Arnold Schwarzenegger was the youngest Mr. Olympia at the age of 23. It’s a record that he still holds to this day. And seeing him praising someone else so selflessly is astonishing. Arnold still has a prominent physique, even at the age of 75. His comments flattered Hogan, and he couldn’t stop smiling. They were shortly interrupted by Miz, who started trash talking to the Sabotage stars and Hulk Hogan.
Eventually, all three of them booted Miz out of the ring.
