“He’s a cocky dude,” Hulk Hogan reveals his wishlist of current wrestlers he would like to face in WWE

The Immortal Hulk Hogan is one of the greatest wrestlers to have stepped into the squared circle. The 70-year-old WWE legend has retired from the sport but has left behind a legacy for future stars to look up to. His wrestling era goes back to the 1980s, when WWF had a stacked roster, making the wrestling business boom. But now that he is observing the current scenario, Hogan sees fewer attractions that he would like to face.

While speaking with MrSantiZap, Hulk was asked about whom he would like to wrestle at WrestleMania. But Hollywood Hogan took this to a controversial level and ended up claiming that there are few attractions in the business. Mr. America justified that there are only a few main event players like Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins who are now at their greatest level. He did not say much about Reigns but stated that Rollins is a cocky dude and would love to face him.

For me to pick one guy out, I figure it wouldn't be fair. Choices would be Roman Reigns, of course. Seth Rollins, I'd love to rock him one time. He's a cocky dude, I'd like to get up in Seth Rollins' face.

Hulk Hogan about his two wrestling choices

Hulk stated that, according to the current landscape, choosing a big-attraction opponent would be a tricky thing to do. And his decision to pick one of them would not be fair, making it a hard nut to crack. He cited John Cena, Andre the Giant, and ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin as the real draw of his time.

"And somebody that I did wrestle one time before that, it could have been a fluke that I got the victory. I would love to wrestle Randy Orton."

One star that Hulkster would like to face again is Randy Orton. He stated that his victory at previous encounter could be a fluke, but a battle now would be exciting for him. He concluded the statement by saying that these main event superstars would be his choice to go against if he ever wrestles again.

Hulk Hogan talks about his popular André the Giant body slam

In the same interview with MrSantiZap, Hulk Hogan recalled his WrestleMania 3 match with André the Giant. The main event match of the show was for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship, where Hogan defeated Andre. But an iconic moment of the match saw him lift the 550-pound Giant for a body slam.

While talking about the bout, Hulk stated that the longer he went into the match, he felt more energy from the crowd. He waited for the moment when he saw André being imbalanced and took advantage to lift him up. When Hogan got to the position to hold him, he set the heck with it and turned him down.

"I happened to get underneath him and when I get to that position. I just set the heck of it and turned him and he went down. That was one time deal brother, never to happen again!"

Hogan stated that iconic moment to be a one-time deal that he got away with, fortunately. He is even prouder of the fact that he performed it in front of 93K fans at the Pontiac Silverdome at WrestleMania 3. Hulkster even remembers the reaction from the crowd, which instantly chanted his name throughout the show.
