Talk:WWE Tough Enough

Daniel Puder and the "$1,000,000" prize

The prize was reportedly (according to Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer) structured as a 4-year contract paying $250,000 per year, with only the first year being guaranteed -- after which time WWE would have the option of termination. Since this option was exercised, it appears that Puder's prize was merely $250,000 rather than the advertised $1,000,000.

On September 13, Puder released this statement on his website:

Yes, the rumors are true. I have been offered a release from my Million Dollar contract by World Wrestling Entertainment. The fine print in the contract that I won on Smackdown's Tough Enough was that only the first of the four years (at $250,000 per year) was guaranteed. This is their right, so no bitching. I'm proud of winning the very first ever Million Dollar Tough Enough.

• This is true since I've read it from multiple sources including The LAW and Online Onslaught. (MJ)

Marty "The Boogeyman" Wright

he tried to get into the Million Dollar Tough Enough contest back in 2004 but got disqualified for being past the age limit that the WWE had set up for the contest. he still ended up signed to an delevopment deal and then made the actual SmackDown! roster in late 2005 only to be released in 2006, then rehired an month after his first release, but released again in 2009 after being injury prone for most of his WWE career. why isn't it mentioned here but is mentioned in his wikipedia page.--Boutitbenza 69 9 (talk) 20:40, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Miz mention

I am sort of curious, but why is the Miz mentioned in the intro? Was he a contestant on the show? I know he still wrestles for WWE... if John Hennigan is the only relevant person then it's not important to mention who his tag team partner was. Especially since, arguably his accomplishments as intercontinental champion and ECW champion are more notable than being half of either tag team championship for a couple months. Okay on better reading the page, Miz was obviously a contestant in the 4th Tough Enough (1mil) so since he is also employed I thought we should omit the sentence "Currently (as of January 4, 2009), the only Tough Enough winner still wrestling for WWE is John Hennigan, wrestling as John Morrison on the SmackDown brand." But on closer examination it says 'winner' and I was reading that as 'contestant', I guess the meaning is not all too clear at a glance. Basically, it might be useful to point out that there are some non-winners employed be the WWE while the 3 winners who are not John are not employed. Tyciol (talk) 15:28, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Also, It was reported today that the last winner Andy Leavine was quietly released from WWE some time ago. Can someone please add that? I've never edited an article before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.173.97.135 (talk) 21:37, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Shad Gaspard failing a drug test

Speculation of Shad Gaspard failing a drug test is not fact. If this is true please provide a report he actually failed a drug test. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:6000:630C:8100:F160:FFB2:30BF:70C4 (talk) 23:02, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Wendell

Hey, I notice that Wendell was not mention in Season 3. I know he didn't make it because of his cocky attitude and was effortless during the training. Al Snow was pissed off at him and expected a lot of potential from him. Snow yells at Wendell and kicks him out of the tryouts. Why is he not mentioned in the article. I have mentioned him at least a couple of times but it keeps getting deleted. Some people think he is Orlando Jordan. Does anyone know what happened to him and where/what is he doing in his life?Kingzwest (talk) 6:03, 7 April 2023 (UTC)(talk)
