"This text message came in two days after he died and it goes, "I'm just loving you, my brother. Just walkin' with Jesus. Walkin' with Jesus and loving you, my brother".

"I was like, 'He would have never said that when he was here'."

Hogan and Piper faced off for the WFF Championship in 1985 and their rivalry lasted until a WWE contest in 2003.

Hogan, 70, revealed Piper's death hit him hard during an appearance on an episode of WWE Legends.

He said: "I felt like I got shot in the chest with a cannon. It knocked me off track for a couple of days.

"It was really weird because I get this voice message, either my phone was messed up. That really spooked me out, to get a voice message from somebody after the passed away."

The message was also played out loud on the episode.
