Hulk Hogan doesn’t have the best reputation in the wrestling world these days due to a series of controversies surrounding him. Over the years, he hasn’t been in a favorable spotlight with fans, despite issuing several apologies. It appears that the Hulkster is making things worse, as he recently lied about his son being involved with WWE.
Hulk Hogan has faced a severe amount of backlash from fans since an audio clip was released in which he could be heard making racist remarks about his daughter’s boyfriend. His contract with WWE was immediately terminated and he was shunned by the entire wrestling community.
Hulk Hogan caught lying about son Nick
In a recent interview by Chris Van Vliet, Hulk Hogan talked about the time when Shane McMahon talked to him about the possibility of having his son, Nick Hogan compete at WrestleMania 39.
According to the Hulkster, Shane McMahon shared the idea of squaring off at the April Extravaganza this year. When Hogan said that it would be difficult for him to step between the ropes again, McMahon suggested that the Hulkster’s son, Nick Hogan could be the perfect ‘surrogate’ for the matchup. Shane suggested that Nick could play the part of a heel and target him for ‘destroying his dad’s career’. Hulk Hogan expressed the following in the interview:
“Shane had called me and sent me a picture of him from Madison Square Garden, standing in front of my stuff and he goes, ‘Hey old timer, you got one more left in you?’ I went, ‘Okay, what are you thinking?’ He goes, ‘Well, I don’t know if you had one more left in you, or maybe a surrogate such as Nick [Hogan].’ So we started talking and I said that the only way I could do anything is if I was in the middle of the ring and you just came to me, because I can’t run or hit the ropes. I have a hard time walking distance.”
Hogan went on to say that the idea got cancelled as Shane apparently suffered a quad injury and the Hulkster never heard from him before. However, Chris Van Vliet pointed out the fact that McMahon hurt his quad during his match at WrestleMania 39, to which Hogan said, “Anyway, that whole idea, I just never heard from him again so that was pretty much it.”
This was later proven false by Fightful.com, who were in contact with a higher-up in WWE. Apparently, Nick Hogan’s name has never been brought up, even during creative discussions. Although Shane McMahon is known to have weird ideas sometimes, it seems like a stretch for him to reach out to Hulk Hogan and have his son face him at the Biggest Show of the year.
Hulkster’s kids: identity, age, profession, everything to know about
Hulk Hogan has two children, a daughter named Brooke Hogan and a son named Nick Hogan. They appeared on a TV show featuring the Hulkster’s personal life, called Hogan Knows Best.
Brooke Hogan, better known as Brooke Ellen Bollea, was born on 5 May, 1988 in Tampa Bay, Florida. In the early 2000s, she began her journey as a musician and released her first single in 2004. Following that, she began touring with big name musicians and eventually featured on Hogan Knows Best, where the Hulkster was portrayed as a strict and overprotective father, who supported his daughter’s musical career. She also had a brief career in wrestling, as she was featured in both WWE and TNA for a short time.
On the other hand, Nick Anthony Bollea, aka Nick Hogan was born on 27 July, 1990 in Los Angeles, California. He was also featured on Hogan Knows Best, where he could be seen beginning his journey in motorsports. After getting his Formula D license in 2006, Nick participated in one of their competitions. However in 2007, he suffered a serious car crash, which left his friend, who was a passenger in the car, with severe brain damage. Nick Hogan was charged with reckless driving and spent 6 months in jail. He also got his driver’s license revoked.
As of today, Hulk Hogan’s children are doing relatively well in life. Not much is known about their personal life, which is arguably better for them. Stay tuned for further updates on WWE.
