Buff Bagwell recently commented on WWE Legend Hulk Hogan passing away

Like many veterans of the business, Buff Bagwell also admired Hulk Hogan's work. According to him, the Hulkster's demise was a completely unexpected event.

Speaking about Hogan's passing, Buff Bagwell expressed how devastating it was to hear and said:

"I'm devastated on this. It really is a big deal, man. Anybody that didn't like pro wrestling, anybody that didn't like Hulk Hogan, if they had to pick a Mount Rushmore for pro wrestling, then Hulk Hogan would a hundred percent be one on everybody's Mount Rushmores, so that's incredible."
