– Brian Fritz of SportingNews.com spoke with WWE Tough Enough judges Paige and Hulk Hogan to promote tonight’s premiere on the USA Network. The full interview is at this link. Hogan and Paige commented on what they’re looking for as judges on the show:
Hogan: โI do care about technique and how people perform in the ring, how they hit the ropes, placement, their skills and ability. But the overriding factor for me is selling tickets, putting rear ends in seats and that takes the ‘it’ factor, someone special. An Andre the Giant or a Rock, Triple H or a Paige who we just found recently. Thatโs what weโre looking for โ the charisma, the โitโ factor. For me, that seals the deal.โ
Paige: โSpeaking on the microphone, you have to be able to tell a story โ thereโs the everything. I look at someone that is different as well, someone that stands out from the rest of the crowd because you donโt want to blend in. Ever. You wonโt be here very long if you donโt stand out.โ
โI think all three of us โ weโre donโt take any bull from anyone. Weโre all going to be very stern. The Hulkster knows what heโs looking for. Bryan knows what heโs looking for. I know what Iโm looking for. Weโre not going to let people get through the cracks. Weโre going to be very, very involved with every single one of them.โ
