Hulk Hogan recently appeared as a guest on "INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet" for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, "The Hulkster" spoke about a potential in-ring return and revealed his Mount Rushmore of Wrestling list.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On how he would love to wrestle again but his body is just too beat up from years of surgeries to get back into the ring: "I would have loved to have had that last match. But now it’s completely out of the picture. You know, I’m just too beat up from the surgeries. I think if I took a couple of bumps, you probably have to cut up me again. But no, I really wanted to have that last match. [Against who?] I wasn’t sure you know, I had I think it was WrestleMania 25 in Orlando."
On his Mount Rushmore of Wrestling List, which includes Andre The Giant, The Rock, Ric Flair, and Steve Austin: "Well, that’s a tough one. You know, because Andre has to be there. There’s no doubt about it. Andre has to be there and there’s just not enough headspace there. You know, because up there, you know, it would have to be Ric Flair. I tell Ric Flair you’re the greatest wrestler that ever lived and I’ve had other people tell me other things, you know, but as far as I’m concerned with him loving this business and being a complete sellout, he gave up everything. Family, friends, his own health, everything to be in his business. That’s kind of crazy type of dedication, way more than I could give. You know, and he did it because he loved this business. And plus, he was a top guy like forever, you know, so it had to be Andre. It has to be Flair. I’m just going with the older guys, you know, because there are some new guys like Seth Rollins, who I really admire. You know, Kevin Owens caught my eye really early when a lot of people didn’t believe in him. And I saw him down there and said see oh my god that brother has got it figured out. You know, and so I’m all over the place with it but for me the quick fix would be Andre, Flair, Rock and Austin. That’s a quick fix for me. Yeah, those four guys deserve it."
