WWE has organized a significant tribute to honor the late Hulk Hogan, sparing no effort to celebrate the legendary wrestler. According to Fightful Select, WWE has reached out to several legends and Hall of Famers to record tribute segments for SmackDown in memory of Hogan.
One of the expected participants is WWE Hall of Famer “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan. Duggan shared on Facebook that he and his wife are heading to Cleveland to pay their respects. The tribute will air on tonight’s SmackDown, which is taking place at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio.
Shortly before Hogan’s passing, Jimmy Hart denied the rumors about his condition; however, Hogan’s death followed weeks of health concerns. On the morning of July 24th, emergency responders rushed to Hogan’s home due to a cardiac arrest. He was transported on a stretcher and later pronounced dead.
Hogan’s last WWE appearance was in Raw’s debut Netflix show, and now, he will be prominently featured in the final episode of WWE programming.
Fan Take: This tribute underscores Hulk Hogan’s monumental impact on WWE and professional wrestling as a whole. For fans, it’s a poignant moment that honors a true icon and reminds us of the deep legacy he leaves behind in the sport.
