The vintage pro-wrestling sensation, Hulk Hogan, had been dealing with another surgery lately. The legend has battled several of them in the past. This condition is due to the career choices of a pro wrestler. All the stuff that their bodies go through in their prime is a problem that they have to deal with later in their lives.
This latest surgery was about his legs where his old-time friend and WWE superstar, Kurt Angle, had exaggerated things a lot out of misunderstanding. As a result, ‘Hulk’ had to announce and debunk the rumor regarding his injury. Of course, this wouldn’t make sense if it wasn’t done in the most ‘Hollywood’ way possible. Talking about the element that Hogan possesses, he once called out a current WWE star.

In a video posted on his original YouTube channel, the legend did not hesitate in calling out a much younger opponent. While the video was Q&A themed, the answer from ‘Hollywood Hogan’ did not seem scripted. He looked ready to wrestle and rumble the ring again back in 2017.
Hulk Hogan knows that he would still sell
This fact is no doubt that the wrestling legend is aware of his market value. He knows that to this date, a match with him will send the PPV system of WWE flying high in the sky. The question asked by a fan named Steve Courtney was to be taken in a fun and lighthearted way. However, Hogan went all in with his answer.
While the fan paid a lot of attention to detail when it comes to his attire, he asked the legend, “if you could wrestle one superstar in the current WWE, who would it be and why?”

To begin his sentence, ‘Mr. America’ appreciated the effort the fan had put into his outfit for just one short video. He even appreciated the interesting question. “It’d be Braun Strowman because I know even though he’s getting over and he’s really getting over and he’s really getting over, I think if he ran into the power of Hulkamania it’d blow him and his career through the roof,” revealed Hulk Hogan. This matchup between the classic vintage wrestler and a recent WWE monster would have been crazy.

Braun Strowman is related to a lot of crazy things in WWE. Including the time that he was once punched by the beastly ex-UFC and WWE star, Brock Lesnar. In a match, Strowman accidentally planted his knee a bit too hard in Lesnar’s head. This angered the former fighter, who ended up punching his opponent for real. The fight eventually got back on track. Although this wouldn’t have been the case with ‘Hollywood Hogan’, fans still wonder what a fight it would be.
An alternate look on Hulk Hogan’s hypothetical last WWE match
Even though the 2017 match never took place, it would have been pretty mesmerizing to watch a legend returning to leave an even better legacy behind. Hogan wanted to test out Strowman, but he never could. Despite the full-of-life former wrestler saying, ‘I probably got one left in me,” things never got set up in their favor.
