Hulk Hogan might be banned from WWE programming, but he is still a veteran figure in the pro-wrestling industry.
After the scandal he suffered in 2015, WWE prohibited him from making any appearances on the TV programming. Recently, the speculations suggested it would get lifted now that he proved to be not guilty, at all. Till date, those rumours have not turned out to be true.
Meanwhile, Hulk continued keeping a connection with the fans around him. Quite often, we heard him noting on the ongoing issues inside and outside the WWE. In recent times, Hulk Hogan opened up about AJ Styles being the very best in the entire world not just as a wrestler but also in his regular life.
There’s no doubt that the fans consider AJ Styles as the most technical wrestler present in the WWE locker room. After roaming around the world and selling out venues, he joined WWE in 2016. From the get-go, he earned respect from the WWE Universe. Going forward, he became the top babyface player of the Smackdown Live brand.
Recently, the Immortal One talked about AJ owing to the WWE, right now.
Hulk Hogan had previously worked with the ‘face that runs the place’ at the Impact Wrestling promotion and observed him.
According to him, Styles is not only the phenomenal one inside the squared circle but also a great father to his children.
Check out his quotes from SI.com,
“Beyond that, he’s just such a good person. What AJ does in the ring is phenomenal, and that’s why we call him the ‘Phenomenal One’, but when he’s outside the ring, he’s even more phenomenal. It’s so cool to see how he takes care of his family and loves his kids. If people saw him outside of when he wrestles, they’d have even more admiration for him.”

Apart from talking about the Phenomenal One in the WWE, he also talked about his comeback. Although he dealt with a major backlash after that tape controversy, the fans always stayed by his side.
Although he is over from his prime time, a long time ago, he received tremendous support from the audience. It still gives him hope to return for one more stint in the WWE,
“I’ll be 65 in a couple of months, and I had no idea there would still be this groundswell of interest. People have stood by me through the good stuff, but also through the controversy. People were loyal and stood behind me even when big corporations made decisions based on their corporate policies. The fans stuck with me. It’s been amazing how loyal they have been to me.”
