Tough Enough host revealed, Daniel Bryan and Hulk Hogan involvement

WWE issued the following press release to Prowrestling.net on Thursday.
USA Network and WWE announced today that WWE Superstar Chris Jericho will be the host of the highly-anticipated series, WWE TOUGH ENOUGH, and will be joined by a panel of experts comprised of WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan®, WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan® and WWE Diva Paige™. The high-octane reality series premieres LIVE Tuesday, June 23 at 8pm ET/5pm PT on USA Network and around the world.*

This season of WWE TOUGH ENOUGH will combine the can't-miss excitement of live television with reality-show drama, as WWE hopefuls vie for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the next WWE Superstar or Diva. Unlike anything on television today, the lightning-fast hour of entertainment and competition will include live results every week, giving fans worldwide the power to decide who stays and who goes the very same night. Each week, one cast member will be eliminated until one man and one woman are considered "Tough Enough," with each earning a one-year, $250,000 WWE contract.

Throughout the competition, the contestants will be trained by WWE Legends Booker T™, Billy Gunn™ and Lita™. Contestants will also come face-to-face with WWE icons including WWE Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Vince McMahon; Executive Vice President, Talent, Live Events & Creative, Paul "Triple H®" Levesque; Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon; and WWE Superstar John Cena®, among others
.
"These athletes, each with varying skill sets, will be put through a grueling boot camp that will test their physical, mental and emotional limits in a way that the series hasn't done before," said Jessica Sebastian, Vice President of Unscripted Series, USA Network. "Each week, their training and experience culminates in a spectacular live event where they will be put in front of their WWE heroes and an audience of fans. In this reimagined version of WWE TOUGH ENOUGH only the best will survive."

"This season of WWE TOUGH ENOUGH will be the most innovative, unique and engaging series on television," said Kevin Dunn, WWE Executive Producer. "A live global telecast, real-time voting with immediate results, and unprecedented use of digital and social media during and between telecasts will all lead to a groundbreaking viewing experience."

Lita Comments on Her WWE Hall of Fame Induction

- Lita posted the following letter following the announcement that she was going into the WWE Hall of Fame…

YO! Congrats to all of us! I heard you on social media, repping "LITA HOF 2014" signs at shows, and hashtagging your little hearts out. Your voices were heard! What better place than Wrestlemania 30!

I was so proud watching my bestie enter the 2013 class in the Hall of Fame. I know how hard she had worked, I watched her develop as a wrestler, talent, and woman over the years. I know fans were excited to see our generation of women represented in the HOF.

Often in the same breath, I heard support from fans expressing their desire for me to join the ranks of my piers as well. I had hoped at some point I would, but didn't realize it would be just around the corner.

I tend to have an expect the worse philosophy so I won't be let down, which seems like a pessimistic outlook when I tend to be such a positive person. Maybe not pessimistic, maybe more self preservation.

So much goes into selecting each class and watching each person touches me in a slightly different way, although it is always a similar sense of joy for each person to be able to have that moment where they are able to reflect on their journey and the fans have an opportunity to show their support.

When I played with my band, The Luchagors, my guitar player, Shane, had this exact opposite approach. Every day was going to be "the best day ever" "the best show ever" "the best meal ever" Every event was about to be the best ever.

The thought of that ideology, while endearing, was SO annoying to me! It just clashed with my self preservation. This show at this BBQ joint 35 minutes south of Louisville, KY is NOT going to be the best ever, and that's okay. But, just stop saying it is! Let's just revel in the awkward, "fun"comfortable moment that we are all sharing. Not everyone can say they have played a show in a BBQ restaurant with the 97 year old owner hooked up to a respirator shoved in the corner in a wheelchair. Should I say hello? Maybe better to act like I don't notice she's there? I know, dedicate a song to her. I can't make this sh** up, people.

I appreciate that not every day is the best day ever. At this point in my life, I can reflect on everything I've ever been through and know that I have learned, grown, and evolved from it. I can appreciate the good and the bad and derive an equal appreciation from each event.

For every weird Texas Chainsaw BBQ show, there was a run in at a TLC match at the Astrodome. For every full body cry I've had, I have had uncontrollable laughter.

So, here I am Class of 2014 Hall of Fame, the dumpster diving punk rock kid that was never supposed to make it, but with too much kid power to let anything get in my way, gearing up to give a speech and accept my position in front of the ultimate under dog of a city.

It seems kind of like the best thing ever-

xxx,

Amy

Third member of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2014

Lita (a/k/a Amy Dumas) was named the third member of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2014 during Monday's Raw.

Opinionated View- I respect Lita and it beats the hell out of Stacy Kiebler. But it just feels to soon than again WWE has already put in people like Edge and Trish Stratus.
