"Tough Enough re-do" - 63-year-old dismisses WWE's massive new project (Exclusive)

WWE has no plans to take its feet off the pedal and continues expanding its programming catalog. The company recently announced an upcoming show in partnership with A&E, and Vince Russo felt it was just another Tough Enough reboot.

WWE LFG (Legends and Future Greats) will be an in-ring competition that will air on the A&E network in early 2025 and focus on developing the next crop of superstars.

Pro wrestling rookies will compete under the guidance of legendary coaches every week such as The Undertaker, Bubba Ray Dudley, Mickie James, and Booker T. The current booking heads of the company, Triple H and NXT's Shawn Michaels, will also be part of the show which seemingly resembles the former Tough Enough.

Tough Enough was a reality competition that ran for six seasons and followed a similar format, where veterans mentored untested talents in their quest to secure a WWE contract.

While reacting to the recent announcement, Vince Russo didn't seem overly impressed and believed pro wrestling was starting to face a problem of oversaturation.

He briefly explained while shutting down the LFG project as just another version of Tough Enough:

"And then there's that new program now, the Tough Enough redo with Bubba and Mickie, Booker and 'Taker. Too much wrestling, man, it's just way too much!" [From 1:06:50 onwards]

The A&E show will air next year and considering the star-studded team of coaches, Triple H and Co. might be going all out in an effort to shape the company's future.
