Sigh. I was so hoping there’d be some way to get Al Snow back, but I guess I will just have to, er, toughen up. Steve Austin is one of the WWE’s crossover stars — even non-wrestling fans like me are pretty familiar with him, and he obviously has plenty of on-screen experience. What I liked so much about Snow as the mentor, though, was his ability to turn off that in-ring persona and be a strict teacher, a focused father figure, and occasional goofball. I’m hoping Austin has that same knack, and isn’t just Stone Cold Steve Austin TM with his mentees; I hope sometimes he’s just a regular dude.
Does the presence Stone Cold Steve Austin make you more likely to tune in, PopWatchers?
I liked Tough Enough - particularly the 1st season, which went out on Sky1.
I don't know what ratings USA & WWE are expecting, but it seems pointless putting out another PG programme at that hour. None of that tame shite with UFC's reality show.

In case you haven't seen the list, wwe.com have posted a list of Royal Rumble entrants for this year. I personally don't like seeing who's in it at all, even though a certain number are obvious, it still nice to have no idea who is in it especially when you are getting near the end and you realise someone like R-Truth is about to come out
Anyway i've spoilered it in case you don't want to see it.
Alberto Del Rio Rumble experience: None
Big Show Rumble experience: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2009, 2010
Chris Masters Rumble experience: 2006, 2007, 2010
CM Punk Rumble experience: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010
Daniel Bryan Rumble experience: None
Darren Young Rumble experience: None
David Hart Smith Rumble experience: None
David Otunga Rumble experience: None
Drew McIntyre Rumble experience: 2010
Ezekiel Jackson Rumble experience: None
Heath Slater Rumble experience: None
Husky Harris Rumble experience: None
