Hulk Hogan, a wrestling legend and the star attraction of the 1980s and early 1990s, recently shared his thoughts on Cody Rhodes’ historic win at WrestleMania XL, where he defeated Roman Reigns to become the Undisputed WWE Champion. In an exclusive interview, Hogan praised Rhodes’ hard work and dedication, stating that he deserves to be at the top and has the potential for serious longevity.
Hogan, who held the WWE Championship for 1,474 days between 1984 and 1988, believes that Rhodes would benefit from holding the gold for a long time. He warned that WWE should avoid the mistake of quickly flipping the belt, as this could undermine Rhodes’ momentum and accomplishments. Instead, Hogan suggests that WWE should stick with Rhodes for a while, making him the gold standard for the company.

Rhodes, a methodical and cool, calm, and collected performer, has already begun to make a name for himself in WWE, feuding with the Bloodline’s Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa, and set to team up with Kevin Owens and Randy Orton at Money in the Bank on July 6. Hogan praises his work, stating that he has seen some really good stuff with Rhodes and Seth Rollins, noting that their matches are believable and look like they are on the path to greatness.
Hogan’s endorsement of Rhodes is a testament to the wrestler’s dedication and hard work. As a wrestling legend himself, Hogan knows what it takes to stay at the top of the wrestling world, and he believes that Rhodes has what it takes to remain Undisputed WWE Champion for the foreseeable future. With WWE’s top prize now in his grasp, it will be interesting to see how Rhodes handles the pressure and whether he can continue to rise to the top.
