10 Problems With Tough Enough WWE Doesn't Want To Admit
5. Hulk Hogan Is Horribly Miscast On This Show
So, yeah. Pictured above is that one time the judge on the low-rated reality TV show wrestled Andre the Giant in front of close to 100,000 people and drew one of the largest gates in pro wrestling history. Why this man is being featured on a show where the winner could be main eventing in front of 100 people in a year from now is honestly beyond anyone's comprehension. Maybe it's corporate suits that called for Hogan to judge? Maybe it was Vince McMahon? Either way, it's a deplorable decision and actually devalues the Hulkster, who on a wanting to be white-hot TV product should totally be cast in even a bit role. Hulk Hogan sitting in a chair looking at might be and never-could-cut-it WWE hopefuls is unfortunate.
