A Hulk Hogan-themed bar is coming to New York.
Page Six reports that Rich Rosen is set to open a Hulk Hogan-themed bar called "Slam" across the street from Madison Square Garden in New York City.
“I basically waited 5 hours on line to get two seconds with Hulk Hogan,” Rosen Page Six. “I came with an 8″ by 11″ glossy picture of Madison Square Garden, and in the picture is our [storefront]… I walked up to Hulk, I dropped the picture in front of him. That’s my [storefront,] that’s the Garden, and you’re my new partner.”
Rosen says that Hogan doesn’t have a direct ownership stake in the project, and that the deal is a licensing pact that allows the bar to use his name.
The plan is to open the sports bar, which will have three floors, including a rooftop bar, in the fall. The bar will be 9000 square feet and cost $7 million.
Hogan is currently promoting his Real American Freestyle venture, which will hold its first event in August.
