Hulkamania lives on

Iconic Auctions recorded a landmark sale in the wrestling collectibles market. A pair of Hogan’s ring-worn boots fetched $146,803 at auction. Sports business reporter Darren Rovell confirmed the sale on X.

“$146,803: Winning bid tonight at @IconicAuctions for Hulk Hogan’s boots matched to the 1989 Survivor Series and the 1990 Royal Rumble,” Rovell wrote. “It is the second-highest price ever paid for wrestling boots. Hulk’s photomatched boots from WrestleMania I sold for more than $1M in March.”

At the 1989 Survivor Series, Hogan captained “The Hulkamaniacs” against Ted DiBiase’s “Million Dollar Team.” Hogan’s squad of Jake “The Snake” Roberts and Demolition Ax and Smash eliminated DiBiase’s crew of Zeus and The Powers of Pain to claim victory.

Hogan wore the boots once more at the 1990 Royal Rumble, emerging victorious in the 30-man match. Sports Investors Authentication (SIA) verified and certified the boots as authentic Hogan match-worn gear.
