In 2002, Hulk Hogan and Edge won the WWE World Tag Team Championships. They did so by defeating the team of Billy & Chuck on the July 2nd, 2002 Smackdown from the Fleet Center in Boston.
Hogan recently praised Edge on Twitter:
@EdgeRatedR is truly one of the greats in the @wwe. Only a neck injury stopped him from surpassing all of us. He knows the business’s inside and out brother. Only love4EDGE. HH#edge #ratedr #wwe #hulkhogan #hulkamania #wrestling #legend pic.twitter.com/XXtjMoGYsT

Edge grew up a Hulk Hogan fan. He has spoken of attending WrestleMania VI in Toronto as a youngster frequently. Hogan has not had much luck at WrestleManias in Edge’s hometown, losing high-profile matches each time WrestleMania has been held in the city. Hogan lost to the Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VI and again to the Rock at WrestleMania 18.
Coming from the brother brother who inspired me to be a wrestler, this type of compliment will resonate with me until I’m the old, surly, uncool grandpa who tells all the grandkids, back in my day I teamed with Hulk Hogan. And the people went banana! Although they actually did https://t.co/3wCHZVdq0I

Johnny Gargano Grows Up an Edge Fan
Just as Edge grew up a fan of Hulk Hogan, there are Superstars active today who grew up fans of Edge. One of those Superstars is Johnny Gargano. Recently, Gargano posted a photo he took of himself as a kid posing with Edge.
“Hey @EdgeRatedR, Remember on the @EandCPod when I said that the first time we met was backstage at an indy show in 2015?.. A trip to my Mom’s house jogged my memory. That totally wasn’t the first time we met.. This was 2004!”
