Kevin Nash: “I lost another brother. Icon doesn’t even touch it. Rest in power my friend. NWO 4 Life….and beyond.”

The Miz: “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.”
Marc Mero: “Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my friend and wrestling legend, Hulk Hogan. Terry Gene Bollea — known to millions as Hulk Hogan — was more than an icon in the ring. He was a man with a big heart and a genuine desire to help others. He was a proud supporter of my school program, Champion of Choices, and was always willing to lend a hand — whether it was recording a promo to help us book school events or signing an autograph for a student who was hurting. One moment that speaks volumes about his character was when he took the time to personally call my friend, Delvis Franco, who was battling cancer, just to lift his spirits. I’ll truly miss him. He was one of the greats — not just in professional wrestling, but in the way he treated people. Rest in peace, Hulkster. You’ll always be remembered, brother.”
