UNKNOWN AWARD
In this often-circulated picture which (judging by Hogan's WCW shirt and bandana) seems to be from 1994 or 1995, Hogan is seen standing with Bodybuilder/actor Lou Ferrigno where Hogan can be seen holding some kind of a transparent award. The transparency is evidence that this is NOT one of the Pro Wrestling Illustrated awards that he won that year as many have speculated. However, since this picture was taken before the days of HD it is impossible to read the inscription in order to determine exactly what award this is. It is possible that it is not for Hogan at all but, rather, he is about to present it to the youngster in the picture but, as of yet, I have found no evidence as to what award this is. I will update this section as soon as I find more information.

HULK HOGAN APPRECIATION NIGHT
On February 27, 2015, World Wrestling Entertainment celebrated 30 years of Hulkamania in Madison Square Garden. While they were actually about 13 months late for the actual 30th anniversary of Hogan's historic and monumental victory over the Iron Sheik to win his first WWF World championship (and about 6 years late of Hogan's first ever MSG match where he faced Ted DiBiase), the ceremony was well received by all in attendance as WWE showed their appreciation for all Hogan had done for professional wrestling over the past (more than) three decades. Hogan was presented with a painted portrait of himself and a banner celebrating 30 years of Hulkamania was raised alongside of the many championship banners hung inside the Garden. Among those in attendance were Ric Flair, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Triple H and Jimmy Hart. {WATCH}
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB ALUMNI HALL OF FAME
Class of 2018
On May 2, 2018 Hulk Hogan was inducted into the Boys and Girls Clubs of America Alumni Hall of Fame. The event was hosted by Emmy and Tony-award winning actor and Club alum Courtney B. Vance, and honored alumni who have gone on from their Boys & Girls Club to make major contributions in their professions, from sports to entertainment to the military and more. As a child Terry Bollea would ride his bike five miles every day to attend the Interbay Club of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tampa Bay, where he loved to play baseball. He remembers touring the Club with his mom and dad and being immediately impressed by its library and swimming pool. When he learned to swim and dive from the Club's 10-foot diving board, Terry knew he could achieve anything in life.
WWE Hall of Fame (nWo)
Class of 2020
Hulk Hogan became a two-time WWE Hall of Famer (along with fellow nWo members Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Sean "Syxx Pac" Waltman) on April 4, 2021, when the nWo was inducted as part of the HOF class of 2020. Originally announced on December 9, 2019, the faction was supposed to be inducted on April 2, 2020, from the Amalie Arena in Tampa Florida as part of WrestleMania 36 weekend and would have aired live on the WWE Network. The event, however, was postponed due to the government mandated Coronavirus shutdown. On August 27, 2020, it was announced that the 2020 Class would be inducted alongside the Class of 2021 during WrestleMania 37 week; WrestleMania 37 itself was relocated to Tampa from its original location of Los Angelas California It was later confirmed that the 2021 ceremony would take place at the WWE Thunderdome at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg Florida. The event was pre-taped on March 30 and April 1 to air on April 6 on Peacock's WWE Network channel in the United States and on the standard WWE Network internationally.
