With Hulk Hogan being given the boot, the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is now busy trying to cover up the mess on their end. Much of that is of course cleaning up their website (which has been practically done) and filling up the slots that Hogan was previously accountable for.
One of them is to fill up the judge spot on Tough Enough. According to multiple reports, it seems that the WWE has already chosen a successor — Brett "The Hitman" Hart.
The WWE legend already met up with WWE CEO Vince McMahon, according to a report from the Wrestlezone, and the two apparently discussed the said vacancy. Although there is no official confirmation yet, it seems that the meeting ended up on a positive note and Hart is likely to take over as a judge soon.
Hart also made a name for himself in the WWE even though he did have his issues during his tenure. Many don't see him in the same capacity as Hogan but for the ones who have followed the Hitman's career, many will agree that the Hitman made his mark, starting from being a Tag Team champ (with Jim "Anvil" Neidhart) before holding the WWE individual titles (Intercontinental and Heavyweight titles).
It remains to be seen what the WWE plans to do when it is time to insert Hart into Tough Enough. Will they still create a drama storyline behind it or simply place Hart on the spot?
The fact that the world already knows the whole story of that celebrated racist rant that got Hogan into a heap of trouble, it seems that the WWE will no longer have to find a way to justify Hart's coming. In fact, it is something that is readily expected.
Could there be other roles that Hogan previously held that need to be addressed? Well, the only thing that comes to mind is that Wrestlemania 32 appearance which is now obviously shelved.
