see. She was a little bashful and Trish Stratus became very irritated. Stratus was never shy about showing her backside to the crowd and it made her quite popular.<\/p>\n

Three contestants stood in the ring at the end, each with their belt in tow. Stone Cold entered through the large double doors, a trail of smoke following him. I guess it was for effect. I don\u2019t think that he was burning something in the kitchen. Then again, Bill DeMott is a fat guy and may have been cooking something up and forgot it was on the stove. If so, they didn\u2019t revisit it.<\/p>\n

Ariane didn\u2019t know wrestling. She noted her favorite match of all time was a recent females outing and Stone Cold became offended. When Ariane mentioned that she was concerned about her pants coming down, he quickly jumped in with a confession. When he was bodyslammed by Yokozuna, he \u201cshit his pants\u201d and continued on. I\u2019m sure that Yokozuna would have preferred him to walk away and take the count out defeat. So, we now know that there are two cases of this. One, Stone Cold shit his pants against Yokozuna and Psycho Sid did against Hulk Hogan\u2026and they both finished the match\u2026troopers!<\/p>\n

Think about it. If you were at work and crapped your pants, would you just sit there and continue to type away? No, you\u2019d want to go home, but these are wrestlers and it takes guts, determination, and a pair of tights that are super absorbent to make it and Ariane just didn\u2019t have it.<\/p>\n

The belt was hanged up on her picture, much the same way that Gordon Ramsay does it with aprons on Hell\u2019s Kitchen. Much of the show, the set up of it, reminds me of that show\u2026and it\u2019s not a bad basis. Hell\u2019s Kitchen is incredibly successful.<\/p>\n

In the end, WWE\u2019s Tough Enough was interesting. I\u2019m not sure if I will tune in again, but for what I saw, it was decent.<\/p>\n
