"Tough Enough?"

Does anyone know who won the series of Tough Enough before the one that was shown on Smackdown?

I remember a bloke called Matt who i wanted to win and a bloke i think was called Jonah and they all used to wind up Al Snow and Bill DeMott by playing pranks on each other and stuff, like taking all of the tyres off of Als jeep.

Anyone know who won that series? I think it used to be on Sky One but i havent seen it for a while?

I seem to remember he wrestled as the Prototype on Smackdown. It was probably for a night or 2. I don't think it was very long before he was quickly repackaged as Cena though.

The "Prototype" gimmick was just in OVW, was it not?
I remember on his debut he confronted Kurt Angle.
Kurt asked "Who the hell are you?"
And Cena replied in the most ridiculous voice "I'm JOHN CENA!"
At the time I thought:"This guy is a total mongoose"
Several months later, I saw him waving his arms about and trying to rap his way through his promo. At this point I knew my first impression was correct.

Yep.

He first wrestled under the name 'Prototype' didn't he?

Nope he came in as Mr Generic face Wrestler. Then he went into hip hop thug character ably assisted by the gorgeous Bull Buchanan

I thought he came in as a Heel?

Yeah, i stopped liking him because he was TOO dumb, if thats possible. When he nearly cost Benoit the title and stuff like that. It was very brief though until he found out about triple h and came back and cost him the iron man match
