Season 4: Daniel Puder (2004)
When legit fighter Daniel Puder defeated fellow finalist Mike 'The Miz' Mizannin in a Boxing match at Armageddon 2004, his victory in Tough Enough was practically assured.
Winning a fan vote, Puder not only earned himself a $1,000,000 contract, but also a spot in the 2005 Royal Rumble.

Entering the match was a big mistake, as the young rookie went up against Hardcore Holly, a man known for punishing younger talent.
Nearly breaking Kurt Angle's arm on SmackDown months prior certainly didn't help Puder, who after being chopped viciously by Holly, Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle, was tossed out of the Rumble, and WWE.
Released in September 2005, Puder would have stints in both Ring of Honor and New Japan and can be today found as an MMA trainer for CoachUp.
