Nick Hogan Visits Hulk Hogan’s NYC Bar Near MSG Following Legend’s Death
Hulk Hogan’s only son, Nick Hogan, toured his father’s new 9,000-square-foot bar across from Madison Square Garden just weeks after the wrestling icon’s passing from acute myocardial infarction on July 29, 2025.
Maya Rivers here, weaving subtle stanzas around a story that feels part eulogy and part urban myth as a giant’s spirit lives on in brick and mortar.
A storefront stands silent yet humming, bathed in early morning light and the faint echo of chants for Hulkamania. Fans may not hear their own footsteps, but they sense the life force imbued by the late wrestler-turned-entrepreneur. The corner at 34th Street holds memories of Hulk Hogan’s WWE debut back in 1979 and now awaits the grand opening of “Slam,” a place where cheers once rained and where legacy breathes through concrete walls.
The project moves forward under the stewardship of Hulk’s son and business partner Rich Rosen, who told Page Six that the bar will open in honor of the Hulkster’s lifelong passion. Rosen said, “Hulk poured his heart into this project. He shaped the spirit of what Slam was meant to be.” Their smiles in TMZ’s photos say volumes: this venture was more than a bar—it was a living, breathing monument to unforgettable matches and larger-than-life personality.
After inspecting high-top tables and neon signage, Nick hopped across the Hudson to MetLife Stadium for WWE SummerSlam, where the jumbotron beamed his face to roaring fans on both nights. Days earlier in Detroit, he joined Monday Night Raw and observed the customary ten-bell salute for his father, a poignant reminder of the community Hulk fostered inside and outside the ring. The warm ovations confirmed that Hogan’s influence still reverberates among wrestling faithful.
Medical records confirm Hulk Hogan died of acute myocardial infarction following cardiac arrest in his Florida home. The 71-year-old legend battled atrial fibrillation and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, though the timeline of his cancer diagnosis remains private. Despite these challenges, he poured his creativity into “Slam,” a business venture located at the very corner where his career ignited decades ago. The bar is slated to open later this year, promising fans a sanctuary of memorabilia, signature cocktails, and stories spun over clinking glasses.
Modern legends rarely fade quietly. The ghosts of past glories linger in every draft beer poured here, in every replay of Hulk’s iconic leg drop on giant screens. As bricks are laid and glasses polished, the world waits to step inside and relive the mania. A poetic echo of triumph and loss, “Slam” stands ready to toast the Hulkster’s enduring spirit.
And so the curtain rises on a new chapter for wrestling’s beloved hero, written in neon lights and shared laughter. What awaits inside these walls is more than a bar—it is a living anthology of a myth that refuses to grow old.
