Edge said, “Also, the greatest wrestling cameo Thunderlips (played by Hulk Hogan), the ultimate male vs. the ultimate meatball.”

He added, “And the Stallone, Rocky goes, ‘Hey he’s pretty big. How much do you think he eats? And then Mickey goes about 200 to two and a half pounds. Weighing 200 and two and a half pounds, ‘The Itallion Stallion’ Rocky Balboa. It’s so good.”

Judging by his excitement we can see that Edge is a fan of the $1.9 billion franchise. ‘The Ultimate Opportunist’ detailed a few dialogues that include Hogan’s character. Furthermore, the 11-time world champion also shared how much Rocky Balboa actor Sylvester Stallone inspires him.
