On what would have been Hulk Hogan’s 72nd birthday, his son Nick Hogan shared an emotional tribute to the late WWE Hall of Famer, who passed away on July 24.
Posting to Instagram on Monday, August 11, Nick shared a throwback photo of himself alongside “The Hulkster,” expressing both grief and love for his father, whom he called his “best friend and hero.”
“Happy birthday dad! I love you and miss you more than anything,” Nick wrote. “I wish we could have celebrated together today but I know you’re with me always ❤️💛”
The post was met with an outpouring of love and condolences from fans and friends alike.
Nick, who attended the televised WWE Raw tribute to his father in Detroit on July 28, has focused on celebrating Hogan’s positive legacy, in contrast to the more complex and sometimes controversial remarks from his sister, Brooke Hogan, and his mother, Linda Hogan.
For decades, August 11 was a day of celebration for millions of Hulkamaniacs around the globe. This first birthday since Hogan’s passing has become a day of remembrance, with tributes pouring in across social media. WWE has honored Hogan’s career extensively on TV, highlighting his unmatched influence on the wrestling business.
Nick Hogan’s simple yet heartfelt message serves as a reminder that behind the immortal legend was a beloved father whose legacy will live on forever.
