Logan Paul Reveals He Lost $1 Million Bidding War for Hulk Hogan’s WrestleMania I Boots

Logan Paul nearly made wrestling memorabilia history himself — but even a seven-figure bid wasn’t enough to secure Hulk Hogan’s legendary WrestleMania I boots.

Following news that Hogan’s game-worn boots sold for a record-breaking $1,037,000 at Heritage Auctions, Paul confirmed he was personally involved in the bidding war. The social media star and WWE Superstar revealed that he stayed up late trying to win the iconic piece of wrestling history, only to fall just short when the final hammer dropped.

Paul shared the update on March 1, 2026, making it clear just how serious he was about acquiring the boots worn during one of the most important matches in WWE history.

“Stayed up until 2am in a bidding war trying to win Hulk Hogan’s worn & signed boots from Wrestlemania 1.”

“The inscription read ‘These are my real boots with my real blood on them from MSG, Hulk Hogan.’”

Despite pushing past the million-dollar mark, Paul ultimately came up short in his pursuit. He confirmed that he tapped out after reaching an eye-watering final bid, showing just how competitive the auction became.

“I tapped out at ,021,000. Gg to the winner.”

The boots were worn by Hogan during the main event of WrestleMania I on March 31, 1985, at Madison Square Garden, where he teamed with Mr. T to defeat Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff. That match helped launch WWE into the mainstream and cemented Hogan as the face of professional wrestling for a generation.

Even in defeat, Paul’s public acknowledgment of the bidding war confirms that wrestling collectibles have entered a new financial tier. With major names now competing for ownership, the market has officially reached a level once reserved for the biggest artifacts in sports history.
