Seven-figure offer not enough to win historic memorabilia
Summary
– Logan Paul confirms he bid over $1 million on Hulk Hogan’s WrestleMania I boots
– Final sale price reached $1,037,000 at auction
– Boots worn during 1985 Madison Square Garden main event
Logan Paul nearly secured a major piece of wrestling history, but his seven-figure bid was not enough.
After news broke that Hulk Hogan’s WrestleMania I boots sold for $1,037,000 at Heritage Auctions, Paul revealed he was part of the intense bidding war. He shared that he stayed up until 2 a.m. attempting to win the boots worn during one of WWE’s most iconic moments.
The boots were game-worn and signed, complete with an inscription referencing Madison Square Garden and the original WrestleMania main event. Despite surpassing the million-dollar mark, Paul confirmed he tapped out at $1,021,000.
Hogan wore the boots on March 31, 1985, when he teamed with Mr. T to defeat Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff. That match helped propel WWE into mainstream popularity and established Hogan as a central figure in professional wrestling history.
Although Paul did not win the auction, his involvement underscores the growing value of wrestling memorabilia. With collectors and high-profile names competing at this level, historic wrestling artifacts are now commanding prices once reserved for the most celebrated items in sports.
