Tom Brady just dropped a controversial pick for the greatest WWE superstar of all time, and its Hulk Hogan.
During his appearance on Impaulsive with Logan Paul, the NFL icon was asked who he considers the WWE GOAT. Without hesitation, Brady said, Hulk Hogan.
Bradys choice comes at a strange time, considering Hogan has been catching heat for a recent slip-up involving Shelton Benjamin. While promoting his Real American Freestyle Wrestling promotion, Hogan attempted to name-drop some of the top amateur wrestlers hes encountered. But instead of giving Benjamin proper credit, Hogan referred to him as Benjamin Shelton.
The botched name drop didnt sit well with Benjamin, who fired back on May 6. He took to Twitter and didnt mince words, writing, Message to @HulkHogan. You lost me forever with your dont get caught or as you would call it apology speech. So rather than screw up my name and pretend we ever had any sort of camaraderie which we never had. Please do me a favor & the tweet ended with a meme of Will Smith shouting, KEEP MY NAME OUT OF YOUR F**KING MOUTH.
Benjamins rant was a clear reference to Hogans widely criticized apology over racist comments that leaked years ago, comments that still haunt Hogans reputation today.
Meanwhile, Bradys pick of Hogan as the WWE GOAT is also raising eyebrows. The former WWE Champion remains a polarizing figure, and with Tom Brady potentially attending WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, his endorsement of Hogan is bound to draw mixed reactions.
What do you think about Tom Brady calling Hulk Hogan the WWE GOAT? Was it a well-deserved nod or a major misstep given Hogans controversial past? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
