Rousey is currently going viral for her anti-WWE comments and her criticism of Alexa Bliss. She wasn't happy with WWE putting her in a feud with Little Miss Bliss on the RAW brand seven years ago.

On The Lapsed Fan podcast, Ronda Rousey talked about the late Hulk Hogan and shared the advice that he gave her back in the day. Rousey appreciated the veteran's advice but had a different mindset when it came to pro wrestling. Here's what she said:

"One word of advice that he gave me," Rousey said, "was 'Keep your boots on the ground, kid.' He was basically telling me don't go out there and do a bunch of crazy s*** because you need to preserve your body. I think he was more of [the type to ask] 'How do I tell a story by doing as little, physically, as possible?' I respect that very much but I'm also not that person. I want to do the cool, athletic s*** because I'm an athlete." (H/T WrestlingInc)
