WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash offered significant praise for Rhea Ripley during a recent broadcast of his podcast, “Kliq This.” Nash expressed that he is a “mark” for Ripley and highlighted his strong belief in her capabilities as a performer.
Detailing her athletic prowess, Nash stated, “Rhea is so athletic. Rhea looks like she could go against probably 50% of the male roster.”
Nash further elaborated on Ripley’s star quality by drawing a parallel to Hulk Hogan. He recounted his own early impressions of Hogan, explaining how Ripley evokes a similar larger-than-life aura when she appears on television. “A star to me is, like I remember when I was a mark and I went down to Joe Louis and I saw Hogan work, and I swore Hogan was 6’9″, because he was just bigger than life, his charisma, everything else, and then when I finally met him, he wasn’t anywhere near that size. It’s the same thing with Rhea. I thought Rhea was like 6’0″, 185 lbs girl, and she’s probably 5’7″, but on TV, the way she moves, she comes across as probably bigger than life.”
