Hulk Hogan was recently interviewed by ESPN. This was backstage at the RAW Reunion show. During the interview, Hogan spoke about the talented roster that WWE currently has.
Specifically, Hogan noted a handful of WWE wrestlers who he thinks could become the next breakout Superstar for the company.
Here is what Hogan said (h/t to Wrestling INC for the quotes below):
“You know, Vince is always looking for that one big attraction. When I see all the young guys coming up it’s just hard to tell, because there are so many of them that are fighting to grab that brass ring. You’ve got the ‘Scottish Psychopath’ (Drew McIntyre) that’s running around like a crazy man. Of course you’ve got AJ Styles. Then you’ve got Ricochet, who’s making an impression on everyone. I’m still betting on Kevin Owens, he’s my boy. I’m a huge John Cena fan. He’s my favorite wrestler. He’s doing a lot of movies, so I’m disappointed that I can’t throw John Cena back into the picture for the world title.
“And the girls. Charlotte Flair is setting this bar so high that Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, or Andre The Giant would have a hard time catching up to her, because she is blowing the roof off of this place because she’s got it all. It’s just amazing. You’ve got a handful to pick from. I sure wish I was Vince McMahon with all this talent.”
