 The iconic show host Steve Harvey received a token of appreciation from the bad guy of the WWE. Recently, Harvey during his all-new show spoke about the former WWE Champion. Usually, when we scroll through this villain’s Twitter account, it is mostly about trolling his former rival Hulk Hogan.

The Hulkster stood tall in 1984 when he defeated the ‘Camel Clutch’ god for the WWE Championship at Madison Square Garden, New York.

The WWE legend barely shows appreciation towards others. However, today The Iranian legend did an inevitable thing for Steve Harvey on the internet. Legendary WWE heel The Iron Sheik, on his Twitter account, had good words for iconic host Steve Harvey.
