Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan was a big man. Standing at 6 feet and 7 inches, the former WWE champion was clearly an immovable object.

However, in the pro-wrestling industry, there are various superstars who were taller and well-built than him, but Hogan had immense strength. WWE legend Brian Blair recently detailed in an interview that people these days easily overlook the fact that Hogan was one of the strongest beings of the industry.

With his over-the-top promos and in-ring antics, sometimes the WWE Universe can overlook the sheer strength that the Hulkster displayed inside the square circle.

Speaking on the latest episode of Stories With Brasco And Bradshaw‘, Brian Blair confessed people don’t give enough credit to Hogan and overlook the fact that he is immensely tough.

“Terry [Hulk Hogan] is a lot tougher than people give him credit for. A lot of people don’t realize what he went through and of course, to the best of my knowledge the only one shoot fight he got with was Verne Gagne,” he said.

The moment he picked up Andre the Giant and suplexed him, the WWE Universe went crazy.

Not only in WWE, but Hogan also wrestled big guys from everywhere. With his incredible matches against Vader, one can agree that Hogan had the strength to hold on his own.
