Jim Ross Reveals Which One Is His Favorite Version Of Hulk Hogan
Hogan started his professional wrestling career back in 1977 and he became a famous name from the 80s after he signed with WWE and he was portrayed as Hulk Hogan. This character of him was something really different back in the time and fans really loved him. 80s professional wrestling fans could not Imagine The World of wrestling without him.
During his professional wrestling career he went through a number of gimmicks. We will mostly talk about the gimmicks he played after he became Hogan. He has mostly been famous as a lovable babyface in WWE. But after he joined WCW back in 1995, he turned heel for the first time in 1996.
It was a shocking transformation. But this transformation also helped WCW to gain more TV ratings than WWE during that time. In 2003, he had a short gimmick change on SmackDown where he became Mr America after he was fired by Vince McMahon. Of course it was all a storyline but back in the time fans really loved this.
Jim Ross who is currently active as a colour commentator for the All Elite Wrestling promotion recently spoke on his Grilling JR podcast where he dropped about WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan and revealed which one was his best version according to him. He said;
“I really liked Hogan as a heel in the NWO. I thought he made that group so relevant, and their results speak for themselves. I really liked the heel Hogan because it was new. It was fresh. I thought that was very, very well done creatively, and it was great until they started everybody and their brother to the group.
“If it would have stayed Hall, Nash, and Hogan, maybe one more, X-Pac for example, I’m ok with all of that. But when they started adding more and more people, I thought they watered it down.”
