Sylvester Stallone - English
WWE - English
In a moving tribute after the death of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, Sylvester Stallone spoke about his all-time respect for his Rocky III co-star, calling him “in a class of his own.” The quote came on August 13, 2025, during the TMZ Presents: The Real Hulk Hogan special.
Stallone discussed working with him on the 1982 movie, noting that although he was careful at first, because Hogan had this huge body, he wanted to cast him so that they had a “David and Goliath” scenario.

Deep admiration toward the WWE superstar
He complimented Hogan on his athleticism and accuracy, noting how Hogan would perform stunts with such dedication that he was actually taking the hit himself, in order not to hurt Stallone. “He was a magician,” Stallone said regarding the skill of Hogan in making violent scenes appear and feel real.
The actor also provided stories from his own experience on set, with one of them being a very painful experience. It all happened when Hogan’s shin kicked him accidentally when they were performing a stunt. In the process, Stallone proved Hogan’s professionalism and concern for safety when working on their scenes and way more.
Hogan was one of a kind
Going back to Hogan’s wider context, Stallone cemented his wide-ranging influence in wrestling and entertainment by stating, “Hulk was in a class of his own.” He explained that Hogan was not replaceable anywhere in terms of presence or talent, and his mark on mainstream culture had been undeniable.
Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, died July 24, 2025, at age 71.His death has prompted an outpouring of compliments and tributes from fans and co-workers alike for his success as a pioneer in the professional wrestling sport and much respected public icon.
What is next for Sylvester Stallone?
Mr. Stallone is not taking things slowly in 2025. The ‘Rocky‘ and ‘Rambo‘ star has made for himself multiple kind of films, TV projects, and even a memoir. On the big screen, he will be returning as Barney Ross in The Expendables 5 and will also be starring in the action-thriller Alarum.
On TV, Stallone is back for Season 3 of Tulsa King and is also producing the spin-off NOLA King. During October, he is expected to release his memoir, The Steps, which will clearly offer a deep dive into his life and career.
With more action, drama, and behind-the-scenes ventures on the way, Stallone is proving that his legendary career is far from being over.

Browns QB Dillon Gabriel should be getting some of the attention paid to Shedeur Sanders
The Cleveland Browns have been looking for a quarterback for more than a quarter century. They might have drafted a viable option. It's just not the draft pick everyone is talking about.Shedeur Sanders is a rare story, a fifth-round pick who has overshadowed every other player selected in the draft. That includes his teammate drafted two rounds earlier, Dillon Gabriel.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThat has made for a very strange situation in which Gabriel played well in the preseason and nobody seems to care. All anyone wants to talk about is the player behind Gabriel on the depth chart (and who has been behind Gabriel on the depth chart since they were both drafted).On another team, perhaps in another season, a third-round quarterback playing as well as Gabriel would have actually gotten some notice.Dillon Gabriel has a strong preseasonIt's telling that the most attention […]

How to bet on the Broncos: Super Bowl odds, win total, props, best futures bets for Denver in 2025
After the failed Russell Wilson experiment, the Denver Broncos began 2024 with a rookie quarterback in Bo Nix, who the team selected with the 12th overall pick in last year's draft. Many saw it as a reach, even with Nix being the sixth quarterback taken. But Sean Payton saw Nix as an ideal fit for his system, and after a rough stretch to open his career, Nix flourished and led Denver to the postseason while finishing 10th in scoring, including six games with 30 or more points scored. Nix completed 66% of his passes with 29 touchdowns to 12 interceptions. The AFC West runs through Kansas City, and if Nix and Co. want to take the division crown from the Chiefs, the Broncos will need Nix to avoid the dreaded sophomore slump that's plagued so many young quarterbacks over the years, such as […]

Eagles to waive OL Kenyon Green five months after trading for former first-round pick
USATSI The Philadelphia Eagles are making a notable roster move ahead of Tuesday's 53-man deadline by waiving offensive lineman Kenyon Green, according to CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz. The reigning Super Bowl champions traded for Green and a fifth-round pick in March in a deal that gave the Houston Texans safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson and a sixth-round pick. Green was expected to compete for a backup guard spot but clearly did not make the kind of progress needed to keep a roster spot. While the Eagles appear set with their formidable starting five of Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, Tyler Steen and Lane Johnson, they have been active in reshuffling some of their reserves on the offensive line. On Sunday, Philly made a total of three trades -- two of which included offensive linemen. The Eagles acquired offensive tackle Fred Johnson from the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a seventh-round pick, and then sent offensive tackle Darian Kinnard to the Green […]
