Among the few pro wrestlers who have a hand in making pro wrestling a global phenomenon, Hulk Hogan is one of them. In his prime, The Hulkster was followed by legions of fans, irrespective of the venue he performed. Now, far removed from in-ring action, the 69-year-old still enjoys substantial fanfare.
But Hogan’s affair with fans isn’t one-sided. The poster boy of WWE’s Golden Era loves to give back the love he receives from the faithful.

Hogan is weeks away from his 70th birthday. The 12-time world champion recently shared his interaction with an ardent Hulkamaniac. He not only met the fan but also gave him a surprise that the latter is likely to remember for the rest of his life.
The Immortal One shared a video of the moment. He can be seen springing towards the individual who sat on a chair, blindfolded. Reaching close, he starts with his iconic ‘brother’ and greets the man, who by then is confused. However, when the blindfold is removed, we get to witness unadulterated emotions.
The fan, identified as Jerry Cram, hugged the legend as they exchanged greetings in person. The scene is a dream for many, but it was a dream come true for Cram, who has been writing letters to Hogan for the last five years.
Describing Cram in his post, the 69-year-old referred to him as “a remarkable individual who has been sending me letters every week for the past five years, is a Hulkamaniac who holds a special place in my heart. 💪.” Hogan met Cram during his autograph signing session in Orlando.

Cram, according to Hogan, is disabled. But his warmth melted the 69-year-old heart. “The sheer joy and gratitude radiating from his face touched me deeply. His enthusiasm reminds me of the incredible impact we can have on each other’s lives,” the post read.
“Let’s continue spreading love, compassion, and positivity, my Hulkamaniacs,” it added.
On the other hand, Hulk Hogan snubbed the use of his established social media profile to start from zero following his announcement recently.
