Nick Hogan addresses possible wrestling career: ‘You never know’
At 35 years old, Nick Hogan isn’t ruling out the possibility of following in his late father’s wrestling footsteps.
Hogan posted an Instagram photo this week of himself working out in the ring with Bryan Idol of the National Wrestling Alliance. TMZ Sports later caught up with Hogan about the picture, asking if it means he has any wrestling plans. Hogan would not say much but left things at “you never know.”
“You never know, man. It’s in the blood. So, you never know,” Hogan said. “I’ve always loved the business. And obviously it makes me feel so much closer to dad, being around the business and being kind of in that environment. I have a lot of love for it. Like I said, it’s in the blood, so you never know.”
Hogan said he’s always tried to stay in touch with people in the wrestling industry, noting that it’s like a family.
When asked if he has a finishing move he’s working on, Hogan laughed, said he’s been thinking about a couple different things, and we’ll see what happens.
“It never hurts to drop the leg here and there,” he added.
Hulk Hogan — one of the biggest wrestling stars of all time — passed away at 71 this July after complications from surgery. Nick, who is the beneficiary of his father’s estate, attended multiple tributes that WWE held for his dad.
“They’ve been so accommodating and so graceful to everybody in my family,” Nick said about WWE. “And they’ve just been, you know, really, really better than I could have ever imagined anyone has taken care of us.”
