WWE Tough Enough helped launch Mandy Rose into a life of Superstardom, but her father wasn’t too keen on her decision to step into the ring.
Rose was part of 2015’s Tough Enough, a series that also featured current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Chelsea Green.
During the debut of “Power Alphas,” the podcast of her fiance Tino Sabbatelli, Rose discussed her decision to try out for WWE. She said,
“So, I call my dad, mom, everyone I’m like ‘guys, I’m going to go try out to be on this reality show’ and right away my dad’s like ‘what do you mean? What reality show?’ And I was like ‘It’s with WWE. It’s kind of like a road rules challenge type thing’ not that he even knew what it was but you know, ‘it could catapult me into something really big I could become a WWE Superstar’ and my dad was like ‘alright, well, I don’t know’ like he was very very hesitant. He was hesitant for a long time.”
