Hulk Hogan is such a big fan of Johnny Manziel that he came up with a video praising the player. Wearing a bright lime green shirt, red headgear, shades, and his iconic Hulkster âstache, the wrestler began his video by saying: âHulk Hogan here, the greatest of all time.â
Hogan then introduced the reason for his on-screen appearance: âBut the next greatest thatâs coming along, thatâs gonna change the whole world of football, is âJohnny Football Jackâ, Johnny Manziel.â
The Hulkster then moved away from the center of the screen, revealing a cardboard cutout of Manziel about to make a pass. He began to express his admiration in earnest.
âYou know no one could tell except Hulk Hogan that heâd have the heart of a lion,â the 60-year-old celebrity said.
Hogan continued, saying âNo one could tell except Hulk Hogan that heâd have the greatest arm thatâs gonna be in the NFL,â as he flexed his own arm, showing off his bulging muscles. And according to him, no one else but him could tell that Manziel is âa superior being, a superior athleteâ because of course, it takes on to know one, right?
Last Thursday, the Texas A&M quarterback had his Pro Day, his official workout for the annual NFL drafts. Present were 30 NFL teams, seven head coaches, and at least eight general managers. The Pro Day even drew the attention of Texas governor Rick Perry and former president George H.W. Bush and wife Barbara.
Manziel threw a total of 65 passes, and all but two were caught by six receivers. He definitely impressed his audience, and after the workout thanked them for coming. Later that day he met with several teams to discuss his pro career.
Hogan may have seen enough of Manziel’s game to have developed such an extreme admiration, but he also may not know Manzielâs name by heart. The wrestler says in his video, âSo, you know somethinâ? When Johnny Mantell, Manziel, I call him âJohnny Footballââwhat the heck, I call everybody âbrotherâ.â The blunder and excuse were said in rapid successionâperhaps he was that excited?
Overcoming his slip-up Hogan said, âWhen Johnny Football takes over the NFL, whatchagonna do when the host of Wrestlemania 30 is behind Johnny Football and we run wildâonâyou?â he growled, while slowly throwing a massive knuckle at the camera.
What will pro football and wrestling fans do, indeed? Is the Hulkster right in his predictions of Manzielâs success as a âsuperior athleteâ in the NFL? Or will he turn out to be just another football player who’ll eventually falter once he begins his pro career? Weâll just have to find out.
Hulk Hogan thinks Johnny Manziel is the next “greatest of all time”. Watch video.
