WWE has paid tribute to one of its most iconic figures, Hulk Hogan, during WrestleMania 42 weekend, unveiling a new attraction at WWE World in Las Vegas that immediately drew attention from fans and legends alike.
The moment carried a mix of celebration and reflection — fitting for a weekend built on legacy as much as spectacle.
Hulk Hogan statue unveiled at WWE World during WrestleMania 42 weekend
On April 16, WWE officially revealed a larger-than-life bronze statue of Hulk Hogan at WWE World, part of the “Hulkamania Forever” exhibit.
The unveiling comes less than a year after Hogan’s passing in July 2025, making this the first WrestleMania season honoring him posthumously.
The statue captures Hogan in his signature pose — bandana on, sunglasses in place, and muscles flexed like he’s still ready to headline the main event. For many fans in attendance, it wasn’t just a photo opportunity — it was a moment that hit harder than a leg drop from the top rope.
The ceremony featured several notable figures, including Hogan’s son Nick Hogan, alongside WWE executives and legends such as Triple H and Jimmy Hart. Their presence added a personal touch, reinforcing that this wasn’t just about the character of “The Hulkster,” but the man behind it.
Triple H shared the moment, encouraging fans to visit the display, calling it simply “Immortal.” The tribute also aligns with Hogan receiving the “Immortal Moment” honor at this year’s Hall of Fame for his WrestleMania III clash with André the Giant.
Hogan now joins a select group of legends immortalized in bronze, including André the Giant, Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, The Ultimate Warrior, and Roddy Piper. It’s rare air — and fitting for someone who helped put WrestleMania on the map.
With additional tributes planned throughout the weekend and a documentary set to release on April 22, WWE is ensuring Hogan’s legacy remains larger than life — even beyond the ring.
As WrestleMania 42 unfolds, the statue stands as a reminder that while careers end, icons don’t tap out.
