Legendary wrestler and WWE icon Hulk Hogan has died
25 Jul, 2025
Legendary wrestler and WWE icon Hulk Hogan has died at 71-years-old, according to multiple reports.
TMZ reported that a cardiac arrest call was placed and medics were sent to Hogan’s home in Clearwater, Florida, and he was carried on a stretcher into an ambulance.
This follows news last month where Hogan’s wife, Sky, denied rumors that he was in a coma and said that his heart was “strong” after he recovered from a neck surgery.
Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, was born in Augusta, Georgia in 1953. He went on to become a pop-culture phenomenon, transforming the WWE. After defeating the Iron Sheik for the World Heavyweight Championship in 1984, he coined the term “Hulkamania.” His most memorable performances include a matchup with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson at WrestleMania X8 in 2002, as well as a face-off with Andre the Giant.
In 2005, Hogan was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, though he was removed in 2015 following a scandal over alleged racist comments during a sexual encounter. The clip was posted by Gawker, and Hogan sued the publication, winning the lawsuit. He was re-inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2020 as a member of New world Order (NWO).
He last appeared on WWE during RAW’s Netflix debut on January 6. (Ticket News)
