Summary
Nick Hogan and partner Rich Rosen are preparing to open Hulk Hogan's SLAM Sports Bar next to Madison Square Garden and Penn Station, extending the wrestler's brand in New York about a year after his death.
The venue is designed as both a sports bar and a tribute space, with vintage wrestling footage alongside live games, plus lighting and sound effects meant to recreate the feel of Hulkamania's 1980s and 1990s peak.
Rosen said the location matters because Madison Square Garden was a spiritual home of Hulkamania, and he wants the bar to serve as a throwback stop for fans leaving Knicks games, concerts and other arena events.
Nick Hogan framed the project as a way to carry his father's legacy across generations, calling Hulk Hogan the most important figure in professional wrestling entertainment for bringing the sport to a mass audience.
