Former WWE Star Bishop Dyer Calls Hulk Hogan & This HOFer The ‘First Global Superstars’

Former WWE star Bishop Dyer has discussed the impact of Hulk Hogan, naming him and Andre the Giant as two of the primary global stars. 

Dyer, FKA Baron Corbin, was recently asked in regards to the impact of Hogan on pro wrestling following his demise. He stated on “Busted Open” that Hogan and his long-time rival, Andre helped WWE turn out to be global and were two stars who were instrumental in transforming wrestling.

“I mean, I just, him [Hogan] and Andre were, in a way, the primary global Superstars, you already know. They’re those that took it from territories and throughout the U.S. and have become global,” Dyer began. “I mean, you even watch stuff from like when Hulk worked in Japan, and it was crazy because he’s like doing technical wrestling. And he was so talented at what he did within the ring, they usually just form of made it a worldwide entity on the time. When you consider, you already know, Vince having to mortgage the whole lot and putting all of it on WrestleMania, and like, without individuals who outreached that wrestling bubble, that probably would’ve never happened.”

Dyer stated that legends like The Rock and Steve Austin followed in Hogan and Andre’s footsteps, taking WWE — and pro wrestling — to greater heights. 

“We owe our careers, superstars now and in the longer term, we owe our careers to the pioneers, the unique pioneers to this. They’re the explanation it still is what it’s,” he added.

One other former WWE star, Matt Hardy, also believes that Hogan played a key role in making pro wrestling a mainstream type of entertainment, while stating how his controversies impacted his legacy.
