Hulk Hogan's son appears at WWE's 'RAW' to help honor father after his death
Nick Hogan, the son of pro wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, appeared on WWE's "Monday Night Raw" and stood front and center with his wife as the organization paid tribute to his father. Hogan was spotted near WWE executive Bruce Prichard and former pro wrestling executive Eric Bischoff. The "Raw" roster was also out on stage as a 10-bell salute was performed. "Ladies and gentlemen, we lost one of the biggest and globally recognized icons in the world. A man I grew up watching, was fortunate enough to share the ring with, and like so many of us, were honored to call a friend," WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque said. "The truth is, he captivated millions and millions of people and inspired them around the globe. We would not be standing here right now, all of us together, if it was not for him." "Monday Night Raw" took place in Detroit. The crowd chanted his name as the WWE played a video montage to honor him. The company did something similar on "Friday Night SmackDown." Hulk Hogan died on Thursday after he suffered a cardiac event at his Florida home. He was 71. Nick Hogan offered a touching tribute to his father. "This has been overwhelming and extremely difficult," he wrote on Instagram. "Hearing so many kinds words and stories about my dad's life, interactions and experiences with everyone has been incredible and comforting. My dad was the most incredible person I've ever known and will always be my hero. He was the most kind, loving and amazing father anybody could ask for. "I spent a lot of time with him the past few years after moving back to Florida to be closer to him and I am so grateful for those memories. They are the best moments in my life. I would do anything to have him back, but I know now that he will always be watching over me. I will always remember the lessons and advice he gave me and carry on in a way that I know would make him proud. "Thank you for being the best dad in the world and thank you for being my best friend. I love you so much Big Dog and I will miss you forever." Nick is the son of the "Hulkster" and his ex-wife Linda, who also share a daughter, Brooke. Hulk and Linda Hogan filed for divorce in 2007.

Tulane Basketball Player Gregg Glenn III Dies in 'Tragic Accident' at 22
NEED TO KNOW Tulane men's basketball player Gregg Glenn III died at age 22, the university confirmed Glenn reportedly died in a "tragic accident" over the weekend, according to the school's statement Tulane's head basketball coach remembered Glenn as an "exceptional athlete" and "remarkable person"Tulane men's basketball player Gregg Glenn III died at age 22 after what is being described as a "tragic accident." A statement from the university's vice president of student affairs Sarah Cunningham issued on Monday, July 28, said, "It is with profound sadness that I reach out to you today. We have lost a cherished member of our university community, Gregg Glenn III, who died in a tragic accident this weekend." Cunningham described Glenn as a "talented student-athlete who enriched our lives with his spirit, dedication, and passion for both sports and academics," calling him an "outstanding athlete" on the men's basketball team and "an individual who brought joy and light to those around him." "His commitment to excellence inspired many of us," the statement continued. "The oldest of his siblings, Gregg was a Health & Wellness major from Pompano Beach, Florida. Known for his infectious personality, positive energy, and kindness, he brightened every room he entered. Well known in the South Florida area for his basketball prowess, he will be greatly missed by many." Additional details about Glenn's cause of death were not made available. The college basketball player posted on Instagram Stories just hours before his death. At the time Tulane confirmed his passing, Glenn's Stories were still active on his profile — both were reposts of other people's posts, including one from the Utah Jazz's Taylor Hendricks. Tulane Green Wave's head coach Ron Hunter said in a statement that his program "was devastated" to learn of Glenn's death. "He was not only an exceptional athlete but also a remarkable person who brought energy, dedication, and kindness to our team and community. Gregg's spirit and passion will be deeply missed, and our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time. We will honor his memory by continuing to celebrate the impact he made on all of us." Tulane's director of broadcasting Corey Gloor said he is "absolutely gutted" by the loss. "Gregg was such a great, genuine and kind person. Love ya, G," he added. Glenn started in 34 games for Tulane last season, averaging 10.6 points per game. Read the original article on People
