Hulk Hogan heaps praise on Toni Storm
The Timeless star has become one of the most popular figures in the pro wrestling industry over the last year. Her character work has been one of the key aspects of her success.
While speaking with Forbes, Hulk Hogan revealed that he was a huge fan of the AEW Women's Champion after he saw Storm's match against Mariah May at the Revolution pay-per-view.
"Bro, I kind of like was all over the place until I watched that Toni Storm. The one that acts like the 1920s, the Roaring '20s. Bro, when I saw her start grinding in there and digging, and when I saw her gaffe through her hairline, when she pulled that blade through her hairline and she needed about 10 staples, I went: "Holy cr**, this girl ain’t playing." And the girl she was wrestling, I can’t remember her name. It was like a protege or a really hot blonde..." he said.
It remains to be seen who will win the upcoming match on Dynamite.
