Former WWE Champion Shocked: “Hulk Hogan Would Say Those Things About Me”

Hulk Hogan is one of the greatest of all time in this pro wrestling business. In the 1990s, he had an amazing craze among fans all around the world. Hulk Hogan is retired from professional wrestling now. But ‘The Hulkster’ still keeps an eye on the happenings of the pro wrestling world.

A few weeks ago, the WWE legend had a huge compliment for WWE superstar Jinder Mahal. Hogan uploaded a picture with Jinder on Instagram. In the caption, Hogan claimed Jinder Mahal could be the new generation Hulk Hogan if given the right push.

Recently, in an interview with the Times of India, Jinder Mahal revealed his reaction after getting such a huge compliment from one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all time.

“That gave me some more motivation to keep pushing forward and accomplishing more in the WWE, so thank you to Hulk Hogan for those kind words,” he added.

Can Jinder Mahal be the next generation Hulk Hogan?

Well, Jinder Mahal is a very talented individual. During his time in WWE so far, Mahal has competed in matches against top WWE superstars like Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura.

Not only did Jinder wrestle against them, but he also had some victories against the top stars.

Jinder is a former WWE Champion, a former WWE United States Champion, and a two-time WWE 24/7 Championship.

Thus, there is no doubt that Mahal has what it takes to be a champion like Hogan. But it looks like he has a long way to go before he reaches Hulk Hogan’s level.

Coming to Hulk Hogan now, ‘The Hulkster’ had competed in matches across several pro wrestling promotions. He had been a major part of WCW and WWE in the 1990s.
