10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Jan 1)

5. Hulk Hogan Is A Huge Alberto Del Rio Fan

As aforementioned during the introduction to this piece, Hulk Hogan is currently out of the WWE limelight. Wrestling fans looked on in awe as the promotion erased much of Hogan's history from their official website during the Summer of 2015. As things stand, Hogan believes there's a chance he will work with WWE again, and he still keeps an eye on the product. It seems that Hulk has been a keen viewer of Monday Night Raw, because he was full of praise for a recently-returned star on Twitter this week. At Hell In A Cell, Alberto Del Rio shockingly made his comeback and defeated John Cena to win the WWE United States Title. Since then, he has joined the League Of Nations alongside Sheamus, 'King' Barrett and Rusev. In Hulk Hogan's mind, Del Rio is in the best shape of his life. Not stopping the praise there, the legendary figure remarked that pro wrestling needs more talent just like the Mexican star, because he has "raised the bar" in the company. Hogan then said that if everyone was like Del Rio, the wrestling world would be a better place, which is quite the compliment.
