When I was a kid I ate my vitamins, said my prayers because Hulk Hogan told me to. He was someone I looked up to; a larger-than-life presence I copied constantly growing up. The voice, flexing, charisma, he made you want to be bold, loud, confident.
RIP, Hulk Hogan. pic.twitter.com/XrGgb6GAGz— The Miz (@mikethemiz) July 24, 2025

Hulk was the man period.
I often forget I got to work with and film segments with him regularly during his TNA run.
Wrestling will never be the same.

When I nearly lost my dad 8 years ago, one of the few people who was there for all of it was Hulk Hogan.
My heart breaks for Nick and Brooke.
Rest in peace, brother
