Graser attended WWE’s Business Partner Summit, an event that also confirmed WWE’s YouTube numbers over the past year:

WWE “Tough Enough” was originally slated to be on the USA Network, but it now appears that the reality-based wrestling competition will be an exclusive for the WWE Network.
There have been four seasons of the program that have aired on various networks since its debut in 2001.
Editor’s Note
Divas Search? Sign me up. Not literally, of course. Remember Christie Hemme, Kristal Marshall and Ashley Massaro? I do. An animated show with Seth Green, though? Isn’t that Family Guy? Robot Chicken? Anyone?
