Hulk Hogan is one of the most famous pro wrestling personalities. In the 1980s and the 1990s, Hogan had established a massive fanbase of his. He was immensely popular among the fans. And many people, including Colin Cowherd, believes Hulk Hogan took pro wrestling and WWE to new heights.

During an interview with Jim Ross on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, Colin Cowherd claimed NBA legends, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, made NBA popular again in America. Colin Cowherd compared Bird and Johnson‘s impact on NBA to the impact or effect Hogan had on pro wrestling and WWE.

The famous media personality then asked his guest, Jim Ross, about Hogan. Ross said, “The proliferation of the WWE, then the WWF, going global, going national, was Hogan. Hogan was the lead mule that pulled the wagon to take McMahon further down the road.”

Earlier in the interview, Jim Ross picked Stone Cold Steve Austin, Dwayne Johnson, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair as his Mount Rushmore of pro wrestling.
