Lex Luger Breaks Silence on Hulk Hogan’s Death: “This One Really Hit Me”

Lex Luger has finally spoken out about the loss of Hulk Hogan, and the former WCW icon made it clear—this one was personal.

A week after Hogan’s death at age 71, Luger took to Twitter/X on Thursday morning to share his heartfelt thoughts. The two legends shared major moments in WCW history, including the now-iconic confrontation on the debut episode of WCW Monday Nitro—a moment that helped ignite the Monday Night Wars. Luger admitted he needed time to come to terms with Hogan’s passing, posting:

“This one really hit me. Needed some time to process it all.”

He went on to thank Hogan for the impact he had not just on him, but on the entire wrestling business.

“Thank you Hulkster for all you did for me and so many others. My heartfelt prayers and condolences for your family and closest friends. I will see you again in heaven my friend. Save me a ringside seat.”

Luger also shared photos from their WCW run and included a screenshot of a quote from “Superstar” Billy Graham about death, offering fans a window into how deeply this loss affected him.

While many wrestlers have paid tribute to Hogan over the past week, Luger’s message stood out as a raw and personal reflection—coming from someone who once stood across the ring from Hogan at a time when wrestling history was being written.
