A lot of ppl claim Tough Enough and those that came from it was useless and the partipants went on to obscurity
Here are some examples of why i think Tough Enough was beneficial for some people in WWE
Maven (TE1) - Despite the constant Heat matches, i believe Maven had a good run in WWE, and seems to be doing well on the indies
Same for Nidia (TE1)
Christopher Nowinsky (TE1) - I enjoyed his team with Regal and short fued with Dreamer, but a few too many shots to the head regulated this TE1 runner up to behind the scenes work for WWE
Josh Matthews (TE1) - Appearantley WWE saw enough in him to give him an announcing position on Velocity & Smackdown, granted not the best job but commendable nontheless. Hasnt been seen in quite some time, but i guess a job with WWE is better than no job with WWE
Taylor (TE1) - Seriousley overlooked out of all the girls on that season, she enjoyed some moderate success in ARSION in Japan
Greg (TE1) - After leaving the first season due to injury, he built up a reputation on the indies most notably CZW & BWO
Matt Morgan (TE2) - Critized for being on the show because of JRs "hoss" intrest, this guy proved us all wrong by getting into shape during his WWE run in 03 and 05
John Morrison (TE2) - After a lot of fine tuning in OVW/DSW, the former Nitro achieved sucess as one half of former tag champs MNM, and now as ECW superstar John Morrison
The Miz (TE4) - While the Million Dollar TE showcased anything but in ring training, The Miz showed that he was as much of a top contender as winner Daniel Puder and he's now coming into his own on ECW
Shad (TE2) - He wasnt allowed on the show (didnt "pass a physical"), but several years later after considerable success in OVW as Da Beat he'd be gettin MONEY MONEY,YEAH YEAH as one half of Cryme Tyme with JTG
