Remembering Hulk Hogan: A Look Inside the Upcoming Opening of 'Slam' Bar in NYC
Hulk Hogan's legacy lives on through the upcoming opening of his new bar in NYC, despite his recent passing. His son, Nick, visited the establishment during WWE SummerSlam weekend to check on the progress. The bar, named "Slam," is located near Madison Square Garden, where Hulk made his WWE debut in 1979. Nick, accompanied by business partner Rich Rosen, seemed pleased with the development of the 9,000-square-foot bar, which is set to open later this year. Rosen emphasized that the bar will honor Hulk's spirit and legacy, providing fans a place to celebrate his career and unforgettable moments.
After his visit to the bar, Nick attended SummerSlam at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, where he received a warm welcome from the crowd. He also made an appearance at "Monday Night Raw" in Detroit, where a 10-bell salute was held in honor of his father, a WWE Hall of Famer. Hulk Hogan passed away last month at the age of 71 due to acute myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack. He had a history of atrial fibrillation and was also diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Despite Hulk's passing, the anticipation for the opening of Slam continues to grow, with fans eager to visit the new establishment. The bar aims to be a gathering place for Hulkamaniacs from around the world to celebrate the wrestling legend's legacy and the impact he had on the sport. Stay tuned for more updates on the grand opening of Slam and join us in honoring the memory of Hulk Hogan.
