Nick Hogan is not ruling out a future in pro wrestling. The son of the late WWE legend Hulk Hogan told TMZ Sports he is keeping things quiet for now, but admitted the pull toward the ring is hard to ignore.

Nick spoke to TMZ just days after he posted a workout selfie with NWA star Bryan Idol. A wrestling ring was visible in the background, which immediately set off speculation among fans that Nick might follow his father's path.
Hulk Hogan became one of the most iconic performers in wrestling history, and Nick acknowledged that connection.
"You never know, man. It's in the blood. So you never know," he told TMZ. He added that he has "always loved the business" and that being around the environment makes him feel closer to his dad.
Nick said he has been around wrestlers and industry executives for years, describing the wrestling world as a true family. He also noted he is in good shape physically, though he did not say whether the recent focus on fitness is tied to a potential in-ring future.
Nick also shared his thoughts on whether Hulk could get the Hollywood treatment, including who he would want to portray his father if a biopic ever materializes.
He spoke more seriously about life after Hulk's passing in July, saying he is taking things one day at a time. Nick thanked WWE, fans and his father's friends for the outpouring of support over the last few months.
For now, he is staying noncommittal. But the door to the ring is clearly not closed.
