During the interview on TSN Off The Road, Landsberg said, “When you talk about the wresting one on ones that we have done, we have had all the greats. This one is our biggest ever. He is probably the biggest moneymaker in wrestling history, the biggest crossover star the ring has ever produced. I got to talk to the guys off camera. This sounds like The Rock’s intro. This is The Rock or Hulk Hogan? I don’t know.”

Both Hogan and Johnson have been two of the biggest moneymakers in the pro wrestling history because of their huge and lovable fanbase. Both have featured in Hollywood movies as well. So, it kindles an argument that who is the biggest out of these two. And that’s why Michael Landsberg joking teased The Hulkster by asking him the same.

What did Hulk Hogan say in his reply?

Hulk Hogan’s answer gave Landsberg clarity as he himself admitted, following The Hulkster’s response. Now, what did Hogan say? The WWE legend noted, “No brother, The Rock is the guy that walks through the door when I open it for him.”
