WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan recently touched on a variety of topics including Sting joining the WWE, how John Cena is backstage, The Streak of The Undertaker ending at WrestleMania XXX last April and more.
Jeff Hardy Discusses CM Punk, Sting And Retirement
Hogan spoke with Busted Open and was asked about his thoughts on Sting joining the WWE family, despite the fact that an official talent contract has yet to be signed.
"He made his debut at Comic Con and that's all well and good," Hogan told the site. "I ran into him at the airport because we're all on the same flight. I said to him that he needs to wrestle and this is something that needs to be done. He's never established himself on the big stage. No disrespect to his accomplishments, but he was always a southern type of wrestler and always was with NWA or WCW."

He added: "He has to make that statement. He's still got it and he can still do it and he's still over. If it's not The Undertaker, he needs to wrestle [John] Cena. That's the match. You gotta get in there and have to make your mark. It can't be just a game or an action figure."
Speaking of Cena, Hogan also touched on how the WWE World Heavyweight Champion acts backstage.
"There's more to this business than just winning the belt," Hogan said. "This is a business. Cena is relentless. He'll go to meetings, he'll meet Wal-Mart owners, shareholders I mean this guy knows what it takes to generate revenue. He can talk to anybody whether it be 4,000 shareholders, New York Stock Exchange, a group of women with breast cancer, he knows how to handle himself and he understands emotions and that's why he's my man."
Hogan touched on the upcoming main event of SummerSlam that pits Brock Lesnar against Cena for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on Aug. 17 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
"To me, I've been around for a long time and I've done a lot to help this business, but it fails in comparison to what John Cena has done," he said. "In my opinion, John Cena is the greatest WWE Champion of all time. If Brock Lesnar was to beat him, creative storyline wise yeah you have something there. I hope he knows he's got huge shoes to fill. I don't think Cena's going anywhere. I may go out there and hit Brock with a chair just so he doesn't win."
Lesnar, of course, ended The Streak of The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX in New Orleans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on April 6, and "The Hulkster" shared his thoughts on that.
"It was a WrestleMania moment that ranks right up there with slamming Andre The Giant," he said. "I was sitting in catering grabbing a cup of coffee and my son Nick and I were watching this and he asked who was gonna win. I said The Undertaker of course. When Brock beat him it was like 80,000 people sitting in a funeral. It was something I'll never forget."
Hogan also touched on his appearance alongside "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Rock at WrestleMania. The full interview can be viewed here.
