Hulk Hogan received a message from Roddy Piper.
Hulk Hogan got baptized in December 2023 and has continued to promote his faith, including a recent appearance on the 700 Club.
During his interview, Hogan recalled receiving a message from Roddy Piper, seemingly from beyond the grave.
"Can I tell you a crazy wrestling story? A buddy of mine Roddy Piper passed away. He was really trying hard to surrender and get his life straight. We would text every single day. In the wrestling business for 25 years we couldn’t stand each other, we were at each other’s throats. I know it is predetermined and all that but he did not like me and I did not like him. That’s just how it was. Well, once we got older and we basically had some conversations, we started talking. He started asking about my spirituality. He didn’t connect but he was very curious. He wouldn’t surrender. All of a sudden, he passes away.
"It was an A&E special about Roddy Piper. The very thing, when they get ready to go to credits, it wasn't a text message, but it was a text message that was voice message on the text. But this message came in two days after he died and the text message goes ‘I’m just loving you, my brother. I'm just walkin’ with Jesus. Walkin’ with Jesus and loving you, my brother.' He would have never said that when he was here. It is amazing how things work."
Though Hogan has a history of stretching the truth, this one seems to hold up as Hogan recalled the same story on Piper's A&E special and the voice message was played.
