Hulk Hogan is, without a doubt, one of the biggest legends to ever step into a WWE ring. He’s been a major part of the company’s success for years and helped shape the world of pro wrestling. But even with all that fame, a lot of people in WWE don’t like him, mostly because of his controversial behavior and remarks.

The truth is, Hogan’s reputation has taken some serious hits over the years. He’s known for utilising his backstage influence and changing the outcomes of matches to suit himself by manipulating storylines backstage. Many wrestlers have called him out for having a toxic attitude behind the scenes, throwing tantrums, demanding special treatment, and acting differently when the cameras were off. Here are eight wrestlers who hate Hulk Hogan with a passion.

Goldberg just wrapped up his final WWE match against Gunther, and yeah, we’re still not over it. His retirement hit hard, especially for all the Og fans who’ve been watching him tear it up in the ring for years. But here’s a little silver lining: there might be another Goldberg stepping into the spotlight soon.

His son, Gage Goldberg, is gearing up for a shot at the NFL. But if that path doesn’t pan out for whatever reason, he’s got his sights set on WWE. Yep, Gage could be carrying on his dad’s legacy right in the ring. It’ll be wild to see how things shake out, and if he does make the leap to wrestling, can he live up to the Goldberg name?

John Cena’s farewell tour has been unfolding according to the evil plan he hatched before it began. He turned his back on the fans, won his record-setting World Championship, and has been unstoppable for months. In doing so, he turned one of his biggest fans, R-Truth, into his worst enemy as witnessed on their television programming in recent memory.

The former WWE 24/7 Champion has undergone a significant transformation and has showcased his ruthless side since returning to WWE following his brief release. With another match against Cena coming up for Truth, a WWE legend weighed in with an early prediction regarding what can go down.

R-Truth’s WWE exit was short-lived, as he came back with a bang as Ron Killings, crashing the Money in the Bank tag team match between Cena, Logan Paul, Cody Rhodes, and Jey Uso. Fans were stunned when he popped out of the stands and went straight for Cena.

But the real shocker came on the next episode, when he stepped out in front of the audience, not as R-Truth, but as Ron Killings. WWE is clearly ditching his goofy, gimmicky persona, and fans are absolutely loving it. The segment has blown up online, with the video racking up views at the same level as Cena and Cm Punk’s recent promo for their Night of Champions showdown.

R-Truth’s Ron Killings segment is drawing as much attention as John Cena vs Cm Punk promo Ron Killings during a fight | Credits- WWE

R-Truth’s shocking transformation into Ron Killings has completely caught fans off guard.

After years of being the ultimate good guy, John Cena finally turned heel! He embraced his dark side at this year’s Elimination Chamber, stabbing Cody Rhodes in the back and pretty much selling his soul to The Rock. Then he took the WWE World Championship from Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 and even defended it against Randy Orton at Backlash.

Fans have been dreaming about a Cena heel turn forever, but let’s be real, this one feels kinda half-hearted. Instead of a true, menacing bad guy, he just seems like a frustrated version of his old self. But actually, he had a plan for a full-fledged heel transformation, with new music, a fresh persona, and everything. But Triple H had other ideas, and well, here we are.

John Cena’s initial plan for a heel turn was much better than what Triple H gave us John Cena giving a speech...

Cm Punk is easily one of the most influential wrestlers in WWE history, with a massive fan base built over years of epic rivalries and unforgettable storylines.

But what really made him stand out wasn’t just his wrestling; it was his anti-establishment attitude and his fearless habit of calling out even billionaires when they were in the wrong. Lately, though, it seems like Punk has strayed from his roots, going against the very values that made him a fan favorite.

A lot has changed since Cm Punk’s comments bashing Saudi Arabia.. Cm Punk in a WWE event | Credits- WWE

Cm Punk has always been outspoken about his issues with Saudi Arabia, especially its history of civil rights abuses. He even called out The Miz for participating in a Saudi event, accusing him of taking “Blood Money”. But now, the tables have turned, Punk is set to face John Cena...

John Cena shocked everyone by turning heel at this year’s Elimination Chamber, betraying Cody Rhodes in the process. He then went on to snatch the title from Rhodes at WrestleMania and successfully defended it against Randy Orton at Backlash. However, Cena tasted his first defeat since turning heel in a tag team match against Rhodes and Jey Uso, thanks to some help from R-Truth.

Fans aren’t exactly thrilled with how things are unfolding, especially with Triple H’s approach to Cena’s farewell tour. But legendary wrestler Mark Henry has pitched an idea that seems way more exciting than anything Triple H has planned.

Mark Henry comes up with an excellent plan for John Cena’s farewell tour Mark Henry in a WWE event | Credits: WWE

WWE legend Mark Henry has opened up on an excellent idea: he thinks John Cena should embrace his inner Thanos and embrace the dark side fully.

When they said, “Life is not fair,” they didn’t mean it sarcastically, because the world of WWE reflects this harsh truth of life. After all, the company will only do “what’s best for business” and wouldn’t always honor every fan sentiment. This feeling was evident when Paul “Triple H” Levesque took over and had different ideas for the main roster that’d be the new attractions of the company.

While some have gone on to make a name for themselves, others have been reduced to being a mid-tier entertainment card. One such name is how Austin Theory was once a promising talent, who at one point was the US Champion and had some great matches that fans loved.

However, his recent run in the company proves how the Cco pulled the plug on his rise to success.

Triple H’s creative vision has no place for Austin...

WWE added more firepower to their women’s division with their latest acquisition in the form of Mariah May. Britain’s heartthrob, May, has been a professional wrestler for the past six years, but apart from her in-ring credentials, she is also a model and an actress. May started her wrestling career back in 2019 as an in-ring announcer.

May trained at Knucklelocks Gym in London and the Cacc Snake Pit in Japan, which played a crucial part in shaping her early days. Finally, in late 2023, May joined Aew as an admirer of Toni Storm. Eventually, May went on from being an admirer to a rival, defeating Storm to win the Aew Women’s World Championship at Aew All In.

If you’re like me, you’ve been captivated by every eerily engrossing moment of The Wyatt Sicks that we’ve been treated to on our screens. When they first arrived, it felt similar to a scene out of a horror movie, and that’s why we love them.

WWE legend Mark Henry provided some serious insight on Busted Open Radio about how he is encouraging Triple H to let this faction be as crazy and different as they can be. He is totally right, they can’t waste the opportunity of the Wyatt Sicks! They are not just a faction, they are a vibe to create different types of WWE storytelling.

John Cena has accomplished the unthinkable during his illustrious WWE career. He has won a record-tying number of world titles, lifted some of the biggest men in the industry, and dominated the business for more than ten years.

Nevertheless, many people in the WWE Universe rarely mention Cena when discussing the strongest wrestlers of all time. Unexpectedly, The Big Show is one man who vehemently disagrees with that viewpoint.

The giant claims that Cena’s strength is real, having seen it in the ring. However, things took an intriguing turn when another WWE legend openly contested Big Show’s viewpoint, igniting a new discussion among fans.

Roman Reigns stands as one of the most accomplished wrestlers in WWE history, leading the Bloodline and dominating the ring with legendary feuds and victories over countless superstars. A two-time champion, he holds the record for the longest championship reign in the promotion’s history at an incredible 1,316 days.

However, controversy recently arose when Raw talk host Bradley Martyn suggested that Reigns might be dishonest about his weight. While it’s not uncommon for WWE wrestlers to exaggerate their stats to appear more imposing, the accusation that Reigns has also misrepresented his weight is truly surprising.

We have witnessed several giants inside the WWE throughout its history. From Andre the Giant to Big Show to Mark Henry, there have been many monstrous and heavy wrestlers.

Though these wrestlers weren’t agile inside the ring, they entertained the audience with the sheer power and brutality that was inflicted on their opponents. Even though Andre the Giant was one of the most notable names in the WWE, he wasn’t the heaviest.

Yokozuna, the Japanese sumo wrestler managed by Mr. Fuji, was the heaviest wrestler ever in the WWE. When he made his entrance in the ring, everyone looked at him in awe due to his gigantic size.

Wrestlemania season is the most wonderful time of the year for wrestling fans, particularly the ones who follow WWE. Spanning from New Year's Eve to around Easter Sunday, World Wrestling Entertainment will culminate their biggest storylines of the year and pay them off on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Though many will look at the Showcase of Immortals as the "season finale" of the long-running wrestling promotion's programming for that year, professional wrestling doesn't have an off-season. In fact, depending on which streaming services you subscribe to, you can find yourself watching in-ring action from a different promotion every single day of the week.

However, what if wrestling fans want to take a break from the squared circle in favor of more traditional shows? Obviously, there is a plethora of shows and genres to choose from, but maybe they don't want to stray too far from the world of "The Man" Becky Lynch,...

WWE has often been called the land of giants over the decades of its existence. The fans have often seen some of the most remarkable and talented in-ring competitors grace the squared circle. However, there has been one aspect that not only superstars possess, i.e, brute strength and power.

Some top names in that conversation include marquee WWE superstars like John Cena and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. In fact, Cena has been called even stronger than the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar, known for his raw power in the ring. However, all these names are not at the top of the list regarding being called the strongest WWE superstar.

Vince McMahon has always been a polarising figure in WWE. Whether it is his ideas or the way he enforced them on his fellow wrestlers, McMahon has been a captivating character. When one is reigning supreme with a company that has already scaled the skies, there will be tales that garner attention for all the right reasons, and there will be darker events as well.

Despite all the fame, McMahon has been away from WWE ever since he was embroiled in the Janel Grant lawsuit. His relationship with the women in the ring has been chequered and amazing at the same time. Superstars like Trish Stratus and Lita flourished under his supervision, while many had the calibre but somehow couldn’t rock the screens like they should.

Mark Henry was incredibly loyal to WWE and gave his all to the company. However, WWE and Vince McMahon didn’t always recognize his efforts and never gave him the chance to get his hands on the championship belt.

That changed in 2011 when Vince McMahon played a harsh prank on Henry. Which led to the famous Hall of Pain storyline, where Henry finally won his first and only WWE championship. Surprisingly, the cruel joke from WWE’s former main man, which led to Henry almost quitting the company, ended up being the reason for his biggest achievement in WWE.

Brock Lesnar is among the most formidable opponents one can face in the ring, whether it be in the WWE or the UFC. Drew McIntyre’s recent comments about needing to fight the Beast Incarnate inside the squared circle have stoked fans’ desire to see bouts that shake up the arena amid the legal disputes disrupting Lesnar’s incredible wrestling legacy.

Cm Punk has always been a polarizing figure in professional wrestling. Love him or hate him for his approach, his actions still left undeniable change in the wrestling business. During his initial WWE run, as well as his current return, Cm Punk has always been giving fans something special with his technicality, mic skills, and youthful rebelliousness.

Even after having multiple world championships, iconic promos, and memorable feuds, there was always one accolade that was absent during Punk’s first WWE stint, main eventing WrestleMania. The WWE superstar often expressed his frustration about this one missing accomplishment that became his character’s motivation.

Drew McIntyre is one of the most beloved wrestlers in WWE. A powerhouse performer, McIntyre has continued to draw millions of fans to the franchise for years. In fact, he is one of the main players of WWE currently. However, what many might not know is that his feats of glory actually extend beyond his entertainment wrestling career.

Saraya-Jade Bevis, aka Paige from WWE, revealed recently that McIntyre once saved her from another wrestler, who was later accused of child pornography, when she was just 14 years old. Moreover, he made sure that the creep never bothered Paige again by giving him a good thrashing.

However, there is another thing that Vince McMahon was notorious for. That is his habit of pranks. While it might seem like pranking the world’s strongest men now and again is nothing but in good faith to keep them in line, the truth was a little different from their side.

Especially as many said pranks felt like cruelty to the talents at the time they took place. What is interesting, though, is that such a prank went on to create one of the most legendary storylines in the history of WWE even if it came at a cost.

The Undertaker is regarded as one of the most tenured and respected WWE legends in the history of the business. His three decades of destruction, character evolution, impressive in-ring acumen and larger than life persona made him a household name not only in the wrestling business, but also across the globe.

Looking at the physical stature and dominance of The Undertaker, it was unimaginable for any WWE fan to see him get dominated by his opponents. But that all changed when the company witnessed the arrival of one of the biggest freaks of nature who resembled the stature of WWE legend Andre The Giant in 2006. He was none other than The Great Khali.

The Punjabi Giant took down The Phenom with ease and even defeated him in a dominating performance during their first encounter. Over the years, The Great Khali became a renowned wrestler in WWE from India.

Kurt Angle is happy that fans have chosen a new moniker for him instead of “Perc Angle.”

Angle has been called “Perc Angle” by admirers over the years. The moniker has been used in jest, particularly when discussing Angle’s time in Tna when he moonsaulted from a cage after diving off the stage. However, considering his history of addiction, Angle has stated that the moniker has evoked unpleasant recollections. Lately, a lot of fans have chosen to use “Peak Angle” instead of “Perc Angle.”

John Cena might lie about not liking “You Can’t See Me” as an invisible joke but Perc Angle was something Angle himself experienced.

Will Forte has looked back at his Saturday Night Live spinoff MacGruber bombing at the box office. The 2010 comedy infamously debuted to harsh reviews and subsequently underperformed at financially as well.

MacGruber was based on Forte's recurring SNL sketches in which he played a MacGyver-like hero whose attempts to diffuse dangerous situations almost always failed miserably. Despite the movie being packed with SNL stars – including Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph – the project's failure was seen as a black mark on Forte's potential as a movie star.

Forte candidly reflected on MacGruber's failure during a recent interview with Ted Danson on the Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast (via Entertainment Weekly). He admitted that the project bombing was particularly hurtful since it came out only a week after SNL's triumphant season finale.

Last week, Dwayne Johnson made across the internet as he made his much-anticipated return to WWE. While fans were assuming how he would challenge Roman Reigns in WrestleMania, it turns out he had some plans with the current WWE Undisputed Champion, Cody Rhodes. The SmackDown segment took everyone by surprise, as Johnson stated how they have left the bad blood in the past after WrestleMania Xl.

But what caught them off guard was how he proposed to Rhodes to become “his champion” for greatness. Thus, suggesting he switch sides and become his puppet. Though we’ve got to wait for his decision at the Elimination Chamber, three hotshots before him had accepted the offer when opportunity came knocking on their door.

The world of professional sports is captivating due to their impressive stature, personalities, and, most importantly, their athleticism. This is acquired after years of training, practice, and dedication towards the sport, making them global icons and household names.

In the entire sports domain, two particular sports display tremendous athleticism on a regular basis. One is professional wrestling, i.e., majorly seen in promotions like WWE, and another is NBA, i.e., Basketball. Over the years, the fan bases of these respective sports have seen the rise of many top-tier names.

Jax addressed a possible career switch to acting in Hollywood during a recent interview with Screen Rant. For her part, Jax feels comfortable with performing live as one of the stars of WWE, and as a "wrestling diehard," she's not confident she could be just as successful with an acting career. However, she respects her world-famous family member, who starred in the DC movie Black Adam, for pulling it off so well. She then shared that if she were to have her pick of any superhero role, she'd have to go with Wonder Woman.

A WWE title is a dream for all wrestlers, who strive for years to win them. However, the victory does not stop there as the winners also have to defend their title before the next one in line challenges their reign. While some wrestlers defend their titles for hundreds of days, some could not even last minutes.

This week in the USA, the social media platform TikTok was blocked due to privacy concerns. However, the platform was restored within the weekend due to the reported intervention of President-elect Donald Trump. Social media was rife with memes about things that lasted shorter than the TikTok ban and these WWE title reigns are some of them.

Crews was a football player before breaking into an acting career. For many, his breakout role was playing the family patriarch, Julius, on the sitcom Everybody Hates Chris, from 2005 to 2009. He is also known for playing Terry Jeffords on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Crews is also known for his work in various reality shows, even starring in his own reality series, The Family Crews. He is also known for his hosting duties on America’s Got Talent and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

False rumors surfaced online alleging the death of actor and comedian Terry Crews.

These claims quickly spread across social media, leaving fans shocked and concerned.

However, the rumors have been debunked, with Crews himself confirming that he is alive and well.

Despite the rapid spread of these claims, no credible news outlets or official sources confirmed the actor’s death.

Fans love to equate WWE programming to that of "cinema" but cinema is an entirely different beast compared to professional wrestling. That isn't to discredit professional wrestling by any means. It's live theatre, at its core, and theatre is a distant cousin to filmmaking, but nonetheless, movies present a unique challenge for in-ring competitors.

Not everyone is cut out for acting or moviemaking, wrestlers included, but those who have been able to transition their in-ring charisma into movies have always been bound for success. It may not necessarily be for a marquee leading role, but it could be for a show-stealing cameo that leads to more.

Wrestling fans have had a lot of discourse over the years when it comes to Black WWE Champions.

Plenty of others have held tag team and midcard titles, which makes the lack of World Champions even more shocking. It's a controversial topic for many longtime fans.

WWE wasn't even the first wrestling company to have a Black World Champion as their old rival WCW did it first when Ron Simmons captured the top prize in 1992. Thankfully, there were eventually several Black WWE Champions, and the number has grown significantly in recent years. Some of their top stars today, like WWE 2K24 cover girl Bianca Belair, are Black. That should mean the list of Black WWE Champions will...

Chris Jericho Once Took A Dig At WWE For Disrespecting The Icons(Photo Credit –YouTube/Instagram)

It’s no lie that Chris Jericho made his entire career during his stint with WWE. He was one of the most prominent figures during the Attitude Era, and even later, he maintained his superstar status with his mic skills and entertaining persona. However, a few years back, he cut ties with the promotion and joined the rival camp, Aew. Ever since then, he has been vocal about the negatives of his ex-company.

Aew (All Elite Wrestling) was founded in 2019, and Tony Khan serves as its president and CEO. When this promotion was founded, it became a major attraction in the pro wrestling world, and several WWE stars jumped ship. The real shocker was witnessed when veterans like Jericho, Mark Henry, Big Show, and Sting joined Khan’s promotion.

Of course, there were some...

Since the February 2nd episode of Friday Night SmackDown, The Rock has made a return to WWE programming, hinting at his regular appearances leading up to WrestleMania 40. His ongoing feud with Cody Rhodes implies that The Great One will play a significant role in WWE in the coming weeks. With that said, there was also a time when The Great One refused to travel with his old tag team partner, due to one big reason.

The Rock

Fans are eagerly anticipating a potential showdown between The Rock and Roman Reigns, but there’s also a collective desire to ensure that Cody Rhodes’ storyline isn’t overshadowed. Initially, there were concerns about this imbalance, but a more balanced approach has been adopted. As a result, there has been a shift in the trajectory of WrestleMania 40’s storyline. However, fans are now genuinely enjoying the direction it has taken, especially after the initial backlash.

Well, well, well, it seems that Dwayne Johnson might be allegedly misusing his powers in the WWE, and the act was witnessed by millions. However, it is unsure whether the statements were part of a story or whether The Rock was really threatening WWE stars. All we know is that things are about to get interesting.

With Dwayne Johnson becoming a board member of the Tko group, The Rock has some powers to his name. Charging as an authoritative figure, The Rock threatened Seth Rollins that he could take the title of the World Champion away from him and according to a source, Triple H is also allegedly involved in the scene!

Is The Rock Threatening WWE Stars Now?

Let us make our points a bit more clearly. This could all be a part of a script. Well. script or not, The Rock...

Welcome to this week’s review of Aew Dark: Elevation, the opening salvo in the Aew wrestling week. Once again we’ve got the duo of Tony Schiavone and Mark Henry on commentary this week… Let’s see what the show has to offer!

Match #1: Ruby Soho & Skye Blue def. Nikki Victory & Megan Meyers

My Thoughts: You would’ve expected a squash match here but that’s not what we got. Victory and Meyers instead held their own, for the most part, against Soho and Blue. I really dig Megan Meyers look – the horror fan in me can appreciate another genre fan for sure!

My Score: 2 out of 5 Match #2: Parker Boudreaux def. Casey Carrington

My Thoughts: Now This was a squash match! Former Nxt star Parker Boudreaux played the Brock Lesnar card and made short work of Carrington, who only got two hits in before Boudreaux finished him off.
