On Instagram, Strowman paid tribute to Hogan, stating that he lost a huge part of his childhood.

"Lost a huge part of mine and so many others childhoods today. Professional Wrestling would be no where near what it is without this man. He made wrestling mainstream he made wrestling cool. For me as a fat bullied kid I had two hero’s. My father and @hulkhogan and how crazy that my childhood hero’s became friends later on in my life. Thank you for all the memories and the confidence to believe in myself. You were and will always be a legend!!! This was the first and last photos I had with the Hulkster!! Rest In Power!!!" wrote Strowman.
