Wrestling Academy’s Summer School continues their recap of WWE + MTV’s Tough Enough Season 1
Headmaster Michael and Homecoming King Samee take some sunglasses out of manila folders and immediately hurt themselves diving in to “Bahamas or Bust” and “Injuries Start Piling Up”
The great Kurt Angle visits the contestants at Trax and treats them to a huge vacation in The Bahamas. And you know what they say, “What happens in the Bahamas is that Ivy League Chris is a big jerk.”
After returning from The Bahamas, two contestants eliminate themselves due to injury, two other contestants sit out due to injury, and Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, and Lita talk about how they’re never not injured.
We’re past the halfway mark of the season and with these last two eliminations, is anyone going to end up being Tough Enough?

In our most cowboy shit episode yet, Headmaster Michael (he/him) and Homecoming King Samee (they/them) chug a bunch of beers and cheers Hangman Adam Page’s road to becoming AEW World Champion (2019-2021).

In our most colossally tussled episode yet, Headmaster Michael (he/him) and Homecoming King Samee (they/them) take a double decker bus tour of Wrestlemania 21 Goes Hollywood.
We take a brief detour to the flashy, star-studded beginning of Wrestlemania in 1985 before reviewing the movie parody-filled Wrestlemania of 2005.
This classic Wrestlemania featured the tag team of Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio wrestling each other, the FIRST money in the bank, Triple H and Batista, and a show-stopping match between Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels.
What was your favorite match of the 21st Wrestlemania? How many times would you go into sport mode against Shawn Michaels? Where does this rank in your list of Wrestlemanias?
