WWE champion Ric Flair wrote on Instagram July 24, “I Am Absolutely Shocked To Hear About The Passing Of My Close Friend @hulkhogan. Hulk Has Been By My Side Since We Started In The Wrestling Business. An Incredible Athlete, Talent, Friend, And Father!”
Flair further noted that when his youngest son Reid Flair was facing a health scare, Hogan—who won six WWE championships during his life—showed immense generosity.
“Our Friendship Has Meant The World To Me,” Flair continued. “He Was Always There For Me Even When I Didn’t Ask For Him To Be. He Was One Of The First To Visit Me When I Was In The Hospital With A 2% Chance Of Living, And He Prayed By My Bedside. Hulk Also Lent Me Money When Reid Was Sick. Hulkster, No One Will Ever Compare To You! Rest In Peace My Friend!”
