Hulk Hogan, who made his return to WWE programming last Friday as the host of Crown Jewel, reflected on his on screen appearance – stating that he’s still more bulky than many of the active wrestlers and wants to reduce weight because he doesn’t want to look like he could beat up the whole of the WWE roster anymore.
This tweet caught the attention of Rusev, who used the opportunity to call out Hogan for a match at WrestleMania 35.
The Hulkster’s reply, however, was as cutting as could be. He said that Rusev is no different than any of the other giants he’s fought and defeated and also went on to imply that he’ll take his wife Lana as his manager once he’s done defeating him.

Ok, today is a new day. After seeing myself on Crown Jewel I have decided to get serious and get under 300lbs. I looked huge, swole, jacked and my arms are still bigger than most wrestlers legs. I don’t want to look like I can beat up the whole @WWE roster anymore. Only Love HH
