WWE veteran and legendary wrestler Arn Anderson has given his seal of approval to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star Powerhouse Hobbs, encouraging fans to keep a close eye on the talented heavyweight. In an exclusive video with Wrestling’s Bill Apter, Anderson spoke highly of Hobbs, praising his skills and promising that he has a bright future ahead of him.
Hobbs, a former TNT Champion and current member of The Don Callis Family, has been making waves in AEW with his electrifying performances and brutal moveset. Unfortunately, he recently suffered an injury during his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship match against Jon Moxley on the April 24 edition of AEW Dynamite. Despite this setback, Anderson believes Hobbs has the potential to reach new heights in the wrestling world.
Anderson’s endorsement of Hobbs is not surprising, given the AEW star’s impressive resume. Hobbs has already made a name for himself in the wrestling world, and his match against Moxley showcased his incredible strength and agility. Moreover, his respect for the wrestling legends who came before him is evident in his decision to seek permission from WWE legend Lex Luger before using the Torture Rack, a move made famous by Luger during his career.
Luger, currently signed to WWE as an Ambassador, praised Hobbs for his professionalism and respect for the wrestling tradition. He revealed on his Lex Expressed podcast that Hobbs called him to ask for permission to use the Torture Rack, a move that Luger popularized during his wrestling days. Luger went on to praise Hobbs, stating that he doesn’t consider the Torture Rack his move, and that Hobbs has earned his respect.
Anderson’s endorsement of Hobbs is a significant vote of confidence in the AEW star’s abilities, and wrestling fans would do well to take notice. With his impressive moveset, respect for the wrestling tradition, and endorsement from wrestling legends, Powerhouse Hobbs is undoubtedly one to watch in professional wrestling.
