Fox News host Jesse Watters reflects on the legacy of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime.’

Hulk Hogan’s wife penned a heartfelt message on social media Friday, expressing her shock and the belief that the wrestling legend would "overcome" the health issues that had plagued him in the weeks leading up to his death on Thursday.

Sky Daily Hogan broke her silence with a lengthy message posted to Instagram early Friday morning, just a day after Hogan passed after suffering cardiac arrest at his home in Florida.
