Roman Reigns and "I could draw some major money", claims multi-time WWE Champion
Roman Reigns is undoubtedly the biggest star in WWE today, one former face of the company who wished he got to wrestle The Tribal Chief is Hulk Hogan.
Like Reigns, Hogan was positioned as the top guy in the industry during the prime days of his career, with him main-eventing multiple WrestleManias in the 80s and 90s.
During a recent interview on the MMA Hour, Hulk Hogan praised the creative skills of The Head of the Table, with Roman Reigns' current gimmick being the greatest of his WWE career.
"He’s got it figured out,” Hogan said of Reigns. “A lot of people wrestle [for] 20 or 30 years and they don’t ever figure it out. I mean, they’re smart to the business, but they really never figured it out. He’s figured out as far as placement and timing goes, and that slow, methodical cadence when you’re in the ring."
Hogan then went on to say that he and The Tribal Chief would have been a great financial paring for the company if the two met in their prime.
“End of the day, if I was in my prime and I walked in with him, I could draw some major money with him.” (H/T EWrestling News)
