Hulk Hogan is impressed by Bron Breakker, who has risen up the ranks in WWE in quick fashion.
After being introduced as part of the NXT 2.0 group, he became the NXT Champion, where he had a long reign. He also had a run as a Tag Team Champion. He was called up to the main roster earlier this year.
While speaking with SportsKeeda, Hogan discussed the potential of Breakker in WWE.
Hogan said, “He’s something else. He’s wise beyond his years. To be that intense and to know that the red light is on and be able to stay in that zone is very impressive. If they do the right thing with him, that could be the next Stone Cold [Steve Austin], Rock, or Hulk Hogan. He could be the guy.”
Hogan was then asked whether he saw similarities to Bill Goldberg.
Hogan responded, “A lot of similarities. He has that extra spice. Bill had a certain thing. I had a certain thing. Rock had a certain thing. Bron Breakker has all of the above, plus he has a little extra spice on his plate. He’s ramped it up, and he’s just getting started. I can’t even imagine what’s going to happen when he really figures it out. He’s beyond the ‘quick kill’ protection. He can go, from what I see. He’s been broke in the correct way. He’s put the time in. He’s ready to go. Moving forward, I hope he learns and picks up more wisdom. Some guys are in the business for 15 to 20 years; they think they’re smart and they’re main event guys, but they never figure it out. I hope Bron Breakker figures it out. If he does, he’s going to be hard to deal with.”
Breakker will challenge Sami Zayn for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at WWE Money in the Bank.
