WWE Wishes Hulk Hogan A Happy Birthday

Hogan turned 61 on Monday, and Monday Night Raw dedicated their night to celebrating Hulk. The evening began with a highlight reel and happy birthday messages from celebrities, including NFL stars Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers and AJ Hawk.

But first, the night began with a highlight reel and a surprise ‘NWO’ – New World Order – reunion with guests Ric Flair, ‘Mr. Wonderful’ Paul Orndorff, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. In the ring with Nash and Hall, Hulk, wearing his traditional red and yellow, ripped off his shirt to reveal his NWO gear. The crowd was broke out into a chorus of ‘Happy Birthday’ only to be interrupted by Lesnar.

Lesnar and Hogan had an impressive stare contest before John Cena jumped into the ring wearing Hulk’s red and yellow colors. The stunt was planned to promote Cena and Lesnar’s upcoming showdown at SummerSlam.

Following the show on Tuesday, Hogan thanked his fans and WWE on Twitter for all their love and support, writing, “Home thinking about RAW last night, totally grateful for the love, loyalty and support of the WWE Universe.”
