Wrestling World Mourns a Legend
Global wrestling fans are in shock following the sudden death of Hulk Hogan, a name that dominated professional wrestling for decades. The 71-year-old reportedly suffered cardiac arrest at his Florida home on Monday, according to multiple U.S. media outlets.
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) confirmed the sad news, mourning one of its biggest stars in a heartfelt statement.
“WWE is saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away. One of pop culture’s most recognisable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s,” the company said.
Born Terry Gene Bollea, Hogan first entered the wrestling ring in 1977. He quickly rose through the ranks with his signature muscles, golden hair, and unforgettable catchphrases. His battles against other icons like André the Giant and The Rock helped draw millions of fans and grow WWE’s global fame.
Hogan’s impact stretched beyond wrestling. His voice, energy, and over-the-top personality made him a regular in TV shows, movies, and commercials. “Hulkamania” became more than a gimmick — it was a cultural wave that shaped sports entertainment forever.
Reports suggest that Hogan had been dealing with medical issues in recent months and was under close supervision by doctors. His death, though shocking, follows a period of ongoing health concerns.
Hogan leaves behind his children and longtime partner. Tributes have been pouring in from around the world, with fans, former wrestlers, and celebrities sharing memories of the man who made wrestling larger than life.
His legacy as one of the most recognisable figures in sports entertainment remains unmatched.
