It’s been ten years since we had the Stone Cold Steve Austin version of WWE Tough Enough and former contest AJ Kirsch is ready to dive into the details with some “Tough Talk.”
In honor of the anniversary, Kirsch announced via his social media on Thursday that he’ll be beginning a “tell-all” podcast (yes, called “Tough Talk”) as he recounts his surreal experience being on the show. In his Tweet, Kirsch says he’ll giving behind-the-scenes insight about “shooting, casting and beyond.”

Dominic DeAngelo at WrestleZone can also confirm that Kirsch will have several contestants as guests on the forthcoming episodes and as of this moment, two of the four trainers have agreed to be on the show as well. Including Austin, the trainers featured on that season featured Booker T, Trish Stratus and Bill DeMott. Kirsch finished in fifth place on that season, lasting a total of eight episodes. Since then, Kirsch has stayed active in the industry most recently with some on-air and in-ring appearances on AEW Dark as his alter ego, “Broseph” Joe Broakley. He also had an extended run as a color commentator and announcer for MLW. You can check out a preview clip of what’s to come on Tough Talk below:
