Why aren't WWE Tough Enough wrestlers new with no EXP?

I been thinking the same thing. I think USA is looking for rating on teaching celebrities to wrestle.

I have two, somewhat related, thoughts on this. First, it's probably better to have experienced wrestlers look worse than they really are for the purposes of the show than try to have complete noobs try to look good. Second, in order to capitalise on their Tough Enough win they need to be on tv fairly quickly, if they have no prior experience it will take too long to get them ready for real matches and the momentum will be lost.

your 2nd point i think sums it up, didnt think of it like that but i think that may be the case

There are some people on the show who had LOTS of wrestling experience, theres a MMA guy on their too I believe.

It's same casting as most reality shows. Notice on a show like survivor how there's always the people in the cast who you can't believe actually made it onto the show cause they suck, this WWE reality show is no diff lol. Though all that matters is the winner of the show. As long as the winner of the show ends up being a great person then it's good, and with Trish,Booker and Austin as trainers and this being non scripted like NXT, the best person will end up winning
