"Rest in Peace, Terry Bollea aka The Immortal Hulk Hogan ?️?," Johnson began his lengthy update.
He continued, "To millions of little kids you were a childhood hero - myself included.In 1984, I gave you your 'HULKSTER' headband back, in the locker room in Madison Square Garden - I was the lucky kid caught it when you threw it in the crowd."
Of the interaction, Johnson said Hogan was "shocked and so happy" because it was his "very last headband and if it weren’t for me, you’d have no way of getting that exact one made again."
Hogan promised to give Johnson another headband at a later date—and he fulfilled that promise.
"A month later in Madison Square Garden, you did just that. You kept your word, with a handshake and a 'thanks kid,' he recalled. "And that meant the world to that little 12 year old boy."
