Hulk Hogan may be a controversial figure in wrestling, but Jim Ross believes he still holds the mantle as the biggest wrestler of all time.
While one of wrestling’s top stars, Hogan’s legacy has taken a beating in recent years, especially following racist comments made by the Hulkster coming to light in 2015.
On a recent edition of his “Grilling JR” podcast, Ross spoke candidly about Hogan’s legacy in spite of the racism controversy and allegations of politicking. He said,
“Arguably the biggest star in the history of pro wrestling. Still. There’s not an eraser on any booker’s pencil that’s strong enough, big enough to erase Hogan’s contributions.
“He’s Babe Ruth. He’s the friggin’ Babe Ruth of wrestling. And any way else you look at it, I think’s not being fair to Hogan.”
WWE removed Hulk Hogan from its Hall of Fame following the racism scandal. He was welcomed back in 2018 and later received a second induction as part of the nWo.
