WWE continues to pay tribute to one of its icons, Hulk Hogan.
The wrestling company honored Hogan at the start of Monday Night Raw on July 28 at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, four days after his death.
The Raw roster came out in the arena to kick off the show, with WWE chief content officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque speaking about Hogan’s impact of wrestling.
‘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,’ Levesque said. ‘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.’
The honorary 10-bell salute then rang as people in the crowd held up signs and chanted Hogan.
Also with the roster was Hogan’s son, Nick, and longtime friend and WCW collaborator Eric Bischoff.
A tribute video also played highlighting the biggest moments of his Hogan’s career, along with other moments outside of the ring.
It was the second tribute for Hogan after one was done at Friday Night SmackDown on July 25, the day after his death.
Hogan died at the age of 71 after he suffered a cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida. Considered one of the biggest wrestling stars in history, he was a six-time WWE Champion and inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice, in 2005 for himself and in 2020 as part of the New World Order.
