Josh Hokit Wrestling: UFC Heavyweight Names Kane, Rey Mysterio and Sting

Josh hokit wrestling came up with a clear answer from UFC heavyweight Josh Hokit: he still goes back and watches old clips, and he says the appeal is in the characters and the angles. He named Kane, Rey Mysterio and Sting from his fandom, then explained why that older style still clicks for him.

Josh Hokit and old WWE angles

Hokit said he watches the clips now for a different reason than he did as a fan. “Yeah, so now I go back and I watch the clips. I’m like, it is good acting, and it’s like, I just… now I watch it just for the characters, and I’m like, ‘oh, that’s an interesting angle.’”

He did not stop at one name. In the same conversation, he pointed to Jake the Snake, Mr. Perfect and Macho Man while talking about old-school wrestling angles, then added, “I was like, ‘ah, I see why people liked it.’”

Kane, Rey Mysterio and Sting

His favorites were specific. “Kane had the mask, right? I liked the guy with the mask for whatever reason. They were always like scary and, uh, Kane, Rey Mysterio. Um, Sting comes to mind for whatever reason,” Hokit said.

That list does more than show nostalgia. It ties a UFC heavyweight to a wrestling fandom built on presentation as much as physicality, and it puts classic WWE-era personalities at the center of what still holds his attention.

Helen Yee Sports interview

Hokit made the comments in an interview with Helen Yee Sports, where he spoke about old wrestling clips as something he still revisits. He described the material as “good acting” and said he watches it now for the characters and the angles, not just the action.

The conversation also pointed toward a possible future move to WWE, which gives the comments a practical edge beyond nostalgia. For now, the clearest takeaway is that Hokit is not talking about wrestling as a casual viewer; he is naming the wrestlers, the style, and the storytelling that still shape how he sees it.
