American Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan passes away at 71

The wrestling world is mourning following the death of Hulk Hogan, the legendary WWE Hall of Famer who revolutionized professional wrestling and became a global pop culture phenomenon. Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, died at 71 on July 24, 2025, after suffering a cardiac arrest at his Clearwater, Florida home

Hogan was pronounced dead at a hospital after emergency responders rushed to his home following a cardiac arrest call early Thursday morning. He was stretchered into an ambulance but could not be revived.

The wrestling icon had undergone neck surgery in May 2025 and was recovering at home. Weeks before his death, rumors swirled about his declining health, but his wife, Sky Daily, dismissed claims he was in a coma, stating his heart was “strong”.

Hogan’s career spanned five decades, leaving an indelible mark on sports entertainment:

Hulkamania Era (1980s): His victory over The Iron Sheik in 1984 launched “Hulkamania,” turning WWE (then WWF) into a mainstream sensation. His matches with Andre the Giant and The Ultimate Warrior became legendary.

May his soul rest in peace.
