And to help us, referee Brian Hebner will join us and also DDP Diamond Dallas Page right now on the Busted Open podcast.

This is the Busted Open podcast.

Somebody who's a very loyal nation member and somebody that we respect highly is called in.

And that's Brian Hebner this morning.

Brian, thanks for calling in this morning.

Appreciate it.

Hey, good morning, guys.

Just wanted to start out by saying, you know, I'm deeply sad.

It's been hard for me because of the great history between him and my dad and myself.

And it all started for me back in 1986 when I was 13 years old, and I met this iconic figure who is and was a superhero to me.

And I just couldn't believe I was in the presence of Hulk Hogan.

And then you go full circle and, hold on one second.

And you get the privilege of actually headlining a WrestleMania with Vince McMahon versus Hulk Hogan.

And I'm the referee for this 13-year-old boys and saw his hero, and now I'm in the ring doing what I love passionately with Hulk Hogan.

And then you go full circle from there, and I get to go to T&NA and work with Halk Hogan on a personal level.

And it's just crazy how life goes.

And I just want to say, you guys are doing an awesome job.

This guy deserves everything y'all are doing for him and more.

And sorry I being a little emotional, but just a tough, tough situation for me.

And Brian, you know, listening to you and I understand the emotions, but, you know, to us as kids, you know,

Hogan was a larger than life figure.
