Hulk Hogan is a huge fan of the work LA Knight is doing in WWE.

While taking part in a charity stream for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Hogan was asked who he would have liked to headline WrestleMania against if he could face someone from today's landscape. Hogan named Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, and Knight as people who he'd like to face.

Hogan explained why he thinks Knight has had such a quick rise in WWE over the last year:

He's a rising superstar and I love the guy to death, man. I love watching him on TV too.

LA Knight has a lot of old school in him, you know? He goes in there and he grinds and he stays on it. But his cadence is what attracted me. It's like, 'Let me tell you something, brother.' He'll say, 'Let me talk to ya.' Same thing. 'Let me tell you something, brother.' 'Let me talk to ya.' It's the same cadence. It's the same vibe. And he's got it down, man. He learned quick. He's a quick study. And man, the application, the practical application, the way he nails things, his placement in the ring, his timing is impeccable. And he's a heck of an athlete. Good looking kid, man. Built like a Greek god. So, it's all coming his way and he's very consistent. I haven't met him but he seems like a really, really, really good person.

The 41-year-old Knight has been feuding with The Bloodline in recent months. At Crown Jewel this November, Reigns defeated Knight to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Interference from The Bloodline helped Reigns win the match.

Knight & Orton teamed together to defeat Jimmy Uso & Solo Sikoa in the main event of SmackDown last Friday.
