    If anybody remembers Maven, it is because he was given a monster push when he burst onto the scene in WWE. He eliminated The Undertaker from the Royal Rumble and even won the Hardcore Championship from The Deadman. Unfortunately, things never panned out for the inaugural winner of Tough Enough and he was released from the company in 2005. He wrestl...

    There were two female winners for Tough Enough Season 2 and one of them was Linda Miles. She made absolutely no memorable impact with the company before being released in 2004. She is now a substitute teacher in Cincinnati. The other winner from the second season of the show was Jackie Gayda, who did marginally better than Linda. She was also relea...

    Season 3 of Tough Enough gave us its most famous winner in John Morrison. He enjoyed a successful run in the WWE before he left the company to embark on an indie run as Johnny Mundo. He is now one of the biggest names in Lucha Underground. Mike Cappotelli’s story is a rather sad one as he was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2007 when he was in WWE...

    This final season of Tough Enough of the 2000s saw a $1 Million prize pool and it was won by an American MMA fighter going by the name of Daniel Puder. He could have been successful had he not shot his career in the foot during a segment on Smackdown involving Kurt Angle.

    Another case of a Tough Enough winner turning out to be a dud, Andy Leavine won the 2010 edition featuring Stone Cold Steve Austin as the host only to never make it on the WWE’s main roster. He was a part of the company’s developmental program for a couple of years before being released for good in 2012. He has been wrestling in lesser known indie ...

    2015’s sixth – and as of now, final – edition of Tough Enough saw a return to the two winner formula as Josh Bredl and Sara Lee came out on top. It was hosted by Chris Jericho but that did little to help the careers of the two winners. Bredl wrestled under the name of Bronson Matthews in NXT but hasn’t made a huge impact. He is still under contract...

    • John Morrison & Matt Capotelli (2003) So seasons 1 and 2 may have been duds, but Season 3 delivered a bonafide star. John Morrison would be one of the winners, and after some training, made a name for himself in WWE.
    • Daniel Puder (2004) When legit fighter Daniel Puder defeated fellow finalist Mike 'The Miz' Mizannin in a Boxing match at Armageddon 2004, his victory in Tough Enough was practically assured.
