While speaking with Radio Yorkshire to promote his upcoming Sheffield Arena show Hogan had the following to say on current WWE Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens:
“I hate to brag about it but I’m the first one to point the finger at Kevin Owens. I saw him on NXT, like his second match, and saw him just chop, beat, grind and beating his guy down. Doing it the old school way and really understanding how to get heat. Doing it the old school way and I said, “That’s the guy.” I said, “That’s the guy.” I don’t care if he looks like a wrestler or looks like an ice cream salesman. I don’t care. That’s the guy.”
