“Ladies and gentlemen, we lost one of the biggest and most globally recognized icons in the world. A man I grew up watching, was fortunate enough to share the ring with, and like so many of us, were honored to call a friend,” WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque said.
“The truth is, he captivated millions of people and inspired them around the globe. We would not be standing here right now, all of us together, if it was not for him.”
“Monday Night Raw” took place in Detroit, where the crowd chanted Hulk Hogan’s name as the WWE played a video montage in his memory. A similar tribute was also done on “Friday Night SmackDown.”

Nick Hogan shared a heartfelt tribute to his father, expressing his deep sadness over the loss and reminiscing about the wonderful memories they shared.
“This has been overwhelming and extremely difficult,” he wrote on Instagram. “Hearing so many kind words and stories about my dad’s life, interactions, and experiences with everyone has been incredible and comforting. My dad was the most incredible person I’ve ever known and will always be my hero.”
“I spent a lot of time with him the past few years after moving back to Florida to be closer to him and I am so grateful for those memories. They are the best moments in my life. I would do anything to have him back, but I know now that he will always be watching over me.”
