The original WWE special "The $1,000,000 Tough Enough Download" gives an exclusive peek into the grueling casting process and weekly eliminations that have whittled WWE SMACKDOWN!'s "Tough Enough" contest field from more than 5,000 entrants to 50 hopefuls at the Venice Beach, Calif. tryouts, and finally to the eight finalists currently battling on air for the chance to become a WWE Superstar with a four-year WWE contract worth $1 million. "The $1,000,000 Tough Enough Download" airs on Friday, Nov. 26 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on UPN.

Navy veteran quit after one day of training, a shocking trip to the hospital for one participant after tangling with Olympic legend Kurt Angle, the group's daunting first encounter with the world�s largest athlete Big Show, and how a lost bet led two of the massive participants to dress like women and apply for jobs at a strip club.

The eight finalists have been trained for the ring by special head trainer and WWE legend Al Snow ("WWE Tough Enough").
