WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Hart discussed the passing of Hulk Hogan with People.com. “It just hits so fast,” Hart said. “It was like, ‘Oh my God.’ We thought he was doing so well, you know? We didn't go to see him at the house and didn't go to see him at the hospital, because we wanted to make sure that he didn't get any infections or anything else, like if anybody had a cold or brought anything in. So, that's what we all did.”
Eric Bischoff's 83 Weeks podcast will be doing a live stream tomorrow morning at 11 AM EST to pay tribute to Hogan.
PWInsider.com is told the Hulk Hogan-branded Hogan's Hangout in Clearwater, Florida re-opened today. I believe his others shops in Pigeon Forge, TN and Florida have also re-opened.

In Spring 1984, I was 10 years old living in Columbus, Mississippi. I had no idea that a drive to Walmart would change my life. On the shelf, LJN Wrestling Superstars Hulk Hogan. Mesmerizing. The greatest single action figure ever made. Human like in proportion.… pic.twitter.com/xGaFRLSzTN

Hulk Hogan and my brother at our father's funeral in May, 2002. Hulk went out of his way to attend the funeral in Calgary. I won't forget that. He was a friend to my dad, and like my brother said in his post- Hulk was really nice to my family and I. He showed us love during this pic.twitter.com/c0BOdipSYx

They say you should never meet your idols, but meeting Hulk Hogan made me admire him even more. He was so generous with his time and an inspiration not only as an athlete and entertainer, but also as a human being. He will be missed by us all.
