Nick Hogan may be stepping into the ring — and into his father’s legacy.
The 35-year-old son of late wrestling icon Hulk Hogan recently revealed that he’s considering following in his dad’s footsteps by joining the WWE.
But for Nick, it’s more than just a career move — it’s a way to stay connected to the man he calls his hero.
“It makes me feel so much closer to Dad,” he told TMZ. “Being around the business and being around that environment… I have a lot of love for it, and like I said, it’s in the blood.”

Speculation began after Nick shared a photo of himself training with professional wrestler Bryan Idol.

“I’m in pretty good shape right now,” he added. “Not saying too much, just trying to stay in good shape.”
