Steve Austin to host WWE’s ‘Tough Enough’ (updated)

“Stone Cold” Steve Austin is returning to WWE television in a fulltime role.

Austin has signed on to be the host of “Tough Enough,” the WWE reality series that is being brought back after a several-year hiatus. The premiere episode of the new “Tough Enough” is scheduled to air on April 4 after Raw on USA Network.

Entertainment Weekly's website broke the news about Austin hosting the show earlier today, and WWE subsequently made an official announcement on wwe.com.

By bringing in a heavy hitter such as Austin to host the show, it’s obvious that making “Tough Enough” a success is a priority for WWE.

HELL YEAH

That's awesome!

Dear God I hope this leads to Austin getting back into wrestling shape and facing the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 2012 when the Undertaker goes 20-0.

What, am I getting ahead of myself?

Is this the end for NXT?

i am so exiting that the steve austin will come on wwe mania 2012 i am and my fds are waiting 4 him

Kev, do you know if Tough Enough is airing over here in the U.K? Thanks.

RESPONSE FROM KE: Not sure.

Most Excellent

Hey Kevin just wanted to let you know im a big fan read you everyday out here in colorado keep up the good work Troy

It will be interesting to see if Tough Enough will have an "Edgier" style to it with Austin at the helm. I remember reading in recent Austin interviews that he felt that his character just didn't "fit in" to today's WWE.

Kevin, do you think WWE will keep this show strictly PG? ... or perhaps allow Stone Cold to verbally open up a can on the contestants?

RESPONSE FROM KE: I could see WWE perhaps loosening up a bit for this show, but I doubt that it will be Attitude Era edgy.

hell yyyyyeeeaaahhhh !!!!!
