When you think of big names in wrestling, the first thing that comes to mind is Hulk Hogan. Hogan was a great wrestler and even better negotiator when it came to signing contracts with the companies that he worked for. He was an astute businessman when it came to doing deals and AEW star Paul Wight aka The Big Show revealed a surprising name who he says is the next Hulk Hogan when it comes hashing out deals. Wight was a guest on Submission Radio when he revealed the superstar who he believes has the best backstage game since the Hulkster.

“I always tease Brock when I see him, I say he’s got the best backstage game since Hulk Hogan. I would see Brock walk in the buildings when he came back after the UFC stuff and people would flatten themselves against the walls because like, they were so intimidated by Brock, and Brock is a great guy. He’s one of the most honest people you’ll ever meet in your life because if he likes you, he likes you and if he don’t, he just doesn’t mess with you.” 

Brock Lesnar signed a new deal with WWE in August of 2021 that goes through 2023. Although he hasn’t wrestled that frequently, Lesnar still went on to have some epic matches in 2022. He had a great match with Bobby Lashley at the Day 1 pay-per-view where he won the WWE title. He then went on to fight Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 38 in a match that was billed as the biggest match in WWE history. Lesnar hasn’t been seen in the WWE since then but given the deal that he signed, expect him to be back sooner rather than later.

Lashley wants Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 39

Bobby Lashley recently appeared on WWE’s The Bump and revealed that he wants to face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 39. Lashley said, “If we’re in Hollywood, it’s a big matchup, for me, I’ve always had those really tough challenges going into WrestleMania. Of course, this one has to be another big one, me and Brock, we still have a little score to settle. I have a win over him, and then he ended up winning my title back.” Both men took on each other in what was a highly anticipated match at last year’s Royal Rumble. The All-Mighty scored the win thanks to some help from Roman Reigns.
