    I wonder how many times Waltman let Hall practice putting a diaper on him? Or maybe the two of them were used to it by this point and it just came natural.

    Reading /r/SquaredCircle and this came up about Orton best story ever if true
    He's AWESOME. Bought me a Dr. Pepper in the St. Louis airport when I was freaking out about getting on a plane. Told me he's flown literally all over the world and I should be fine. He made some joke about how to watch out for little kids on the plane b/c god wouldn't crash a plane with little kids. He said if it's filled with old people you're fucked. (I was 29 at the time so not like I was a little kid)

    Welp, guess what's coming back
    During today's WWE's First Quarter Investors Conference Call, they were discussing ways that they will be adding content to the WWE Network. When they were listing new events (Monday Night Wars, a new season of Countdown) they listed "WWE Tough Enough". We'll have more on the story as it develops, but it sounds as if the show will be making a return via the WWE Network.

    Just write Austin a blank check to do Tough Enough again and I'll watch.

    Nah, I feel like we as a society have given Tough Enough too many chances and all it's given us in return is Silent Rage. NXT is a better system for finding and developing new talent.

    BJ Whitmer looks like a shit version of Michael Modest in that video. I never thought I'd say that he should grow his awful, ratty hair back but he absolutely should.

    I've greatly enjoyed every season of Tough Enough so far (well, except that one that was basically a male version of the Diva Search on Smackdown), so I like that WWE is doing another one. It has pretty much failed in its objective to find new superstars though.

    John Morrison's cool, but he's like the only winner from all five seasons to really do much. If you don't limit yourself to winners, then you can add Miz, Chris Nowinski, and maybe Cameron. Not exactly a resounding success.

    Say what you will about Leavine winning but at least they had enough sense to can him soon after. Well, if you consider 10 months "soon".

    Tough Enough isn't really about finding and developing new talent though. It's more for watching dopes that have almost zero experience get beaten up physically and mentally for eight to ten weeks and then being promo'd to death by Stone Cold.

    It's entertaining in a similar way to Total Divas, except it's geared more towards traditional wrestling fans. You give the winner a one year deal to NXT and that's that.

    Y'know what's weird though? Without Tough Enough bringing Chris Nowinski to WWE's attention, pro sports as a whole might've be worse off, because he wouldn't have been in a position to get the concussion he got in the Royal Rumble, which is what led him into concussion research, which is what led him to being one of the global authorities on sports concussions.

    Chris Nowinski's life story is fascinating.

    Look, if I wanted to watch some poor bastard who is massively out of their league be physically and mentally tortured before an insane bald dude berated them for ten minutes or more; I'd just set up a camera in my gym.

    His name eludes me because it has been so long, but the kid that ended up having a brain tumor had a ton of potential as I recall as well. Didn't he co-win with Morrison or something?

    Literally the only time Kyle O RLY is acceptable is teaming with Joey so I'm okay with that idea.
    Bobby Fish is never acceptable though.

    So what did my "winning" the Royal Rumble ever end up meaning? Did I get to face the champion at Mania? And was Nirya the champion at Mania? Am I now the champion by 1 point? Because that'd be kinda funny.
