Hulk Hogan’s Son Nick Hogan Attends WWE SummerSlam to Commemorate His Late Father

Nick Hogan, the son of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, was visibly moved as the WWE paid tribute to his father at the recent SummerSlam event. The emotional moment took place on Saturday, August 2, as Nick and his wife Tana Lea were present at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to honour Hulk Hogan’s legacy.

The WWE tribute to Hulk, whose real name was Terry Bollea, was a heartfelt acknowledgment of his unparalleled contributions to the world of professional wrestling. As the iconic theme song “Real American” played in the background, Nick was seen trying to hold back tears, gesturing a prayer and placing his hand over his heart, while fans in the stadium cheered in solidarity.

Nick’s appearance at SummerSlam was a continuation of the wrestling community’s support following his father’s passing from a heart attack at the age of 71 on July 24. Just days before the SummerSlam tribute, Nick had attended WWE’s Monday Night RAW show, where another touching homage was paid to Hulk Hogan, with Nick visibly moved by the show of respect and remembrance.

The significance of Hulk Hogan’s legacy was further highlighted on August 1, when the state of Florida, Hulk’s long-time residence, declared the date as “Hulk Hogan Day.” Nick took to Instagram to express his gratitude for the honour, underscoring his father’s deep connection to Florida and how proud Hulk would have been of the recognition.

Hulk Hogan, known for carrying professional wrestling on his back for three decades, left behind a lasting impact on the sport and the hearts of fans worldwide. His children, Nick and daughter Brooke, have continued to honour his memory and legacy in various ways, keeping his spirit alive in the wrestling community and beyond.

The outpouring of support and tributes following Hulk Hogan’s passing is a testament to the profound impact he had on the world of wrestling and the lives of those who knew and admired him. As Nick Hogan stands strong in commemorating his father’s legacy, the wrestling world unites in remembering the one and only Hulk Hogan, a true icon in the realm of sports entertainment.
