WWE fans have continued to show their love and respect for Hulk Hogan after the icon's passing. The pro wrestling legend passed away due to a cardiac arrest on Thursday, and since then, tributes have been shared on social media and beyond in honor of his legacy.

Hogan's fans have now come in droves to show what the WWE Hall of Famer meant to them. Hulk Hogan's Real American Beer has been selling out rapidly across the country, according to a report from TMZ.

As a result of the demand, the company is "hustling" to restock retailers in New York, Florida, and beyond.

"Around the country, there has been a run on the beer and people are walking out with multiple 12 packs and 24 oz cans, leaving the shelves bare," sources told TMZ. [H/T: TMZ]

The report further noted that the company is working overtime to ensure the supply so that fans "can cheers to Hulk" in order to celebrate his legacy.

Hogan launched his beer company in June 2024, and since then, it has grown from strength to strength on the back of The Hulkster's popularity. In fact, earlier this year, WWE announced a multi-year partnership with the beer brand.

The brand has also secured a distribution deal with Walmart, with their stores in eight states stocking the WWE icon's beer.


Real American Freestyle wrestling shared an update after Hulk Hogan's passing

In April, Hulk Hogan launched the Real American Freestyle wrestling company alongside Eric Bischoff. They also got Kurt Angle on board as an analyst and have their first show scheduled for August 30.

However, after Hogan's sudden and tragic passing, fans wondered whether the company would go ahead with the show at Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio.

RAF clarified the future of the upcoming show in a tweet while paying tribute to The Immortal One.

"Hulk Hogan believed wrestling was more than just entertainment. He saw it as a brotherhood, a proving ground and a platform for greatness. That’s what Real American Freestyle was built to be, a new stage for the toughest, most passionate athletes on Earth. And Hulk was at the center of it. From day one, he threw his weight behind this league. He met with athletes. He watched tape, shared stories and showed up like only he could. RAF was personal to him, something bigger than all of us. This league is part of his legacy, and we intend to honor it," the tweet read.

With tributes pouring in for Hogan, his fans have once again shown why he remains Immortal to them.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
