WWE typically holds tributes during shows after former stars have died, but given Hogan's status and impact on the industry, it was a night full of remembrance for the creator of "Hulkamania" with major names paying respect to the WWE Hall of Famer.

Hogan, who died yesterday at the age of 71, is by many objective metrics the most famous pro wrestler of all time.

Hogan is considered an all-time great wrestler because he captured 12 world titles, split between his time in WWE, formerly known as WWF, and WCW.
