Dennis Rodman’s WWE Hall Of Fame Speech Turns Emotional, Confusing, and Ends With Strange Hulk Hogan Impression

Dennis Rodman delivered one of the strangest endings of the entire WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, closing out his speech with an emotional tribute that suddenly shifted into a confusing Hulk Hogan-style impression that left fans scratching their heads.

Rodman’s induction during the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame in Las Vegas already had attention due to his long history with WCW and the nWo, but the tone of his speech quickly became unpredictable. He jumped between topics and became visibly emotional at times, especially when discussing Hulk Hogan and Hogan’s son, Nick Hogan.

At one point in the speech, Rodman spoke about Nick Hogan going through difficult times and mentioned how Hulk Hogan stood by his son no matter what. That moment appeared to deeply affect him emotionally before he pivoted toward praising Hogan’s legacy.

As the speech reached its final moments, Rodman suddenly shifted tone and began delivering what sounded like a Hulk Hogan-style impression, mixing references to Hulkamania, statues, and classic catchphrases in a way that many viewers struggled to follow.

“But here we go, guys. Here's the ending. Here's the ending right here. I love the fact when you can sit there, hold your head up high and see Hulkamania. The statue, brother. That statue, brother. And I wonder what it took so long. What took so long?”

The closing continued to spiral into a string of hard-to-understand phrases, making the finish even more unusual for a Hall of Fame speech.

“You know, I hope you guys don't laugh at this. A friend of mine, Hulk Hogan, told me, he said, what's she gonna do brother when the HulkaMania with the 24 inch pythons get a hold of you, brother? Try, try. What are you gonna do?”

He then wrapped up the speech with one final burst of energy tied to his longtime connection with the nWo.

“Thank you guys for coming out, man. Thank you guys for having me and love is in the one, baby. NWO for life.”

The strange mix of emotion, tribute, and rambling impression made Rodman’s speech one of the most talked-about moments of the night. What began as a heartfelt reflection about Hulk Hogan and Nick Hogan ended with a confusing and chaotic sendoff that felt completely in line with Rodman’s unpredictable personality.

For many watching, the speech felt both emotional and uncomfortable at the same time — especially as parts of what he said became increasingly difficult to understand toward the end.
