Jaxson Ryker Explains Why Hulk Hogan Is His Favorite Wrestler

Jaxson Ryker is the final remaining member of the Forgotten Sons. His former partners, Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake, were released at different times. This is an ironic twist considering how Ryker’s pro Trump tweets during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement cause the trio to get pulled from television in the first place.

Faith Life Fitness recently spoke to Jaxson Ryker about a few things. During a rapid-fire question session, Jaxson was asked to name his favorite wrestler. He said “Hulk Hogan,” and then explained his affinity for the Hulkster.

“Hulk Hogan. I was blown away by him at five years old, just captivated by him. Definitely Hulk Hogan. I got a chance to work with Hogan in 2010 and 2012 in the ring. I saw him at WrestleMania this year, went up and shook his hand, and he instantly remembered me. It was so cool. He’s like, ‘It’s good to see you, brother.'”

Hulk Hogan has also been the source of many controversies, mainly stemming from that time he admitted to being racist. Hogan didn’t know he was being filmed, which is why he won that lawsuit against Gawker, but that’s not really the point.

Hogan’s appearance at WrestleMania garnered boos from the live crowd, but at least he had a pleasant interaction with Jaxson Ryker backstage.
