The Pro Wrestling star, Aron Stevens, who acts in the National Fight Alliance, remembered Hogan in a statement to Pak Gazette Digital. Stevens also acted on WWE as Damien Sandow.
“Hulk Hogan is someone who is interwoven in the American fabric. He embodied all the principles and ideals that was good over the United States,” Stevens said. “And when he first jumped to fame in the 80s, that was a time when, as a country, we were not as divided as now.
“Everyone was proud to be Americans, and Hulk was the personification of that. From his battles with the sheikh of iron to the sergeant, the slaughterhouse during the Iraqi war, Hulk was someone who everyone could encourage because he represented, in regard to his personality in the ring, the best of what this country is.”
Stevens, whose real name is Aron Haddad, recalled the appearance of Hogan in the Republican National Convention and a demonstration in Madison Square Garden and how he obtained one of the main touches of those events.

He also noticed the impact Hogan had on young fans.
“When you look back in his life, every sick child who put a smile on his face and made them forget that they were sick, every boy who inspired to live a better life, to do the right thing, every adult who inspired, everyone, that is something that most people, I don’t think they think enough,” he said.

“Obviously, it will never be forgotten, but it was a pioneer,” Stevens said. “He was really the first of his species, and I don’t think we will see another person like Hulk Hogan in the wrestling business never again. So, Hulk, rests in peace.”
