A silver medal is not too shabby.
That's what Hulk Hogan would give himself when looking at the all-time greats in his given profession.
"The Hulkster" is featured in a new video that is making the rounds on social media where he reveals his personal list of the top three pro wrestlers in the history of the business.
The video, which features the iconic public figure alongside Ric Flair, shows "The Real American" giving respect where it's due by naming "The Nature Boy" as the single best performer to ever lace up a pair of boots and don a pair of tights.
Hogan stated in the video, which was recorded during an appearance in Tampa, Florida, “Well, let me tell you something brother! I want everybody in here, on the [count of] one, two, three, to give me a ‘Wooo!’ for the greatest wrestler of all time!"
He continued, "One! Two! Three! Wooo! Hey thank you guys for coming out. This is the greatest wrestler of all time, Ric Flair.”
The modesty ended there.
The leg-dropping, vitamin-taking, prayer-saying legend would go on to name himself the second best of all-time, ranking himself one spot over "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, whom he placed third in his list.
"In honor of the third greatest wrestler ever, ’cause he’s [points at Flair] #1, I’m #2. In honor of the third greatest wrestler of all time, that no good [inaudible] Rattlesnake, Steve Austin. Somebody give me a hell yeah!”
