Hulk Hogan says he is a fan of 38-year-old WWE superstar (Exclusive)
WWE legend Hulk Hogan recently spoke highly of a particular star in the Stamford-based promotion's main roster. According to him, the only concern stars like that have at this point is to stay healthy and uninjured.
The star in question, Seth Rollins, is widely considered to be one of the biggest names in WWE. The Visionary has gone through his fair share of gimmicks in the pro-wrestling juggernaut and has evolved through each of them to become the fan favorite he is today.
Speaking in an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's, Senior Editor, Bill Apter, Hulk Hogan stated that Seth was one of his most admired stars and how he worked his way to the top of the ladder.
The 70-year-old also said pro wrestling had evolved significantly from his days inside the squared circle and that he finds it a difficult pill to swallow when he sees superstars putting their bodies on the line, even in the latter parts of their careers. He hoped Rollins stayed uninjured and continued on his path of success.
"Seth is the best. I mean he is really, he has really come into his own. You know he morphed through that Joker transition to tying it into his... Feel comfortable in his own skin. But ya, he is there bro. He is as solid as they get, he is an attraction. All these guys just need to stay healthy. And they are doing the crazy stuff that we didn't do back in the day. So, everytime they go for a crazy move, I cringe," said Hogan. [3:16 onwards]

The WWE legend also spoke about Cody Rhodes's future
Cody Rhodes has quickly cemented himself as one of the most impactful babyfaces in recent WWE history, and Hulk Hogan believes the same.
Speaking in an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter, the Hulkamaniac explained that Cody had cracked the formula to have significant longevity. He stated:
"I think Cody has worked real, real hard to niche out for himself. I think he deserves to be exactly where he's at. He's cool, calm, and collected, very methodical, and I think he's got some serious, serious longevity. I love his work. I love his work. He's doing a really great job up there, and I've seen some really good stuff with him and Seth [Rollins], some really believable stuff, and it looks like he's on to greatness," said Hogan.

As of now, only time will tell what is next for Cody Rhodes and his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. He is set to team up with Randy Orton and Kevin Owens in a Three-Man Tag Team Match against The Bloodline at Money in the Bank PLE next week.
