Throughout his career, Hulk Hogan worked with several popular names. AEW commentator Jim Ross is a former colleague of his. Interestingly, in a recent appearance on his Grilling JR podcast, the veteran revealed that Hogan was hard to work with and he did not enjoy the experience. He described the legend as insecure and more concerned about creative than money.

"He didn’t trust anybody. He thought everybody had an ulterior motive, and that was out to get him. And, you know, I don’t know why I would have went to the trouble of negotiating with him, which is another adventure, or anything like that. He was more concerned, seemingly, demeanor, this is my opinion, he was certainly more concerned about creative and how he was going to be used than the money he was offered on his contract," said Ross.
