Footage shown from Tough Enough 1 featuring Nowinski and Snow and the rest of the gang at Harvard.
Chris Nowinski joins the show.
How is he feeling? He’s had a great week. He’s been involved with the ‘Smackdown your vote’ campaign. He just got back from the ‘Rock your vote’ five day bus tour visiting colleges and getting the word out. Monday, he and Mark Henry spoke to students at Sacred Heart University. They were in Miami before that hosting the Foley vs. JBL debate. Lloyd said he agreed with JBL’s views to which Josh said no one cares about Lloyd’s political views. Nowinski puts over his columns on Smackdownyourvote.com. Says the young people have no voice in politics and they can do something about it by voting.
Thoughts on Tough Enough 4? He is excited. He remembers himself and Josh fighting on the first Tough Enough for something less than a million dollars. Says he feels bad for the guys taking part because they are going to get the snot beaten out of them. He’s been noticing a trend going on that at each TE series they keep trying make it harder and harder. He says the first Tough Enough was difficult because they didn’t know what to expect, but now they know that they’ll be obstacle courses etc. He’s interested to know how long they last.
Thoughts on Training with Al Snow? He brings wealth of wisdom and a beating everyday. He would sit with you after you work hard and tell you about the business, but only after you proved to him that you were worth it. These guys can expect nothing but beatings the first few weeks and after they have proven themselves, Al will probably tell them the inner workings of the WWE.
Josh brings up how the fans decide who will be the next Tough Enough champion. He mentions that if the fans voted on the first one, Nowinski would be the first one eliminated. NOwinski says he thought Josh was going to say that he would be the one to win. Doesn’t think they should have voted then. Doesn’t know why the fans turned on him in Tough Enough, bringing up an incident in the Bahamas that could have triggered that.
Caller… no one on the line.
When will he be back in the ring? Doctors have told him after he gets through a few months without having any symptoms, they can discuss wrestling. Otherwise, he would be setting himself up for disaster. Right now, he’s gone a week without having any headaches. He’s still on medication so he hopes to get off that as well.
Is he still writing a book? Yes, he is. He will be writing about preventing non-catastrophic injuries in sports. He will be trying to get word out on his concussions and how kids his age are not properly taken care of. He’s been trying to make something good out of his situation.
Try with the first caller again… No luck again. Nowinski jokes that he will go all the way to Canada to find this girl (caller). Josh says he cant take the SYV campaign to Canada because they have no say in what happens in the elections to which both Nowinski and Lloyd pick on him and thank him for his insight.
Nowinski leaves the show.
