WWE superstar HHH has pledged his allegiance to West Ham after being asked to name his favourite Premier League team.

The 13-time world champion, who is in London to promote WWE's NXT tour, has explained why he considers himself a Hammer.

"West Ham is probably the closest to what we do - the passion of their fanbase and their loyalty," the 46-year-old told ITV.

"That’s the closest to what we do, at WWE we have the most passionate, loyal fans of all time, but that might be debatable with West Ham."

HHH also tipped West Ham striker Andy Carroll to make the switch from football to wrestling.

"He is tall, likes to play it tough with the opposition and has the right looks with the long hair. He could be interesting," he said.
