In case you didn’t know…
Georges St-Pierre is widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters of all time and is a former UFC Welterweight and Middleweight Champion.
On the other hand, Hulk Hogan is heralded by many as one of the most influential professional wrestlers in history and is one of the first pro-wrestling superstars to have successfully broken through into the mainstream media.
The heart of the matter
Georges St-Pierre endearingly referred to by the martial arts community as GSP, is presently on the shelf suffering from an illness owing to which he had to vacate his recently won UFC Middleweight Championship. Nevertheless, GSP seemed to be in high spirits in Miami, Florida, having a great time alongside world-renowned musician David Guetta and WWE icon Hulk Hogan.
Additionally, while GSP expressed his delight at being pictured with Guetta and the one and only Hulk Hogan, the Hulkster praised St-Pierre as the greatest fighter ever and asserted that he and GSP could very well be the next WWE Tag Team Champions.
Furthermore, one ought to note that a few days ago, veteran pro-wrestling industry insider Jim Ross addressed a potential Hogan comeback to WWE; emphasizing that he’d be shocked if HH wasn’t back with the WWE by next year.
What’s next?
Hulk Hogan continues to thrive as a businessperson and is till date suspended from the WWE owing to him being captured on tape mouthing racial slurs.
Meanwhile, GSP was diagnosed with colitis after his UFC 185-pound title victory over Michael Bisping this past November. St-Pierre has vacated the UFC Middleweight Championship with Interim-Champion Robert Whittaker being promoted to the status of Undisputed Middleweight Champ.
Whether or not GSP ever returns to MMA depends on the timeline of his recovery from the potentially life-threatening disease.
Author’s take
Well, although GSP may be on the shelf right now, his charisma and personality are very well-suited to today’s family-friendly WWE product.
GSP is one of the classiest people alive, and as for Hulk Hogan, despite racism allegations and the leaked videotape showing him vent out in a racist rant, fans have been clamouring for HH’s return to professional wrestling and the WWE.
2018 will most definitely answer several questions regarding the former WCW and WWE Champion’s future once and for all.
