“My ladies and gentlemen, we lost one of the greatest and globally recognized icons in the world. A man I grew up watching was lucky enough to share the ring with, and like so many of us, was honored to call a friend,” said WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque.
“The truth is that he captivated millions and millions of people and inspired them across the globe. We wouldn’t stand here right now, all of us if it wasn’t for him.”
“Monday Night Raw” took place in Detroit. The audience shouted his name when WWE played a video montage to honor him. The company did something similar on “Friday Night Smackdown.”

Nick Hogan offered a touching tribute to his father.
“This has been overwhelming and extremely difficult,” he wrote on Instagram. “Hearing so many kinds of words and stories about my father’s life, interactions and experiences with everyone has been incredible and comforting. My dad was the most incredible person I have ever known and will always be my hero. He was the most friendly, loving and amazing dad anyone could pray for.
“I spent a lot of time with him over the last few years after moving back to Florida to be closer to him and I am so grateful for these memories. They are the best moments of my life. I would do something to have him back, but I know now that he will always keep an eye on me. I will always remember the lessons and advice he gave me and continue in a way that I know would do him proudly.
“Thanks for being the best dad in the world and thanks for being my best friend. I love you so much big dog and I will miss you forever.”
