During a recent conversation with WFAN, WWE superstar Seth Rollins shared his viewpoint regarding fellow wrestler and notable MAGA supporter Hulk Hogan. He also reacted to the audience’s reception of Hogan during the inaugural episode of WWE Monday Night RAW on Netflix.
Below are some key takeaways from the interview:
When questioned about his encounters with Hogan, Rollins stated, “I’ve been a Hogan fan since my childhood, and as I’ve often pointed out, he has always treated me with kindness whenever we’ve interacted. But that doesn’t necessarily make him a good person. Of late, he’s found himself entangled in a few controversies. It remains to be seen how he’ll deal with them. However, that’s his matter to address.”
Commenting on Hogan’s not-so-warm welcome during the premiere of RAW’s Netflix show, Rollins revealed, “I wasn’t taken aback. Hogan hasn’t really done much in recent years to garner goodwill or maintain a positive reputation. Given the current circumstances surrounding him, I wasn’t shocked when I saw the negative response from the crowd. I foresaw it, though I’m not certain if others did too.”
Speaking on the incident where Travis Scott hit Cody Rhodes, Rollins commented, “Travis Scott has my sympathy. He’s not suited for a wrestling match against such humongous people. No disrespect to him, but he’s more of a cruiserweight. Maybe he could handle a match against Rey Mysterio. He seemed unsure of what he was doing in the ring, hitting Cody on the side of his head, leading to a nasty bruise and blood. If Cody gets to retaliate, it’s game over for Travis. While Cody is not as massive as Braun Strowman or Andre The Giant, he’s still considerably larger than Travis. If he can get past Travis’ entourage, Travis doesn’t stand a chance. While Cody is generally amicable, he has a streak of agitation, especially when he’s taken for a ride in such situations.”
