00:24You want to be a wrestler?
00:27This is like a dream come true.
00:30I got what it takes.
00:31The only thing I was put on the earth is to do it.
00:51Welcome, everybody, to the Million Dollar Tough Enough.
00:55I came here for one thing only.
00:57To get that million dollars.
00:58Oh, this is magnificent.
01:00Let's do it.
01:02You're looking at the winner right here.
01:04You know, obviously, I know I'm going to make it.
01:07I'm not being khaki.
01:08I'm just confident.
01:10You guys should be excited to be here because of thousands and thousands and thousands of entries.
01:17You 50 today have the opportunity of a lifetime.
01:24It's a chance to be a part of the most elite group of sports entertainment athletes in the world.
01:31The WWE.
01:32I mean, this is like a dream come true.
01:34Huge opportunity.
01:35Gotta have hardness.
01:36This is no joke.
01:37There ain't no losers here, dude.
01:38Nice guys.
01:39Good looking kids.
01:40Nice to meet them all.
01:41They're all here for the same purpose.
01:42Everybody else has different backgrounds.
01:43I've never pulled a truck.
01:44I've never ultimately fought.
01:45I'm not a power lifter.
01:46I'm a professional wrestler.
01:47I'm a sports entertainer.
01:48This is the only thing I was put on the earth to do.
01:49And this is the only thing that I'm going to do.
01:50Keep going.
01:51Keep going.
01:52Keep going.
01:53Come on.
01:54Come on.

02:11Ah.
02:12Ah.
02:13Ah.
02:14Ah.
02:15Ah.
02:16I just want to welcome you guys to the Optimum Fitness Obstacle Course Challenge part of a
02:20Tough Enough Million Dollar Challenge.
02:22I take what I do very serious.
02:25My job was to cut down people.
02:28So I was going to push until they did drop.
02:32The course didn't look that difficult.
02:34Most people just looking at the course would go, sure, I can do it.
02:38The reason why it's so tough, the sand is one of the main ingredients to what we do out
02:45there.
02:46Running in that sand, the resistance is like doubled or tripled.
02:50Hurry up!
02:51Run!
02:52Run!
02:53You're going above oxygen capability, and you're not used to it.
02:56It's going to take you down.
03:05Are you okay?
03:06The ones that didn't make it, you can tell they didn't want it.
03:11The competition was not just a physical test.
03:13Touch the sand.
03:14Under.
03:15Over.
03:16Hurry up!
03:17It was a mental test as well.
03:18You're supposed to be an athlete!
03:19Aw is not a number!
03:20You win?
03:21You're supposed to be the best we got.
03:24You better dig deep boys, you better dig deep!
03:27It only gets harder.
03:28It only gets harder.
03:29We'll never ever give up.
03:30We have six different levels.
03:31These guys were going through a level 10.
03:34They showed that you can reach inside and you can accomplish things.
03:37And you can't accomplish things.
03:39It's not a number.
03:40A-U is not a number.
03:43A-U is not a number.
03:45You're supposed to be the best we got.
03:46You better dig deep, boys.
03:47You better dig deep.
03:48can accomplish things.
03:50They show that tenacity to really wanting
03:52to be a part of the WWE.
03:55The bar has been set.
03:58Ready to get some?
03:59Yes, sir.
04:00Go.
04:02Let's see it.
04:03Go.
04:04Every square.
04:05Every square.
04:06Oh, you're the Navy.
04:08My inner strength and my pride and my determination
04:10definitely comes from the men in my family.
04:12Very, very strong men in my family.
04:14Let's go, Navy Blue.
04:16Go, go, go, go, go, go.
04:18Go.
04:19Knock him out.
04:20Push him.
04:215, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 132.
04:31I want to be a strong individual.
04:33You know what I mean?
04:33If strong comes across as being a tough guy,
04:36it's not necessarily meant to be that way.
04:38I definitely give everyone the respect that you need to give.
04:44Good morning, guys.
04:45Day two, my friends.
04:46Day two.
04:46Time for another day of health.
04:49Just to inform you, two guys have already dropped out.
04:52If you're not willing to give the commitment
04:53it's going to take to do this, just walk on off,
04:56because I don't want to waste your time,
04:57and I sure as hell don't want you to waste ours.
04:59What's going on with your bicep?
05:02Ah.
05:03And I lay awake all night saying, this was it.
05:05I won't get that chance to fulfill my dream
05:08because of this injury.
05:10Let's go.
05:11Let's go.
05:12Do it.
05:12Come on.
05:13Come on.
05:15Come on, Brian.
05:15Come on.
05:16I came out here today, and I said, no matter what,
05:19I am going to give it everything.
05:22There's no rocks.
05:24Let's go.
05:24Let's go.
05:25Get over that wall.
05:26Come on.
05:26Come on.
05:27Come on.
05:27Come on.
05:28Come on.
05:28Go.
05:29That's tough.
05:30Sprint.
05:30Sprint.
05:31Sprint.
05:31Sprint.
05:32Sprint.
05:32Yeah.
05:33Yeah.
05:34Torn bicep.
05:35Torn pictorial.
05:36I think I'm quitting.
05:37Good job.
05:38How bad do you want this?
05:40More than anything in the world.
05:41Injury or no injury, I'm coming to the big time.
05:44I showed them something today that you can't all of a sudden
05:48train to have.
05:49Today, you showed a tremendous amount of heart,
05:52a tremendous amount of passion.
05:54You showed everybody out here just exactly what
05:56this business is about, why we do this.
06:00Thank you for that.
06:02Thank you, sir.
06:04Brian, I'm sorry.
06:06You're injured.
06:07You're cut.
06:15Thank you very much for the opportunity.
06:18I really hope that I get the pleasure and privilege
06:21for one day to be a part of this family.
06:29Hey, Brian.
06:30Brian.
06:31You didn't make it here because you're injured.
06:33What I'd like to do is I'd like to pay for your injury to get
06:36fixed and then send you down to OVW and give you a
06:37developmental deal.
06:38Thank you so much.
06:43Thank you so much.
06:44Woo!
06:44Woo!
06:45It's true to stay alone.
06:49At 24 years old, I just got accepted into the only family
06:55I've ever wanted to be in.
06:56And I'm going to do whatever I have to do and make them know
07:00that that was a great decision.
07:09Final selection process, I was really nervous.
07:11Before we get started, I just want to thank each and every
07:14one of you.
07:15Damn.
07:15I'm going to start getting kind of shaky here.
07:18Your dedication is incredible.
07:20There's a lot of desire and heart in this group right here.
07:23I definitely had a nervous stomach.
07:25Unfortunately, not everybody's cut out for this business and not
07:28everybody will make the eight finalists.
07:30Toughen Up is no joke.
07:31I learned that.
07:33Now to begin the eight finalists for the $1 million Toughen Up.
07:39Daniel Pewter, Ryan Reeves, Nick Mitchell, Mike Lozanic,
07:51Justice Smith, John Meyer, Chris Nalaki.
07:56The final contestant for the $1 million Toughen Up is Dan Rodiner.
08:08I have been so excited for this.
08:10I was so pumped up.
08:11When I heard my name, I just, you know, it was like fireworks just
08:16exploded.
08:17It was just incredible.
08:18I'm living a dream now, you know, just an overwhelming experience.
08:21My gosh, I'm just so overwhelmed.
08:26Being here was a great experience and I'm very, very excited to show
08:29that I'm Toughen Up.
08:30Congratulations to all of you.
08:32I'll be looking forward to seeing you all in Stanford and then
08:35we'll find out just how Toughen Up you really are.
08:38What would I get with a million dollars?
08:41I'd bet it on black.
08:43Honestly, I'd gamble it.
08:45I'd invest it.
08:46And if we win, we bet it again.
08:48Buy me a nice house.
08:50Nice mountain bike.
08:51Couple choppers.
08:52Biggest truck I could find.
08:53Some cattle, because I'm from Texas.
08:55I want a house in the hills.
08:56Beverly Hills, that is.
08:58Jewelry, clothes, vehicles.
09:00Maybe a couple tattoos.
09:02Houses, strippers.
09:04You name it, I'd buy it.
09:08Are you done?
09:09Yeah.
09:10Okay.
09:15You all right?
09:24John Meyer decided to quit.
09:26He came to me, told me that after spending the first night
09:29in a bathtub full of ice water trying to soak,
09:32and then barely getting out of bed the next morning,
09:34that he realized that this just wasn't for him.
09:36I feel like I'm in great physical shape, endurance-wise,
09:39strength-wise, but it's another thing to go in and put your body
09:43through the pressures of learning how to wrestle.
09:47And I was like, you know what?
09:48This just isn't for me right now in my life.
09:56You want big time?
09:57You got big time.
09:58I grew up in the Woodlands, Texas.
09:59It's right outside of Houston with my mom.
10:02My mom's been a single parent,
10:03and I've learned a lot of responsibility.
10:05She's a sensation for me.
10:07I ain't gonna sit here and tell a story
10:08about when I was five years old.
10:10I weighed 40 pounds.
10:11I started working out.
10:12Right now, I'm living in Beaumont
10:13because I moved there to play arena football.
10:15I'm living with my girlfriend, Destiny.
10:17She's awesome.
10:18I was always the kid, always getting in trouble.
10:23Most people think I'm gonna be a heart.
10:25But I'm not like that.
10:26I just like to have fun.
10:27Get to the chopper.
10:28Do it now.
10:29You know where the weight room is?
10:30Happy with 30?
10:35I could have done about 31, 32.
10:37Okay.
10:38I'm always quick to jump up and do something real quick.
10:41I mean, I'm a funny, goofy guy.
10:43I like to entertain people.
10:44My opportunity level has gone way up.
10:48Is that why they call you the Big Booty Bandit?
10:54I've been dreaming of this forever.
10:56Come on, Big Booty Bandit.
10:57Pick it up.
10:58Pick it up.
10:59Pick it up.
11:00Race the action.
11:01My favorite part was just competing with people.
11:02I love competing.
11:03They're pretty serious, and this is a huge business.
11:07Way more money in this business than anything I've ever been in.
11:10So it was like, I can't even explain how I feel right now.
11:13I'm so excited.
11:14My name is Daniel Rodimer.
11:16You expect to win this?
11:18There's no doubt in my mind.
11:20You're a little cocky, aren't you, Dan?
11:22No, just confident.
11:24Well, I wouldn't consider myself cute.
11:25I would consider myself hot.
11:27Every superstar has to have his entourage on fire.
11:32Why don't you back off?
11:35So I'm trying to steal my spotlight.
11:36I want you guys to make out a little bit.
11:41Go!
11:42Get over that wall.
11:43Get over that wall.
11:44Growing up, I was always wild and crazy and all over the place.
11:48My mother and father were so supportive of me,
11:50and they always kept me in one sport or another,
11:53pretty much to keep me out of trouble.
11:55And I love football.
11:57It was my passion.
11:58The four years that I played at the University of South Florida,
12:00I can honestly say they were probably the four best years of my life.
12:07I always had to get put in my place very often,
12:09but most of the time I'd talk my way out of the trouble
12:12that I got myself into.
12:13I got what it takes.
12:14How are you?
12:15It's easy to say it.
12:16Can you show it?
12:17Can you show it right now?
12:18My confidence has been built up over the years.
12:20Just from growing up when somebody says I can't do it,
12:23it just pushes me to be even better.
12:25This opportunity that I have right now,
12:27it's the biggest opportunity ever in my life.
12:29Me?
12:30I'm gonna step up.
12:31Let's go!
12:32If you step in this ring, son, you better bring it.
12:33I'm stepping up.
12:34Trust me, you don't want it.
12:35Here we go.
12:36From eight in the morning to eight at night, I train hard.
12:50Yeah!
12:51Yeah!
12:52Yeah!
12:53Yeah!
12:54Yeah!
12:55Yeah!
12:56My father, he was in the military.
12:57He was actually teaching us Taekwondo in a housing area in Germany,
12:59in the backyard, just learning, you know, Taekwondo.
13:02It really grounded me.
13:03It really disciplined me.
13:04You wanna quit?
13:05I don't talk smack on the microphone.
13:06I smell a lot, yup.
13:07Oh, this is funny, right?
13:08But I guarantee you, if you want some, I could get crunk on it, for real.
13:20And for those of y'all that know crunk, crunk means getting a little hype, you know,
13:24when you get, like, the juices flowing.
13:26I try to incorporate some slang, like crunk, buck wild, and tipsy.
13:32What's up, B?
13:33What's up, B?
13:34Come on, B.
13:35What's up, B?
13:36What's up, B?
13:37Come on, B?
13:38Come on, B?
13:39Come on, B?
13:40What's B?
13:41B is short for brother.
13:42I don't know your name, or you told me your name, and I forgot.
13:45Come on, B.
13:46You know, I forgot your name.
13:47I'm like, come on, B.
13:48You know, let's do this.
13:49Let's get it done.
13:50Let's get it done, man.
13:52The very first day that we started training, I look over, and Justice is proclaiming that
13:57he can have this enormous vertical leap.
14:00I jumped out the gym.
14:02Justice saying that, you know, he's always had a vertical leap of 33 inches.
14:06He's a college basketball player, blah, blah, blah.
14:08Pewter goes, well, I bet you you don't.
14:10It's, like, going to be a 12-inch vertical, but it's all right.
14:14Oh, my God.
14:15If Justice lost, he would dress up as a woman.
14:18And dance for us on the stage.
14:20Right before he goes to jump, I open my loud mouth and say, I can jump an inch higher than you, Justice.
14:25I think I jumped 26 inches.
14:35I guess.
14:36I don't know.
14:37There you go.
14:38You gotta get 27.
14:39Hey!
14:40Oh!
14:41Jesus!
14:42Are you serious?
14:46Welcome to the Penthouse Boutique.
14:49Oh, Jesus.
14:51She may have seen better.
14:54I think you've got the top on backwards.
15:00You're off.
15:01See?
15:02Two guys that big.
15:04Hey, Switch.
15:05Let me get that outfit right there.
15:06Trying on bikini tops and little frilly bottoms.
15:10Oh, man.
15:11And the look on their face.
15:13Dan Rohdeimer's face.
15:14He just looks so sad.
15:19They look like turbans.
15:20You ready, Daniella?
15:21Outfit number two for you.
15:23Oh, yeah.
15:24And inspection.
15:25Yeah.
15:26Hey, keep this up.
15:27Nobody's gonna marry you.
15:32Woo!
15:33Oh, man!
15:34I hit the score, I think!
15:36Oh, my God!
15:38You're gonna play dress up!
15:41It's mine!
15:42So, you know what I'm saying?
15:43It was so funny to dress up as a female.
15:45Stop hitting girls.
15:47I don't know if my dad's gonna find it funny, but...
15:49Here are the outfits that you have decided that these two will wear tomorrow.
15:54What do you think?
15:55Let's give them a big hand.
15:56Woo!
15:58You think they're sexy?
15:59Yeah!
16:00You think they're hot?
16:01Yeah!
16:03Is my skirt too short?
16:04Oh, yeah.
16:05It's way too short.
16:06We like to call him Big White Chocolate, and that's sweet brown sugar there.
16:10Do you have any openings?
16:11I don't know.
16:12What can you girls do?
16:13Dance!
16:14Thanks for bringing us in.
16:16I heard your short staff today.
16:18These two made a bet, and they've lost it.
16:25Dan really seemed to just go for it right away, which is great.
16:28We just went along for the ride.
16:30All the moves that I've picked up over the years, I had the opportunity to use.
16:37I feel a lot more for women.
16:39Don't touch me there.
16:41You know, anytime I see pumps now, I know what you have to go through.
16:44And Justice had this attitude, you know?
16:53He had this face expression that I really like, you know?
16:56Like, his eyes, his smile.
16:59I have that wig at home.
17:02I was like, yo, I'm too big for the pole.
17:05First time I jumped on the pole, I felt like it was going to break.
17:08And what they did, they should never do again.
17:13Let's go.
17:15On SmackDown.
17:17Insane.
17:18We didn't know what we were going to do out there, and that was really building on all of us.
17:22Going into a room with, you know, everybody who you've idolized for your whole life.
17:28Honestly, it was very overwhelming.
17:29And then the Big Show put us in our place.
17:31You're going to love this man if you put it short in the front of me.
17:35You hear me?
17:36This is hollowed ground.
17:39Everybody in this locker room has paid their dues to be here.
17:43You clowns have it.
17:45You will get out of our locker room now.
17:48Peter, he stands bowed up all the time.
17:50He can't help but that's how his body's shaped.
17:52Are you bowing up?
17:53Yeah.
17:55Get the out of my locker room now. Let's go.
17:57Oh, crap. These guys mean business.
17:59I got tossed around by the Big Show.
18:01Get out of my locker room now. Get out!
18:03If there's one sacred thing in our business that's still left, it's our locker room.
18:08Man, I refuse to share it with them.
18:10They're not part of this crew yet.
18:11Man, until they are, they don't belong in our locker room.
18:14Going through that curtain though, I'll tell you, it was just like the biggest rush I've ever felt in my life.
18:19Indescribable.
18:20Indescribable.
18:21At all costs.
18:22They look pretty confident.
18:23Yeah, but imagine what they're feeling inside.
18:25Oh, they're nervous, but they're having a good time. That's cool.
18:28You each have 20 seconds on the mic to tell Big Show exactly what you think.
18:34Oh, that's all we got to do is talk junk. Oh, good.
18:37You'll never be putting me in my place again.
18:40This is the true story of when the Miz came to Oklahoma!
18:46Guess what? We were in Omaha.
18:48If you had this opportunity, you would have taken it too.
18:51It was good because I didn't offend the Big Show.
18:53Some of the other guys, they offended them kind of like Nick.
18:55I didn't know they stat crap that high.
18:57I didn't really mean it, but I had to say it.
18:59I smiled right in your face.
19:01And what did you do?
19:03Absolutely nothing.
19:05Yo, Big Show!
19:07Come out and play!
19:09I'm an ultimate fighter. What?
19:11You think you can get in the ring with me?
19:13Then all of a sudden, well, it's the Big Show!
19:16And then, boom!
19:17And everybody said, oh, hell no.
19:19Of course the Big Show pointed to me first!
19:22Come here.
19:23Rodimer wanted nothing to do with him.
19:25You could tell he was shaking.
19:26I was right there.
19:27Just waiting to tell everybody why you're so tough.
19:30I think everybody...oh!
19:32He swung that mitt and luckily I dodged it
19:36because I probably would have been knocked out.
19:40I'm going to body slam each and every one of you
19:43to find out how tough you are.
19:45And I knew I wanted to stand out,
19:47so I just ripped my shirt off and I got in his face.
19:49Look at Ryan Reeves stepping up.
19:51Oh!
19:53Man!
19:54Oh, man!
19:55Mike was saying it!
19:56The Miz is up and down!
19:58I gave him a little skip up to him.
20:01Oh!
20:02And a slap to Nick Mitchell!
20:04Wow!
20:05Big Show slapped the hell out of you!
20:07Some stars out of the side.
20:08I couldn't hear out of the ear.
20:09There goes Nick Mitchell up and down!
20:12Big Show came out and asked me if I had heart.
20:14And I told him, hell yeah, I got heart.
20:16I don't give up on anything I do.
20:20Chris Narocki didn't explain this pain cold.
20:24Oh, Mike Cole!
20:25This is the Big Show here.
20:26One of the greatest superstars out there slamming me to the mat.
20:29The pain didn't matter.
20:31Look at this!
20:32Oh, Justice Smith!
20:33Oh, and a 470 pound elbow!
20:36That really hurt.
20:37Justice!
20:38It's down!
20:39And he's hurt!
20:40Here we go!
20:41The six-foot-eight road, I remember!
20:43And a knee to the chest!
20:46Even though my chest hurt and my back, my neck, I still know exactly that this is what I want
20:54to do for the rest of my life.
20:56You spend 320 days a year on the road away from your family, you show me you love the business
21:01that much, okay, I'll welcome you in.
21:05If you want a contest, so what?
21:08Go get a lottery ticket.
21:10Winning this competition would make me one step closer to my dream, and that is becoming
21:14a WWE superstar.
21:15This is the true story of when the men came to the Million Dollar Tough Enough Challenge!
21:22Let's see what you're made of, Mr. TV.
21:24I was at Miami, Ohio.
21:25I was in my fraternity house, watching TV one day, and it says, try out for the real
21:30world.
21:31And I was like, really?
21:32Try out for a reality show?
21:33Like, should I do it?
21:35No!
21:36No!
21:37No!
21:38No!
21:39No!
21:40No!
21:41No!
21:42No!
21:43No!
21:44No!
21:45No!
21:46No!
21:47No!
21:48No!
21:49No!
21:50No!
21:51No!
21:52No!
21:53No!
21:54No!
21:56No!
21:57No!
21:58And we're mad at true truth.
21:59It's when we're investigating.
22:01I was about to start studying a NBC film 400.
22:02nelle brush one the ship belt.
22:04I created a character alter ego called the Miz on the real world.
22:05Y'all want to know who the Miz is?
22:07I just exploded, and I called it the Miz.
22:08Believe it or not, the Miz was more well-liked than Mike was.
22:10In the first reality show ever, I received the most important shirtless male.
22:12I beat Nick Lachey, Dave Navarro.
22:15I've been to the Playboy Mansion, baby.
22:16Got the invitation in the mail.
22:18Now we go to the books.
22:19Ric Flair, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Mankind, Mankind.
22:21Mankind, The King, read them all.
22:24We've got the Eddie Guerrero story.
22:26We've got WrestleMania 20, Ric Flair collection, The Rock.
22:29Right here, I made this.
22:30This was my first pair of wrestling pants.
22:33I've been going to school in an independent scene
22:35for about two and a half years now.
22:37That's my Miz logo.
22:38These are my eyes, B-Miz.
22:40Now, this is the reason why I don't wear trunks, okay?
22:47I think the best fan could be the best wrestler.
22:50I'm a fan.
22:51I mean, I wouldn't be here if I wasn't a fan.
22:53This is the opportunity of a lifetime, and it's great.
22:58I am Chris Naraki.
23:04I'm from Syosset, New York, which is on Long Island.
23:07I grew up in a family of five.
23:09I have two brothers.
23:11As a little kid, I was really into sports.
23:13It was nonstop.
23:14My parents drive me to different sporting events
23:16and things like that.
23:17I began playing the guitar in eighth grade,
23:19and I'd say around 10th grade, I started writing my own songs.
23:22And that's where I found that I had the gift to improvise music.
23:25I just knew coming in here that that was going to be my kicker.
23:33I just knew coming in here that that was going to be my kicker.
23:47That was the thing I had to do.
23:48And when Al had me do it the first day, I was like, yes, this is it.
23:52I know.
23:52Why don't you improvise us a song right now there, Christopher?
23:55Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan.
23:58Boom, boom, boom.
24:00All men came to L.A.
24:04Watched the porn with the girl last night.
24:08I am Chris Naraki, the womanizer.
24:12Your first challenge begins now.
24:19We all expected to see, like, you know, a whole bunch of superstars.
24:22You are to sprint up to the top of this ramp.
24:26I was like, great, I'm going to go 150%.
24:28And then I found that we were only doing a couple sprints.
24:31Go, go, go!
24:32And we got Nick sitting there walking through the whole thing.
24:35I'm getting picked.
24:36This is the way I feed my family.
24:37You understand?
24:38I'm not going to make that kind of investment in you
24:40and then have you walk out.
24:42I had really bad back spasms.
24:43You want to be in this business?
24:46Prove it now.
24:48Still want this, Nick?
24:49Is there anybody in the superstore?
24:52I threw it pretty bad there.
24:54Immediately after that, we all were given a large bowl of pasta
24:58and a bottle of milk.
25:00And they were like, all right, you guys got 10 minutes to finish it.
25:03What?
25:03I just threw up, and I was like, man, there's no way.
25:05I'm going to eat, like, one of these noodles and throw up again.
25:08I knew they were going to feed us and run us more.
25:11The pepperonis?
25:12Oh, my God.
25:13Tastes like jalapenos.
25:15I just don't think they put enough cheese.
25:18I just blew everyone away, just scarfed all the food down.
25:20Ryan Reeves won the eating contest.
25:23Let's move on to the next challenge.
25:24We went back to the squatting and the push-ups and the suicides, you know.
25:29In the middle of one of our final suicides, we heard our entrance music come on.
25:32Let's go, guys.
25:34Follow me.
25:34Follow me.
25:35This is all for a chance to be a WWE superstar.
25:39It's showtime, folks.
25:41May I introduce to you Mr. Kurt Angle.
25:51The man who stands alone, who does the most squat thrust tonight, wins the special prize.
25:57Starting now.
25:59I was doing them correctly.
26:00I just wasn't doing too many of them.
26:02In my head, I'm just like, don't puke.
26:03Don't puke.
26:04Just keep alive.
26:05I had perfect form.
26:06And Naraki was dying.
26:07He wasn't even doing it.
26:08Chris Naraki picks up the victory.
26:11So what's the special prize?
26:13You're going to have your very first match right here tonight, St. Louis.
26:18Wow.
26:20Against...
26:21None other than your Olympic hero, Kurt Angle.
26:24I was like, Kurt Angle against Chris Naraki.
26:29Kurt Angle, an Olympic gold medalist, is manhandling Naraki right now.
26:33Nice toilet.
26:34And it's over.
26:36That was quick.
26:37Kurt Angle makes quick work of Chris Naraki.
26:40You want to get in the ring?
26:42You want to get in the ring?
26:43I guess Kurt's not through.
26:44You want to get in the ring with me?
26:45Get your in the ring.
26:47Here's Daniel.
26:47Hold up.
26:48Pewter just volunteered to get in the ring.
26:50I'll tell you what, he might have the old proverbial more guts than brains.
26:53And Kurt Angle backing Daniel Pewter into the corner.
26:57He's got a key lock there, Pewter.
26:58Trying to get a key lock on Angle.
27:01Doors are down.
27:02And this one is over.
27:04Daniel Pewter eliminated by the Olympic gold medalist, Kurt Angle.
27:08And so much for the UFC.
27:11Until they prove to me that they belong here, I'm not going to like them.
27:14I'm not going to respect them.
27:15They're going to have to prove it to me, and they haven't yet.
27:18Somewhere during this match between me and Kurt,
27:21I actually suffered a fractured rib.
27:24I didn't know when Chris's ribs were hurt.
27:26That's what this sport's all about.
27:27They're at the hospital till 4 in the morning.
27:30These guys don't even realize what's in front of them.
27:33They have no idea what it's like to be in this business.
27:38We celebrate birthdays here.
27:40I feel like every day should be Al's birthday.
27:42Happy birthday to you!
27:45When we go out, it's always his birthday.
27:47Happy birthday to you!
27:51Being with you guys has pretty much aged me a lot.
27:54Even when we go on the airplane.
27:55It's Al's birthday.
27:56Happy birthday to you!
27:59We're on Al's 55th birthday so far.
28:02What's a birthday without presents?
28:04You saw a garage sale.
28:05Let's stop and see what they have.
28:07There's a little jewelry box.
28:09Keep his earrings in.
28:10I got Al a little head here.
28:12Figured because it was his gimmick years ago.
28:14What does everybody want?
28:15Head!
28:16Al, you look great for 57th.
28:18I don't understand what you're saying.
28:21I don't speak idiot.
28:23Not one of them knows my real birthday.
28:24Keep dressing them up.
28:25You can't take a minute.
28:26Happy birthday to you!
28:30Whoa!
28:36I grew up in Cupertino, California.
28:42Cupertino is in Northern California, north of San Jose.
28:46I had a great family.
28:48As a kid, I wasn't too good of a student.
28:50I had ADD.
28:51Back then I had problems reading.
28:53That was kind of hard to struggle through, but I've gotten past that.
28:56I go to Menlo College in Atherton, California.
28:58It's studying business.
28:59This was going to be my last year in college, but it's going to be pushed back a little bit.
29:04I have a non-profit strength training program for youth that I've tried to help youth out around my city.
29:11I've always loved athletics and gotten to wrestling.
29:13After sixth grade, moved on to high school wrestling.
29:16I was top in the state of California my senior year.
29:19I wrestled one year in college.
29:20I hurt my arm, so I've been doing ultimate fighting.
29:32A little razzing I like because when my coaches push me, I keep going for them.
29:37I was a little nervous.
29:38I cut a horrible promo first promo.
29:40Thing is, Rock, I'm a forgiving man, and I want to forgive you.
29:45I'm not going to forgive you.
29:46Rock, let me tell you about my hobbies.
29:47Hang on a minute.
29:48See that guy behind you?
29:49We're more excited about him crawling up the sand than your promo.
29:54Then we went into Saturday, and Saturday ended up I got the fastest time on the course.
30:00See that girl laying on the beach over there?
30:02They asked me to go pick up a girl down the beach.
30:05Would you want to go out sometime?
30:06We could go downtown.
30:07Do you want to take a walk back with me?
30:08Um.
30:10I'd really appreciate it.
30:11Thank you very much.
30:12I'm so embarrassed.
30:13Oh my gosh.
30:14Did you agree to go out with this guy?
30:15Yes.
30:16You did.
30:17Why?
30:18He's cute.
30:21Sold American.
30:22I'm going to get leaner.
30:23I'm going to get a little bigger.
30:25If the fans like me, that's great.
30:28If they don't, I'm still going to work my butt off.
30:30One way or another, I'm going to get to do pro wrestling.
30:34My name is Silverback Ryan Reeves from Las Vegas, Nevada.
30:37I'd have to say my major obsession is food here.
30:41I constantly need to be eating Ryan Reeves' appetite.
30:45He eats forever.
30:46The way he eats is just amazing because he just keeps pouring in it and he gets out of breath.
30:52He breaks a sweat eating.
30:54What did I take earlier today?
30:56Every meal is my best meal.
30:58Oh yeah.
30:58It's almost like he's getting a workout every time he eats.
31:01Were you disappointed there was no meal served on a fight?
31:03Uh, I had a little bag of pretzels along with my sandwich.
31:05Nice.
31:06I'll carry food with me all the time.
31:07But back at home, I'll have shakes in my car already made and I'll cook tuna fish or chicken
31:12in a little bowl and go with me somewhere in case I get hungry.
31:15That's a problem.
31:17I don't know.
31:17I'm an animal.
31:18Born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada.
31:22Lived there my whole life.
31:23Had a great childhood, a great mother, a great father.
31:26I was a good kid.
31:27Good morals.
31:28I kept my mom busy, I can say that.
31:32It definitely would be bodybuilding.
31:34I started, probably I was around 12 years old, I just started lifting.
31:37Every night I do push-ups, squats, crunches before bed.
31:41Like for an hour, like two hours at a time.
31:43It's a passion of mine, just like wrestling is.
31:45Don't touch my goal, don't hustle.
31:47Let's go, let's go!
31:49Go, Brian, go!
31:50Over, go!
31:51Don't fucking have to move, Brian.
31:53It's said that this is a competition and every week it's going to get fiercer and fiercer.
31:56This is, you know, for a million dollars and you've got to be ready for anything.
32:00Now it's just as passion in a heart.
32:03No!
32:04If you open your mouth, you're fine.
32:05How did they open my mouth?
32:07Yo, that's not my shit.
32:07What shit you got out of the plane?
32:09No talk to me.
32:10So traveling with six or seven large children is like traveling with six or seven large children.
32:14Let's get it started when we're out of here.
32:17It's insane.
32:18I need a lot of gas.
32:22And not to mention, if I happen to turn my head, one's over in the shop.
32:27I think you just got us all frosties.
32:29One's up at the ticket counter.
32:30Getting off the plane in Atlanta.
32:33One's over here talking to somebody.
32:35Computer on his phone again.
32:36Computer still on the phone?
32:37On the phone.
32:38Okay.
32:38One's over there.
32:40And it's like I've got to gather them all up, get them in a line, and get them on the plane.
32:45All right, I got to go.
32:46All right.
32:47We're about to head to our third SmackDown.
32:50And this one's going to be a little different because this one will actually be the first
32:54time that one of the contestants will be eliminated.
32:57Ladies and gentlemen, the Torrey Wilson sex test.
33:03I am sex, baby.
33:04All right.
33:05I'm from Texas, so I'm getting some Wranglers.
33:06I'm going to cut the butt out of them.
33:07With the bling bling going, you know.
33:09But before we get to the action, let's find out who's going to go.
33:15Nick Mitchell, you've been cut.
33:18I was stunned.
33:19Reality set in.
33:24I'm very surprised because I don't have as many friends as I thought I had out there.
33:31It's upsetting, but it happens, and it's my birthday today, so happy birthday to me.
33:39Sorry it didn't work out, but you'll see me one day.
33:43I mean, that's how it works, and I don't know.
33:48That's about it.
33:48Now, the Torrey Wilson sex test.
33:59The person that you will be making out with is WWE Diva.
34:05You know, I was expecting one of those little hot honeys.
34:09May Young.
34:11I didn't want to see them come down that ring.
34:13Fantastic.
34:15Lovely.
34:15May, you have 15 seconds with each one of these guys.
34:21I love older people.
34:22A computer.
34:23God, stop.
34:23He's tough enough, Cole.
34:24I'm telling you.
34:25Angie said a little peck.
34:27A little peck.
34:27Oh, my God.
34:29Oh, my God.
34:30She's like a pit bull.
34:32She's trying to grab my booty.
34:34They're giving a new meaning to the word necking.
34:36Some of them actually did slip her the tongue.
34:38Holy cheese.
34:40Stop.
34:40All right, May.
34:42Which one is the winner?
34:43My favorite outfit was Daniel in the white suit.
34:46Oh, whoa.
34:47Pewter.
34:48Then she gave me a lap dance, which I think is awesome, because nobody's ever going to get
34:51a lap dance from her again.
34:53I think we've seen enough.
34:54Yeah, please.
34:54I tap out.
34:56I believe it's important that the guys set up the ring so that they kind of pay their dues
35:01a little bit, and they learn to respect everybody.
35:04You know, it's hard work.
35:05We come at 9 in the morning.
35:06We're till 1, 2 in the morning.
35:08Go, Dorothy.
35:09There's a lot of guys.
35:10That's how they got into the business, just setting up the ring and taking it down.
35:12I think anybody who's worth their salt at one time or another has set up the ring and
35:17taken it down.
35:22It's time for the Tough Enough competition.
35:26But before we begin the Tough Enough competition, one of you have been eliminated.
35:33Obviously, we know it's not going to be me.
35:35I think Ryan really wants Pewter to go home.
35:38We all kind of knew he was getting voted off that week, and we all turned out to be right.
35:41The eliminated contestant is Chris Narocki.
35:46It was very sad to see him go.
35:48Everybody's just crossing their fingers it's not them the next week.
35:50There's not one thing in particular I'm going to miss.
35:56I mean, it's like the whole thing together, you know, between the training, coming here
36:01and traveling, camaraderie between, you know, all the different contestants, you know, spending
36:07time with Bill and Al, learning from their expertise, you know, that was just like, it's
36:11like a dream come true, it's like a wrestling fan and somebody that's wanted to get into
36:15wrestling their whole life.
36:16So, you know, leaving that behind, it's disappointing and it's upsetting, but I can't go out there
36:23right now because I'm out.
36:24One of them will be a millionaire and best of luck to the guy that wins a million dollars
36:34because it's not going to get easier.
36:36Now, the five finalists remain, led to the ring by Al Snow.
36:49You're going to have your chance to prove just how hard you will fight for that WWE brass ring.
36:56Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce to you, the Basham Brothers.
37:00The goal was to get by them and capture the flag in 30 seconds.
37:03I've been dedicating my life for the past two and a half years trying to get a WWE contract.
37:08I really do want this.
37:10I'm all heart.
37:11I want this more than life itself.
37:13I belong here in this business.
37:15One day, I hope to have you fans chanting my name, Silverback, in that ring.
37:19What an effort by Ryan Reeves.
37:22If I had about five more seconds, I would have the flag.
37:24It takes a few things to be a WWE superstar.
37:27Strength, charisma, and heart.
37:29Look at the strength of this kid.
37:31You guys might call me cocky, but I'm just confident.
37:33I don't know if you realize how much time is left, but what an effort.
37:36I'm 6'8", 285 pounds.
37:39Real tough guys.
37:40Don't talk about it.
37:41They be about it.
37:41I wanted this all my life.
37:43I'm going to put it down, and that's what's up.
37:45I used to eat, sleep, and fight in a cage.
37:48I think I'm the best athlete out of all these guys.
37:50It is about earning a contract with WWE, and I'm here to give it my all.
37:56I came real close to getting the flag.
37:57What an effort by Daniel Pewter and all these Tough Enough finalists.
38:01I think all of us pretty much left everything we had out there on the mat.
38:08Ladies and gentlemen, your Tough Enough competitors.
38:13Well, one of these finalists will be eliminated.
38:15We don't know which one.
38:17We'll be down to four tonight.
38:18After last week's competition, Ryan Reeves, you suffered two broken ribs.
38:24And I'm required to ask you, do you wish to quit Tough Enough?
38:29The reason why I call myself Silverback, because a Silverback is a leader of the pack.
38:35And I am the leader of this Tough Enough pack.
38:38And leaders don't quit, and neither do I.
38:40All right, let's find out who has been eliminated this week.
38:50Daniel Rodeheimer, I'm sorry.
38:53You've been eliminated.
38:59Yeah, I felt my stomach drop.
39:02Very surprised.
39:03Very surprised.
39:04This is a dream I've always had for my whole life.
39:06And, you know, unfortunately, this right now is not the time.
39:13Walking out into the crowd of 20,000 people, that was the ultimate rush.
39:20That was the best experience I've ever had in my life.
39:24I'm going to miss that the most.
39:25But that's just going to push me to make it back up to this level someday.
39:33I will definitely be back.
39:36We are now down to four Tough Enough competitors.
39:40This week, you're going to go head to head with each other.
39:45An arm wrestling competition.
39:47How can I beat these guys?
39:48I'm going to make against Miz first.
39:50Mike, we understand you're left-handed, but you will be required to compete with your right hand.
39:55The winner of each of these contests will then face each other to determine the winner of tonight's Tough Enough competition.
40:04Gentlemen, please assume your position.
40:06If I spit in my hand, he might not want to arm wrestle me anymore.
40:09He's trying to act like a badass.
40:11It doesn't do it for me.
40:12He's not.
40:13And Pewter, easy work of Mike Mizanin.
40:19And I agree with you, it's not fair.
40:21That was cake.
40:22They didn't f*** me off.
40:23The kid sat there and smiled at me like, I got you in the bag.
40:25You're nothing.
40:26Justice Smith, Ryan Reeves, assume your positions.
40:30Well, this here, I've got a lot of beef right here.
40:33I've got to go with Silverback.
40:35He's a bull.
40:35He's got broken ribs, though.
40:36Don't forget.
40:37He's huge.
40:38Justice is a very, very strong guy.
40:40I was a little concerned.
40:41Here we go.
40:42Winner here will face Daniel Pewter.
40:44Oh, we've got a good one, Cole.
40:45Justice is pulling Ryan into him.
40:47Look at Ryan Reeves trying to use all his weight.
40:49And that's legal.
40:50You can use a lot.
40:50And Reeves does it.
40:51I know it took a lot out of him, and it took a lot out of me right there.
40:54So, Ryan Reeves will face off with Daniel Pewter.
40:58I was a little scared going against Ryan.
41:00Ryan's a big boy.
41:01Daniel Pewter, he's a great conditioned athlete.
41:04And he has the fans on his side right now.
41:06This is going to be good, Cole.
41:07Ryan Reeves, of course, with perhaps the strength advantage here,
41:10at least the size advantage.
41:11That's the size.
41:12And Pewter's trying to hang it.
41:14Size don't mean nothing.
41:14And look at Daniel Pewter.
41:16Pewter's going to do it.
41:17Daniel Pewter.
41:18I didn't think he was that hard.
41:20Pewter beat me fair and square.
41:21Pewter, he put Miz down so fast, it was not even a waste of energy.
41:24I love Amazek.
41:25Your winner of tonight's 10-foot-off competition,
41:30Daniel.
41:31Pewter!
41:33I enjoy winning, too.
41:35Earlier today, we gave each of the contestants 30 seconds to say who they would vote on and exactly why.
41:43Daniel Pewter.
41:44That's easy.
41:45It would be Daniel Pewter.
41:46Daniel Pewter.
41:47I thought it was hilarious and knew that they were just all scared of me at that point.
41:52Now, don't get me wrong.
41:53Daniel is a great athlete.
41:55He's been strong throughout this whole competition.
41:57But the fact of the matter is, he has his head so far up Bill and Al's butts that he's turning his blonde hair brown.
42:04He doesn't have anything else on me.
42:06I mean, none of them do.
42:07And so they have to make up some goofy-ass reasons that my hair is turning brown because my head's so far up Bill and Al's ass.
42:14Knowing how to work or charm people can come across as being a bit of a suck-ass.
42:19And there were times that I thought that if I stopped too fast that Daniel's head would be so far up my rectum,
42:23I'd need a glass stomach so that he could see where he was going.
42:25It's always about Pewter.
42:27And so I think a lot of people don't like that about him.
42:29Every day we hear it every day about how good I am and how, you know, how bad we are.
42:36Every single day, Justice has a reason why he can't do something.
42:41Then he sits on the ground and Bill and Al get on him and start hitting him.
42:45And he gets pissed off at me because they never beat up on me.
42:50Confidence should not be verbalized.
42:54My confidence level is not arrogant.
42:56I'm not cocky at all.
42:57I go out there and I get the job done.
43:00Oh!
43:01Whoa!
43:01Pewter!
43:02Pewter's gonna do it!
43:04Daniel Pewter!
43:05Fortune favored Dan in almost every single competition.
43:09And so that started to bring about a little bit of animosity.
43:12I mean, this is a competition.
43:13I'd vote off Justice.
43:15The reason is, is he's the biggest guy here.
43:18He comes out.
43:20He has a lot of charisma coming out.
43:23But he hasn't proven himself as being the biggest guy.
43:25So-called, he's been a tough guy on another show and he used to be doing the Battle Dome.
43:31But when he came out here against the Bastion Brothers, he was on the ground squirming, not doing anything.
43:37Well, now that we've found out who the competitors would eliminate, let's find out who the worldwide audience has eliminated this week.
43:50Ryan Reeves, I'm sorry.
43:53You've been eliminated.
43:54Wow.
43:55Ryan Reeves, a pack of his bags.
43:56We're down to three.
43:57Justice Smith, Mike Mazan, and Daniel Pewter survive yet another week.
44:01I can tell you without a doubt that out of the, you know, the remaining contestants, I probably wanted this more than any single one of them.
44:08I've dreamed of doing this my whole life and I don't think any of them could say the same thing.
44:18Tonight's competition, we're going to find out who's tough enough to be in touch with your feminine side.
44:26I was looking forward to dressing like a woman because I knew I was going to win the competition.
44:30Oh, my God.
44:31Oh, this is a little weird.
44:34I almost fell like five times walking out there.
44:37Oh, my.
44:38Hey, I thought it was justice.
44:40Dressing up as a woman was fun.
44:42I enjoyed it.
44:43Oh, my.
44:45That is really Dan, right?
44:46I did the best I could.
44:48I got the biggest boobs I could find.
44:50I got the smallest little mini skirt I could find.
44:52I was blowing some bubbles out there.
44:54But Miz started catching them, which was funny.
44:57Up until, like, that day, Al thought he was going in.
44:59So we were all messing with him.
45:01Al, I'm going to grab your butt.
45:03You can see Al just getting creeped out by the whole situation.
45:06May I introduce to you...
45:09Hardcore Howie!
45:13I just stood there like, oh, my God.
45:16And then they're like, all right, Mike.
45:17Now hit on him.
45:19You each have 30 seconds to convince the audience that you're a woman.
45:24And that Hardcore Howie is the object of your affection.
45:32Hardcore.
45:34You love bashing people.
45:37Can you bash this?
45:39All I hear is Hargo being like, touch me.
45:42Touch me.
45:43And you just feel it tensing up.
45:45And he's shaking like he's ready to knock me out.
45:48I've been talking to your mom.
45:50And she told me that you like crump juice.
45:53And you like lobsters.
45:56Hardcore Howie, I brought you a pewter bear.
45:59And every night when you sleep next to my bear,
46:02you're going to have a smile on your face and pewter in your mind.
46:08When I handed him the bear, I didn't know if he was going to take it
46:11or if he was going to go along with the whole thing
46:13because that's not his style usually.
46:15Now it is your chance to decide who you think is the best female.
46:22Your winner is Michelle Mazanin.
46:29I feel sorry for women.
46:31I know what women feel like now.
46:32Well, it's decision time.
46:36Who will be eliminated tonight?
46:38Soon, we'll be down to just two finalists in the $1 million Toughen Up.
46:44Ladies and gentlemen, your three remaining Toughen Up contestants.
46:49Mike Mazanin, Justice Smith, Daniel Pewter.
46:56Let's find out who has been eliminated this week.
47:02Justice Smith, I'm sorry, you've been eliminated.
47:08I felt a little disappointment.
47:09I wanted to see Daniel Pewter in the final boxing match.
47:12I thought the world might have wanted to see an ultimate fighter
47:15take on this martial artist.
47:17Guess not.
47:18You know, I guess they wanted to see males who has no skills in boxing
47:21or martial arts take on Daniel Pewter who might just kill him.
47:26I really respect those who voted for me, supported me, you know, cared for me.
47:30Thank you very much.
47:32I definitely want a contract.
47:34I definitely want to pursue this as a career.
47:37It's just been a high honor just to be here.
47:40Not to say it's over.
47:41This is just the beginning.
47:42Once you take a walk down this road and you get in the ring, you know it's for real.
47:48I want to cry, you know, definitely, but I came in here smiling, I'm leaving smiling, baby.
48:01Look at the jaw jacking going on.
48:09Hold on, a pewter got in Mizana's face.
48:11Pewter's not playing.
48:13I saw him kiss my ass.
48:15He's in there looking at me like giving me his pewter look like he's stepping up to me.
48:18He's laughing in his face like he's going to do something.
48:20We're not an octagon anymore, buddy.
48:22We're stepping in a squared circle.
48:24That's my house.
48:25We're stepping in my reality.
48:26Tonight, you're going to have your chance to get it on right there in that ring.
48:31Here's your chance to show your endurance, your balance, and your power.
48:37So this is a joust, so to speak.
48:39I think it's safe to say this is the first in the WWE.
48:42I'm sitting there thinking, like, I've done this before on one of my challenges, and so
48:46I was like, all right, well, I can do this good.
48:48It's a two out of three falls competition.
48:51The first contestant who knocks his opponent off the pedestal twice will be declared the
48:56winner.
48:56All I've got to do is feel him and what he's doing and just let him do whatever he's got
48:59to do, and he'll get off balance and he'll fall.
49:02Gentlemen, are you ready?
49:03When we were up there, he started pushing on me.
49:07I was going to try to push him, because I figure if you go side to side, it leaves you
49:12open.
49:13This is all balance.
49:14That's what the deal is.
49:15That's what you're testing with the joust.
49:18And the defense is eliminated.
49:20So Peter is up one fall.
49:23And then the next time, I kind of tried to do the same thing, but I tried to push back
49:28more, but as I pushed back more, he pushed me back.
49:30And so I tried to get into his joust, but that didn't work.
49:34I was already off balance and just went down.
49:36Ball number two, Mizanin must win this ball here.
49:38He's going again.
49:39Mizanin down easily.
49:40Daniel Pewter survives the joust.
49:42Too easy for Pewter.
49:43Too easy.
49:44Ladies and gentlemen, your winner, Daniel Pewter.
49:49It was fun.
49:51They knocked Miz off a couple times pretty quick.
49:53It was not hard.
49:54The two remaining finalists will compete at the Armageddon pay-per-view in a regulation
50:02boxing match called a Dixie Dog fight.
50:06Pewter's an ultimate fighter.
50:07He's boxed before.
50:08I mean, I've boxed here and there, but it's been about six years since I've been in the
50:12ring and actually took a punch.
50:13I've trained in ultimate fighting for six years.
50:17I've done boxing.
50:17I've done kickboxing.
50:18I'm going to give them a show.
50:22And now, ladies and gentlemen, I will introduce to you first, from Cleveland, Ohio, at 210 pounds,
50:34Mike Mizanin.
50:35This past week, I've been hearing people say, Mike, this guy's bigger than you.
50:41He's boxed before.
50:42He's an ultimate fighter.
50:44You're an underdog.
50:46So the fact of the matter is, the underdog is going to have some bite.
50:51Eat it, Pewter.
50:53And here's the opponent from Carpentino, California, at 230 pounds, Daniel Pewter.
51:03Mike, there are two pains in life.
51:04My right and my left.
51:06Tonight, you're going to feel both of them.
51:08And I create referee stoppage, so watch out.
51:11I'm definitely the underdog.
51:12I think the audience wants me to win, but in the same sense, I think they feel that I'm
51:17going to lose.
51:19There's a lot of pressure.
51:20I mean, everyone was like, oh, you have to kick the Miz's ass.
51:22You have to beat him up.
51:25Both athletes look to be in pretty good condition.
51:27I'll tell you, they've got to have a lot of nerves.
51:29Before a fight or something like that, I get a little nervous.
51:31You know, it's always good to have those nerves keeping you on your toes.
51:33I'm nervous.
51:34I'm scared.
51:35Anytime you get in a fight, you're always going to be scared.
51:37But the thing is, that's what being Miz is all about.
51:39Like, when I say the Miz, you know, people are like, oh, what's that, da, da, da.
51:42It's like a state of being.
51:43It's, I turn that fear, I turn all that nervous energy into adrenaline.
51:47And it just builds up, builds up until it explodes.
51:49And that's what I plan on doing in the ring.
51:50I plan on exploding and just being pure Miz.
51:53And here we go with the Dixie dogfight.
51:57Here we go.
51:57Wow, right at him.
51:58Right at him.
51:59You see, look at Mizanin taking it to Pewter right on.
52:02Mike Mizanin taking it to Daniel Pewter.
52:04And Pewter battling back as well.
52:06And Pewter caught him with a left hand as the referee calls for a break.
52:09When the belt first rang, I was like, crap, uh-oh.
52:12Here it comes.
52:13Here we go.
52:13So when he started throwing punches, I just started throwing punches right back.
52:16And it ended up being almost like a barroom brawl.
52:19Miz right there, Al, he's not backing down.
52:21No, he's got a ton of heart.
52:23I'm used to three or five-minute rounds just based on, you know, ultimate fighting.
52:28Most of my ultimate fighting experience was on the ground or just kicking.
52:33My hands are the weakest, but I love to do it.
52:36Big right hand by Daniel Pewter.
52:37Oh, I'm thinking Miz might be going for a little trip.
52:40Oh, look at Miz!
52:41I'm back!
52:42Miz with the left hand.
52:43Oh!
52:43They're shutting him behind!
52:47Oh, that's a rabbit punch, right?
52:48Rabbit punch by Pewter.
52:49He was moving.
52:50I thought he was going to turn around and come right back at me.
52:52They didn't split it up.
52:53It barely touched him because as soon as I saw that he wasn't going to turn around, I pulled it.
52:58Now Miz is going to lay back.
53:00He's a little overly aggressive.
53:01Absolutely.
53:02And he's going to blow himself up.
53:03He's going to punch himself out.
53:04I got winded really quick.
53:06I got gassed out.
53:07Second round, I was dead.
53:09Miz was absolutely gassed out.
53:12You could see in his face.
53:13He was just staying there.
53:14So I started pushing him.
53:15I saw it.
53:15I started going after him.
53:18There's no knockout.
53:19It's going to be up to the great fans to decide this match.
53:22Will it be Mike Mazzetta?
53:27Will it be Daniel Pewter?
53:30Well, it seems to me that we have a winner here tonight.
53:37Daniel Pewter!
53:38But that does not mean Daniel Pewter wins Tough Enough.
53:43Next Thursday night, Nashville, Tennessee, we will crown the $1 million Tough Enough winner.
53:49We started this $1 million Tough Enough with thousands of entrants.
53:55We took those thousands of entrants down to eight contestants.
53:59And you, the audience, have taken it down to two finalists.
54:02But there can only be one winner of the $1 million Tough Enough Challenge.
54:08Feels pretty damn good that I made it to the end.
54:10It's quite an honor to sit there and have these guys that are 6'9", 385, and then come
54:14in and being the smallest guy, the underdog, and taking it all the way to the top.
54:18It's just an honor.
54:19It's probably the only night in my whole life that I haven't slept too long.
54:22Let's find out who receives that $1 million contract.
54:27I was just looking at him.
54:29He was looking at us.
54:30And I was like, whoa.
54:31This is going to happen in a second.
54:35Daniel Pewter, you are Tough Enough.
54:41This is what my final goal was to do.
54:46I'm very happy.
54:48I've worked hard and I've done what I want to do.
54:50I've made my dream work for him.
54:52So, I'm on my way.
54:55Michael, you came a long way out of thousands of people.
54:58You've made it all the way here.
55:00The audience decided that Daniel was Tough Enough and you weren't.
55:04How do you feel?
55:06I mean, obviously, this sucks.
55:09But, Pewter, you did an amazing job.
55:11You did a great job in all the competitions.
55:13And I've been doing this for two and a half years, trying to wrestle, trying to get into WWE.
55:17This past eight weeks, I've learned that this is where I want to be.
55:20Mike, I knew from the very beginning, was probably my hardest competition.
55:25If I had to do anything over it, I really wouldn't do anything.
55:27I think everything is what it was.
55:29And it was the best of my ability.
55:31I think I could have promoted myself, like Pewter, a little bit more.
55:34But that's not the way I wanted to play this game.
55:36You know, in the contest, I wasn't always the strongest guy.
55:39I wasn't always the biggest guy.
55:40But I always put all my energy and all my heart and all my passion for this business into everything I did.
55:45Just because I lost this battle doesn't mean I lost the war.
55:47I'm going to keep on trying and trying and trying until I get that WWE contract that I want so bad.
55:52How would you like to have the chance to main event WrestleMania 21?
56:01I would love it.
56:03I would.
56:03Well, you have an opportunity because before I came out here, I spoke to Theodore Long, and you've been officially entered in the 30-man, over-the-top rope Royal Rumble.
56:14It's crazy.
56:16I can't believe they're going to have me do that.
56:18But that's awesome.
56:19I want to do it.
56:20The biggest challenge in coaching and mentoring the Tough Enough contestants is really finding out who they really are and letting them find out who they really are.
56:29And if this is something that they really, truly want to do, if they truly have a passion for it.
56:34I've learned a lot from the WWE.
56:36I figured out what I want to become and what I'm willing to do to get there.
56:41I couldn't be happier for him.
56:42He's a great kid, and I really expect big things from him.
56:45I think that he's going to be in this business for a very long time and make me very proud.
56:49I've always had enough money to do what I wanted to do.
56:52Not a million dollars.
56:54But, you know, this feels awesome.
56:56I can't believe that I'm here.
56:58I barely made the top eight just because I didn't show too much personality in those two days until I went and picked up the chick on the beach.
57:05Now I'm here, number one.
57:07I beat everybody out.
57:08Sounds good.
57:12Back home.
57:30Back home.
57:30Back home.
57:52Back home.
58:15She's stuck up, so he's gone
58:18And she can't look away
58:20She's still dead, she's gone
58:21Don't walk her back from the light
58:24That's beyond the point of hope
58:26Recover the road
58:29And come back home
58:31Recover the road
58:34And just come back home
58:38Oh
58:45Oh
58:47Oh
