During his tenure, Hulk Hogan served as the company’s figurehead and was important in providing the business a boost. His appearances in Hollywood and television greatly aided him in gaining followers all over the world, and it was clearly the major factor in his success and stardom.

He possessed the charm, physicality, and distinctive character that were essential for 1980s wrestlers. However, The Hulkster has also received some harsh criticism besides his legion of fans.

Hogan has haters as much as aficionados. Plenty of WWE fans believe Hogan was just skilled in just a few basic moves and that his association with Vince McMahon made him a great wrestler. Likewise, UFC fighter Daniel Cormier recently blasted Hogan on Twitter.

Cormier had a beef with a well-known figure before. For those who are unaware, ‘DC’ and the UFC light heavyweight fighter Jon Jones had their first encounter after their first meeting did not turn out so well. Further, both criticized each other and Cormier asserted Jones insulted him from the beginning, setting the stage for their protracted dispute. However, this time, Cormier’s criticism was on WWE Legend Hulk Hogan.

‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage Destroyed Hulk Hogan for Not Being Man Enough for a Noble Cause: “What’s Wrong With That You Coward?”

Why was Hulk Hogan the target of Daniel Cormier’s criticism?

DC has always been a fan of the WWE since he was a young boy, just like many UFC champions. He recently shared a video that included the legendary Hulkster versus Macho Man match from WrestleMania 5. The former UFC heavyweight champion was upset with the outcome, which is what prompted him to rage at Hogan.

In the video, he stated, “This right here was the sh*t that always drove me crazy. This sh*t right, it was a deal breaker for me. Look, I mean poetry motion look, boom. That sh*t was old. Pin him, man. This sh*t is f**kin done. This is the champion. Look, not even a 2 count. All of a sudden, he comes. Oh my god, Jesus Christ! What is happening? I remember I used to watch this as a kid and just turned it off. As soon as this used to out to turn it off.”

It should be noted that Hogan has before eluded the best finisher. The Madison Square Garden bout he played in where he escaped the Camel Clutch versus Iron Sheik is still vivid in the minds of the audience. Consequently, this was the reason for DC’s rage. In his opinion, he really can not tolerate this.
