Future of Hulk Hogan’s Slam Bar Near Madison Square Garden After His Death Revealed

Hulk Hogan may be gone, but his final dream isn’t going anywhere. Just days after the WWE Hall of Famer passed away, his business partner confirmed that Hogan’s last big project—Hulk Hogan’s Slam Sports Bar—will still be opening right across the street from Madison Square Garden.

Rich Rosen, Hogan’s longtime friend and business partner, issued the statement via PageSix. For Hogan, this wasn’t just a place to grab a drink—it was personal.

“Absolutely crushed by the passing of my partner and dear friend Hulk Hogan, unquestionably the greatest sports entertainer and athlete of our generation and a true American icon… His final great business venture was a new sports bar directly across the street from MSG called HULK HOGAN’S SLAM SPORTS BAR. It was his idea to have his name put on this brand.”

According to Rosen, the Garden wasn’t just a venue—it was sacred ground to Hogan. He wanted a place where fans could gather and celebrate the legacy of Hulkamania just steps from where it all began.

“Hulk had many loves in his life, but the one that ruled his heart was Madison Square Garden. In his own words, ‘I spent 40 years of my life in that building tearing that place down.’”

From winning titles to headlining WrestleMania, MSG is where Hogan’s legend exploded—and now, Slam Sports Bar will serve as a tribute to those unforgettable moments. Rosen promised the bar will still open as planned this fall.

“SLAM will open and it will become the greatest sports entertainment venue the city of New York will ever know.”

The official Slam Sports Bar page echoed the sentiment with its own tribute to the Hulkster.

“Hulk Hogan’s Slam Sports Bar, right across from Madison Square Garden, will stand as a tribute to the man who taught us to dream big, fight hard, and always believe in the power of Hulkamania.”

Hogan’s final days were filled with serious health battles—renal failure, COPD, and complications from neck surgery—but the man who defined an era refused to let his vision die with him. Now, fans will have a place to relive the magic of Hulkamania right in the heart of New York.
