WWE Developmental Wrestler Released, Update On "Tough Enough" Winner
AppId is over the quota
The official website of Florida Championship Wrestling has removed developmental wrestler Rodney Thomas from their roster section, which would indicate that he has been released from his contract with WWE.
Thomas, previously known as "Shotgun" Brock Barker on the Canadian independent wrestling scene, is a graduate of Lance Storm's professional wrestling academy in Calgary, Alberta. He signed a developmental contract with WWE earlier this year following a tryout.
Meanwhile, Tough Enough winner Andy Leavine has been added to their roster under the name Kevin Hackman. Photos of Leavine holding the Tough Enough Championship are enclosed but no mention is made of the Florida native winning the reality television series.
Leavine has been training at their Tampa facility since June, during which he was reportedly suspended for a violation of WWE's Talent Wellness Program. He has since returned to action.

Steve Austin Discusses Tough Enough 2, Sting vs. Hogan, Cena vs. Rock & More
AppId is over the quota
- WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin has a new interview up with The Sun. Here are some highlights:
Another match with CM Punk:
"I think Punk is a great guy. I'd say he looks up to me for what I did in the ring back in the day — and I look up to him for what he is doing now. I'd say it's a case of mutual respect. I hear the stories and if the stars aligned and all things worked out to benefit us all — the WWE, myself and Punk — I'd say that he is the guy I'd pick to face. I'm sure I could get another match out of this carcass of mine."
Working WrestleMania 27 and a second season of Tough Enough:
"Mania was a lot of fun. If you can't be one of the guys in the ring competing, why not be the guy who is pulling the strings in there instead? I enjoyed the experience and it's always fun to be in a WWE ring. I really get the fans and they still appreciate what I've done and continue to do. WWE has changed, it was a lot edgier in my day, but things do move on and that was my time I guess."
"It's fun being closer to wrestling again. I loved Tough Enough and hear there may be a second series. If a few other things get ironed out in the company first, I'd say it's a good 95 per cent guaranteed. My Involvement was a lot more hands on than I expected and I enjoyed that. Wrestling is part of my system. I don't miss the bumps, the travel grind or the pain, but I do enjoy it when I get back and feel the rush of being in front of a crowd."
Thoughts on Sting vs. Hulk Hogan & John Cena vs. The Rock:
"A year-long build is something no one has ever done so Cena v Rock will be very interesting. Rock is doing his thing in Hollywood so can't make every taping, plus you can't overdo these things. WWE are doing their part and keeping it moving along, but there is still a long time until the pay-off."
"I'll be honest, I hadn't heard about Hogan v Sting. That will be interesting too, I mean Hogan had back surgery didn't he? They are both great guys. I'm a fan of Sting's and he can still go with the best of them. I know Hogan well and he still has it when he needs it. It will be a very interesting night at the office that one and I will most certainly be watching Bound For Glory to see how it works out."
"I get annoyed when people say that such and such should retire, or they shouldn't compete due to injury or age. I know how it works and many of these guys find it hard to stay out of the ring. Hogan, for example, was put on this world to be there. There may often be money involved when guys step back in the ring, but it's more about their need to be there than the financial rewards. The other thing is that there are so few people coming up through the ranks who can match the success of guys like Hulk, Flair, Sting or myself. Cena may be the only one who has reached that level — I've yet to see another hit that peak yet."

Wilson, Lilian & Candice interview - Tough enough after show, Divas Lockerroom
By Daniel Pena
On June 8, 2011-3: 26: 08 PM Torrie Wilson, Lilian Garcia and Candice Michelle celebrates the end of his quite after show in TV AfterBuzz reminsicing in their favorite moments and guests, as well as his best of hard enough. The trio known as 'NAFTA' also talked about what their current projects as recorder of Torrie Diva fat cut and new album of Lilian. Also receive their reflections on the Divas today and if they experienced any cattiness in the lockerroom during his time in the WWE.
Interview can be downloaded or streaming here.
Origin of the idea of hard enough after show:
Lilian: "in reality, he approached Candice and was so beautiful that brought Torrie and I." The three had been talking about trying to do something together [...] it became the perfect opportunity to do something. It was actually Wilson... I was with her in Miami and we sit there trying to figure out what call to us themselves. I'll never forget Torrie only sitting there and it will ' T... TAA... TLC!' and I say, when this revelation, it was so cool. "This has been fun to work together."
On whether the Tough Enough contestants women received a fair advantage program:
Wilson: "I think they got a fair shake but it is definitely harder in women than men." I hate to admit it, but men are physically stronger than women, and it is much more tolling as we saw. It would be great if there were two shows separated - hard enough for a woman and strong enough for a boy. But it is what it is and they have a great chance to be seen by everyone in the WWE and I am sure that I will come back to see some of the women more. "
In the interview with Michelle McCool on the after show where she discussed in the lockerroom cattiness of other Divas due to its success. Does Wilson and Candice met too?
Candice: "absolutely." I was not here for that interview but he received a chance to see it. Close to get to the top, more people - is like a duck beaks only to you. They only want to Peck at you and make you go back to the bottom. There is only a place there, so it is inevitable. Most of the girls are absolutely amazing and get help and support. "It takes two and to dance Tango in ring, but not everyone has such a philosophy."

JR Blog: Christian losing the title, comments of Kharma, Tough enough
By Marc Middleton
5 June 2011-10: 12: 57 AM Jim Ross is back with another update on the jrsbarbq.com blog. Here are some of the highlights of this post:
-Tough enough ends Monday LIVE in United States and I hope that it returns for a second season, but apparently it is not an agreement yet done. I personally think that the program is well produced and I liked very much the work of Steve Austin, Trish Stratus, Bill DeMott, and Booker T. None of the talents of professional wrestling, as I have mentioned, jumped off the screen at me but become a great, in ring talent is always a work in progress and some perspectives will never be exactly understand what it is that you need to do to become a star. I'm a believer is a process of maturation of 3-5 years before most of the athletes are ready to even think about great events you.
-After the scandal of the vocal minority when Christian lost the world title on Smackdown, I mentioned that I thought that loss is likely to place the veteran described as Ontario, not talking about Neil Young, to become the most relevant and valuable to the WWE. It seems as if there has been as a Christian, after the broadcast of Smackdown this week, is possibly the villain of the # 1 brand. Of course there will be some who refuse to look at the reality of this matter and the fact that Christian has the opportunity to fill a huge void, and that in many of the main events at live events and on television. In addition, Christian verbal skills will be better used as an antagonist of the IMO. This no doubt positions Christian that have the potential to take advantage of such and the bottom line is making money.
-@ Kharma wrote a very nice blog that clarified the misunderstanding that had some people after their convincing, promotion of ring on Monday night Raw. Too many people acting like fools and me for all kinds of ridiculous things with racism, being a misogynist, etc. before the facts charged. We lost a lot of business here on our Web site due to which is regrettable.

He wrote, "I have had many questions regarding a second season of tough enough... no word yet." "Very interesting..."
The WWE Hall of Fame also said on Monday during an interview with TV of AfterBuzz do not know if it will be a second season.
-WWE has been added to Jinder Mahal and Johnny Curtis at the page of list of SmackDown!.
Mahal Yoshi Tatsu won her SmackDown debut last night with a full nelson suplex slam. He then ordered The Great Khali to manhandle Tatsu with Bank Khali screw.
Curtis appeared in the peculiar backstage segment on SmackDown. After being declared the winner of the fourth season of WWE NXT, Curtis was betrothed to a WWE Tag Team Championship Match with his Pro, R-verdad.
"But that is not going to happen," Rió Curtis. "And that's the truth." He then proceeded to do so as would any other WWE superstar; cry over spilt milk.

"Tough Enough" contestant A.J. Kirsch predicts who will win the series this Monday
Mayhem of Monday night with A.J. Kirsch
Hosts: The big Mosh and "The President of the Board" Todd Vincent
Summary by Patterson of New Jersey
It airs Mondays at 6: 00 P.M. (CT)
Show available in MondayNightMayhem.com.
despite their elimination of WWE Tough Enough, why it is important for him to "leave on a positive note": "I have had the opportunity to really absorb it and take in all the comments of the fans." I was lucky to go out on a positive note. I won the contest of skills with my promo. Last week was the first time I saw the episode, what the coaches talking about, it was the first time I saw speak about it. To see it puts a huge smile on my face, when I knew what was coming. "I feel like a hit with the promotion, and I don't think I could have left a note".
His reaction to the controversy on the Elimination of Christina Crawford of the program and its response to fans who feel that it was his guilt suffered by his ankle injury, which was one of the factors that contribute to its vote the event: "I think that it is a little unfair to say that you caused me the injury suffered". I'll admit I was out of position, was a little closer to the corner which should have been when she came out of the top, that the amount of movement had and put her in more than a precarious position which needed to be in danger. Fully assume responsibility for that part of my speech, but when something happens in the ring, it is not the fault of a person. "Both shared equal parts of fault when it came to his injury."
That you feel will win the final of the next Monday night WWE Tough Enough season: "I think that Luke will win." It has the most experienced of the two contestants. I think it looks good, is in very good shape and more importantly, the fans already hate you. "He already has that relationship with the fans, which is something some kids struggle with months, if not years to learn".
