WWE Bringing Back Tough Enough?

So many of you may have read online that World Wrestling Entertainment is doing just that entertaining the idea of bringing back the wrestling reality based show Tough Enough. Rumors are going around that Tough Enough would air on the USA Network unlike it's original home on MTV.
I didn't mind Tough Enough honestly, there were some good talent to come out of it and some not so good talent. I would like to focus on the positive and say Tough Enough has given us John Morrison, Josh Matthews (although now an announcer) and our current WWE Champion The Miz. Now they all didn't finish first in their respected seasons but we got to see a glimpse of what young unsigned talent was out there.

Now many of you are saying well isn't NXT sort of like Tough Enough? Yes and no, NXT is full of talent already signed to WWE and perform on FCW weekly, just currently the only way to see FCW is either living in the Tampa area and watching on Bright House Network or finding a youtube or website with a ripped video. Tough Enough was made up of young raw talent who may have only wrestled for fun in a high school gym. Most of them had never did that or even spoke on a mic before, but wanted to be a WWE superstar. At least some of the NXT rookies have had experiences in other promotions like Kaval and Daniel Bryan who are veterans outside of WWE.

So what would be the difference between NXT and Tough Enough? Well from what I am hearing Tough Enough will no longer be made up of unsigned talent and will be made up of FCW talent, or the talent you see  on NXT. You won't see the current NXT rookies on there but anyone currently performing in FCW who has not been on NXT you may see on Tough Enough. The difference between NXT and Tough Enough is NXT you see actual matches sort of like FCW without the storylines and with Tough Enough if the rumors are true it will be like it has always been, cameras following the talent around and watching their "real"interactions with each other. Watching them train and watching who is talking about who behind's who's back. 

Tough Enough I believe was way before it's time. The world we live in now is so reality based that Tough Enough would have done well if it aired during when reality TV was at it's highest level. Personally I feel reality TV has fallen a bit but still people watch, so the question is will you? WWE Tough Enough on the USA Network is rumored to air this spring.
