10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (June 26)

2. Hulk Hogan Is A Huge Kevin Owens Fan

Speaking of wrestling personalities who are no stranger to making bold statements, the legendary Hulk Hogan seems to be in a happy place nowadays, buoyed by his ambassadorial role in WWE. Whilst Vince Russo is firing barbs at everyone from WWE creative to TNA management, the Hulkster is taking a different route, full of praise for the way Triple H is handling business, to even talking up Kevin Owens. Being frank, Owens is not the typical performer that anyone would imagine Hulk Hogan would enjoy, but apparently he does. Speaking during recent media appearances, Hogan said he was transfixed on wrestling for the first time in a long time upon watching Kevin Owens on NXT, and actually felt like a fan again for the first time in many years. That's high praise, and Hulk didn't stop there. Noting Owens tremendous agility for a larger athlete, the multi-time World Champion remarked that he couldn't wait to see what the young man could achieve in the future. Putting over NXT and Tough Enough in general, Hogan outed himself as a huge fan of Kevin Owens. Who could have seen that one coming!?
