Chyna replacing Hogan on reality show, JBL teasing big announcement
- According to the UK press Chyna is finalizing a deal to replace Hulk Hogan on a new season of the UK’s Celebrity Big Brother, perhaps the most popular reality show in the region. Channel 5 executives reportedly nixed Hogan from the show because of the racist comments.
Meanwhile Hogan’s lawyers are trying to get an investigation into who leaked the transcript, since the video was sealed by a Judge. They believe it was Gawker all over again, as a way to sway public opinion against Hogan, which might sway the ongoing sex tape lawsuit in their favor.
- JBL has been teasing a big annoucement on social media that will be revealed next week:
