- Speaking of the Hulkster, People magazine caught up with him to see how his son Nick is doing in prison. Hogan said that his time in prison is going to turn Nick into a "great man." He said that before this happened, Nick was moving through life and maybe no appreciating the things that he had. "It's the best thing that ever happened to him. I'm not saying it's a good thing. But it happened for a reason," Hogan added. Come October Nick is expected to be released early from jail after participating in an inmate work program. He was supposed to serve an eight month sentence which started on May 9th.
