WWE Legend Takes a Detour From Regularly Bashing Hulk Hogan by Dissing Iconic Maroon 5 Song

The first time Hulk Hogan won the big one, it was iconic. It led to many WrestleMania main events, many rivalries, and many significant moments for the professional wrestling world. The only reason that Vince McMahon was able to go forward with his idea of merging the territorial wrestling areas. For that plan, Hulk Hogan was the face and Vince McMahon was the brains.

But how did the Hulkster get over with the public so well? Well, there are many things. First, his dedication and love towards America and the American Dream. Second, his physique and confidence charmed the audience. But the biggest reason was his rivals. Especially his rivals in the initial days of wrestling.

One such rival who still disses Hulk Hogan, The Iron Sheik, practically made Hogan into the character that he is today. Hogan’s first win cemented his status as the top guy of the company, but without Sheik portraying the evilest monster on TV, no one was going to buy Hogan’s charisma.

The Iron Sheik makes another diss at Hulk Hogan, this time bringing in Maroon 5

Known to diss Hulk Hogan at every chance he can get, this time The Iron Sheik went to karaoke with it. Bringing in Maroon 5’s Billboard No 1 hit and shaming Hogan fans for spending money on him. This man can never stop to amaze you.

Maroon 5 is an American pop band who has been making songs and albums since 2001. The band is still popular, churning out hits like Memories and Girls Like You with Cardi B. The group’s lead, Adam Devine, was even trolled on Royal Rumble 2019 before appearing for his Superbowl performance of that year.

Sheik is from a time when wrestling personas were the celebrity persona that had to be worn in public at all times. Named kayfabe in the wrestling world, the act of hiding one’s real life and depicting the ruthless persona outside the ring was scared. That was until social media took over the world and also became a great way to connect with fans.

But over time, wrestlers shed their kayfabe personas and connected with fans on a personal level. This meant that heels were being good to the fans and people with the mysterious gimmicks appeared to be normal people on Instagram. But it seems like legends like The Iron Sheik will continue this legacy and keep berating Hulk Hogan, even though the two haven’t been on TV for way too long.
