Tributes continue at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit for the WWE legend, Hulk Hogan. WWE's celebrations in that city are tied to the fact that the city is famously linked to Hogan’s legendary WrestleMania III bodyslam over Andre the Giant.

As per reports, Nick Hogan, Hulk’s only son, was photographed backstage post-show, posing with WWE personnel and collaborators. Nick was accompanied by his wife, Tana Lea, Hogan’s business partners from the Real American Beer company, and Eric Bischoff, a longtime friend of Hogan, was also present.

On Sunday, July 27, 2025, Nick took to his Instagram to pen an emotional tribute to his father. The post reads:

''Thank you to everyone who has reached out to me and comforted me over the last few days. It truly means a lot. I’m sorry to everyone I have not responded to yet. This has been overwhelming and extremely difficult.''

He then mentioned that during the difficult time, hearing stories about his father's life and interactions with people was comforting for him. He continued:

''My dad was the most incredible person I’ve ever known and will always be my hero. He was the most kind, loving and amazing father anybody could ask for. I feel so blessed to have had the greatest dad in the world. He was not only the best dad but also my mentor and my best friend.''

He added:

''He always has been my best friend and I love him and miss him more than I could ever explain. I thanked him for everything he has ever done for me and told him how much I loved him and hugged him every chance I got. I spent a lot of time with him the past few years after moving back to Florida to be closer to him and I am so grateful for those memories.''
